Mean Girls

[ivyfic]

Watched "Mean Girls" last night - fantastic movie - and I noticed something funny. The artsy girl (played by the actress who was Tina Greer in Smallville) is named Janis Ian in the movie. At first I thought this was a joke. Because Janis Ian is a 70's folk singer famous for the song "At Seventeen," which was on the soundtrack to the film. The song has lyrics like:

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And High School girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired.
The Valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth.

Entirely fitting for the movie, don't you think?

I love Janis Ian, and love that song. I love the connection you made in your post.

I thought Mean Girls was great. I saw it in the theatre and totally enjoyed it. :) And Lindsay Lohan is hawt.
