When thinking of Madonna it's doubtful the word "mainstream" comes to mind. Yet, there she was on the cover of the April 2000 issue of Good Housekeeping that hit newsstands today.
Who knows the reason behind her decision - it's not as if she were following in Linda Ronstadt's or Rod Stewart's footsteps and doing a CD of standards that needed to be promoted to Middle America. (Her dance-oriented CD Music came out later in the year). However, for Good Housekeeping it was a great way to reach a younger generation of reader, sending the message that "we're not your mother's Good Housekeeping".
At the time Madonna had a 3-year old daughter, Lourdes, and was pregnant with British film director Guy Ritchie's child - a boy named Rocco, born on Aug 11 (five days before Madonna's birthday). She married Ritchie at the end of the year. (She's adopted 2 other children since then and divorced Ritchie.)
Despite this cover, it didn't mean Madge had put her provocative ways behind her as 3 years later she caused a stir at the MTV Music Video Awards by French kissing Britney Spears on stage. No word on whether her "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" was revoked. <comments />
