    Harry Connick Jr doesn't need to come explain anything to me, and the whole of Australia didn't suggest to this random online fashion mag that this was a good idea. FFS. My country isn't to blame for this horrible cover, a bunch of hipster wankers in Chippendale are. I hear they have them in the States, too.

    Ok. the (unapproved) comments on that Harry Connick Jr. piece are disgusting. Blech. I need to wash my brain out. Talk about a collective not getting it.

    Oooooooo, a Black Madonna. She's so edgy. Her references are off the scale. OOoooooo.

    Please, who hasn't heard of a Black Madonna. Give me a break. #madonnablackface

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Erm, anyone who hasn't studied Medieval art and religion, at a guess? It's not like you can pick up a six pack of them at the supermarket. I think she made a good call. #madonnablackface

    @jenrobe: Oh she undoubtedly made a good call. She just isn't OFF THE SCALE with her references. Anyone with a college degree (and a great many people without one) have heard of a Black Madonna, or at least know how to use Google well enough to find it. #madonnablackface

    In reply to Madonna: "I Did A Photo Shoot With Steven Klein, And I Painted My Face Black"
    Oh yes, Madonna is known for nothing if not her "off-the-Richter-Scale-references." Please enlighten me as to what the symbolism behind "Lucky Star" is, Madonna. Or even the super-profound lyrics "Nothing really matters/Love is all we need/Everything I give you all comes back to me"? I can't wait to have my mind blown. #madonnablackface

    I didn't realize Madonna actually had any filter for tastelessness or appropriating cultural/religious imagery. #madonnablackface

    And here I was still trying to figure out what subtle and undoubtedly obscure references she was getting at with Hard Candy, the pink lollipop background and the crotch shot. Oh Madonna, I can't keep up! #madonnablackface

    @Highsmith: seriously. And here's a crazy concept sometimes shit can have more than one meaning ie. black Madonna and blackface. I mean...big red lips? sorry, but that is fucking offensive, I can't believe she'd even consider it. ass. #madonnablackface

    I picture him saying these things with his accent and I fall out.

    Some are so over the top, they're hilarious. Of course if he were not outrageously talented nobody would care about his POV.

    @lafleur: You're not the only one. I'm sorry, but he never disappoints. And he has this hilarious mixture of a German accent and a very affected intonation when he speaks French (and then occasionally throws in a word of argot that has everyone going "Wut?"), and of course he's going to say the most obnoxious things...I love it.

    It's weird, because I have no particular affection for provocateurs, but he's the exception. Plus, there are the clothes.
