Girls Weather Report Scene Reaction Amanda Seyfried

Mean Girls star Amanda Seyfried says she was grossed out by the response to her weather report scene. Rising to pop culture fame in the early 2000s, Mean Girls told the story of a transfer student who decides to infiltrate and sabotage the clique of popular girls at her new high school, known as the Plastics. Penned by comedian Tina Fey and helmed by Freaky Friday director Mark Waters, the film stormed to box office success, raking in around $130 million from a budget of $17 million. Starring Lindsay Lohan as the misguided protagonist Cady Heron, the Plastics were comprised of Rachel McAdams as their infamous leader Regina George, Lacey Chabert as Gretchen Wieners, and Seyfried as Karen Smith. The somewhat clueless but loveable member of the collectively toxic group, Karen became well-loved by fans for her unexpected one-liners. Perhaps her most well-known scene occurred after being branded “stupid” by her so-called friend Regina. Attempting to comfort her, Cady encourages her to share some of her talents, to which Karen replies that, other than the ability to put her whole first in her mouth, her breasts could predict when it was about to rain. “Well,” she quickly amended. “They can tell when it’s raining.” Later, after becoming the school’s weather reporter, Karen appears to reference her breasts before predicting that there was a 30% chance it was already raining.

Now, in an interview with Marie Claire, Seyfried revealed how she felt about the old scene. Stating that she continues to be recognized for her role in Mean Girls 18 years later, Seyfried lamented that it was often for her weather scene. “I always felt really grossed out by that,” she admits. “I was 18 years old. It was just gross.” Seyfried’s experience echoes that of fellow teen stars such as Millie Bobbie Brown (Stranger Things), who recently derided the sexualization of young female actresses. Describing growing up in the spotlight as “overwhelming,” Brown said there was a notable, “gross” difference in the way she was treated in the public eye since turning 18. Elsewhere, Nickelodeon star Cole Sprouse also recently branded the experience of his female co-stars as “unique” and incomparable to his own due to their heavy sexualization on-screen and by fans.


The revelation of Seyfried’s treatment following her performance in Mean Girls further highlights a disheartening trend of objectification toward young actresses. Arguably made popular for its parody of high school culture and gender stereotypes, it seems particularly cruel that one of the film’s stars should fall prey to such public objectification. Still, as more former teen stars begin to speak out about their sometimes disturbing experiences in the spotlight, we can only hope that Hollywood and society as a whole moves to further protect young people from similar experiences.

The Progressive era C. B. J. Snyder for Schools

A biography of school architect C. B. J. Snyder, opens a view onto a lost and glorious world of public education in New York City. Early 20th-century Progressives believed that mass public education could combine democracy and excellence. Their hopes shaped the 408 new schools and additions that Snyder designed during his 1891 to 1922 tenure as New York’s superintendent of school buildings. To a degree, Progressives’ hopes were fulfilled. Some Snyder schools, such as Erasmus Hall and Morris High, would produce long lists of notable alumni despite being neighborhood, not exam schools. Snyder biographer Jean Arrington invites us to consider the contribution that design makes to excellence in education. Three factors accounted for the extravagant scale of Snyder’s school building program. The first two were the revenues pouring into the city treasury and the pressures of surging enrollment. In the current era, New York’s traditional district schools have been losi...

It may be tainted, but don’t underestimate the power of brand love

The concept of ‘brand love’ was overused and went out of fashion, it remains an insightful way to consider consumers’ attitudes towards brands. You do realise that this is fantastically untrendy research? I explained to the team from Savanta, when they approached me to give the launch speech for their 2022 Most Loved Brand Award. To top things off, I added, you’ve only gone and split out your findings by segments of the market too. Which is also fantastically uncool. It’s true, is it not? The merest mention of ‘brand love’ elicits a collective groan from the gaggle of opinion leaders that monitor every discussion about marketing. And slicing anything these days by segment opens up the obligatory critique about the pointlessness of segmentation and the reinstalled dominance of mass marketing. It’s a big week for returning shows across the streaming platforms. We have a Season 2, a Season 4, and a Season 9 revving up for release in the coming days, ranging from an A-list workplace co...
