Black Madonna

1. A cocktail consisting of Pepsi-Cola and gin, similar to a Rum and Coke. 2. A famous icon venerated in the Catholic Church of Central Europe, purported to be the first icon, allegedly painted by St. Luke the Evangelist on the worktable of St. Joseph from life, depicting the Virgin Mary, albeit with a dark complexion. 3. The lesser-known and scandalous working title of an album by American recording artist Madonna, referencing, in entendre, the icon mentioned above, and herself, featuring preliminary artwork photographed by Steven Klein that featured the singer in full blackface in a pose of benediction mimicking that of the said icon. Subsequently scrapped as a title, the album became known as Hard Candy, released in 2008. 4. An unusually attractive woman of African descent, often American, buxom, mysterious, and generous, of whom little is known, but always arrives at just the right time to save the day. A very reliable, ineffable, black woman or woman with a dark complexion.
