Preview madonnas perfume, out 5/12
"She always smelled like gardenias and tuberose, an intoxicating mixture [that was] feminine and mysterious. I wanted to re-create this scent, but with something fresh and new about it as well. Something honest and yet daring — hence the name Truth or Dare."....
There is thus nothing devious or far-fetched about the new Madonna perfume in case you were expecting something a bit outrageous. In fact, a gourmand undertone said to suggest "darkness" makes sure everyone stay in their comfort zone even when invoking deeper atmospheres. Obviously, Madonna wants to please her fans, not stroke them the wrong way.
The white floral perfume was created with perfumer Stephen Nielsen of Givaudan. The scent has opening notes of gardenia, creamy tuberose and dewy neroli; a heart of carnal jasmine, benzoin tears and white lily petals, and a drydown of vanilla absolute, caramelized amber as well as a sensual musk aura.
The flacon makes references to typical Madonna-persona Catholic symbols. There is an ascetic-looking Christian cross. The flacon does not look unlike a coffin. It would work great as a memento mori of sorts. The bottle is unusually flat, like a hybrid form inspired by a pocket book, a smart phone and a flask, all suggesting portability. There is also an ancient feel about it, with its choice of milky white opaline, beaded rims, and a crown-like top.
"Eaux de parfum in two sizes — 50 ml. for $55 and 75 ml. for $68 — will be sold in the U.S. A 30-ml. edp will be sold internationally. The line also includes a body lotion, $28, and shower gel, $25."
Truth or Dare eau de parfum will debut at Macy's on March 26, 2012. The international roll-out is planned for May 2012.

Madonna is Launching a Fashion Label for Grown Ups! What Can We Expect?
Well, we guess this was inevitable. Following on from the success of Material Girl, Madonna is launching her second lifestyle brand, Truth or Dare by Madonna. According to WWD, the label is aimed at an older customer (women aged 27 to 50) in comparison to the Taylor Momsen types that her tween range with Lourdes targets. Yay for us!Over the past several years, I have been approached countless times to create my own brand,' Madonna says. 'The timing is right and I have found great partners in Iconix, who can help translate my vision to reality.' Yep, not content with being a pop sensation AND a movie director, Her Madgesty is proving her business savvy yet again by creating a line for grown ups. Smart move, missy. So has she caught the designing bug from her pals Dolce & Gabbana after posing as a foxy Sicilian housewife in their recent campaigns, we wonder? Perhaps the boys will be lending a helping hand in conjuring up lace-tastic black gowns and womanly corsets? You'll remember when the trio collaborated on a limited edition range of sunglasses, called MDG Sunglasses, proving that they're a match made in fashion heaven. Or MAYBE Madge was spurred on after seeing her fellow musician Kanye West showing his debut collection at Paris Fashion Week, not to mention Victoria Beckham's gob-smacking successwith her line...
But we digress. Back to the facts, so far we know that Madonna will be the face of the brand (obvs) and Truth or Dare will 'truly capture her essence'. Which means? It 'will be designed to showcase the duality of her image, a power icon intertwined with feminine beauty', according to WWD. A women's fragrance will be released next year followed by footwear, handbags and intimates — then who knows what's the next stop on the Madonna adventure!
Unsurprisingly, this has sent Grazia Daily into an excited flurry as we predict what sartorial treats the line will bring. It goes without saying that we're expecting to see our favourite Madonna motifs — think crucifixes, fishnets and sharp suits as opposed to sporty tracksuits and baseball caps. Thanks to her latest reinvention as a vintage queen since directing 'W.E', we're crossing our fingers for retro gowns and elegant sexiness. And — question of all questions — will there be a cone-shaped bra?! Aided by clues from Madonna's recent outfits, let's gather together our fash-pectations…

Celebrity Sighting: Liz Rosenberg, Harvey Weinstein
Celebrity Sighting: Liz Rosenberg, Harvey Weinstein
The film W.E. begins in a flurry of shocking images, it sort of sets the
tone for a fast paced film. We see the beginning of Wallis Simpson's (played incredibly by Andrea Riseborough) early life with her first husband. We find out that she has had a very difficult time finding a man who would truly love her. You root for Wallis and are mesmerized by the acting , you really think that the story is unfolding between your eyes at one point. The story of Wally
however is not as strongly defined, we are meant to believe many things thats are not too convincing, (she was named after wallis (makes it abit confusing) she is obsessed with wallis, and is writing an article on wallis) but regardless of these minor flaws the film takes you on a grand journey and your are both swept up by the riches of the jewelry, the clothes and the storied romance between the future king of England, Edward, and his soon to be wife Wallis Simpson, or so it seems, because the English would have nothing of it. Back then, to marry a divorcee was frowned upon, let alone a woman that is still married to her second husband.
The film is based on a true story and throughout the film, the
fictional character of Wally, played splendidly by Abbie Cornish, spends her time trying to defend wallis (
they were not nazi sympathizers!) , It's as if Wally is really Madonna, that's how I saw it anyway.
There's a scene where Wally wants desperately to have a baby with her husband but he wants nothing of it, you could almost imagine, is this the story of Madonnas relationship with Guy? Oscar Isaac's character, Evgeni, is the most entertaining of all the cast.
Madonna fans will see many instances of her, in the work. The styling in certain scenes
are a nod to different eras and images in madonnas own career, (oh
father, this used to be my playground) references to Madonnas passed transformations. During some press interviews, Madonna has admitted that there are many similarities between her and the leading ladies characters in the film.
Madonna is inspired by so much and she soaks it all in, and wants you,
the audience, to be just as captured and mesmerized by her vision. She
wants to share with you what her definition of love is (defining love vs. romance) and for a man
to give up his kingdom for a woman is something that she would and believes
all woman would like for themselves. It's a fairytale but for one
woman, it did ultimately come true, despite all odds.
And despite the reviews you've read, the film is definitely worth seeing.
The scenes with music are my favorite, the dance sequences are well
placed and there are some great bits of comedy placed at different
points to lighten the load. The styling, colors, are flawless.
Madonnas first big budget directing debut gets two enthusiastic thumbs
up, from me, for w.e.
I look forward to seeing what story madonna will tackle on in her next
film, it will surely be worth the wait.

How madonna became british
Madonna, from the Detroit area, became an Anglophile at some point in the late 1980s. By the time she met second husband Guy Ritchie, who was British, she was already sounding like one of his countrymen. How did it happen? Superstar producer Nile Rodgers, who made the "Like a Virgin" album with the burgeoning pop starlet in 1983, has an explanation. Madonna may have picked it up from his then live in girlfriend,Nancy Stoddart, who'd been reared on the Philadelphia Main Line, educated at Sarah Lawrence, then spent time in Rome and Paris among titled royalty.
"Madonna' s nose for advancement had picked up the scent of Nancy's blue blood," Rodgers writes in his impossible to put down memoir, "Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco, and Destiny." Rodgers–whose stunning list of hits include those by his own group Chic, plus David Bowie, Diana Ross, Mick Jagger, and Duran Duran–earlier recalls Madonna as obsessed with fame. He writes: "I'd never met anyone–ever–who worked so hard to become famous."
When he worked with Madonna shaping her key second album, "Like a Virgin"–which also contained her other signature hit, "Material Girl"–Rodgers says Stoddart's traits rubbed off on Madonna in a big way. Madonna became "schooled" by Stoddart, Rodgers recalls, preferring her friend's uptown Victorian digs to her own bohemian downtown loft.
Rodgers writes: [Madonna] was an apt pupil all right, but she must have missed a couple of Nancy's classes on life at the top. At her '85 bridal shower [for the Sean Penn wedding] she received all sorts of presents from her downtown friends as well as Nancy's uptown friends. A pair of berry spoons from James Robinson's antiques shop awoke the Detroit girl in her.
"'Berry spoons! What the fuck are berry spoons?' shouted Madonna. I bet she knows now."
Rodgers' book is such a much read about so many people. But Madonna as Eliza Doolittle sticks out. Don't worry–he's very complimentary about her work ethic. But he also reports that Madonna never really knew her own singing voice– and insisting on singing those hits in an "unpleasant" key for her. This does explain why later Madonna sounds so different from early Top 40 Madonna.
"Le Freak" is fascinating. I've known Nile for 25 years, yet never really understood his background, the life in drugs, his rise to fame, an early friendship with Oprah Winfrey before she really became famous, and his extremely thoughtful take on race. There's a lot more, but you've got to read it to believe it. Here is the genuine, authentic and moving story of a success that nearly didn't happen. Bravo!
