Mean Girls Day 2021

mean girls the plastics    
Yeah, you know I'm all about chick flicks. Today is Mean Girls Day a day inspired by the 2004 movie Mean Girls and the observance is about as A List, antisocial, and clique as it gets.

Revenge and other girl stuff notwithstanding, it's all about fun and nonsense and I'm pretty much all for that regardless of the inherent sarcasm of my "oneness" with the genre ...

Which, of course is utterly nonexistent except for the solid indoctrination I had in cliques, shallow cruelty, and wholesale meanness we on the outside of popularity looking in were made to continually suffer. It reminded me of 1970 and the abominable MENRIV Navy brat infested hellhole Goose gd Creek High School all over again.

The characters Aaron Samuels and Cady Heron from the movie appear to be the instigators of this social media tomfoolery. In the movie, when Aaron (Jonathan Bennett) turns to Cady (Lindsay Lohan) and asks her what day it is. She answers

"It's October 3".

Naturally, the earth shattering sigificance of all this along with The Plastics and every thing else about cliques and ersatz social conventions in a generation which didn't even exist when I was at that age is pretty much lost on me.

Suffice it to say that if you're an adherent to this mess more power to you and if you CELEBRATE it all so much the better. Let your patent leather personality be your guide. All the more with which to toy my pretty.

I'm sitting here in my pink sweatpants and vest polishing my fertility vase of the Ndebele tribe with a big bowl of grool and cheese fries having a Brazilian blowout as we speak. In a nutshell, in the name of unleashing my Regina George, fetch may happen, just not for me. Shallowness be thy name and by the way, why are you white?

Danny DeVito who ?
