we're Obsessed!

Madonna likes her performances to have meaning. And there was enough content to fill a thesis during her halftime performance at Sunday's Super Bowl. The first part was my favorite—the homage to Elizabeth Taylor's iconic film Cleopatra. Her Madjesty even included a spectacular pair of Bulgari 19.6-carat diamond and white gold earrings with her Givenchy costume. Bulgari, of course, being the Roman jewelry store where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton first celebrated their love in gems while making the 1963 movie. "Bulgari is the only Italian Elizabeth knows," Burton teased at the time. Clearly, Madonna speaks the same language.
