When I was ten years old I was so in love with Madonna that I cried in my bed wishing she was my mother
Everything begins with Madonna. The author is remembering her first time seeing the world's superstar in the movie The Next Best Thing (2000), when she was only ten years old. She was mesmerized by her. Madonna has opened a new world of idols to her. With this work she is exploring her relationship with some of her idols that had shaped her and are still inspiring her in her practice today and is placing them in the context of her relationship with Madonna - the first, most innocent and most important one of them all.
