I know a lot of people who wanted to take a look at her book.
People were interested in her as a “performance artist-type” who used her public personas to play provocative meme-games effectively (assuming that the desired outcome was attention, controversy, music revenue), even if these people despised her music.
But everyone I know who wanted to take a look at the book, or liked her as a provocateur, or liked her because she was hot, wondered"why was she interested in using that guy in her SEX book?
People just seems to think that was a kinda lame choice.
The book was interesting, well-made, and probably beautifully furthered her agenda. It may have made $ for her as well, I dunno.
That doesn’t mean people can’t have opinions on some aspect or other about the book.
The biggest comment I heard at the time about the book from people who generally liked her level of guts as a performer was, “why him”?
I doubt that particular reaction was her intention. But what do I know? Perhaps that was exactly her intention.
Whatever. She lived thru it. She can still pay her bills and get attention. I guess she’s doing kinda ok.
"like the fist of an angry god!?"
I… That… There… No words… They should’ve sent a poet!
That’s gotta be one of the best similes I’ve ever heard. Succient, eloquent, blasphemous, AND apropos! I’m totally stealing that for the next time someone asks me if im gonna make a deadline in scrum.
@f00l he was young, good looking, and popular. Why not be a cougar? Lol
They actually broke up because of that book. He didn’t like it because it looked like she was fucking a bunch of other people in the photos.
And then there’s Jim Carrey’s version …
I actually went to a Vanilla Ice concert back in the day. We got floor seats like 10 rows back. It was a tremendous, energy-packed show.
Dude seriously put on a good show.
@therealjrn my first concert in probably 1990 was a Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer double bill. It was awesome at the time.
@djslack This had to be the near late 70’s, perhaps near early 80’s.
My very first concert was BTO…circa 1975…
As it should of been and shall remain the same.
@therealjrn VI didnt start til late 80s (if you believe wikipedia)
Pardon my fact checking, I was just making sure my memory wasn’t failing me.
@mollama Thanks, I guess it’s my failing memory.
I always kinda wondered:
If Madonna wanted to do a way provocative, out-there book about SEX, why did she let that guy be involved with it?
@f00l Yeah… I have no idea what you are barking about…
Did she make money? Were people happy with the product?
Latter-Day Madonna I’m not quite a fan of…but you know that Jane Fonda in Barbarella? I’d hit that shit like the fist of an angry god.
That is why a LOL and LOL again, over and over her weak-ass, I’ve made my money now bullshit.
@f00l I dunno, you can’t get much more out of there than Robbie.

@ZenAtWork LOL, it’s not mine. I’m sure I read it somewhere, perhaps on a chan, or fark.com or something. Use it in good health.
@f00l I’m confused. They were dating at the time. Why wouldn’t she put him in it?
@RiotDemon
He was an odd choice for that, also.
But hey. I think she’s pretty OK with her life this far.
Ali good.
@f00l he was young, good looking, and popular. Why not be a cougar? Lol

@RiotDemon
I was aware of Madonna, but didn’t follow her life.
I hadn’t even known she was involved with him for a while.
Anyway, I have confidence that they both had some idea what they were doing.
@f00l I looked it up when you first mentioned this because I vaguely remembered that they were involved in some way.
My mom still has a book that’s sealed. Never opened.
@RiotDemon
That book is worth something $-wise.
I had one. Somehow it vanished.
@f00l it’s in storage now. It’ll probably get passed down to me one day. Maybe after Madonna is gone, I can sell it.
@RiotDemon
If it’s sealed, those are selling in eBay for more than $100.
Right after she dies or hits the news big-time, the price should jump.
Say mom? “Word.”.
