This may reveal my true age (I have been secretly holding on to "I am 21 and holding" for several years) but I can remember a "few" years back MTV launched a show called "My Super Sweet 16" and this show went crazy, when I say "CRAZY" I am meaning "VIRAL" for this day in time. Everyone one was jumping on the bandwagon, it somehow became a right of passage among 16 year old's. Life just wouldn't have been complete without a SUPER SWEET 16 party....The birthday parties these kids were having would make some wedding receptions these days look like a backyard BBQ's I am not even joking people.
During one episode I remember watching a young girl who asked her parents to schedule a photo-shoot with a well known photographer in her area. She wanted to get all dressed up with professional hair and make-up and have her photographer take these glamorous editorial style pictures to showcase at her party. I remember thinking how much fun that would have been as a 16 year old girl to get all dolled up and have beautiful pictures taken. It honestly became the only episode I remember from that show.
Years later, I read an article where they interviewed several of those 16 years old's and that teenage girl was one of the kids they interviewed. She was asked what was the best thing about her Super Sweet Sixteen and she said it was her photo-shoot she had weeks before her actual party. She said with all the money her parents spent she was most proud of walking into her venue and seeing her pictures there and people talking about how beautiful she looked. She was so happy she done the shoot. Of course the party was fun she said but it only lasted a few hours but her pictures she still cherishes to this day!
Well here we are in 2018 and MTV apparently has re-launched that back in the day hit TV show and kids are asking for big parties across America. Well I think a party to celebrate such a milestone is great but what I think is a even greater, is to make sure you capture it in a awesome way just like that young lady did! Ask your parents for a photo-shoot!! better yet ask them for a photo-shoot with Jina!
