On this Day: April 10, 1993 Madonna's Fever" video was filmed by Stephane Sednaoui in Miami.

With Fever, Madonna explored new grounds in her art and, along with French photographer / director Stéphane Sednaoui, delivered us a futuristic ode to sensuality.

Dita was gone, but a new - and equally - mysterious character came into life. Like a deity from a distant galaxy, she appeared in many different forms, from a silver sphinx to a pink-haired seductress, from a Hindu goddess to a flower-woman.

Sednaoui’s special effects - a first in M’s video repertoire, at the time - created the perfect atmosphere to the sizzling aesthetic.

Like everything else from the Erotica period, this was avant-garde at the highest level - and this is why the majority couldn’t get it. Amazingly, this was considered the one of M’s least favourite videos, even by the fans...

I was 15 when I watched it for the first time and was totally blown away. Even today, I watch it with the same sense of wonderment and intrigue. The red-tongue scene is one of the best video openers ever.

What a lovely way to burn…

Madonna Started Filming The "Bedtime Story" Video on December 5 1994.

The inspiration behind the video. Hello everyone! This month’s music video to be analyzed is the for “Bedtime Story”, While this video is tricky for its various sources of inspiration, it’s one of her best, if not the best, and an underrated one by most fans. I am sure that, after reading all of this, you’ll find yourself more in love with the true artist Madonna really is. Madonna called upon “Rain” director Mark Romanek to do the music video for “Bedtime Story” after she saw what he had done with Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer”. As she always does, she listened to the song over and over again, trying to think of a concept for a video. The theme she held on to for this one was dreams, it’s meaning, concepts, imagery and works based on it. She’s a huge fan of surrealistic art, in which lots of paintings deal about dreaming, or allude to something unfathomable in real life. She held to that and brought that concept to Romanek, that really liked the idea and wanted to add ...

Rolling Stone - June 13, 1991 - Flesh and Fantasy - Big Time Girl Talk with Carrie Fisher

Madonna and I had met many times over the years, but we had never actually had a conversation. It took this interview to bring us together – she as icon, I as inquisitor of icon [after all, I have already distinguished myself as friend of icon, relative of icon and ex-wife of icon]. I had never done an interview before, and I don’t know that I will again. For me, this has all the makings of a waterloo. The first of the two sessions for this interview took place in the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Madonna wore gold lame; I probably wore black. The last session took place in the offices of her manager, Freddy DeMann. Madonna wore a negligee; I probably wore black. I was late for that first meeting because a friend who had AIDS and who was staying with me had suddenly developed a fever. I called Madonna to say I was on my way. “You’re late,” she informed me. I explained about my friend. “Well, okay, that’s a good excuse,” she said. By the time of our fina...
