Hot town

Dear Brianna,

Remember when we were riding the subway that time last week, and you reached into your purse for a book or something and instead dropped your underpants on the subway floor? HAHA! I remember. It was one of the funniest moments of my life. You dropped your underware! In public no less! AHHAHAH! Okay. phew. I'm still laughing. You can embarrass me in the next post. I'm sure you have enough fodder for that.

I've become somewhat of a traveling man (woman) as of late, and it's rather exciting. I've seen the world (eastern seaboard). I've met exciting people (bikers and asshole lifeguards) and eaten rare and exciting cuisine (FRIENDLY'S!!!). I'm extremely worldly now and have taken to speaking in a semi British accent (more like Canadian), much like Madonna. I've adopted a new religion (MTV's The Hills). How could I not change my ways after seeing some of the worlds most popular wonders (Jones Beach ponchos, a traveling diner, Harlem, and Kelly Clarkson)??? See, I knew you'd understand. I feel fifty years older now that I've experienced all the world has to offer. Am I still ready to see more? What more is there for me to see?? I've seen the sun set on three different continents (states) and each time the sun set in a more amazing and unbelievable way. How is that possible? I think I'm growing as a person. I've become wise beyond your years.

So, in concluuusion, I would like to thank...YOU. Why? I'm a big person (tall). The public, the people like you, are where it all started. So, Thanks. Thanks for just being....YOU.

Love,
Katie

She is a material girl.

Dear Katie,
My grandma bought me my first CD, and by bought, I mean stole from the thrift store she worked at. It was a copy of Madonna's, Immaculate Collection, a CD that changed my life. Little did I know as I was dancing to Material Girl, and giggling with my sister when Madonna sang "Two bodies become one," that about fifteen years later I would be working in her dressing room.

You didn't read that wrong. Last week I worked for Madonna. I didn't technically meet her, unless you count a couple awkward eye contacts as meeting, but I did get to hang backstage and watch the concert from $300 seats. At one point, I was standing in the middle of a crowd containing Kevin Spacey, Lenny Kravitz, and Michael Moore. At that point, I asked myself, "How on Earth did I get here?"

I never had time to formulate an answer, but I did have time to do something super duper amazing that I am definately NOT allowed to share with ya'll. It is something that you only get one chance in a lifetime to do, and I would be happy to tell you about it in confidence, in person.

Anyhoo, I can't get into any real details (in this blog) about what it was like working for Madonna, or M as they call her on tour. I can, however, tell you that she likes flowers and Kabbalah and is totally teeny tiny and has great taste in furniture.
Love,
Brianna
