Madonnastyle

by Carol Clerk

Madonna is a genuine superstar in a class of her own. She has revolutionized the world of entertainment with her ability to be all things to all people in her ongoing crusades as the "mother of reinvention." The lavishly illustrated madonnastyle looks in detail at her development as a visual performer on stage, on video and in real life, as she moves from the riotous street punk explosions of her early appearances through her controversial use of erotic and religious imagery to the sophisticated and superbly orchestrated presentations that are her forté today. It explores the childhood and adolescent experiences at the heart of Madonna's most memorable creations, charting her struggles with Catholicism, her sexual history and her idealization of motherhood. But style is not just about fashion, it's about identity, attitude, personality and lifestyle, and madonnastyle studies, from their origins, the qualities and choices that have become an inseparable part of her legend.

I'm biased. I'm featured in this book as one of Madonna's fans.

I thought this book was put together well, and a fair amount of the photographs are great. I just wish I hadn't spent 25 bucks on it.
