bar mitzvah disco - the perfect christmas gift

this is the book that needed to happen. whether it's pics of a boy's madonna themed bar mitzvah, including him doing his own massively rehearsed vogue exhibition in which he climactically takes off his jacket to reveal the giant madonna head emblazoned on the back of his dress shirt (yes he's gay), or the mystical appearance of a robot butler (what?), bar mitzvah disco is brilliant, honest, revealing high class kitsch. and though the title is bar mitzvah, girls (for whom the term would be bas mitzvah) are featured as well. more at barmitzvahdisco.com. right now they're soliciting catskills vacation photos so if you've got them share them and maybe you'll make it into their next book. for those not in the jewish know, first of all, let me suck your cock or whatever's down there, and then here's a borscht belt wiki.

as for my own bar mitzvah reception, let me sum it up this way:

• larry slack and his orchestra (holy rented owned tux batman!)  update: the larry slack himself e-mailed me in september 2007 that he and his bandmate's tuxes were all owned, not rented.  sorry larry!  as for my duds, i was in a department store bought suit, not a rented or owned tux.  rock on, 13 year old pinstripe suit hell.  wish i still had you so i could burn you.)
• electric limbo
• bubblegum blowing contest
• musical chairs, with the girls as the chairs (pam cohen was sturdy!)
• 45 record giveaway (with such classics as burning down the house and safety dance)
• new york, new york kickline (girls only unfortunately)
• shadow tag in the parking lot
• slipping away to egg the church across the street
• involuntary investment in the u.s. government (i.e. savings bonds)
• that one gay uncle
• shag carpeting
• fatty grisly beef
• seating of hebrew school classmates based on obscure in my own head popularity contest belying the fact that even though i was at the very center i was still the least popular ever
• no messiah

by egging the church next door you are only playing into the superstitious mideval mindset...catholic-baiting if you will. exactly what they think "goes on" at "those jewish things"

yes, now it is only eggs, but next week you will be smuggling out consecrated hosts to stab them and watch them bleed.
