What to wear to MADONNA? Sequins clearly.

I was the lucky wingwoman who accompanied one of my best friends, Sara, to the Madonna concert last night to celebrate her birthday.  We clearly both wore sequins.  And comfortable boots for dancing.  And the perfect Madonna pre-game?  Rum drinks and crab rangoon at Trader's Vic's.  The Scorpion Bowl is still as good as it was when it first passed my underage lips many moons ago...  And how was Madge?  Inspiring and the whole thing was more like a Broadway show with a marching band dropping from the sky, elaborate sets and several costume changes for the Queen of Pop.  She dissed Lady Gaga in an "Express Yourself" rendition that slid (too easily) into "Born This Way" and then sang, "She is not me.  She is not me!"  I'd love to think that my childhood idol is above being worried and ruffled by comparisons to anyone else.  And although she played too much of her new stuff, she did give the crowd what we wanted with an upbeat "Like a Prayer" as a finale...  Prayers answered.  And another item checked off my Bucket List.  Happy Birthday to Sara and thanks to Rob, best husband ever, for such a brilliant and selfless gift!!  xoxoxo
