The Diamond of my Madonna Collection

I am now presenting the ultimate item of my Madonna collection (so far). This stands out by far from everything else I have, and is something I am extremely lucky to own. A good friend of mine who lives in Israel and works at the Dan Tel Aviv Hotel in Tel Aviv was lucky enough to be assigned Madonna's room when she stayed there for a week during the last stop of her Sticky & Sweet Tour in 2009. The hotel apparently by request from Madonna's management had made a customised bathrobe with the word "Madonna" written in gold on it, as she was to have her regular "M-Dolla" bathrobe dry cleaned at the hotel. So for a whole week Madonna used her new personalised bathrobe instead of her regular M-Dolla one. And when she had left the hotel and my friend Elad came up to clean her suite (where she stayed with Jesus Luz), he found the bathrobe along with a thank-you note laying on her bed. Although the hotel kept and framed her thank-you note, Elad was given permission to keep Madonna's bathrobe.

And just some time ago, he decided to sell it, and I decided to buy it! And I feel so lucky to have this in my collection, as it is a truly beautiful item, which feels luxurious, but above all smells incredibly expensive (it's soaked in Madonna!). I even found a couple of blonde hairs on it!

Here's how I decided to display it in my room:


























And here's a picture montage Elad sent me of him trying on Madonna's own robe while in dry cleaning.
