Mean Girls

Mean Girls: Which one are you?

A staple movie of "back in the day" One of my favorite scenes is when -Cadi, explains how the girls in the mall act like they are lions at a watering hole in Africa. This movie was  awesome at depicting the way girls treat each other. If we are lucky, we can think that we grow out of it but honestly we can all say that even in the late 20's we have experienced a mean girl.

Every lady out there has a mean girl side to them. We can all say that we don't but lets be honest. In an interesting conversation about gossiping last night it was decided that all women do it, and hell sometimes even men will admit to it. So in order to be real with yourself, its time to decide what type of mean girl you are.

Mean Girls: Which one are you? lets decipher each one

 Cadi: The Gazelle. New, innocent, wanting acceptance, a little scared, unknowing beautiful. This one sneaks up on you because the claws don't come out until you steal back the boyfriend that was once yours and promise to hook you up with. At first she is kind and trusting then with the one simple act of betrayal of her you become the BITCH. Her popularity and intrigue is built by you. She will use that to her benefit, smile to your face then passive aggressively do things to get under your skin.  Beware of this one she is sneaky, talks about you behind your back but in the end feels that she is not in the wrong, uses her innocence to claim ignorance, has a good heart but int he end she goes a little to far when her opponent gets hit buy a bus...but still wins the crown. 

Gretchen: The Hyena.  Her hair is so big because its full of secrets. Shes is a tricky beast too. She is the best friend, the right hand lady, the best and the worst person to be around. This girl never takes the blame because even though she is always around and involved with the Drama, she is always the listener, never the doer. She will implement her plan and allow the rest to follow through. That way her hands are clean. But dont double cross this one because her ears are so big it tends to make her head full. When her head is full her mouth starts having word diarrhea and then its over....all your nasty little secrets are out in the open. She turns cold, and detached. She is comfortable at first and then will come running back to you when she realizes what sin she has committed. 

Karen: The Hippo. The dumb one. This is the least of your worries in the girl world. Really she is just along for the ride. She completes the pack. Usually pretty, really only concerned with herself and up for a good time. She will keep with the rules and never really gets in trouble because she is always in her own head. A little too dumb for most. She really is a like a cow, eats and grazes then leaves when there is no more food. Don't put it past her though, she will throw in a cleaver remark here and there and gives the leader power.

Regina. The lion but not Moofasa - Scar. The most dangerous of the mean girls. Simply because she is mean and she knows it. The leader of the pack, rarely passive aggressive. Instead of talking behind your back, she will say it to your face with such conviction, you might even believe it yourself. Its hard to see to the soft side of this creature. She is strong, brash, hard headed, spoiled, entitled, does what she wants and in the end only cares about herself and her needs. The hypocrite. She will tell you what you need to hear to your face but talk bad about you to the next person to listen. She is the most vicious of the mean girls but in the end also the weakest. Her pack will turn on her when they get sick of her hypocritical bullshit and run so quickly and will also be the first to stab her in the back. She is the Kanye West of the girl world.

But lets not forget Janis: The victim. The Cheetah in some aspects. She is dangerous too. The once friend, part of the group, former B.F.F, is so angry and detached, that she becomes the arch enemy of the former A crowd. Going from living at pride rock to the out skirts of town. So the former scape goat will find a new best friend, and while being good to her convince her to hurt the old best friend . This is when all out war starts.

Its not until complete chaos breaks out and there is a group of screaming women at each other when they all realize mostly and maybe it was all a bunch of mis communication. A huge long line of this one said this and that one said that. Then after the storm blows over and there is two weeks of peace, someone else opens their mouth, steals someone else boyfriend, blows off a friend, or really hurts the other and the drama is all over again up and running. 

To bring this full circle back to the conversation about all mean girls and gossip. Men just don't understand where it is generated from. Well let me tell you something men, women are emotional creatures, its why you love them so much. What you see as gossip, we see as venting, finding a solution to a problem. It might be easier to punch someone in the face and it would be over, but then life might be a little boring.
