Wish to goddess this was an April Fool
Apr. 1st, 2007 05:55 pmHecate points to yet another in the New York Times' seemingly nonending series of annoying though splendiferously news-free articles regarding the aspirations of post-feminist young women.
When we left off, as you'll remember, ALL college-educated young women were preparing to chuck their high-pressure careers in order to breed, as conclusively proved by email interviews with a couple of bored coeds in the reporter's rolodex.
Now, we go back to high school, for ZOMG Admissions Anxiety!!!
Yes, hawtness is right up there with AP calculus for today's college admissions boards.
Look, maybe somebody could grab these girls between rounds of smouldering in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and editing the Daily Bugle to tell them admissions committee basically stack applications in order of GPA and SAT, and couldn't give a crap about Ugg boots. By the way, speaking of pretentious high school actors, tiki attended Santa Monica High School with the Oscar-winning actor, Sean Penn. How many high school plays was he smouldering in? Uh, like, zero, dude.
Sadly, tiki can't seem to work up much empathy for the terrible plight of thin, rich white girls hoping to get into "name" schools so they can meet tall, rich white boys. We are, however, a bit offput that there are now not one but two AP test for Latin. Uh, Latin? WTF?

You still have to be pretty, thin and, as one of Esther’s classmates, Kat Jiang, a go-to stage manager for student theater who has a perfect 2400 score on her SATs, wrote in an e-mail message, “It’s out of style to admit it, but it is more important to be hot than smart.”
“Effortlessly hot,” Kat added.

Banjo music?

Yes, banjo music.
(Don't know much about this--his name is Phillip Roebuck, and he's a banjo-playin' son of a gun. Also, Steve Albini produced his latest album, which is about all we need to know.)
