In 1990, seven young male dancers - 6 gay, 1 straight - joined Madonna on her most controversial tour: The Blond Ambition World Tour in support of her fourth studio album, Like a Prayer. Both on stage through 57 lavish shows and in the iconic film Madonna: Truth or Dare, the seven talented dancers - Luis Camacho, Oliver Crumes, Salim Gauwloos, Jose Gutierez, Kevin Stea and Carlton Wilborn -- showed the world how to express yourself. 25 years following Blond Ambition, STRIKE A POSE, from directors Ester Gould and Reijer Zwaan, reveals the truth about life during and after the tour, when the seven men were ambassadors to the world on behalf of the LGBTQ community during the height of the AIDS epidemic.

Madonna's Blond Ambition & Girlie Show Tour Dancer, Carlton Wilborn, steps Behind The Rope. One of the Iconic Seven chosen by Madonna herself to be part of the Record Breaking Blond Ambition Tour and subsequent Game Changer Film (the Real World and “Reality TV” did not exist!), Truth or Dare. After a brief foray into Carlton's early career in dance, where he attended classes with Michelle Obama, we get right into how he was hired as one of Madonna's Seven Blond Ambition Tour Dancers - the audition process, the answering machine message from M, the wild night out with Madonna, and the ultimate tour offer. In true Madonna fashion, she was the first, not only in the “reality” format but the first to show gay men with full actualized lives on screen. Carlton reflects about the 1980s and 1990s Madonna of yesteryear, what the country was like at the time with the initial onset of AIDS, and how he was able to perform night after night living with his own secret of being HIV positive. He also discussed what it was like to be on a tour that the Pope tried to ban, that was one of the highest grossing tours at that point to date, and which Rolling Stone lists as one of the 50 greatest of all time. Carlton details all the late night talks with Madonna, the after parties, and her advice. He talks about the constant parade of Celebrities backstage coming to pay respects and bow to Queen M. Carlton describes how he heard from Madonna years later when it was time to go back out on the road for The Girlie Show Tour. Carlton discusses the differences in himself, the production, the choreography, the music, and last, but certainly not least, in Madonna from The Blond Ambition Tour in 1990 to The Girlie Show Tour in 1993. Carlton discusses his relationship with Madonna after the end of that tour and how in 2016 Hollywood came a knocking, this time in the form of the phenomenal documentary Strike A Pose about the lives of the 7 male dancers who joined Queen M on her Blond Ambition Tour. Carlton opens up about his other accomplishments, acting, author, current life coach and what he would say to Madonna if she walked into the room today!@carltonwilbornrising@behindvelvetrope@davidyontefBONUS EPISODES at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetropeBrought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”)Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code “Velvet Rope")MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Madonna's Blond Ambition & Girlie Show Tour Dancer, Carlton Wilborn, steps Behind The Rope. One of the Iconic Seven chosen by Madonna herself to be part of the Record Breaking Blond Ambition Tour and subsequent Game Changer, Ahead of Its Time Film, Truth or Dare staring the Queen of the World, Madonna. After a brief foray into Carlton's Chicago born childhood and early career in dance, where he attended classes with Former First Lady Michelle Obama, we get right into how he was hired as one of Madonna's Seven Dancers to Tour the World with her on her Blond Ambition Tour. Carlton spares no detail in the audition process, the answering machine message from M herself, the wild night out with Madonna to prove if he could hang and the ultimate tour offer. Carlton describes at what point he realized the Blond Ambition Tour was also being made into one of the first musical documentaries of its kind, at a time when The Real World was not even on TV yet and the words “Reality TV” were not in anyones vocabulary. In true Madonna fashion, she was the first. A pioneer if you will, not only in the “reality” format but one of the first to show gay men being, well, human beings with full actualized lives on screen. Carlton reflects about the 1980s and 1990s Madonna of yesteryear, what the country was like at the time with the initial onset of AIDS, a word the President said was only for “other people”, how he was able to perform night after night living with his own secret of being HIV positive - a secret he was not yet willing to share. He also discussed what it was like to be on a tour that the Pope tried to ban for being too controversial, that was one of the highest grossing tours at that point to date, and which Rolling Stone lists as one of the 50 greatest tours of the last 50 years. Carlton describes how accessible Madonna was and how she really treated her dancers off camera and it is not at all what one would think. He details all the late night talks with Madonna, the after parties, her advice, her vision for both the Blond Ambition Tour as well as Truth or Dare. He talks about the constant parade of Celebrities backstage coming to pay respects and bow to Queen M. Carlton talks about what life was like when The Blond Ambition Tour ended and his feelings when three of The Blond Ambition Tour Dancers, his colleagues, sued Madonna, her production company Boy Toy Inc., Miramax and Propaganda Films for “invasion of privacy, fraud and deceit, and misrepresentation claiming they did know parts of their lives were being filmed. We also discuss whether he understands the full cultural impact the film has had on society being a “reality” film before anyone knew the words “Reality TV” (yes, Truth or Dare was prior to even MTV's The Real World) and was one of the first films to show the full actualized life's of gay men as humans and not just sex objects. Switching gears, Carlton describes how he heard from Madonna years later when it was time to go back out on the road for The Girlie Show Tour. Carlton discusses the differences in himself, the production, the choreography, the music, the other dancers and last, but certainly not least, in Madonna from The Blond Ambition Tour in 1990 to The Girlie Show Tour in 1993. Carlton discusses his relationship with Madonna after the end of that tour and how in 2016 Hollywood came a knocking, this time in the form of the phenomenal documentary Strike A Pose about the lives of the 7, 6 living and one sadly deceased, male dancers who joined Queen M n her controversial Blond Ambition Tour. Carlton opens up about his other accomplishments, acting, author and current life coach. Finally, he answers the questions how do you want to be remembered and what would you say to Madonna if she walking into the room today!@carltonwilbornrising@behindvelvetrope@davidyontefBONUS EPISODES at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetropeBrought to you by BOLL & BRANCH - https://www.bollandbranch.com (15% Off First Set of Sheets - Use Code “Velvet”)Brought to you by BETTER HELP - https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code “Velvet Rope")MERCH AVAILABLE at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Carlton talks about being a part of the subsequent Girlie Show tour and keeping his HIV a secret while Kevin recalls the lawsuit he was involved in over compensation--or lack of compensation--for "Truth or Dare" and the sticky backstage prank that was played on him during the final show.
