You don’t feel like you are pretty enough? Don’t worry I’m here to help you become more of a Barbie.
Now that you have been introduced to the real world, where everyone wants to be the hottest and strives to be perfect, there is no actual limit on how fake you can become. Just ask role model, Valeria Lukyanova, a real life person that looks like the legit Barbie. Someone who eats less than a normal girl believes the way she looks inspires other people to improve their appearance, and live a more active, creative life.
Trust me girls, even if you think you’re ugly, there is still some hope for you. For example, the unfortunate looking Mia Thermopolis from the movie (Princess Diary’s) found out that she is the heir apparent to the throne of Genovia. There was no way that her grandmother was going to allow her to look like a complete mess in front of the entire country. She was turned into a pretty young lady and taught to act like a princess. If Mia can do it… you can too! (Princess Diary’s)
There is always room for perfection, it just depends on your personal desire, and I am here to help you become the most fakest people around town.
1. When you look good, you feel good.
Designer clothes make you feel good and look hotter than everyone else. Before you start to feel bad about the fact that your jeans don’t look quite as cool as your favorite “celeb”, consider to change your life right then and there. Don’t walk around wearing your new Kohl’s pants and Target sweatshirt, you WILL be judged. People hold other people in higher regard simply if they’re wearing clothes with designer label. Hilary Duff doesn’t walk around in her 40 dollar jeans… wake up! She’s wearing Prada, Guess, and another brand name that you don’t have in your cl...

This gave her all the power in the world because she thinks Regina is nice and actually likes her. But in reality, Regina just wanted to acquire all the power and make people think that she’s perfect (Mean Girls).
A pretty face can be a source of lifelong advantages, while being unattractive is a source of disadvantage. Nothing is better than being perfect. So why not just follow these six easy steps to becoming a Barbie and you’ll have perfect life.

  • Leadership In Mean Girls

    This leadership style has a strong focus on task requirements and less emphasis on concerns for people. When she asked for something she wanted it done immediately with no regard to what the needs of her followers were. When Gretchen wanted to make the word “fetch” a trend at school Regina halted her and demanded that she stop. On the other hand Regina’s mother, Mrs. George had a country club (1,9) leadership style. She was more concerned with being the “cool mom” than being an authoritative figure. This is reflected in the scene where she meets Cady for the first time she emphasized that there were no rules in her house and even went as far as to offer 16 year old Cady alcohol.

  • The Little Foxes by Lillian Hellman

    1055 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hellman’s portrayal of Regina shows her as the wickedest character. This serves as a foundation to the message that when women are powerless they will do anything to over come it (Friedman 81). Regina shows her true nature towards the end of the play. Regina was forced to stay with Horace after she married him because she had none of her own financial backing. Since Hellman had equated money with independence Regina has no choice but to stay with Horace until she gains her own money and in turn her independence. Her strife for independence highlights her feminist nature. She is willing to endure unhappiness for as long as it takes to be independent (Friedman 82). Regina appears cold and conniving. While her husband lays dying in the house, she tells her bothers and Leo that she can put them in jail for what they have done all while keeping it unknown that she does not really know what happened. Her calm and calculating demeanor as she negotiates shows her as a very focused person. Even though her husband lies dying she only appears to care about her money and how she can manipulate her brothers to her advantage (Galens 166). Regina says that she marries Horace solely for his money and status. She stats that she hates him and cannot wait until he dies. This outburst that shows Regina’s true feelings allows the reader to see her as a feminist in a way. She was so determined to get what she wanted that she bounded herself in a situation that she abhors for years just for a chance to achieve her goal (Galens 156). At the end of the play Alexandra ask her mother is she afraid (225). This line parallels the one in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf. This gives the idea that Regina only terrorized others as a coping mechanism to get over her own fears. Regina’s ability to overcome her fears shows her feminist side despite the immoral methods she chose (lord 146).
