"Island hopping"

I remember reading how she used Steve Neumann to get into the magazine.

I read the article you linked to, read it the other day. Excellent stuff! :good:

You'll notice I got her rip-off correct - a few years ago, when I was putting together the Anti-M's rip-off photo gallery, I posted that specific photo of Madonna next to Garbo's, showing how she most likely was ripping off Garbo.

I think some other actress from the '40s posed in that way too. Can't recall who off the top of my head.

From the article:
  • .... A friend and former co-worker of mine, Matthew Licht, used to be a contributing editor (not credited in the masthead) for Island, writing art reviews.

    .... When I told him [Matthew Licht] of its [Island magazine with Madonna on its cover] legendary status (not to mention its pricetag), he was incredulous as to why anyone would care. "I never thought it would be good enough for anything except wiping your ass with...,

    Madonna came into the picture, literally, thanks in part to a relationship with the publisher, Steve Neumann.

    "She wasn't around at the editorial office, which I seem to remember was Steve's apartment, much. I remembered her from Ann Arbor (Michigan), where I went to college for a year. She used to hang out at this soda fountain where all the cool punk kids hung out," he (barely) remembers. "Maybe she was a waitress there. You noticed Madonna ’cuz of the bod and the name. She didn't seem too pleased that I remembered her from there."

    ... Madonna was neither compelling nor repelling to Matthew. "Aside from the looks and the old memories, she didn't make much of an impression—or not on me. I was surprised to hear she wanted to be some kind of singer."

    This bonding afforded Matthew the opportunity (he might argue whether this is the right word) to see an early performance by a legend-in-the-making. "We all went to her first big show at The Underground," he recalls.

    "The sound was sh*t. Madonna wore a costume made of feathers. I think she made it herself. Actually, I'm pretty sure she did. She whipped her arms around energetically."

    The energy was wasted on Island's art critic, who both knew a lot about art and a lot about what he liked. "I didn't even stay till the end of the show—that's how awful it was. I remember thinking, 'Poor Madonna. She worked really hard, but she can't do anything.' She really, really sucked. Shows how much pop sense I've got."
