I always enjoy your Madonna stuff. I remember seeing the video on ToTP - that might have been the first time I heard it. I've always like a 'story in a song' and this is a classic. And she's so beautiful. (My friend has an Italians Do It Better t-shirt, I clearly need to pay more attention to the typeface.)

Thank you! I hope their Italians T is an authentic one!

I'm a few years older than you and I remember very clearly copying her make up look, the pared down not the dancing make up, especially the lipstick (Rimmel Heather Shimmer with half a compact of pressed powder on my mouth) for a night on the town after watching the video on top of the pops. Met my mate outside Tesco to get the bus and the first thing she said was "did you see the Madonna video". I'm not a fan of her hair in this video but it was such a strong look for her.

She looks stunning, doesn’t she? She’s SO young!

I can't help but think that now "the one you warned me about" would have a very different physique.
