Madonna Looks Hot and Classy on the Cover of “Harper’s Bazaar” {PHOTOS}

The November issue of Harper’s Bazaar is graced by ‘Material Girl’ Madonna – in this new edition, the superstar gave a chronicle of her 30 years of ruling pop.

Her thought about being daring;

“If I can't be daring in my work or the way I live my life, then I don't really see the point of being on this planet.

That may sound rather extremist, but growing up in a suburb in the Midwest was all I needed to understand that the world was divided into two categories: people who followed the status quo and played it safe, and people who threw convention out the window and danced to the beat of a different drum. I hurled myself into the second category, and soon discovered that being a rebel and not conforming doesn't make you very popular. In fact, it does the opposite. You are viewed as a suspicious character. A troublemaker. Someone dangerous”.
