Desperately Seeking Susan Flashback



Another day, another story. I was 14 and my mom (yes, her again, wasn't she great?) brought me to The Avenue of the Stars in Century City to see Madonna at her Desperately Seeking Susan Premiere. So, obviously, I was very excited and nervous. This was the first time I saw her in person! Anyway, it was 1985, my memory of this event is very vague because there was so much going on - total mayhem - it was the height of Madonna Mania - or so I thought. The Virgin Tour hadn't happened yet. That was the thing with Madonna - as soon as you thought she reached the top - she went further, eclipsing that Michael Jackson-type fame and left everyone eating her dust. All I remember was a Vision of White swooping by.
