Obviously, it’s a tad basic to post about Mean Girls on October 3rd, BUT when it also happens on a Wednesday *and* we live a hop, skip, and jump from Broadway in NYC, you know there’s no resisting.
If you haven’t already heard {or have been}, Mean Girls made its Broadway debut this past year and is wowing plastics everywhere.
Directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw {but written by Tina Fey}, Mean Girls originally debuted in Washington D.C. and now has set up shop at the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway {in New York City}…but, while we loved it, a post about all that is, well, SNOOZE. We won’t bore you with the deets because DUHHH go on google, buy tickets, and you’re in business. It’s not hard — unless you’re Karen.
Instead, on this glorious day of October 3rd, we’ll share something a little more relatable than Lindsay Lohan living her best life in Mykonos. For reference:
…we digress. Here’s how to have a very Mean Girls Day in Hoboken:
1. Wear pink. {Purchased most likely at Francesca’s, Anthro, or Coup de Couer uptown.}
2. Eat as many cheese fries as you want. There is no limit to how many cheese fries you can have.
3. Play fetch with your dog {or random dogs, no judgment} at one of Hoboken’s many dog parks.
4. Purge yourself of your secrets and get a Brazilian blowout at Two01 Hair, Keratin Cafe, Blo-It-Out Lounge, or Up & Out.
5. Wear sweatpants AND a vest. Most likely bought at Athleta and/or Shop No. 18.
6. Order a cake filled with rainbows and smiles from Sugar Suckle, Hudson Cakery, or Baking Mama.
7. Drink wine at Grand Vin, Bin 14, or Sorellina and tell a random child {or your own} that they keep you young.
8. Buy a scary Halloween costume at Spirit {which just popped up downtown}:
9. Buy some Kalteen protein bars {or just regular protein bars} at Organic Basic Foods.
10. Don’t have sex because you’ll get pregnant and die.
11. Tell a friend who invites you out that you’re sick. Because self-care.
12. Order a mocktail at a very alcohol-friendly bar, and ask if there’s alcohol in it.
13. Tell a random mom at Starbucks she’s not a regular mom. She’s a cool mom.
14. Order hot chocolate at Sunnyside Cafe or Zafra because you go Glen Coco{a}.
15. Catch a game at Black Bear because they have ESPN.
Go see the real thing on Broadway. You’ll be glad you did!
Happy October 3rd.
