All that glitters...

Fascinating Washington Post article about a Turkish immigrant millionaire's daughter's Sweet 16 bash.

Great quote from one attendee:

"Honestly, it's been challenging at times raising our daughter around all of this," says Melanie Braun, mother of Ayse's best friend Maddy. She gestures around the club. "It's not our lifestyle at all. But the Halacs are a wonderful family, very generous. I think Ahmet contributes to charities in Turkey, or something."

"Contributes to charities in Turkey or something". Priceless.

I also liked the bit about how Soulja Boy, one of the celebrity rappers paid to attend, was under the impression that it was a club appearance, not a private party. He charges more for private parties.
