Madonna and Tony Ward backstage at a Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show in Paris on October 19, 1990.
@rcsechild said: *watching madonna’s movie in 1990 and the naked scene comes up when erin’s walking through the door*
juggling a bunch of shopping bags and a box of donuts in her arms, erin attempts to slip her key into the lock on the door of her condominium without dropping anything. it proves to be a difficult task, taking her way longer than it probably should. she blames her sudden clumsiness on both the hot, muggy weather outside and the fact that she is growing a little human, and it does drain her energy, making her more sluggish. however, when she finally does manage to twist open the door and step into the brightly lit foyer, a warm smile blooms on her lips almost immediately. happiness filling her sky-blue eyes as she forgets about all her worries and discomfort, and calls out, ❝ honey, i’m home! ❞ she doubts she’ll ever get tired of saying these words. her stomach fills with butterflies and her heart skips a beat every time she comes home to her husband. her husband. it sounds so beautiful. ❝ i got you something. did you feed the dogs? ❞ she uses her shoulder to shut the door behind her and powers forward with all the bags still somehow intact, making it up the short hall to the small kitchen on the right. she doesn’t like asking for help and tries to enjoy her independence while she still can. she carefully sets the groceries down on the counter and is about to start putting them away when a strange sound coming from the living room captures her attention. was that a moan she just heard?!
❝ axl? ❞ she mutters, utterly confused as she looks up and just stares at the redhead over the breakfast bar for a moment, trying to figure out what’s going on. ❝ what is that? what are you watching? ❞ “ just listening to the moans and disgusting language coming from the couple on the tv has her feeling nauseous, but as her innocent eyes continue to involuntarily linger on the screen and she figures why the blonde looks so familiar, who she reminds her of, that’s when erin begins to think she’s died and went straight to hell. ❝ did they put madonna’s face on her?! ❞ she squeaks, beyond mortified, her voice even more high-pitched than usual. she doesn’t understand why anyone would watch a movie like this or why there’s people out there willing to do such things on camera. ❝ jesus christ, i think i’m gonna throw up. what’s wrong with you, axl? i was gone for less than an hour and you just had to put this — this — this shit on? and what is madonna’s lookalike doing there? you disgusting pig. you get jealous when i listen to bon jovi, but this is okay?! how?! in what world is this okay?! ❞ there’s just no way this is the real madonna. it can’t be. not thinking much, she grabs one of the chocolate donuts and slings it at the redhead, aiming for his head. ❝ you know what? ❞ forgetting about the groceries, she circles around the corner and walks up to the other. her blood boiling. every time she begins to think this marriage can work, they can be happy together, he just has to ruin it. ❝ you should have married a pornstar, one that wouldn’t get off your dick ‘cause clearly, no matter what i do, i’m never enough for you. and a madonna lookalike? you’re so sick in the head, i can’t even look at you. ❞ and with that, she turns on her heel and unceremoniously marches to their bedroom, wishing she could be covering her ears from the horrible sounds and packing her things up at the same time. she has no idea where she’ll go, but she’ll figure something out. as long as she doesn’t have to stay under the same roof with this disgusting man, she’ll be okay.
St. Bartholomäus, Königssee, Bayern, 1990.
Separate apartment for every family. USSR, 1990.
from /r/vexillology Top comment: This depicts Lithuania being the first to leave the USSR in 1990. All states left in 1991 following the dissolution. Note the Gorbachev-era flags which some are now their current independent flags.
