Paradise model kit box image. This art was a header card done for a Paradise release of Tadao Inoue (Inoue Arts) garage kit, and Inoue was bonkers for blonde American singers. So, Madonna, naturally was included in this art. Art also features Mr Tako as well as King Kong and Godzilla.

On May 16 1984, Madonna performed Like A Virgin at Keith Haring’s birthday party held at the Paradise Garage in New York, 5 months before the release of the single. "As New York’s achingly hip art set gathered at legendary nightclub the Paradise Garage on 16 May 1984 to celebrate artist Keith Haring’s first Party Of Life, the girl who had once dominated the dancefloor with her exuberant moves to Larry Levan’s iconic DJ sets, took to the stage for a special guest appearance in front of the vibrant crowd of which she had once been a part. Having spent three months holed up in the city’s Power Station studios, Madonna saw the Party Of Life as the perfect platform to premiere two brand new tracks from her recently wrapped second album. Although she was excited to air her new material for the very first time, the hipster audience remained largely indifferent as she performed Like A Virgin from a bed adorned with white lace wearing the "bones" of the Like A Virgin dress before changing into a customised Haring jacket and skirt for Dress You Up. Only pop culture prophet Andy Warhol had the foresight to recognise the earth-shattering potential of these new songs. “The crowd didn’t really take to Madonna,” recalls artist Kenny Scharf. “But Andy loved her – he told everyone that she was going to be the biggest thing ever.” - Classic Pop Magazine.❤
