The 2004 flick, Mean Girls, written by Tina Fey remains one of my favorite teen films of all times. For the movie’s 10th anniversary, EW invited the film’s female leads to come together and dish about their memories, behind-the-scenes magic, and what they think their characters would be doing now.
These are some of my favorite Mean Girls quotes:
“On Wednesdays we wear pink.” (I’ve actually written posts about this one).
“Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It’s not going to happen!”
“I’m sorry I called you a gap-toothed bitch. It’s not your fault you’re so gap-toothed.”
You can read this delicious interview on EW’s site, here.

Stumbled upon this guy on Google+ tonight and thought I’d share it. I think you’ll agree that some pictures are meant to be shared.
This fit, young guy could’ve taken this photo anywhere, but he chose to take it in his kitchen. This only makes me want to spend more time in my kitchen; probably not how one gets this kind of body.
One month from today Richard Winchester, producer and co-founder of Artfull Circle Theatre in San Francisco will return to New York City with an hilarious holiday musical comedy hit, Christmas With the Crawfords.
The show, which opens on December 11th, stars Joey Arias as Joan Crawford and Chris March as her darling daughter Christina. Connie Champagne returns as Judy Garland — a role in which she has garnered international acclaim. Sherry Vine (Keith Levy) will take on the dual role of Hedda Hopper and Baby Jane Hudson in her first appearance in the show.
The production is based on the actual Christmas Eve live radio broadcast of the Crawford family from their Brentwood mansion in the late 1940s, “Christmas With the Crawfords” is a loving homage to and parody of Hollywood’s Golden Age and is filled with appearances of major Tinsel Town icons, such as Judy Garland, Carmen Miranda, Gloria Swanson and the Andrews Sisters.
