From the Atlanta Journal-Constituation re Allison
Ah, to be 16 again
Apparently the party just doesn’t stop for some privileged teenagers. First Atlanta’s Allison Mathis was chosen by MTV to have her birthday party recorded for its “My Super Sweet 16” show. Entertainment mogul Jermaine Dupri made an appearance, hip-hop group G-Unit performed, WXIA-TV covered it as news, and Mom and Dad handed her the keys to a brand-new Mercedes SUV. Then just this past week, the Paideia student was interviewed on the cable channel’s “TRL” countdown show. And on Monday night, the daughter of entertainment attorney Charles and Cyndi Mathis will have 200 or so folks over at Justin’s Restaurant & Bar in Buckhead for a viewing party of her episode, complete with red carpet.
All this made us wonder what she hopes for her 17th. “I’m not really tired of celebrating my 16th yet,” Mathis told Buzz on Friday (her birthday was Aug. 26). “But as for my 17th birthday, really, I’m kind of looking past that, to college.”
