Today’s prompt word for Inktober is “star.” For this drawing I decided to draw the same real-life person that I drew for Inktober last year.
She is a transgender person known as Madonna Girl Dale (although she also has been known as Kesha Girl Dale and Britney Girl Dale) who is such a big Madonna fan that she frequently dresses up like Madonna and prances down Maryland Route 2 between Baltimore, Brooklyn Park, and Glen Burnie. I’ve previously written at length about this person, which you can read in last year’s Inktober post. For this year’s Inktober drawing I drew her next to a poster featuring the circa 1984-1985 Madonna, which was around the time that she scored her first big hit with “Lucky Star” (which also nicely dovetails with today’s Inktober prompt word).
Recently she posed for some photos (link is NSFW) for an upcoming issue of DicE magazine which, based on what I saw on that magazine’s Instagram account, is primarily a motorcycle magazine with models posing sexy next to a motorbike. Not bad for someone who has spent so much of her life dancing to Madonna music along Maryland Route 2. If you want to learn more about Madonna Girl Dale, I suggest checking these links:
