5,4,3,2,1.....Happy Birthday Shoshana, the crowd of over 100 teenagers shouted as Shoshana Lee, the daughter of Gordon Lee and Deborah Cole, and also the grand-daughter of singer Judy Mowatt celebrated her sweet 16 birthday party last night in Beverly Hills, St. Andrew.
Unlike other celebrity sweet 16 parties where the hostess of the moment spends the majority of their time at the party kicking people out who they did not invite, Shoshana instead chose to spend the time dancing with her friends, thanking her parents and enjoying the cake. She was the consummate social butterfly, flitting from conversation to conversation to make everyone feel welcome. And get this people, she only changed her outfit twice. How about that for self-control?
With Code Red at the controls, and spewing out a sick stream of hits from dancehall, hip-hop, reggaeton and even soca, the teenyboppers almost lost their collective minds, their pelvises locked, as they 'grinded' on each other, while others demonstrated the latest dances, a very snooty version of the Dutty Wine, dare I say it, the 'Uptown Dirty Wine', and of course, the Bad Man Forward, Bad Man Pull Up.
This Upper St. Andrew sweetie put a nice spin on the party, too when she grabbed the mike and said, 'daddy, where are you?', then when he failed to respond immediately, added a totally cute but petulant, 'Daddy', which provoked giggles from the audience.
Judy Mowatt invoked a note of sobriety and solemnity to the night's festivities when she prayed for the father to continue to "shower down blessings on those young people gathered here right now". Then 'Shana cut the cake with her father, Gordon. Shana’s half sister, Yeshemabeth was also present.
Special big ups to all the ultra-cool teens who were in attendance such as the Fras Krew, Mad Tingz, Quality Men, Immaculate Ladies, and all the other crews we cannot name here. A YardFlex shout out to the AA crowd with Jason and Gordon, and other adults who were relegated to staying downstairs and guzzling alcohol. Big up!
