I don’t know what’s worse – that they raised a 6 year-old who wants a Michael Jackson-themed birthday party, or that they are giving all the 6 year-old guests a single sequined glove and expect them to understand and appreciate the historical significance of that item.
This party sounds great. The only way to improve it would if they also brought in those 7-year old girls to dance to “Singles Ladies” in their streetwalker outfits. And then, the circle of delinquent parenting would be complete.
No #16 BillsBayou, I think in order for this to be an authentic “Michael Jackson themed pary” they should just skip the Jesus Juice and serve massive amounts of propofol…
First of all, *you* are having a Michael Jackson themed party *for* your 6 year old; even is she is the one who chose the theme (and please start saving for her therapy bills now, if this is the case), the fact that you are permitting this inappropriate theme aside, as the person obtaining and paying for the party favors, final approval should rest with you, nay? Parenting. You’re doing it wrong.
i have a 5 year old…and while she doesn’t know who MJ is, i can see maybe some 6 year old wanting a Michael Jackson party. i can also sort of understand the glove party favor thing.
what i CAN’T understand is the fact that she’s going to order one to have her kid make sure it’s what she wants. WTF?!?! she’s 6. if she doesn’t like it, tough cookies. she’s not paying for the fucking party.
I’m sure the party will go off with a bang , it’s an innocuous glove , & pageant parents are innocently parading thier girls around looking like hookers & I should do myself a favor & *lighten* up.
OKay I feel like holding some sort of interventions for crafters that bid themselves out this low. Anyone willing to sew 20 things for 5 bucks needs to be kicked in the head!
This has gotta be regretsy bait…I am not trying to whine and piss and moan over the parade, but c’mon. What 6-year-old remembers Michael during his Thriller days? Do you mean to tell me that there will also be a guy dressed up as Bubbles and one dressed up as Webster at this party, too ?
*Sequined gloves
*”Exam” gloves
*Swag bag with gifts from local therapists and plastic surgeons
*Candy
*”To Catch a Predator” TV crew
*Special incentives for boy guests
*FBI stakeout
*Ice cream
*Balcony
*Baby
This is an obvious case of parent living vicariously through child.
I will lay a 100 dollar bill down that we have seen this parent on TV screaming that Michael is innocent.
i couldn’t agree with you more. my 7-year-old loves mj because her older cousin listens to him a lot. what am i gonna tell my little girl? that she can’t listen because he was accused of touching little boys? no, i’m going to let her keep her innocence, enjoy some good dance music, and move on.
wrong on so many levels, yet what gets me the most really is the fact that the mom is going to get the kid’s approval of the glove. seriously, get a job, then you can go around ‘approving’ crap.

Just beat it with your $5.00 request. Unless it’s for %5.00 each. Then, Thriller, I guess.
May 19, 2010 at 1:33 pm
I wonder if they also want calorie free fudge with walnuts.
May 19, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Some people should be forbidden from breeding.
May 19, 2010 at 1:35 pm
6-year old girls weren’t really Michael’s thing, if you catch my drift.
May 19, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Those things better come with a big dose of antibiotics.
May 19, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Now maybe their older brothers…
May 19, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I’m sure she means $5 each. ya think?
May 19, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I imagine with her pricing Oriental Trading Co would be a better place to look.
I for one am thoroughly creeped out at the thought of children sporting MJ gloves.
May 19, 2010 at 1:37 pm

Or the whole damned thing, is the third option.
May 19, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Nothing like a child’s birthday party with a pedophile theme!
maybe they can get the pinata lady to make one of MJ…I’d be happy to BEAT IT!
May 19, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Anyone know where I can get 10 pairs of gloves for under $5?

They’ll need the glove to hold the cups of Jesus Juice.
May 19, 2010 at 1:46 pm
Odds are , if they’re inviting a few people from the neighborhood, there’ll be at least 1 pedophile at that party.
May 19, 2010 at 1:47 pm
Imagine the “Mittens” painting, and a sequined glove.
I won’t photoshop that one
May 19, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Hamoza, that is incredibly depressing…because it’s probably true.
May 19, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Can I just dip some latex exam gloves in glitter? Because that’s what 5 bucks will get you.

When my kids were six years old, they were into Barbies and Transformers and shit like that. We had Spongebob-themed parties for them at that age.
What six year old wants a Michael Jackson-themed party?
And I’m old enough to remember when Jackson was semi-normal and even *I* don’t want a Michael Jackson-themed party.
May 19, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I sure hope there’s propofol in the goodie bags.
May 19, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Pageant mom maybe? I can’t see a normal mother letting her kid have a “Michael Jackson” party?
And what will the party games be?
May 19, 2010 at 2:00 pm
patty, I accidently red-thumbed you! I’m sorry!
May 19, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Yes, Johnpincusiscrying.
Perhaps some propofol punch? Maybe guests could do some crafts at the party, like decorate your own face mask?
May 19, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Someone might want to tell that mother that regarding Michael Jackson, there are some things you can’t untell.
May 19, 2010 at 2:07 pm
If they’re serving Jesus juice… count me IN!

May 19, 2010 at 2:16 pm
What, no newspapers , radio, t.v. or internet in Denver, or is this parent just a moron?
May 19, 2010 at 2:17 pm
I had sequined gloves for a dance costume once, but it wasn’t MJ-related. This is strange, but at least it is coherently written.

@hamoza – I bet they heard that NPR story a month ago about the California parents who hosted an MJ party for their 1st-grader (who requested it).
At the time I predicted that this would be the next moronic trend. Sometimes I hate it when I’m right.

Hilarious pediphile jokes aside, the child is innocently wanting a MJ party, people, this is not a big deal.

I’m sorry that I can’t help with the glove, but I would be pleased to bring a casserole to pass, cozied in my new patriotic warmer!

I was a huge MJ fan when I was 6 … of course, that was in 1983 …
May 22, 2010 at 10:24 pm
The idea of the gloves doesn’t really disturb me.
What does kind of disturb me is the possibility that this fete might involve hiring a michael jackson impersonator.
