A week ago, we were surprised to see a sixteen year old celebrate a birthday at a nightclub. How naive I was back then! Bonnie Fuller's daughter, Leilah, celebrated her Bat Mitzvah at Marquee. Watch out, New York: The tweens are taking over.-
Granted, I've been out of the Bat Mitzvah circuit for a long time now, but little Leilah's coming of age extravaganza looks NOTHING like the ones I remember.
First of all, no Bat Mitzvah that I've ever been to has a STEP AND REPEAT.
But Leilah's guests happily posed on the red carpet in front of basically wallpaper covered with her face:
Instead of a boring gift bag, Leilah's Lounge (as Marquis was aptly renamed for the night) offered a VARIETY of gifts to choose from. Messenger bags! Dancing socks!
And Munnys! Everyone wants Munnys! Whatever those are!
For the guest who needs replenishment after sock dancing a little too hard, cupcakes and candy galore:
And NO Upper Crust New York Bat Mitzvah would be complete without a wide assortment of Kanye shades to wear.
Why are they BAREFOOT? Why aren't they wearing their DANCING SOCKS?
Oh man, they're really gonna regret this picture when they're older.
Pretty cute. Pretty elaborate. Pretty Only-In-New-York.
