6:20AM Molly Friedman | If we saw our mother spreading her legs on billboards and in the window displays of old-fashioned CD stores, we’d probably either disown her, change our names or move to Mars. Unless, of course, she was Madonna. Then we might just have to put the poster up in our rooms. Madge is
turning 50 this year, and she’s not letting that stop her from putting out her single most explicit album cover to date. Even
Erotica’s open lips and
Confessions On A Dance Floor’s spread eagle from behind don’t compare with the artwork for
Hard Candy, which features
the B12 shot lover posing as an S&M-inspired boxer (of sorts) waiting to “kick your ass” (just as Madonna promised the album would do). But just because Madonna’s putting it all out there now doesn’t mean her more suggestive covers weren’t ten times sexier.
