While it was previously reported that Madonna's eldest child, daughter Lourdes Leon Ciccone, would be joining her superstar mom on her MDNA tour as a backup dancer, the teen has revealed she took on a much less glamorous gig while hitting the road with her mom. Lourdes, who just celebrated her 16th birthday on Oct. 14, found herself folding piles of underwear after taking a summer job in the tour's wardrobe department!

"This summer I was SURPRISINGLY productive," Lola writes in a post on her Material Girl blog. "So, I thought I would tell you all about the joys of folding underwear."

"As you probably know this woman I like to call my mother went on tour for her MDNA album," she writes. "As a summer job I decided to work in the wardrobe department. All of my friends were getting summer jobs and I wanted one too. Mine was a little unconventional but still a great experience and a lot of fun. Being in the wardrobe department meant me and a few other girls dressed the dancers during the show when they had quick changes. Thirty seconds to totally dress a sweaty dancer can be insane and provoke mucho anxiety. Doing this night after night was pretty cray, but I loved every minute of it!"

Sounds like Lourdes wasn't getting any special treatment! But of course, there were the amazing travel perks. "My favorites were Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Turkey," she admits.

It appears getting her well-manicured hands a little dirty did the celebrity offspring some good. "It's really a great experience to be able to work on a large production, traveling around like a family, setting up for an amazing show and all having the same purpose," Lourdes admits. "I developed really good relationships with a number of people, not just in wardrobe but in other departments too. Dancers, singers, sound crew, catering, etc. To be able to be a part of such an inspiring production was one of my best summers so far."
