i just get so happy when they finally let her shop

My favorite movie from the ages of maybe 11-15 (when having a favorite movie was still a requirement) was Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. I rewatched it the other day and in the midst of quoting every single line -- "i was so lucky getting mono that was like the best diet ever"-- i realized that my affinity toward the film was completely valid. In retrospect, it is also potentially the most personally influential movie I have ever seen, and I usually tend to avoid superlative statements. First of all, it is valid because it it one of the few movies with two strong female comedic leads. Even though their humor comes mainly from their ditziness, the fact that they carry the movie- as opposed to the secondary female roles in, for example, Judd Apatow movies-- is something completely different. Secondly, I have a feeling that Romy and Michele have a lot to do with my sudden pre-teen interest in fashion. They start their own store and make their own clothes! That is my exact dream! This cannot be a coincidence! Romy and Michele should be an influence for all girls out there to stay true to themselves, stand up to the A-group, and find the richest guy from high school and get him to be a backer for a store on Rodeo Drive.
