# Pose Reaches Peak Madonna: Unveiling the Story Behind the Iconic Blond Ambition Tour

In Pose, the series has truly hit its Madonna stride, and there's no going back. Season two has been brimming with nods to the superstar, but it all crescendoed in episode five, “What Would Candy Do?”

Here, Ricky and Damon (played by Ryan Jamaal Swain) are facing relationship woes while vying to be backup dancers for the Blond Ambition tour. Their dance-off might not be helping their love life, but it gives us viewers a peek into the crucial role of backup dancers on this legendary tour.

Over the past decade, critics have accused pop stars like Lady Gaga of copying Madonna. However, Pose reveals that the Material Girl herself did some “borrowing.” It's well-known, especially in Pose's ballroom world, that Madonna mainstreamed voguing by adopting the moves. But this raises the age-old question of appreciation vs. appropriation. Blanca sees voguing's popularization as empowering, while Pray Tell fears the subculture is being exploited.

Looking back at the real Blond Ambition tour, immortalized in Madonna: Truth or Dare (and later in Strike a Pose), we see that while the Jean-Paul Gaultier cone bra is iconic, it was the dancers who made the tour culturally significant. Pose delves into this in this episode. Without the queer men of color on that tour, Blond Ambition wouldn't have been as impactful or subversive. The same goes for her “Vogue” music video, a David Fincher black-and-white masterpiece inspired by the ballroom scene, Isaac Julien's Looking for Langston, and Bob Fosse's work.

Get a glimpse of the Blond Ambition tour nearly 30 years ago, featuring backup dancers Luis Camacho, Oliver Crumes, Salim “Slam” Gauwloos, Jose Gutierez Xtravaganza, Kevin Stea, Gabriel Trupin, and Carlton Wilborn.
