Meanwhile, an actual nude photo of Madonna, taken in 1979 by American photog Lee Friedlander, will be up for auction at Christie’s next month. The picture is expected to fetch between $10,000 and $15,000, even though you can find copies of Sex for as low as $49.99 on eBay. I guess having Vanilla Ice involved results in a serious downgrade of resale value? [Christie's, TOTALLY NSFW; HT Balk]

    I guess I could have stopped at “TOTALLY NSFW.”

    Or you got to Ebay and buy a tattered, stained copy of the Penthouse issue that photo appeared in.

    @Cam/ron: “Or you can go to…” Damnit, can I go home now? It’s Friday.

    With the glut of Madonna-based porn, moreso in the last few years of google images, you could def. get the same effect by printing that same picture out on some nice high-stock glossies and save yourself the $9,900.

    Idea for post-auction follow up article title: “SNATCH-ed”

    here in Italy, I walked by a copy of a book of these very same nudes, on display in a store window this morning. I think it was a comic book store.
