video voyeur- madonna's bedtime stories

since i haven't given you a video voyeur fix in a few weeks, i decided on a double feature today to make up for lost time.  the artist is the mega icon madonna ciccone.  both of these videos are during a softer, curvier and calmer point in her life.  she ran back and forth between the classy and durrty looks.  besides the classic eighties hits, this bedtime stories album had some of my absolute favorite madonna songs.  here are two cuts i especially enjoyed: 'secret' and 'take a bow.'  and talk about some beautiful visuals!!!  clear and breathtaking, madonna videos could do no wrong whether it be black and white or color. 
bullfighting in spain, veils, red lips, forbidden passion...you know all of these elements are right up my alley ('take a bow').  and as for 'secret', voluptuous curves, nose rings, retro hood shots, fur coats and platinum blonde coifs and seedy lounges...whats not to love?!  keep in mind, this is around the time rumors of a pregnant madonna began to swarm.  is she or isn't she?  she wasn't but classic madonna couldn't help but feed the flames (hence the end of the video).  anyhow, both videos were madge at her finest.  if i had to choose one more video from that era and album, it would be 'human nature' where madonna donned a dominatrix suit and cornrows and proceeded to break out of the boxes society kept trying to put her in.  ahhh!  the good ol' days...................................besos jenna pearle*

ps.  did you notice the artwork in the passionista power collage up top?
