Pues… Para inaugurar este blog sobre HOUSE DANCE, WAACKING y VOGUEING… Qué mejor que colgar este mítico videoclip de Madonna, VOGUE!
Y sí, uno de los bailarines que aparece al fondo es el inimitable… WILLI NINJA! Pero como este hombre es la leche, no adelantaremos nada aquí y le dedicaremos un post sólo a él.
Adjunto un poco de info sobre del vídeo, muy interesante, para entender un poco más sobre de qué va la canción.
Ale, buen finde!
«The video was directed by David Fincher (Seven, El club de la lucha, Zodiac, The Game…)and shot at The Burbank Studios in Burbank, California on February 9-10, 1990. In 1993, Rolling Stone magazine listed the video as the twenty-eighth best music video of all-time. It was also ranked at number five on «The Top 100 Videos That Broke The Rules», issued by MTV on the channel’s 25th anniversary in August 2006.[2] It was the third time Fincher and Madonna collaborated on a video (the first being 1989’s «Express Yourself» and the second being 1989’s «Oh Father»).
Filmed in black-and-white, the video recalls the look of 1930s Hollywood films with the use of artwork by the Art Deco artist Tamara de Lempicka and an Art Deco set design. Many of the scenes are recreations of photographs taken by noted photographer Horst P. Horst, including his famous «Mainbocher Corset». Some of the close-up poses recreate noted portraits of such stars as Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake and Marlene Dietrich. (Additionally, several stars of this era were name-checked in the song’s lyrics.). There was some controversy surrounding the video due to a scene in which Madonna’s breasts (though not her nipples) could be seen through her sheer blouse, as seen in the above picture. MTV wanted to remove this scene, but Madonna refused, and the video aired with the shot intact. The video was edited in Australia for daytime screenings, with the sheer blouse images replaced with slow motion shots of other parts of the video. The video features the dancers and back-up vocalists for Madonna’s then-upcoming Blond Ambition Tour. The choreography was set by «Punk Ballerina» Karole Armitage. The video world-premiered on MTV on March 29, 1990. There are two versions of the video, the regularly aired television music video, and an extended version over three minutes longer.»
