Madonna defends Kabbalah
International pop-icon Madonna defends her interest in Kabbalah, rejects media descriptions of it as cult. Kabbalh's not hurting anybody, Madonna says

YnetNews, Israel/November 1, 2005

In an interview to the New York Daily News, pop singer and Kabbalah devotee Madonna defended her interest in the teachings of the Kabbalah, and said she was angry people found it to be so disturbing.

"It would be less controversial if I joined the Nazi Party," Madonna said.

Madonna's increasing pursuit of Kabbalah has inspired much hostility toward her, which the singer found hard to explain.

"'What do you mean you study the Torah if you're not Jewish?'" she asked rhetorically.

"'What do you mean you pray to God and wear sexy clothes? We don't understand this.' It frightens people. So they try to denigrate it or trivialize it so that it makes more sense," Madonna said.

"I find it very strange that it's so disturbing to people," she continued. "It's not hurting anybody."

It's Star Jones Before Madonna from Rob.

Totally Bird Flu Madonna...by ME!

It's totally blue bonnet madonna from Tod.

It's Totally Sphinx Madonna. From MTV News, 2004. Madonna may enjoy taking a holiday and some time to celebrate, but it looks like she won't be doing it in Egypt. According to The Straits Times, Egypt has decided to shut its doors to the superstar after her recent visit to Israel. Despite a peace agreement in 1978, political relations between Egypt and Israel are strained and the Egyptian Parliament has issued an order to the government demanding that Madonna be denied entry into the country. Egyptian embassies abroad were also reportedly contacted and told not to allow Madonna a visa.

Totally Truck Stop on Tour Madonna given to us by Tod G. from San Francisco. Looking Foxy!

Madonna through the eyes of a seven-year-old

madonnalicious.com visitor Nihan has sent in this sweet story about one of his school pupils class projects regarding heroes:

I am a teacher in Turkey. Last week I gave some homework to my students and it was a project to tell the class about their hero.
It turned out that seven-year-old Ela's hero was Madonna. She handed in the project and I was so touched (as a Madonna fan of course). I think there must be a Madonna fan in the family (Mother or Father most probably).
When I asked her why she had chosen Madonna, she said she was so beautiful and talented, her songs were great and also her books were so enjoyable and beautiful. Most interesting part of the project is the Superman body with Madonna head. It's hilarious! And Ela has an explanation to it of course: 'She can fly like Superman!'

It's Totally Pierced Boy Toy Madonna. I can see her doing this when she does a tribal remix of hung up.

Does this mesh with kabbalah? I love Winged Devil Madonna.

I don't think Gwen Stefani is stealing Madonna's looks. Do you?

Borderline Madonna 2026

OMG! I love Miss J Alexander.

Brokeback Mountain Madonna.

It's Anna Madonna Smith. I hope Anna gets her money. That little shit stepson of of her's should be shot in the face at point blank range. The U.S. Supreme Court will weight in in this case in January.

Dynasty Madonna.

It's Cuckoo Clock Madonna.

Chowchilla School Bus Kidnapping Madonna.

It's surburban Lesbian Madonna from Tod.

Straining Madonna in Home Office.

One way to prevent the hemorrhoids is to pass bowel movements as soon as possible after the urge occurs.

If you have to sit for long periods of time, at work, always go for a walk or stand when you get a break. Try to be off your seat at least 5 minutes each hour, and shift your buttocks in your chair from side to side often. This will help you avoid constant rectal pressure.

When lifting or straining, exhale, and do not hold your breath.

If showing signs of diarrhea, constipation or coughing get treatment immediately, since hemorrhoids may on the horizon.

Bowel movements should take no longer than three to five minutes, therefore, no long term reading on the toilet. Maintaining good bowel movements and a soft stool are essential for preventing hemorrhoids!

No straining during bowel movements, straining forces hemorrhoids to swell.

This is Tomadonna sent to us by Tod of SF. Yum!

This is Madonna and the Cat Lady.

This is Nation of Islam l Store Vandal Madonna sent to us by Rob of SF.

I'm without access to my Guess Madonna's Next Look folder as I'm in Palm Springs with my partner Dale and dear friend Darrel Smith. We're at CCBC and it is really nasty here. I think I'm going to need a new blog to share some of these other experiences with you but in the meantime, here's a picture of me at the LAX commuter terminal a few weeks ago. Check back after tomorrow for more Madonna's.

OMG! It's Mullet Madonna or Hirsutism Madonna...take your pick. I worked very hard to keep this from becoming yet another mullet site but it's getting really hard.

I love Fudgepacker Madonna. I see her doing this for her Willy Wonka routine.

It's Sister Ivana Lotta Madonna. Ok...the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will love me for this. Maybe they can help me come up with a better name.

Antonio Banderas and Madonna are re-united in Columbia Pictures' epic adventure "The Legend of Zorro".

The year is 1850 and our swashbuckling crusader is challenged by the most dangerous mission of his life.

After fighting to help California become the 31st state of the Union, Zorro (Banderas) must live up to the promise he made his wife Elena (Madonna) - to give up his secret identity and live a normal life as Alejandro de la Vega. When he hesitates, it threatens to tear them apart.

Now, the same forces that conspired to keep California from becoming part of the United States are plotting to unleash a threat that has been 500 years in the making, a threat that could change the course of history forever.

And only Zorro can stop it.

This is Ultrasound Madonna. She's so cute. I see this when she shares with us baby #3. Or maybe she'll do an entire video from within the womb filmed via ultrasound equipment. She's always trying something new so it wouldn't surprise me on bit.

Madonna Quote:
Madonna surprised by ultrasound! Madonna was thrilled to see her baby living and moving in her womb. When she saw her daughter on ultrasound, Madonna said:
"I was stunned when I saw on the ultrasound a tiny, living creature spinning around in my womb. Tap-dancing, I think. Waving its tiny arms around and trying to suck its thumb. I could have sworn I heard it laughing." ("World Magazine" December, 1996)
Madonna said this after seeing her then pre-born child on ultrasound when she visited her OB-GYN. Moments like these are awe-inspiring for mothers and fathers.

It's Easter Island Madonna.

This is Jumping Jack Flash Madonna. The flea, common name for any of the small, wingless insects of the order Siphonaptera. The adults of both sexes eat only blood and are all external parasites of mammals and birds. Fleas have hard bodies flattened from side to side and piercing and sucking mouthparts. Their legs are powerful and adapted for fast movement and jumping, enabling them to find new hosts as well as to escape quickly the attempts of the hosts to remove them. The adults can survive away from a host for several weeks without eating. Flea eggs are usually laid in dirt or in the nest of the host; the larvae feed on organic material and the feces of adult fleas. Metamorphosis is complete; the larvae spin silken cocoons when ready to pupate. Many species are not specific to a particular host species, and cat and dog fleas, as well as the human flea of the warmer parts of Europe and Asia, attack humans. Certain rat fleas transmit typhus and bubonic plague to humans, and another species transmits tularemia from rabbits. Fleas also transmit several species of tapeworms that sometimes infest humans. The chigoe is a flea. Water fleas and beach fleas are crustaceans and not closely related to the insects. Fleas are classified in the phylum Arthropoda, class Insecta, order Siphonaptera.

Divine Madonna. I can see this minus the dog shit. This is our second Madonna involving Divine.

This is beautiful. Freda Madonna. Last year, Kahlo's painting, Self Portrait With Monkey, was loaned to London's Tate Modern museum by Madonna for the travelling exhibition Surrealism: Desire Unbound.

"Loaning my Frida to Tate is like letting go of one of my precious children," Madonna said at the time. "But I know she will be in good hands and the exhibit would not be complete without her." Before the painting was given up, Madonna had it hung in her London home for a few weeks so that she could spend some time with it before the show.

It's Madonnahuahua. I love this...how cute! I love dogs...snif snif. I can see Madonna doing the whole dog thing. She was born in the year of the dog so it all makes sense to me. I know she's done the collar and the leash during her Erotic days so it's just a carry forward of that. This is another great Madonna from Rob of SF. Thanks Rob!

Here is a picture of Monkey Mitch and Madonna. This is at her San Jose show of the Reinvention Tour. I was determined to get the best seats in the house no matter how much I had to pay. I found this woman on Craigslist that won 2 tickets for the dance pit. I bought those tickets from her and my friend Chris and I were in the pit, in the stage, for the entire show. She came over and sang to us and touched all of our hands....it was really fun. When I met this person at the venue to get the tickets, there was this big mix-up so Warner Bros. gave her a second set of pit tickets for the next night. I bought those from her too and went with my partner Dale. It was a most memorable evening. For the third show we had tickets in the 6th row on the floor. Though I paid $600 for these 2 seats, they didn't compare to the two previous nights in the pit. I hope she has a dance pit for her 2006 Disco tour.

It's Auntie Em Madonna. For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!

Madonna of the Dolls.

Cat in the Hat Madonna. I like this one. Who sent it? This is a pefect match of Madonna and The Cat.

Madonna and Baby Monkey Mitch share candy in Central Park.

Keane Eye Madonna with Balerina. This was submiited by Rob (I believe). I would call this Tweeker or Home Spun Madonna. I went to Rich's in San Diego last Friday and heard an excellent remix of Hung-Up. The large crowd went nuts.

Unflattering camel-toe skirt-pants Madonna w/ bejeweled shoes. FANTASTIC!

Cherzilla vs. Divine in Battle for Madonna. This is one of Monkey Mitch's own creations. I love this picture. I can see Madonna doing this when she get's her own summer TV variety show. This took some work. You might want to click and enlarge this one.

This is Million Man March Madonna. I think Gay speakers would be given fair access to the podium at this event. I would like to see a little more diversity though.

This is "Then he touched me there!" Madonna. I can see this as another chapter in her Behind the Music episode. First the inappropriate touching and then the wino Madonna later in her teens. It's all starting to come together. Thanks Rob from SF.

Here is a special treat. This is Baby Monkey Mitch and Madonna. Baby Monkey Mitch is only 8 in this photo...isn't he cute?

It's Bozodonna! Clowns scare me. I have this phobia so I don't know if I would like to come across this while flicking through the cable channels late at night. First of all, notice that I called my fear of clowns a phobia. It's called coulrophobia or clownophobia. This is a real phobia that affects approximately 10 percent to 20 percent of the population - myself included. When they play Send in the Clowns, I go running.

This is a favorite submitted by Rob of SF. This is Precocious Clogger Madonna.

This is "Madonna Doesn't Live Here Anymore" by Paul. I like this one. I can see Madonna doing a sitcom. She did Will & Grace, why not Alice. Kiss my grits.

This is Adult Onset Diabetes Madonna. I like that Madonna looks so happy in this picture. Here, Madonna is clearly in her 50s, enjoying a relaxing Sunday bike ride in Hyde Park without being encumbered by her many bodyguards. As interest in Madonna has waned, she can be seen flowing in and out of her London neighborhood without notice and often without her pack of human attack dogs.

This is Swept Away Madonna. I love this one. It's a lot of fun to study so I'll leave it at that.

This is Wino Madonna given to us by Michael in SF. I see this as a chapter in Madonna's next VH1 Behind the Music special. From club scenester to cultural icon to mother (her most satisfying role yet), Madonna's moves are endlessly fascinating and sometimes tragic. Especially tragic is her most recent transformation into Wino Madonna. She's finally destroyed herself, drunk and bedraggled and curled up on the wretched streets of London. If there is to be any hope for Madonna, we must all try and love Madonna until she can, once again, love herself. WE LOVE YOU!

This is Vitiligo Madonna sent from San Francisco. This is what Michael Jackson might look like if he really had this disease.


Michael Jackson almost certainly suffers from some form of vitiligo, a condition which leads to loss of skin pigment. Indeed, he first met Debbie Rowe — his wife and the mother of his children — when she worked as a dermatology nurse and treated him in the early eighties. What remains unclear is whether Michael, in an effort to make the pallor of his skin uniform, used the bleaching agent Benoquin on the areas of his body not affected by vitiligo. On most sufferers, the effects of the disease look much patchier.

I don't think Madonna will do this look. I just don't think she's going to get her skin as even toned as Michael and she won't copy someone else unless she can improve on it in some way.

This is Moodonna from Mark in San Francisco. I hope Guy isn't lactose intolerant. I can see Moodonna doing Truth or Dare with mini-cones on each utter.

Whatever happend to baby Madonna? I think Joan is digging Jane's new look.

Ok..those last two were from me. Sorry, my scatological humour came forward and I couldn't hold it back. Now for Dancing-Cinn Madonna from Rob. I like this one. The colors are wonderful and the hair and facial expression makes for a perfect match with her up to her neck nutritionally emtpy white flour tutu. Dancing Cinnabon (670 calories/34 g fat) Madonna is perfect for her American Life number. This really epitomizes good eatin’ in America's many mall food courts.

Just to keep with the theme, I wanted to pull this last one out of my bag. I promise to move on to more palatable new looks tomorrow.

This one is really nasty but I have to post it. I'm excited to introduce to you Stool Pigeon Madonna.

Maybe this will generate some comments. These days a stool pigeon is an informer, but when the phrase first appeared—in the US in the 1830s or thereabouts—it meant a person used as a decoy to entice criminals into a trap. I can see using these during her Like a Virgin number. In her wedding dress, she'll release a dozen Stool Pigeon Madonna's into the air to fly out over the audience. It might be a little Gallagher for her fans. Maybe she'll provide large plastic covers for everyone. I'll still go...I don't care about a little poop.

Good Cod this is good. This is Alaskan Fish Cannery Madonna submitted by Rob in SF. You can earn up to $20K in just 3 months doing this kind of work. Thanks Rob from SF, this helps bring to light the issue of overfishing our oceans. An example: Off the coast of New England, cod were once so plentiful that boats had trouble pushing through them. Now the cod are nearly gone, and a centuries-old fishing tradition is ending because of overfishing. Like a Sturgeon was a famous parody of Like a Virgin. Here's the album cover.

WOW...Guess Madonna's New Look on Monkey Mitch had nearly 200 visits last week. I think we're onto something really BIG.

Here's the latest...this one's from me.
Black Death Madonna. In light of the seemingly inevitable bird flu pandemic looming on the horizon, the news media will be happy to know but unlikely to report that Madonna, along wiith Cher, will probably survive. As the media projects fear onto us all, that up to 100 million of us could die from the bird flu, it's comforting to know that Madonna will still be around. It's nice to see her back in the saddle so soon after her fall too. You go girl!

Hyperthyroidism Madonna. These are famous people who really have thyroid disease: Tipper Gore, Gail Devers, Rod Stewart, Kim Alexis, George and Barbara Bush, Joe Piscopo, and others. George and Barbara Bush have thyroid disease? I've read that the symptoms include memory loss. Does it also cause reproductive disorders, like giving birth to stupid ape-like power grasping offspring? Thank Rob from San Francisco.

Bread Theft Madonna. Back in Victorian times, you could be locked away with cold blooded killers for stealing a loaf of bread to feed your starving family. Well, we all know Madonna is not going hungry. Madonna's wealth is estimated at over $700 million.

Tod gives us Koons Madonna. Wow...the whole Koons thing can go on forever. Maybe someone can do a Michael Jackson with Monkey Mitch. Maybe Jeff will do it. Is Jeff Koons dead? Click the image to enlarge and count the face of madonna. I see five.

This one is from Paul is Oakland. This is "Master and Servant" or "I Dream of Madge" submitted by Paul. I don't think Guy is getting this good of treatment; any wish is her command? Maybe Guy would wish for a hit movie. This is kind of Madonna's last movie in reverse. Instead of being swept away, she's washing up on shore...not all washed up I hope.

Dorian Gray Madge
After years of saying it would never happen, I heard Madonna's seriously considering a facelift. Her reps are interviewing potential plastic surgeons in Britain and the U.S., selecting the most experienced. I've read that Two surgeons have visited her London home and she's expected to meet with others in New York. Additionally, she's consulting fertility doctors in hopes of having a third child. Well, if you had the body of a 30 year old...wouldn't you want the face to match? Ok...I'm waiting for multiple births madonna.

Oh...this is good! Hasidic Deputy Madge. I can see Madonna in this look while performing Borderline. Thanks Rob.

This is a good one. Madonna falls off horse. I don't think much explanation is needed for this one.

Here is the Guess Madonna's New Look pick for today. This is "food stamp Madonna." Madonna takes the kids shopping so they can pick out some special treats. Michael likes the fruit rolls and Guy wants the Power Rangers Sugar Puffs. It's tough being a Mom.

From: Tod...he has some good ones.

King/Queen Madonna: From a Diane Arbus photo, Arbus and Madonna both came into their own in NYC and have that distinct NYC flavor, you know Madonna has to be both King & Queen!

Keep them coming Tod.

"Outhouse Madonna"...now that's NASTY. Maybe she can pop out of the toilet like she popped out of the floor of the stage at the beginning of her reinvention tour. We may need a new catagory for this one. She can go right into a back bend and then walk across the stage on her hands and feet with her belly to the roof.

GUESS MADONNA'S NEW LOOK

Contest Entry "Accelerated Aging Disease Madonna"....this could be a winner!

I love the baby thing. I like babies. I wonder if Guy will be doing the changing or maybe Rocko.

The Von Dutch hat is a nice touch.

I can see her doing a remix of Hush Little Baby.

As promised, I've included a "Guess Madonna's New Look" contest entry. This is Augmentation Madonna. She has developed two new parts for her new look. I have hundreds more of these contest entries and will be hosting 1 or 2 each day...please check in for a peek at the possible next look for Madonna. Also, please feel free to submit an entry and I'll post it on this blog. You can send it to sfmitch@gmail.com. The only rule is that she can't have already done the look at anytime in her career. Something new or nothing at all. The winner gets nothing but recognition on this site....that's a good thing.

This is Monkey Mitch. I’m with my nephew Shane in Spokane.

I'm very proud to be uncle to 12 wonderful nieces and nephews.

My blog is back...only now I'm Monkey Mitch from San Francisco. My mate for life the Bingo calls me Monkey so I'll become Monkey Mitch for the Blogs sake. I like when he calls me Monkey. It's better than some of the other things I've been called. Maybe I dance like a monkey or maybe he just likes the way I screech when he tugs on my banana. In any case, Monkey Mitch is alive and well and living in San Francisco. I'm more of a bear than a monkey and there is a place called Monkey-Bear Falls which is located somewhere in Washington. Maybe I'll become Monkey-Bear instead of Monkey Mitch. Sometimes the Bingo will call one of our dogs or cat Monkey and then I get upset and tell him "I'm the Monkey." Little Arty and Tuffy don't mind being called by their real names...save Monkey for me I tell him.

We had a contest at work. I'm a meeting and event planner for a government agency in the State of California. We are very busy but still find some time to work up some contest entries for the "Guess Madonna's New Look" contest. If you have any ideas...please pass them on. I'll be featuring some of our ideas on my blog. I went to Madonna's Reinvention Tour 3 nights while it was in San Jose. Twice with the Bingo and once with my dear friend Chris. 2 nights I was in the dance pit on the stage and both nights I was touched by Madonna. It was exciting as I'm a big fan. Both times she touched the right hand.

My left hand has touched the hull of the Titanic while it was on tour in Seattle. The guards were a challenge to distract but it was done and the touch was made. With both hands I've touched Boy George during the curtain call of Taboo in NYC. Now, how many folks do you know who have touched Madonna twice, touched the Titanic and Boy George? Yea...just what I thought...now one else!

I've seen Taboo 4 times and could have seen it 100 more times. I saw it twice in London, once in Brighton Beach, England and once in NYC. The London shows were the best. I got his autograph on the CD at the London show. Wow...it was fantastic. I could have gone to the closing night of Taboo in London but opted to go to see Chicago with the Bingo and our friend Darrel. What a mistake that was...Chicago was not worth missing Taboo. When I first arrived in London I felt kind of melancholy and out of sorts. I didn't know what I expected from a trip to London but I did think it would be more magical. Well, the minute Taboo started and cast started singing, I was lifted to a place of pure magic. I left that theater feeling like coming to London was the best thing I had ever done. I went back again a few nights later and was just as moved. Being a 80s kid, Taboo really hits home. After the show in NYC, where the Bingo and I got front row center seats, Boy George came out for his curtain call and took both of my hands and bowed. It was really fantastic. Touched by the hand of cool as they say in the song. We were surrounded by folks who had seen 10, 20, 30 or virtually every performance. It was magic again for me. I hope it comes to San Francisco. I think it would be perfect for a June (gay month) run here in the City. If you want to know more about Leigh Bowery and Taboo, visit Leigh's website.

When the Bingo and I saw Taboo at the Theatre Royal, in Brighton, England, they had a Leigh Bowery exhibit. Many of his self designed outfits and accessories were on display. Yes, I touched every piece of Leigh Bowery that I could get my hands on. It was all out on a table in the lobby with a big DO NOT TOUCH - THANK YOU sign but I couldn't help it. So, I've touch Madonna, Boy George, the Titanic and Leigh Bowery's self designed garments. The Taboo music is very good and all written by Boy George. The NYC Show received 3 Tony nods, Best Actor, Best Costume and Best Original Score. I think it won for Best Costume. Well, day 1 of blogging is complete. I'll now go back to work on my real job stuff. I'm off to the Embarcadero YMCA and then to our home in the Sunset district near Golden Gate Park. Until tomorrow. - MM
