Today In Madonna History 
Madonna looks absolutely beautiful in that photograph! Next stop-Live to Tell-her first reinvention!
Madonna looked great, but the movie had serious issues. I think it would’ve worked better as a comedy (though that didn’t help Who’s That Girl). I wish she had starred in Blind Date with Bruce Willis.
Went the the cinema to see this and could barely make it through to the end. In fact I believe we checked out a bit early. My first of very few Madonna bummers.
