Our glorious leader



The very gorgeous Madonna is 49 years old! And still so flexible...

So what on earth is there left to say about the mighty Madge that hasn't been said before? The grand mistress of re-invention, Madonna has masterminded more changes of image and musical direction in her twenty-odd years at the top of the charts than anyone other than perhaps David Bowie!

Everything Madge touches seems to turn to gold in the end (apart from her acting career maybe). From the street-savvy Noo Yawker of the early 80s Starlight and Holiday era through the all-consuming dance classics of Get Into the Groove and every gay boy's fave Vogue, to her notorious fetishist Erotica days and a climb back to the mainstream with Evita, a Bond theme, an Oscar-winning husband - and an undeniable awareness that she is indeed "Our Glorious Leader" on the gay scene - I think everyone of our era must admit that at some crucial stage in their life there is at least one Madonna song that was playing. And thus she knocks all of the competition into a cocked hat...

Madonna, we salute you!!
