Madonna: 30th anniversary - It has been a long journey

On July 27 1983 the world changed forever, at least for me. Madonna was releasing her first album. It's been three decades since then and I still love her as the first time I heard about her. To be honest I was just a little kid in 1983 so actually I started loving her a little later but now I could say she is most important for me than probably the 85% of my relatives and without any doubt she is the woman with whom I have had the most lasting and successful relationship of my life (all good comedy is a little sad).

On the 30th anniversary of Madonna (the first album), my 30 favorites looks of one of my favorites women in the Earth.
