Madonna & Katy Perry by Steven Klein for V Magazine Summer 2014 issue

US magazine gives us a first look at the cover of V Magazine shot by Steven Klein, featuring Madonna and Katy Perry.

   

Madonna told V Magazine…

I would always say, ‘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, ‘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!
