Madonna the New Face of Versace

Tuesday January 11, 2005
You can call her Madonna. You can call her her Kabbalah-preferred name of Esther. And now you can call her the face of Versace.

Madonna will star in a spring-summer 2005 advertising campaign for her friend Donatella Versace. The Web site, A Socialite's Life, says it has a picture of a new Versace print ad featuring Madonna.

No word yet on the terms of the deal. Previously, Madonna was reportedly asking a hefty $12 million to help Versace launch her spring line.

I recently watched a video clip of one of Madonna’s concerts. Unfortuantely, she was ranting about Sarah Palin. I always considered Madonna to be a remarkable example for young women in America. Needless to say as a 44 year old woman with 5 daughters, I was quite disapointed in her abrasive, embarrasing, and quite radical opinion of Mrs. Palin. Unlike Mrs. Palin Madonna lacks grace and class. I will no longer purchase Versace products. Your backing of such a dishonorable individual is regretable. I feel that the Versace empire lacks good judgement as well as Madonna.
