"Lights! Camera! Action!" - Jamie's Bat Mitzvah: July 12, 2008

Jamie wanted to have a Hollywood style red carpet night for her Bat Mitzvah and that is exactly what her mother and a team of decorators headed by Rocky Shelton-Landi provided for her. Here she is waiting for her grand entrance as announced by DJ Brian of Electric Entertainment http://www.thedjs.net/.

The evening of glitz and glamour was awash in Black, White and Red with Gold highlights befitting the grand style of old Hollywood. The centerpieces featured a film production motif and were alternately tall and large.

Jamie herself was the belle of the ball in floor length red satin.

The elegant dinner included a cocktail hour in the foyer with a variety of foods, drinks and a 10 item Martini Bar. Lisa, Jamie's mother, hand-picked a number of the concoctions herself! Then, Jamie, her father and her grandfather presided over a blessing with Challah and Wine.

The next day, there was time for clowning around at the brunch. Jamie's mom Lisa cleverly planned to reuse the decorations from the night before to continue the festive feeling of the event.
