Aww thank you. Yes I’ve been fortunate to have several rare Madonna releases in my collection. I love the Music special edition with a handbook cloth cover and pressed metal detailing. #Music #Madonna

Below ⬇️ is a thoughtful summary of Madonna’s latest album “Confessions II”- her strongest album in many years. 🩷🪩💜

What a lovely memory to have of Music release. I recall going with female friend Pia to have a listen to Madonna’s “Music” in store- Pia & I shared 1/2 of the headset each, & she wouldn’t stop talking so hard to hear the album! 🙄😂 However I took my chances & purchased Music anyway!

Sounds like you had lovely grandparents Josh. It’s a great film- I saw Mrs Doubtfire upon release with friends. PS: We were obsessed with “Jump Around” by House Of Pain- I still love that song!

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie released the year you turned 18?

It’s always enjoyable sitting by the poolside listening to great music on a sunny day! 🌟

Madonna looks gorgeous in this outfit- love the YSL red dress- one of my personal favourite looks of hers in recent times. ❤️❤️ I’m glad Madonna has rediscovered colour in her clothing again. #Madonna

You garden is gorgeous Josh. 🪴 I too did some gardening today as there was some sunshine. ☀️ I was surprised the lavender bush I hacked back a few months ago is now growing & has some blooms. Here are some lavender stems I cut & have inside for its scent.

Josh I’m glad you were able to have the True Blue live experience- it rare in her set lists. I love Debi M too- she’s been in several Madonna promos; “True Blue”, “Danceteria” & attended various Madonna concerts over the years.

I wish Madonna released the super long “A League Of Their Own” end credits version of “This Used To Be My Playground”. TUTBMP is a fabulous ballad- with Madonna looking back. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
