New MADONNA year 2012

After a lot of anguish and lackluster, 2012 is shaping up to be a fantastic distraction from life's events.  So many things to look forward to; new single, Superbowl performance, W/E movie, new record release and finally a new Madonna tour! Aghhh! Can I handle it all?? We shall see.

Tamara de Lempicka

So, I've been going through the most EXTENSIVE archives of Tamara de Lempicka and was struck by the amount of images that resemble some earlier looks of Madonna.  For example;

We have this well-known shot from the Express Yourself video shoot,

the inspiration could very well have been this oil on canvas painting titled Women in Green;

minus the shawl in Madonna's photo, but the similiarity is there.

I've noticed others, and I'll post those later.
