Metal Nº 37 | Metal Magazine

June 1990. Interview's cover was once again the subject of much talk. The offense? A cover girl grabbing her crotch. Herb Ritts captured Madonna at the top of her provocation. Despite men being able to do it all the time and get away with murder, a woman seen doing this erotic act is immediately perceived as insulting, immoral, vulgar. But, as always, Madonna defied all social conventions in a rebel and elegant way through the lens of Ritts.
