They are doing incredible work in Madonna history. I want to go down to Brazil and do a story on their memorabilia...!

I first found Madonna through her Ray of Light era, specifically Frozen and Nothing Really Matters so for me, brunette Madonna was the OG Madonna and I shamelessly fangirled over the Nothing Really Matters kimono when it was on display at the V&A pre-pandemic.

Alessandra and Dani are truly internet-era archaeogists, there are so many pictures that'd be basically lost to the aether without them! You can really tell it's a project of love, and it's much appreciated for sure <3

Always love my fellow Madge lovers...

I like that it is when she is brunette which is specific, of course, and more rare than when she is blonde...but I think it's an interesting study in how hair color changes our perception of ourselves and how other people view us.

Bonus: This is on my reading list...an old ass collection of academic essays on the Madonna effect! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/081331397X/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2QVWT0ESGUXPH&psc=1
