There should be an ad campaign.<BR/><BR/>Mean Girls is another example of the dangers of imitation. Allan Felix isn't looking for friends - he's looking for someone to fit into his odd lovelife. Cady Heron was looking to destroy the Plastics at first, then became what she originally hated.

Do you think Allan Felix truly understood Bogart?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331961951316180787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016476334350349408.post-53831355718713632872009-02-22T18:13:00.000-08:002009-02-22T18:13:00.000-08:00Wait, I thought you loved Lindsay Lohan.

Then <I>Mean Girls</I> came out, and now I'm resigned to everyone thinking I named her after the lead character. :)donnadbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09580583133757807126noreply@blogger.com
