Madonna: Was She Too Sexy?

After having kids and settling down in the country with hubby Guy Ritchie; Madonna is now reconsidering the sexy image that led her to fame and fortune…

At 46 Madge feels that she may have been showing off just a leeetle bit with her provocative performances and the release of her book ‘SEX’ in 1992.

She said to US magazine Ladies' Home Journal: “Sometimes I was being overtly sexy for the sake of showing off when I didn't need to be. I think I hurt myself.

"Ultimately none of us wants to be judged, or approved of, or loved because of the way we look, or how sexy we are.”

"One minute I was saying 'believe in yourself' and the next minute I was saying 'just be sexually provocative'.

"I was letting it pump up my ego, thinking 'aren't I great, they're writing about me, my picture's on the cover of every magazine, I'm so fabulous'.”

Madonna now lives in the UK and just released her fifth children’s book ‘Lotsa De Casha’.

She will be performing at the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park on July 2.
