Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

"Passion for Fashion" & "I watch it, so should you!" - Madonna at the Premier of her MDNA Concert Film

"All hail the queen!", "There is only one queen, and that is Madonna!" or so else could be the mantra of Madonnas latest project: her MDNA concert film. It had its premier on the 18th of June in New York city. The project will first be released on Epix, and the promoting has already begun! So Madge lovers: Get ready for a big concert event!

Madonna attended the premier in a Dolce and Gabbana tuxedo with a matching elegant hat and one sparkly glittery glove. She completely pulled off the world famous and gender bending Marlene Dietrich look. She finished the whole look with a very pale foundation on her face, blood red lips and cracking a little smile, just like her fashion icon Marlene. It seems that the aging, but still fabulous pop diva, might not be the only queen anymore, but still pulls of high quality work and outfits. 

And that is not all: if you compare Madonna and Marlene they have more in common than the M in their names.. way more. Just like Marlene, also Madonna is in a terrible fear of aging. Dietrich did not even leave the house without masking herself. But, as you may have noticed: Madonna does not just sit there and waits for the wrinkly end of the story, no. That would not be MDNA style! She, allegedly,  has gotten herself some botox. And I say: Honey you did right! No single fuck to give t the haters.

But definitely Madonna looked stunning at the MDNA premier, which will be, for me, the concert thing of 2013, unless some other artist will be releasing some stuff, but even then to beat the MDNA concert film will be amazing, just as her look. What is so special about this look is, like i already sad, its gender bending. Even though the effect and the way how to do it is well known and kind of already done, it still gets me, since it is so extremely classical and history proven. 

So make sure to check out the trailer and watch the concert when its broadcasted

Music Minute. Concert Edition - P!nk Tour Merchandise

Who has not yet read my post about how awesome the "Truth About Love Tour" by P!nk was should do so right now! Here is the link! In tis post i will give you a very small glimpse on the tour book I have bought at the arena. 


And my ticket looks a bit used =)




So the tour book of P!k is basically a letter of hers to her fans, amazing photographs behind the scenes photographies and on stage pictures of P!nk.  Also the tour book includes a little comic called. The Truth About Love.






Music Minute: Concert Edition - P!nk presents "The Truth About Love Tour"

Its in the middle of the show when a fan throws a package of cheese balls on stage. P!nk picks it up and opens the package. Would you think that a pop star that figure eats cheese balls? No! But she does! And she declares that for cheese balls "I would strip naked, and sing jazz tunes!" 




In preparation two friends of mine needed to drive to Leipzig,and since we came from different cities we had quite a logistic thing, but finally we met in front of the arena. Excited for a great show we quickly went for a bite at Subway and then hit the line at the arena entrance. At ca. 18.00 they slowly let the people in, but there were so many already that we did not make it to the very front, but we were like in the first 3rd of the arena, and had a quite nice look at the stage. Also there were huge monitors, so that we could see everything in detail. The pre act was called Churchill, a indie rock, alternative band which my friend Nena liked and I, due to my bad mood reasoned in the bad bad air, just wanted to leave. They were okay in my opinion, but i am not a fan of the genre in general.




The whole thing started very innocently by the monitors announcing:



The Tour is called like P!nk latest hit album "Truth About Love"  and right from the beginning a very funny host explains that this tour will be exactly about this topic. 



But in a way that only P!nk can do it: with acrobatics, rock tunes and spectacular costumes and dancers. When the curtain in front of the stage finally drops there is no holding back for the approximately 14.000 fans in the arena. Leave it to P!nk to motivate so much people who have stood in a terribly warm arena with only a little fresh air to go crazy the minute her show starts. The spectacle opens up with the barn burner song "Raise Your Glass", acrobatics in the air and even a little fireworks in the back.
