MTV's My Super Sweet 16

[NinjaPoodle]

After watching Allison, my first thought was BOGUS! (page 26 of the BAP Handbook):

Bogus: Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the most genuine BAP of them all?
Mirror: Not You, not you, my dear. You're too busy hiding behind your expensive gear.

bo*gus\bo-ges\ n, usu. cap B: a. An imposter who is not an authentic BAP. b. Her BAP status is a figment of her imagination. c. A greedy gut.

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.”

It was weird because in other SS episodes, you see the girls obsessing over "the perfect dress". I couldn't believe what she chose for her first outfit and nearly had a convulsion when she changed into jeans. Honey, when you gotta wear a white tank top to cover up your ta-tas (not to mention spend seconds in every scene 'adjusting') you wore the wrong thing to your party and you probably deserved to get barfed on.



I read somewhere that she and daddy threw yet another grand party at Justin's last night just to view her episode. DISGUSTING. I can't believe she got Peachtree closed just for her stupid "parade". I hope she's the laughingstock of Buckhead because of that episode.

One other thing, what was the deal with her "dubutante coming out" prior to the party? Did she participate in a cotillion? Funny, last time I checked, floating down the grand stairs of your home in a tight dress didnt count as a deb coming out...

I had the same thoughts about her "coming out". I thought the dress she wore for that was a million times better than what she wore to her party.

And about Point Loma Nazarene. They only have locals. I think they're all religiously focused too. PLNU is one of those schools where the kids are not supposed to drink/date/dance/etc.

Yep, that's what I thought. My HS BF looked at Point Loma for college and considered going there for their soccer program. And then he went to visit the campus, saw campus life, and immediately crossed them off the list.

To add some thought on PLNU it is a gorgeous campus, right on the cliffs of the pacific ocean. It is a deeply religious school, however it is still a college. I'm not sure about the campus life, because people don't go there to party or get a typical college experience.

Finally got to watch the first 2 episodes last night and I think those were 2 of the worst episodes to date. I couldnt stand either of them.

OTW - Agreed on Allison's outfits...jeans? Seriously?

And the horse that Cher rode to hand out her invitations was a bit ridiculous IMO. Nothing "cool" about that. Her float looked stupid and cheap too even after they confronted the builders. Oh and her mom sounded like Fran Drescher which got old fast!

Here's hoping the rest of the season gets better.

Gotta disagree with you on that one. I think Ava is the winner for this so far..
