It’s time to celebrate!

Well, for those who thought that I had given up, I’m really sorry to say that I’m back. Actually I had already showed a little bit of what could be the season 2 with the teaser of “Oh Father”. However, this video is taking to long to be done and I need to take some rest before to continue it. It’s time to celebrate.

Here I am celebrating one year of campaign, on Easter Holiday. Last year I started my adventure, my journey, starting in a roller coaster in the Netherlands, flying to Portugal, invading Brazil, England, Austria, Finland and Switzerland so far to meet her ;)

One year ago, I put in practise a dream. First I wanted to meet Madonna and the campaign made me believe that I will meet her. After those months with 32 videos uploaded, I think she is aware of this moviment. I asked support of Guy oseary, Kylie Minogue,Brahim, Rocco, William Orbit, Martin Solveig, Ingrid Casares and, of course, all fans.

To meet this girl is not easy, definitely. But I don’t want an Easy Ride…and she knows that every video that I make is with love.

Madonna, it’s time for the good times. Forget about the bad times watching my videos and decide to meet me! Take some time to celebrate the life with me.

I keep on hold.

Just one day out of life…it would be so nice!

It’s not my time to go!

After 9 months, my campaign is going to an end – at least with videos (this is not true – updated on February 2nd). I’ve already made 30 videos to meet her. Now, it’s up to you,Madonna, to get convinced and to meet me.

Madonna, I gave my blood, my soul and my time to this campaign. More than 8,100 people on Facebook want this meeting! The sweepstakes will continue until finish my memorabilia…The sacrifice is part of this campaign as hope plays an important rule on it.

In regards to this video, I hate revolvers, guns and any type of arms. I bought this revolver toy in a toy store in Amsterdam and everyday looking at it was giving me a bad sensation. Arms are the most ridiculous invention of the man. It’s the disgrace!  If you pay attention, I started the video with the end…the end of the life, the beginning of a journey…or just a lot of MDNA.

This video was a hard work of the last 6 months and finished it today, after 13 hours flying from Amsterdam to Rio. I was walking with crutches because I really twisted my ankle during my last MDNA concert in Europe (on August 18th, in Zurich). I jumped more than I should during the rehearsal of Turn Up the Radio. For who thought that I should stop my campaign being labeled as disabled, I just got stronger to have more and more ideas for this video.

The crutches were perfect to be my real arm! This video, as the original Die Another Video, is full of messages…plus I added Beautiful Killer with some research about Alain Deloin movies. It was hard to recreate Paris in Amsterdam :)

I’d like to thank my Czech friend Jiří Kala who was one of my jailers; to Ewe Kubizňáková,Cidcley Miranda, Daniele Salomão and Hugo Gonçalves for the professional camera work; to my Britney Spears, my work colleague Larisa Jaskevic; to the city of Amstelveen (NL) and for all my friends and work colleagues who helped me in those 30 videos made in the last 9 months.

Madonna, haven’t we met? You could be good for me… I’m waiting for your call baby, night and day.

I never felt so good about myself


My campaign is about hope! I’ve learned that once we are alive we should follow our dreams and be fighters. Now, I’ve decided to make a totally different video that is already changing my life. I never made something so personal, full of emotions. Every song, every scene, every word has a sense.

Everybody is afraid of cancer. I’ve lost one of my best friends because he died of cancer. He was and he’ll always be light! His last words for me were: “Fábio, whatever you’ll be, think about me and I’ll be with you”. You taught me to be a fighter Leandro. You are example, inspiration. Thanks for being part of my heart.

Talking about cancer, I’ve chosen to make this video to talk about breast cancer in a different way. Like a Virgin should be the most appropriated song of Madonna to use for it, of course: “touching” and in the end, “shiny and new” – the hope that we should always have.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. It is also the principle cause of death from cancer among women globally.

Despite the high incidence rates, in Western countries, 89% of women diagnosed with breast cancer are still alive 5 years after their diagnosis, which is due to detection and treatment.

The World Health Organisation [WHO] has suggested that two components of early detection have been shown to improve
cancer mortality:

- Education: to help people recognize early signs of cancer and seek prompt medical attention for symptoms.

- Screening programs: to identify early cancer or pre-cancer before signs are recognizable including mammography for breast cancer.In the UK and US effective education and screening could save between 12 to 37 lives per day.

Thanks to my boss Damien, and to my coach Helen, for shaving my head and making my tattoo.

Extra-Special thanks to Manu Ribeiro and Diego Giuliarini for inspiring me to make this video.

You deserve to live shiny and new!

How to Meet Madonna

Each year about 1.2 million people die on the world’s roads. From this total,  20% of traffic deaths are caused by drunk driving. It means that 240.000 people die because of irresponsibility of drunk drivers. This is more than the deaths with Tsunamis or any recent natural disaster,  and who is causing it is a human being.

In the United States the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that 17, 941 people died in 2006 in alcohol-related collisions,  representing 40% of total traffic deaths in the US. NHTSA states 275, 000 were injured in alcohol-related accidents in 2003 (see more here).

If I won’t meet Madonna,  at least I have showed the people how bad it can be to drink and to drive. I won’t be hypocrite talking about Alcohol and its effects,  although I don’t drink it at all – my friends are proof of that (twice per year, I can drink it, but I don’t like it :P ).

But once again,  if you are going to drink,  think about who you love or think about your life. If you don’t care about your life,  care about other people’s life’s.

In the end, this paradise is not for me…

I’m giving away everything

My campaign is about to finish…until meet her. In the meantime, I’m still giving away my CDs, DVDs, memorabilia that I was assembling in the last years… Am I getting crazy? I must say in 100% that not, maybe addicted. This renouncing is part of the campaign – it’s my sacrifice to meet her and also to make people meet, in some way, Madonna as well.

I made a nice partnership with the biggest Brazilian Fan Club, Estilo Madonna, that is going to change its name to MadonnaGo. We have made a promotion in which the fans who like the page of my campaign and their page on Facebook can be able to participate of a sweepstake of a a wrist watch that I got as gift with my Early Entry ticket to MDNA in London :( To participate, you should be resident in Brazil.


If you don’t live in Brazil, don’t worry. I gave to the administrator of Madonna’s Tattoos Group on Facebook, Adi Bar, 5 Singles/CDs  from my collection to be given away to inked fans. Ask to join the community and wait for her posts!

And if you are not an inked fan, don’t worry as well. I’m still making sweepstakes on my Facebook Page, giving away my beloved CDs/DVDs.

Last week, I’ve spent a lot of money with Post-Office sending CDs and DVDs around the world. See who has won/gotten my memorabilia:

Szabrina has gotten a MDNA bag and Hard Candy Towel!

Szabrina Sebok from Hungary has gotten my MDNA Bag plus a Hard Candy Towel! This girl was one of the first ones to give me support :) I gave those items without sweepstake because she deserves it :)

Also from Hungary, Rebeka Müller won a sweepstake made through my Facebook page and has gotten my beloved Something to Remember CD :( Look what she wrote me:

I think what you have done is amazing. You give us inspiration. I really wish you that your dream come true because you work a lot for it and you deserve it. Your videos are amazing, full of spirit and you show us to never give up hope. Thank you“. Rebeka has also sent me a pic of her gift.

Rebeka is from Budapest and won my Something to Remember CD

Justin M.Walker-Daniels lives in Missouri, United States and has gotten my Die Another Day Maxi-Single. He made a nice Confessions montage of our pictures and sent it to me.

Justin got my Die Another Day Maxi-Single

During the European leg of MDNA Tour, I’ve met a special guy from Czech Republic who will be part of my Die Another Day/Beautiful Killer Video: Jiří Kala. As “payment”, I asked him which CD he didn’t have it yet. He answered me American Life…So I still had it and sent it to him. Look what he wrote me when got his gift:

My dear Fabio.. just got your package from AMSTERDAM with the DVD´s and omg.. I really cannot believe that from Switzerland… 2 months… you remember what CD I don´t have.. you´re just an amazing guy.. with my mother we saw many of your videos and I have to say hallo “to that beautiful young guy”! :) lovely greetings from the Czech republic!!!You´re the light Fabio… my fingers are crossed for your dream… I´ve intuition.. your plan will be successful!

Jiří is my friend from Czech Republic who will be part of my Die Another Day Video. He got American Life CD.

Melinda Bonnevier from Sweden has won a sweepstake of a MDNA Bag with a Maxi-Single of Music and a DVD. Her words motivate me to go on with my campaign:

Melinda from Sweden got a MDNA package!

You managed to put the first smile on my face today (She said after watching my version for Dear Jessie). Thanks! After winning my sweepstake she wrote me: ‘If you work really hard then your dreams come true’, Madonna said. I’ve never seen anyone put so much work into reaching his goal to meet Madonna as Fabio does, and I’ve been a devoted Madonna fan for almost 30 years. His videos has made me laugh and cry, they are full of love, spirituality and hope. I’m really impressed that he’s found such a creative way to spread his message to everyone who’s watching them. Nothing fails. No more fears. And Fabio you will meet Madonna. I think you two have a lot in common. Love and hugs/ Melinda, Sweden”

Finally, back to United States, Kenny Free has won my Love Profusion Maxi- Single and has sent me really nice words of support:

Kenny from United States has won my Love Profusion Maxi-Single

“‘Dreams come true’ was the underlying theme for Madonna’s Virgin Tour and well, basically, her entire career. She has continually strived for the success of realizing her own dreams. She has worked harder and pushed farther than any other artists out there. If that’s not inspiring to you, then you would have to examine your own ambition.

Cut to the present where I, a 30yr fan of this woman, am attaining my dream of seeing her live. I’ve wanted nothing more than to see her in the flesh. It is now a “dream come true” as I will be seeing her MDNA World Tour in a matter of days. I am beyond excited!

I have also met many friends along this fanatic journey as well. They too share similar dreams of seeing her live. It’d be safe to assume my friend, Fabio Viana’s dreams were ‘one in a million’ as we all love Madonna and want nothing more than for her to utter our own names aloud as if she knew us personally. Fabio’s dreams are different though. As much as I admire Madonna’s stand-out persona and unparalleled ambition, I can also respect that all of the creative wisdom she contains is contagious. My friend, Fabio, has attained these attributes. Throughout all of Fabio’s videos, one statement stands clear, “I will meet Madonna”. Not that he ‘wishes’, ‘hopes’, or even ‘prays’ but that he ‘will’. Creating a website is a huge undertaking but to develop it further by amassing friends and like-minded individuals to support his dreams and then to push that even farther by incorporating his own creativity into re-making Madonna videos with his own literal translation is well, that is a page directly from Madonna’s memoir on how to get what you want in life.

I’d like to commend Fabio Viana on his website, all of his videos, but most of all, for his unwavering ambition and determination to meet our idol, Madonna. I truly believe he “will” meet Madonna. I’d also like to thank him for the Love Profusion contest to which I was a winner! I am grateful. All of us have the power, “dreams come true”, but they only work if you do! “Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it”. Thank you Fabio Viana, you are a FRIEND of mine and I wish you nothing but the absolute best in the world and you WILL meet Madonna!”

And the Beat Goes On…

It hurts so much to be in love with a Masterpiece

Masterpiece has a special meaning for me that I won’t share hehehe But I think that this song has a special meaning for all of us, Madonna’s fans!

I must admit that I was shaking and feared that I could be arrested when I was recording this video in one of the most important museums from Brazil: Masp – São Paulo Museum of Art (www.masp.art.br). Every time people were controlling me, saying “NO”. In a certain point, I came to a guard and said: “Listen, I am making a video to meet Madonna, don’t forbid me please!”. He did…but I didn’t give up.

The nice surprise was that in the day that I went to museum, it was happening an exposition about Madonna! Well, but it was the mother of Christ! But I felt so lucky and it was a really beautiful exposition :) Even Holy Mary is blessing my campaign :)

Cause after all, nothing’s indestructible…
