I can’t believe it was 27 years ago today that Madonna’s video for Like A Prayer was released by Sire Records. I can still smell the patchouli infused glued wrapper. In addition to Like A Prayer, I would become obsessed with Express Yourself, Cherish and the unreleased, Act of Contrition.

I’m toying with making this a weekly post. Let me know your thoughts.
I want to dedicate this and future posts, featuring vintage gay photos, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price.

About Hawthorn and Child: Hawthorn and his partner, Child, are called to the scene of a mysterious shooting in North London. The only witness is unreliable, the clues are scarce, and the victim, a young man who lives nearby, swears he was shot by a ghost car. While Hawthorn battles with fatigue and strange dreams, the crime and the narrative slip from his grasp and the stories of other Londoners take over.
If you’d like to read the book I’d like to encourage you to consider purchasing it from one of Boston’s independent booksellers.
Each Wednesday morning I post a photograph and ask readers to offer a funny caption. Hopefully the caption below inspires you to share a few of your own.
