I've been looking on the Net for party ideas and came across this:

Kids are mean even at 8 years old and they are all about money. Since they are all little paris's I would have a Paris Hilton Party. It should be cheap to put together. Just buy everything pink and get some terras and go to the dollar store and buy some small stuffed animals for the dog. Maybe buy some cheap cloths and have a dressd up runway and who ever wins gets a prize. Or buy some arts and crafts and allow them to make their own desinger purse..Im not sure but I hope you can come up with something!!



Another suggestion was a Bratz party with a catwalk show in swimsuits.

What the heck!!

Thats just ridiculous and no way would I buy into it!

Hmmmmm that's all a bit OTT huh? catwalk modelling? Please. No way my DD's are going to get Paris Hilton or Bratz parties

Well I am so anti- Paris and the culture of pink it isn't funny,so yeah, none of that happening here.

Then again, I just had a conversation today about what sort of party she might like for her 5th birthday, and what sort of cake, and she wants a mummy cake. As in me. Not eqyptian mummies So can't see her wanting a catwalk party anytime soon.

Ha ha ha I can just see that. Imagine people walking in and seeing decorations made from photos of you, a cake looking like you, pin the nose on Felicis games lol.

Best cake idea ever, Felicis!

I must admit, I like the "make your own purse" idea but I think it's a pool party or tea party for Olivia and her mates this year.

I don't mind the purse making at all. I have an issue with little girls wanting to be Paris Hilton though!

I know, can you imagine it?

Make your own purse is cool Paris Hilton is not.

Pool party and tea party is cool

DD is currently writing a list of ideas for her 8th birthday... which is in July.

I'm trying to steer her away from rainbow magic fairies and towards winter wonderland or The Faraway Tree.

OMG, Faraway tree for the win Lol @ rainbow magic fairies :ofl: Remind her that a Faraway tree has Silky, so can have fairies and magic!

Faraway Tree sounds awesome.

Miss 4 has tended to want similar birthdays to her brother so I tend to recycle the ideas lol.

I'm so not doing Rainbow Magic. Plus she'll be turning 8 and I don't think any of her friends will be into those books then. I'll do something she likes of course but if I'm spending a huge amount of time and effort on it then it has to be something I'm on board with.

UG, that's revolting! A paris hilton party?? I hope the person suggesting that doesn't actually HAVE an 8yo!!
DD had a movie sleepover party this year for her 8th, with pizza and popcorn and pancakes.

I'm too scared to do a sleepover! Were they up all night? I can imagine everyone awake till 3 in the morning if we had one.

No, the movie stopped at about 11 and by 12 I got stern with them and they wre asleep quite quickly.

My daughter and I were looking at dolls just yesterday. She pointed out Brats dolls and I proceeded to tell her that they weren't very nice and how they didn't dress very nice and how being a brat wasn't a nice thing. "Here honey, look at this Moxi Girl, she looks much nicer"

A Paris party? Only if it's got an Eiffel tower.

my 5yr old boy would LOOOOVE it
but omg no way!!! who the heck's 8yr olds even know anything about paris hilton lol

you would be very surprised Cadium, and american kids would be even more exposed to it than here. I would say less would know of her now, but when she had her show here, 8 yr olds watched it for sure.

I was thinking that my 8 yo wouldn't have the faintest idea who Paris Hilton was - I mean I know he's not a girl, but the same principle would apply if I had a girl.

And lets all dress them up with full-slap make up and put them into kiddies beauty pageants while we're at it - that's what it smells of to me.
