@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
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
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
@bluebears: What I want to know is--does Steven Klein love blackface? Was it his idea or hers? Why is he the blackface go-to photographer? ???? #madonnablackface
@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.
So how long will it be before Megan Fox becomes the Lindsay Lohan to his Ungaro? They seem a perfect fit: riotously self-absorbed, yet transparently self-loathing, celebwhorious, lovers of sexyface, and quick with a terrible or ridiculous quote. Perfection.

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