funkyethereal asked: Also being an intense Kylie fan, I don't think Madonna ripped her off. Yes, they were similar. . . But Madonna was Cleopatra arriving to Rome, and Kylie was the Greek goddess Aphrodite. I def seem the similarities, though.

Now that you’ve pointed that out I definitely agree with you. I know that my original post didn’t initially come off as being facetious but I was joking a little bit. I mean, normally, I can’t stand it when people are really anal and try to argue about who did what first because it is usually a pointless discussion. I mean, after all, even Picasso said “good artists borrow but great artists steal” and just about everything is a remix! 

I respect both Madonna and Kylie, and I think my original post came more from a place of annoyance because of the lack of presence Kylie has in America.
