"Flick Chicks" is the clever little article in this week's New Yorker (October 3, 2011, p. 36) by Mindy Kaling. She takes you through the fantasy versus the reality of how contemporary movies use the idea of the female of the human species. Broken down into:
The Klutz
The Ethereal Weirdo
The Woman who is Obsessed with Her Career and Is No Fun at All
The Sassy Best Friend
The Skinny Woman Who is Beautiful and Toned but Also Gluttonous and Disgusting
The Woman Who Works in an Art Gallery
Tell me the truth, Ladies and Actresses? Haven't you watched all of these genres throughout your adult lives and wondered where you might fit in, if at all?
