Madonna - Vogue - MTV Awards 1990


Music Appreciation

I was 14 years old and loved my MTV. This was when I, like many other teenagers back then, spent my summer vacation watching music videos on MTV.

For me, 1990 was a great year for music, fashion and sexuality, and who more so appropriate to push the envelope into the next decade but the beautiful Madonna.

I remember watching the MTV Music Awards that Thursday evening and being intrigued by the beauty and sexuality of Madonna as a Marie Antoinette and her female and male dancers.
