I have always admired Madonna Ciccone, not because of her sex icon but her work of art. That would include all her famous hits: Beautiful Stranger, Music, Ray of Light, Eva Peron, Evita. You just got to admit that they are good.
That's just her work, there are al ot more behind her passion for her work. Why she does what she do, eventhough it is against the norm.
The book "Sex" is a book filled with pictures of her naked having sex. At the time it was published, it created a stir, a shock in the world of entertainment, religion and politcal groups. I bet your ass it ain't easy for anyone but she did it. She didn't just publish a book that contains nudity, it changed the world of sex forever.
What makes this special is how the society invoked pressure upon women, how women shouldn't have sex casually like men does. And as a women herself, she realised she had the power to change things and so she did.
Here are some of her most popular work (in no particular order or rank, just time):

On a different note, here are random things for myself:
Trance is spelled as Trance
Two rules I can tolerate about my ex-girlfriends new boyfriend:
1) He is someone I can tolerate, not someone I hate.
2) Better than me in many ways, whether in terms of intelligent, character or realibility. Definitely not in terms of wealth or looks.
If any of the above is not obeyed, I'm better off pulling the trigger in my head right this instance.
Influential people are easily likable. First, people like you, then they listen/follow you.
Being capable of changing others, is a good thing if it's a positive change.
