Daily Boom 90's Nostalgia: Madonna - 'Vogue'

"All you need is your own imagination
S20o use it that's what it's for (that's what it's for)
Go inside, for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door (open up the door)

It makes no difference if you're black or white
If you're a boy or a girl
If the music's pumping it will give you new life
You're a superstar, yes, that's what you are, you know it"

Have you ever watched Paris Is Burning?  It's a documentary that focuses on the Drag Ball culture in Harlem in the 80's and even if that's generally your kind of thing, it's definitely worth watching. So much of modern day culture and our phrasology is rooted in those early competitions. Madonna first watched the documentary in the late 80's and eventually introduced it to another type of audience in early 1990, via "Vogue".

Vogueing is the popular dance style that spilled out of the underground NYC clubs and onto MTV in middle America. I mean, I know I was doing it and if you ever found yourself in a club back then you most certainly knew the choreography to the song. Madonna's song ensured that we not only knew what it meant to Vogue, but we also knew how to strike that pose.

The video itself remains one of her best (I think). Shot in stylish black and white, it honors glamorous old Hollywood while paying tribute to the queens that really inspired Madonna. Check out the classic video below.

Currently Booming: Angelina Jolie Admits to Problems in Her Marriage to Brad Pitt

It has been a minute since we have heard anything from Angelina Jolie but that's all about to change. The actress will be seen next month in her film By The Sea, which also stars her husband, Brad Pitt. This project was a real labor of love on Jolie's part as she wrote and also directed it. By The Sea is set in the mid-1970's Paris and follows a dancer and her writer-husband on their travels. The couple is dysfunctional and many have suspected that it might be loosely based on Jolie's own relationship with Pitt. 

The actress is currently covering the November issue of Vogue and inside is an interview that digs a little deeper into the premise of By The Sea and also the state of Jolie's current life. 

Jolie told Vogue in an exclusive interview, "The director was very focused. The actress was unstable. And the writer was deeply confused. This is the only film I’ve done that is completely based on my own crazy mind.” For years, she says, she and Brad called the script for By the Sea “the crazy one. We even called it ‘the worst idea.’  It’s not autobiographical. Brad and I have our issues but if the characters’ were even remotely close to our problems we couldn’t have made the film.”

The fact that Jolie admits to their being any problems at all in her marriage is a bit startling. Celebs like to present the illusion of perfection on all fronts so to hear her admit to issues in her marriage is almost refreshing. Do you believe the characters that she created for By The Sea aren't based on her marriage?
