Perhaps, it's just me, but I don't see a thing in the world wrong with this. It's this dude's money, it's his child and if that's what makes everyone happy then Mazel Tov. Sweet Sixteen birthdays are a big deal to some people, it's one of those "big" birthdays, like turning 18, or 21. Perhaps, next year he'll just buy her some lovely gifts and throw a smaller party. Who knows... And since it's his cashola, who cares?<BR/><BR/>I was showered with gifts on my sixteenth birthday, including a brand new BMW and I'm not a jackass, jerk, drug addict, pompous bastard, alcoholic, whore, unwed teenage mother or spoiled brat. In fact, my family made a point of teaching me that when you have money, it's just natural to give back. It's your money and you should spend some, save some and donate some. <BR/><BR/>Not everyone who has money is a jerk who should be scorned, just like not every poor person is laudable and noble.MissCupcakeMageehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18041233334564535850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-16632209002400586642008-05-08T17:53:00.000-07:002008-05-08T17:53:00.000-07:002008-05-08T17:53:00.000-07:00okay, you guys believe he watches sweet 16, but not that he knows a 17 year old runway model???<BR/><BR/>huh???<BR/><BR/>=)bionic bunny!http://www.blogger.com/profile/08081422009833762713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-71331561648571237702008-05-08T14:46:00.000-07:002008-05-08T14:46:00.000-07:002008-05-08T14:46:00.000-07:00Reading that EL watches Sweet Sixteen is the funniest thing I've heard all day.

I had a thoroughly NOT educational slumber party with some burgers and go-carting thrown in. For a gift, I got the spare key to the car and some Nikes. Devastating, right? I dunno how I've managed to avoid a life of crime thus far due to that kind of abuse at the hands of my parents.... ***SNORT**RagDollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08200867740776549522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-49251448964043207202008-05-08T13:34:00.000-07:002008-05-08T13:34:00.000-07:002008-05-08T13:34:00.000-07:00I don't have enough time to spend on envying the haves...I'm too busy enjoying being who I am.<BR/><BR/>-----------------------------<BR/>noooo...you're too busy snarking on celebs like the rest of us..lol.jaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13009699859972498455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-62393554970800126852008-05-08T13:14:00.000-07:002008-05-08T13:14:00.000-07:002008-05-08T13:14:00.000-07:00Wow.

And it was a private party at a club.<BR/><BR/>The amount is outrageous, but this is probably this family's version of a coming-out ball for the kid, since it's not like they'll ever be received at Buck House. And it's a safe bet this kid is not heading for Oxbridge.<BR/><BR/>When you allow for top-drawer champagne and liquor, caviar, major-name live music and big-name DJ, security, VAT, security, gratuities, decorations (gold organza scarves over glitter table cloths, I imagine), limos, gowns, and *then* the breakfast and the after-party, the numbers sort of make sense.lainiekazanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10961087401333700023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-75280853770702808872008-05-08T13:01:00.000-07:002008-05-08T13:01:00.000-07:002008-05-08T13:01:00.000-07:00see tab for GMD's "daughter's" 2nd birthday. now that is a waste.wtfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707429637058810059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-2721229560847277672008-05-08T12:49:00.000-07:002008-05-08T12:49:00.000-07:002008-05-08T12:49:00.000-07:00Whatever...it's his money and he can spend it however he pleases. I also don't worry about the kids who don't get invited. Oh, well...if they don't want to invite me the heck with them. I'll find something else to do.<BR/><BR/>I don't have enough time to spend on envying the haves...I'm too busy enjoying being who I am. That said, there are probably millions of people in the world who think all of the luxeries we have each and every day are a waste as well.Ice Angelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14131924187482641865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-61166131618134778022008-05-08T12:41:00.000-07:002008-05-08T12:41:00.000-07:002008-05-08T12:41:00.000-07:00Dear Mr. Money bags,<BR/><BR/>See item above what a spoiled child turns into.<BR/><BR/>jaxjaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13009699859972498455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-26991517743345639182008-05-08T12:05:00.000-07:002008-05-08T12:05:00.000-07:002008-05-08T12:05:00.000-07:00don't forget the snotty kids on Sweet Sixteen who dis friends by not including them on the VIP list.captivagrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753803583241029101noreply@blogger.com
