A picture of Madonna (not “The Madonna” you religious perv) recently sold for a whopping $37k and change…of which, Madge pocketed zero and was only originally paid $25.

A nude photograph of pop star Madonna, taken in 1979, has sold for $37,500 (£26,000), at an auction in New York. An unnamed buyer bought the picture, which had been expected to fetch $15,000 (£10,365), said Christie’s.

The explicit black and white picture was taken when Madonna was a dancer struggling to make ends meet. The full-frontal image, and five others taken at the same session, were sold to Playboy in the 1980s.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, you can see what a $38,000 nude celeb pic looks like by visiting Christie’s. But I’m just going to warn you.

Only look if you’ve had lunch & it’s well digested.

I was irritated by Freddie D.’s afro earlier but now his seems well-kept & maintained compared to the one you’ll see if you visit that link. I know it was ’79 but “big hair” shouldn’t include all of your hair.
