  Madonna stripped of her clothes. Welcome to Mark and Pete.
• 0:09
  Even global superstar different series doesn't come with a
• 0:13
  decent lock. Yes, we are Mark and Pete 2
• 0:16
  blokes with half an opinion. Now here's our first thought.
• 0:21
  When a pop star completes their shows but somebody then steals
• 0:26
  their clothes, it might be difficult to strike a pose from
• 0:30
  head to their twinkle toes. Yes, well, Madonna, she's
• 0:34
  probably feeling a little bit chilly at the moment for a
• 0:37
  number of reasons. Why?
• 0:39
  Well, quite simply, her entire outfit has been stolen.
• 0:44
  All of her vintage costume pieces went missing following a
• 0:47
  recent festival. Now, Mr. Pete, we are fans of
• 0:51
  Madonna. We like her music.
• 0:53
  We even like her stage shows. But what's also iconic about
• 0:57
  Madonna is some of the outfits that she's worn through her
• 1:00
  history and and career. Now, I will say the very idea of
• 1:05
  somebody stealing a garment probably doesn't seem that
• 1:08
  really, you know, important. But for somebody like Madonna,
• 1:11
  it's rather iconic. I ask you, I notice that your
• 1:16
  wardrobe is a little bit more bulging than usual.
• 1:19
  What's? What's what's your interest?
• 1:23
  Yes, it is interesting. Wardrobe saga.
• 1:27
  Yes, they the costumes that you will have, some have become
• 1:31
  iconic. The the pointed bra of course
• 1:35
  being the most noticeable and eye-catching in many senses of
• 1:38
  the word. They, I'm not so sure that her
• 1:41
  look inspired, but maybe for a short period her look inspired
• 1:48
  young girls to take up a look, but it's more that they were
• 1:52
  striking like iconic pieces of of, of art.
• 1:57
  I guess her costumes, as as you mentioned, we are big fans on
• 2:01
  this show, but it's interesting how they they did become part of
• 2:07
  the zeitgeist, part of the culture, the costumes worn by
• 2:11
  Madonna. It is sad just as a passing
• 2:13
  moment that she doesn't seem to have moved on from that early
• 2:17
  period in her life. She could have aged gracefully,
• 2:20
  but. I.
• 2:22
  I'm just saying I don't think that's what she's doing.
• 2:24
  That's at least not in a public persona and storing.
• 2:28
  I mean the Bible says famous quote from the Bible was Matthew
• 2:31
  6 verse 19 which says do not store up for yourselves
• 2:34
  treasures on earth where moths and vermin destroy and where
• 2:39
  thieves break in and steal. Almost describing this moment,
• 2:43
  holding on to her past and yet it was stolen from her.
• 2:47
  You can't you you got to move on.
• 2:49
  It was it's OK that that those are important parts of the
• 2:54
  culture, but she and we need to move on from the 80s.
• 2:59
  Well, that's maybe true, but let's be honest, Madonna is a
• 3:03
  very successful pop artist and also actress as well.
• 3:07
  I mean, she has also appeared in many, many great films in recent
• 3:11
  times or certainly over the years.
• 3:14
  I mean, I have a slight difference of opinion in terms
• 3:17
  of her persona. I think she's matured a little
• 3:19
  bit more. I don't think that she looks
• 3:21
  like, you know, a mature individual trying to be a
• 3:24
  teenager. I think I think she's sort of
• 3:26
  managing that well. But what I do think coming back
• 3:28
  to the the the problem. Which is.
• 3:32
  Well, indeed. And that is this is that she
• 3:35
  said in a recent interview, the these clothes that costumes that
• 3:39
  were stolen, these aren't just clothes, they are part of my
• 3:42
  history, as she was saying, and that's perfectly reasonable.
• 3:45
  She is hoping and praying that someone a kind soul, as she was
• 3:50
  saying, and not the kind soul that was stolen.
• 3:52
  But anyway could find these items and and get them back to
• 3:55
  her team. And I think that, you know, when
• 3:57
  you, when you see these outfits, the outfits are particularly
• 4:00
  special to the singer because she wore them the same boots,
• 4:04
  corset and jacket during her Coachella performance 20 years
• 4:08
  ago. Now again, the, the, the point
• 4:10
  here around this is that when you've got something that is so
• 4:14
  synonymous with you, it, it, it's, it is it is really
• 4:20
  intrinsic to your whole performance as a sonar.
• 4:23
  Yeah. And I do think they they are,
• 4:26
  they are important. I wasn't trying to be
• 4:29
  discouraged about that. I think they're part of part of
• 4:31
  culture. It would be fascinating, just as
• 4:33
  it's fascinating see the actual armour worn by Henry the eighth.
• 4:38
  I don't know why my mind went to him, but by historical figure
• 4:41
  you watch a almost the. Opposite analogy, isn't it Henry
• 4:46
  the Eighth of Madonna? I never really saw them in the
• 4:48
  same line, but. They've never been seen in the
• 4:51
  same room Marks. That's true.
• 4:53
  What that is? Well, yeah, I just thought of a
• 4:56
  a figure whose clothing was on show that's saying people
• 4:59
  thought, Oh yes, you know, he was stock each other.
• 5:01
  But quite sure that's what your opinion ends up being when you
• 5:05
  see that. And it's just fascinating seeing
• 5:07
  this. And I think going into the
• 5:08
  future people will still want to see those costumes.
• 5:12
  Sadly, at the moment they can't imagine if Henry the Eighth's
• 5:15
  armour had been stolen. Well yes, him going naked into
• 5:19
  battle does sort of conjure an image.
• 5:22
  But it's. Scary into battle is another
• 5:24
  one. But the other thing as well, I
• 5:27
  know that there has been a few costume faux pas, shall we say,
• 5:31
  as you mentioned with Madonna a couple of years ago when she
• 5:36
  fell off the stage because she got in town gold with one of her
• 5:39
  drapes was one that springs to mind.
• 5:42
  But the the fact is, is that she she relies on, you know, shock
• 5:48
  value. And I think that, you know, I
• 5:50
  don't think that's going to go away with her stage performances
• 5:52
  and any of her music for that matter.
• 5:55
  But coming back to the the lost items, I was sort of wondering
• 5:58
  what on earth would you do with them?
• 6:00
  I mean, you, it's not going to be easy to sell them on eBay, is
• 6:03
  it? I mean or no, I or what else is
• 6:06
  your? Intention.
• 6:08
  No. I'm pretty sure that they were
• 6:12
  targeted for a collector. I think that it's surprising as
• 6:17
  not as a collector myself, of anything really, I know, but
• 6:22
  peoples have such a fascination with a collection.
• 6:24
  They just want to be the one who's got that piece in the
• 6:28
  collection. I'm pretty sure that that must
• 6:32
  be the case, because why else would you do it?
• 6:35
  Well, indeed. Well, look, listeners, do you
• 6:38
  have some insights what's going on here?
• 6:40
  And hopefully we can get back to the real Material Girl.
