  • Madonna: Like a Crone
    ROCK ON: WOMEN, AGEING AND POPULAR MUSIC MADONNA: LIKE A CRONE Reaching fifty in 2008 was a watershed year not just for Madonna, but also for her millions of fans. She is a vital figure for women across generations: through her performances she has popularised feminist politics and debate, and promoted a message of sexual empowerment. Much of her career has hinged on this concept of self-liberation and sexual expressiveness. As a young star she was powerfully seductive - one of the first female performers in the pop mainstream to capitalise on video as a marketing tool, and to make that nexus between sex, pop and commerce so explicit. She also challenged notions of the male/female gaze with her book Sex, and videos like 'Justify My Love'. Much of her allure was centred around her visual image, and her ability to combine an inclusive sexuality with compelling costume changes and personae. Female stars in her wake, from Britney Spears to Lady Gaga, have been clearly influenced by her ideas on performance and sexuality However, becoming a mature woman and a mother has presented her with a dilemma. She is fiercely competitive and it is a matter of personal pride to 'stay on top' in the singles market. But in having to compete with younger women, she is subject to the same pressures to look young, slim and beautiful. As a result, she has to continually sculpt and resculpt her body through rigorous workouts and diet regimes. The sculpted body first emerged when she shed the voluptuous 'Toy Boy' look of her early career for her 'Open Your Heart' video.

  • Press Pack July 2010
    Press Pack July 2010 Lets Go Crazy Ltd. 78 Portland Road, Holland Park, W11 4LQ The Independent, 26th December 2009 Talent 2010: The entrepreneur, Callum Negus-Fancey Callum Negus-Fancey dropped out of school in the middle of his A-Levels. Formal education, he explains, was just a little two-dimensional. Rather than continuing his studies in economics, philosophy and politics, the head- strong 17-year-old decided to pursue his burgeoning career as an underage party promoter, putting on late- night music events for 14-16 year olds. “I’d put on a few parties while at school,” Callum explains, “and soon realised there was a demand for proper dance music nights for teenagers with big artist line-ups in big venues, with an emphasis on good music.” To this effect, Callum launched his own company Let’s Go Crazy, with an all-star event on July 2008, at London’s infamous SE1 club. Callum had no marketing budget for his party. Instead, having convinced some big name DJs to play at his event, the teenager set about promoting the club-night through social networking sites such as Facebook, and by word- of-mouth, enlisting students at a number of schools in the capital to sell tickets on commission basis. Within a week, all 3,000 tickets had been shifted. Since then, Callum has put on around 15 events at clubs and festivals around the country. He has continued to expand the Let’s Go Crazy brand with an online magazine, a discount loyalty card for night-club regulars, plans for a one-off fashion event, after GCSE travel packages, and secured gigs at Bestival, Camp Bestival next summer, and its own festival in Hyde Park, for 10,000 guests.
