With Jane Pratt's departure from Jane last year, I figured gone were the days of prissy feminism and faux edgy chic-dom. Seems like I might have spoken too soon. A new non-profit organization called The Wonder Girls Society has emerged under the guise of female empowerment and girl power. And with it comes more superficial rhetoric on how to become an uber femme fatale.

Rule # 1: No Fuglies Allowed

The Wonder Girls Society is an exclusive, members-only network for goal-driven, ambitious young women who want to accomplish all their goals in life. We are a group of young, beautiful, confident and multi-talented girls with many ambitions in life! Not your ordinary 'girl-next-door' type, we strive to become more than that!

But don't blame us for being so driven, we refuse to live a "normal" life. We want to be the girls that can say "been there, done that" to every lawful -- and some unlawful (without having to break our morals and values) -- experiences you can possibly think of because we believe that challenging ourselves physically, mentally, psychologically and socially is not only good for the health, it's also good for the soul!

Rule # 2: Be a Superstar

By definition, a Wonder Girl is a young woman abundant in beauty, style, poise, confidence, ambition, and intelligence; she is an almost-perfect, almost-flawless female that carries all positive qualities; she is the girl with almost-superpower qualities. She is a Wonder Girl.

Rule # 3; Stop, Drop, & Roll Baby!

YOU ARE A WONDER GIRL IF
you are a girly-girl, maintaining your natural beauty and femininity through various girly activities such as manicures and pedicures, waxing, haircuts and the works! You love to go shopping and trying on new clothes--you luxuriate in designer shoes as they are your weakness! Your favorite color is within the spectrum of red and purple, have at least a pair of pink pajamas, and will only drink alcoholic beverages that look pretty and served in a martini glass. Source

Phew. For a second I thought I didnt have to be beautiful AND cool to be popular.

I'm going to sit over at the geeks table. If anyone needs me, I'll be discussing the relative merits of Kirk over Picard, and wether either of them could stand toe to toe against Darth Vader.

I donno. Picard's sexy may disorient Vader long enough for Picard to at least stun him....

Edited to say: I vote Vader tho. Vader is my homeboy.

Perhaps, yes. I think Picard's sexy overrules Kirk's sexy.
But I kinda like Riker. Clean-shaven like he was in the earlier series.

This is the founder:

and here is a sample of her wonderful grammar:

"We distinct ourselves as the girl that believes anything is possible when the heart and the mind is put into it."

and: "Women entrepreneurs and business owners may have increased in size,
however only makes up a small percentage in the business world!" I guess the women are all getting fat.

You are a Wonder-Girl if:

You do all of these things and still wonder why nobody respects you, or takes you even remotely seriously.
