Every year since she was 7 months old, Grady and I have gone to the Marc Jacobs fashion show at the NY Armory. Each year we dress up and put on our best looks, Grady's far more amazing than mine, and go to the show. As I work in the fashion industry, I always make it a point to see Marc's shows, as they are cream of the crop. We typically get Grady a snack, hop in a taxi and arrive at the show. We visit the models backstage and see our old friends and sometimes see a sneak peek of rehearsals and then grab a spot to watch the show.
This year we had the fortunate chance to sit in the front-row to catch the show, but better yet, we sat 2 seats down from Madonna. I couldn't believe our good fortune. She looked great, we looked great and the clothes were over-the-top magnificent. After the show, we left and Grady was interviewed (if this is possible for a 5 year old) and the reporter even asked if she was Madoona's child, Mercy James. I replied no and in good fashion form, the reporter asked "well then who's daughter is she" to which I proudly and boldly exclaimed "MINE"
After leaving the venue, we followed up the evening with a trip to Bowery Bar restaurant for ice cream and french fries. What a great evening especially being able to share it with Grady.
