Blogging on Meds

After challenging Alexis’ values regarding her Craigslist ad seeking photogs to pose as paparazzi at her Sweet 16, ObscureCraft blog got an incredible response.

For her big night, Alexis and her mom plan to spend $1,000 more than the official poverty threshold for a family of two. Fifteen thousand dollars, on a five-hour party for a kid.

Among the blog’s outraged comments is a suggestion to hit up photographer Lauren Greenfield, with a link to the intro for her documentary “Kids + Money.” For even more context, NYT photog Tyler Hicks and reporter Kareem Fahim did a great audio slideshow last year that shows the other end of the spectrum right in this girl’s suburban Central Jersey locale.
