Day 11: Love Hurts

Today is Cher in the magnificent Bob Mackie gown she wore 20 years after wearing it for the Celebration at Caesar's Palace show in 1980. Cher came back with an updated version for the Colosseum show to perform "Love Hurts" and "The Way of Love" as well.

Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Or strong enough
Take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
And it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, (ooooo), love hurts

You're young, I know
Baby, but so
I know a thing or two
Ooo honey, I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot
I've really learned a lot
Love is like a stove
It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, (ooooo), love hurts

Some fools rave, of happiness
Of blissfulness, togetherness
Oh, some fools,
They fool themselves, I guess
They're not fooling me
And I know it isn't true
God, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie and it's
Made to make you blue
Love hurts, (ooooo) love hurts
(Ooooo), love hurts

And I know it isn't true
Oh, I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie and it's
Made to make you blue
Cause love hurts
Early in the morning you hurt,
Love hurts, (ooooo), love hurts
(Ooooo), love hurts

New art: "Love and Understanding"

Today's new artwork is from the music video of "Love and Understanding", a song penned by the great Diane Warren. Can you guess in what years? The ripped jeans give it away pretty easily so if you guessed somewhere in the 90s, congrats! More precisely in 1991 from the album Love Hurts, which was certainly a great success for Cher as it also contains 3 more fan-favorite hits that inspired artworks for the Cher Playing Cards project: "Save Up All Your Tears", "Love Hurts" and "The Shoop Shoop Song".

Love Hurts

This artwork was done a short while ago but had yet to be unveiled. Here it is! Cher in the magnificent blue gown with sequined floral design... Over 20 years after wearing it for the Celebration at Caesar's Palace show in 1980, Cher came back with an updated version for the Colosseum show to perform "Love Hurts" and "The Way of Love" as well. It was also used for the Vanity Fair photoshoot in 2010 during the promotion of the movie Burlesque. This is one magnificent Bob Mackie creation that will surely be included in the card deck!

...One day left for the "cowboy" outfit poll, fellow fans! Anxious to see the results? It ends this evening and another poll will follow very shortly. Stay tuned!
