‘Playboy’ Magazine Releases “Madonna: The Lost Nudes” In Their May 2015 Issue: 7 NSFW Photos
Madonna has been quite the polarizing pop star as of late, from the much-discussed chart position and sales of her Rebel Heart LP to her shocking make-out session with Drake at Coachella. The singer is now involved in another potential media fiasco that will also get people talking — but this time around, the decision is not her doing.
For their May 2015 issue, Playboy magazine has released a series titled “Madonna: The Lost Nudes.” They are black + white photos of the entertainer from when she posed as a model back in 1979 for a rumored mere $25, just four years before her debut album dropped. These outtakes are new to the public eye (Playboy bought and published the original photo shoot for their 1985 issue), and show a 20-year-old Madge flaunting her curves in the nude and posing with a cat while fully-clothed. The photos were all taken by photographers Lee Friedlander and Martin H.M. Schreiber (click here to see the NSFW shoot in full).
These newly-surfaced images are collected in a book showcasing Schreiber’s work, titled A Retrospective 1966-2014, which will be available in June. Depending on how you look at it, this can be a great move to boost Madonna’s current career or it can be a slight downfall as she didn’t want anything to do with the 1985 Playboy issue in the first place.
