Dita was gone, but a new - and equally - mysterious character came into life. Like a deity from a distant galaxy, she appeared in many different forms, from a silver sphinx to a pink-haired seductress, from a Hindu goddess to a flower-woman.
Sednaoui�s special effects - a first in M�s video repertoire, at the time - created the perfect atmosphere to the sizzling aesthetic.
Like everything else from the Erotica period, this was avant-garde at the highest level - and this is why the majority couldn�t get it. Amazingly, this was considered the one of M�s least favourite videos, even by the fans...
I was 15 when I watched it for the first time and was totally blown away. Even today, I watch it with the same sense of wonderment and intrigue. The red-tongue scene is one of the best video openers ever.
What a lovely way to burn�
