Madonna jovially dragged around her moody teenage daughter, and their even moodier poster girl of choice - a racoonified, mermaid-locked, streetwalking swamp-dwelling, tap-dancingvampire - for the NYC launch of her teen clothing line Material Girl. Yep, I too thought that took place a few weeks back, but sure there you are.
Maybe Madge looked so chuffed 'cause police had arrested her latest stalker (some 59-year-old retired NYC fire fighter who was done for "scrawling messages of adoration on the pavement outside her apartment building and possessing a 7.5-inch ice pick"). Or perhaps she was just thrilled she doesn't have to go through that awkward teenage phase again. Until her next round of "vitamin" injections, that is.
OK, she did attempt a Momsen-lite pose, but - to be fair - she just looked like she was suffering a turn, so she quickly accessed and reverted to her "grinning for three" mode.
Anyway, if you want your 13-year-old girl to look like a surly mid-pubescent of the night, get on down to Macy's New York. Or you could just rummage through your pajama draw blindfolded and your tights drawer with your teeth.
