Madonna told V Magazine…
I would always say, ā€˜Dad, I’m an artist, I have to express myself. You don’t understand.
I think he’s finally come to terms with it. It’s only taken 30 years.
He’s like, ā€˜Do you have to simulate masturbation on the bed? Do you have to?’ Yes, Dad, I do.
Katy Perry about the shoot…
I was sore in my upper body and in my butt area from all that squatting.
Madonna added…
It’s good to be sore in your butt. My neck is sore from that wonderful moment when I was sucking on your heel.
I really enjoyed working with you on the photo shoot.
People always expect when two divas get together that there might be weird vibes or a strange competitiveness, but this was nice and easy and fun.
To which Katy Perry replied…
If you ever come to the show, there’s a little wink to you. I’m paying my dues!

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to  the Cut  about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become clichĆ© to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy  publishes nude photos of  Madonna  taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star,  Playboy  publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner  Vanessa Williams , which their rival  Penthouse  published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
