How to Throw a Birthday Party

Summary: Why models? According to J.P. Prewitt, famous hand model of Bulova fame, models are genetically constructed to become something great: “They’re in peak physical condition. They can gain entry to the most secure places in the world. And most important of all, models don’t think for themselves. They do as their told.” It seems only natural for mothers to want their girls going to modeling themed birthday parties. Because of the popularity of shows like America’s Next Top Model, Project Runway, and others, modeling has become a fad readily consumed by our tweenagers and teenie-boppers.

Birthdays celebrate our children’s yearly aging; we put a mark on the pantry door, give them a little more responsibility and a later bedtime, and celebrate their coming of age with a party in their honor. The power of the birthday party tradition is evidenced in children who carry chips on their shoulder well into their twenties and thirties because of parents skipping the obligatory sixteenth birthday celebration. A truly American sentiment.
