I’m glad My Kid is not yet a tween. That would be tiresome. I thought she would be interested in the local preparations for the VH1 DIVAS special was filmed just down the street at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). For two days blockades have been going up and by 4:00 yesterday flocks of uniformed police officers had arrived to control the expected crowds and protect the “Diva’s”. Some of them, Miley Cyrus and Jordin Sparks for example, and are still in high school. (Personally I think a Diva has to have a larger and longer body of work –But who am I to have an opinion about pop culture, I’m just a mom.) When we got off the subway at Atlantic Center My Kid didn’t want to walk past BAM to check out the preparations. While flipping channels later in the evening she wasn’t interested in watching the show that was taking place just down the street even though she perked up at the mention of Miley Cyrus. She looked up and then went back to what she was doing. No thrill for her at the 6-degrees-of-separation from all those stars just down the street in the ‘hood of my jaded little New Yorker.
