My 'Sticky and Sweet' tour: part 2

I bet you were riveted dear readers! Chomping at the bit for part 2 were you?

Well here we are. When we left off Madonna had performed 'Hollywood'.

The guitar from the video interlude is still going strong and we pick out a familiar riff. From the top of a tall staircase that has somehow appeared on the stage appears Madonna in ripped dark denim jean shorts, fishnets, heels and a white wife beater. Her hair is out and messy and she launches into early hit 'Gambler'.
She descends the staircase reminiscent to 'Express Yourself' from the 'Blond Ambition Tour' and rocks out with a troop of dances at the bottom.
This song mixes into a heavily guitar remixed version of 'Causing a Commotion'. On the screens are images of some of Madonna's early nude photo's mixed in with the sex book (all naughty bits covered of course).
There are sparks and smoke going off around her as she dances furiously down to the mid point of the catwalk.

At this point she collapses on the floor. I microphone emerges from the floor and Madge is handed a guitar. She grabs a stool and talks to the audience about heartache and love. She sits on the chair and begins a version of 'Borderline' that starts out lovely and acoustic before getting angrier and thrashier. At the end of the last chorus she screams out a big "F*ck You!!" to a cheering audience.

The Audience starts dancing again, this time to the beat of 'She's Not Me'. Madonna is joined by a male dancer and they dance together (Almost like 'The Waltz of eva and Che' from 'Evita' but sexier). She pushes him away and he goes off via moving platform as female dancers appear from different points of the stage and catwalk. The next song "Thief of Hearts' is remixed with a simpler and harder urban sound. Madonna is thrown boxing gloves and puts them on (still holding onto the mic) and takes on her apponents one by one in a make shift ring.
At the end, the woman are strewn about the floor and there Madonna stands triumphant in victory. She disappears into the floor and once again the stage goes dark.

Part 3 to come......

Not bad for a woman, but I've seen female gorillas do wilder stuff that.
