Sort of like how all the girls in Hebrew school always wanted to be Queen Esther for Purim each year (foreshadowing the princesses they would later become- ed.), Madonna has now taken on that name- Esther- for herself. What a journey- she’s gone, in barely a decade, from making out with a black Jesus and developing Stigmata wounds to embracing wannabe Judaism.
So just for fun, let’s re-cast the Purim story, only with Madonna friends/lovers in each role. Here we go:
Queen Esther: Madonna
Mordecai: Guy Ritchie
Vashti: Sandra Bernhard
King Achashverosh: Warren Beatty
Haman: Sean Penn
Haman (understudy): Dennis Rodman
For more check out this blog; since the author is both a longtime Madonna fan and has been an Esther since birth, I’d imagine she’s more of an expert on the subject than I’ll ever be.
