Queens Girls

What is a Queens girl? No, its not just a girl who goes to Queens, it’s a specific…brand. A Queens girl wears Uggs and a mini skirt to the library with a hoodie with perfect hair and perfect makeup. She may also choose to wear Uggs, sweatpants, a tight fitted shirt with perfect hair and makeup. She doesn’t wear a backpack…she carries a Lululemon bag. She comes to the library to study and meet up with her friends where they whisper yell about the injustices in the world while they sip their starbucks. A Queens girl must have at least one women’s studies course and a development studies course on her timetable to ensure that she has a forum to express how oppressed she is and the injustices of the world (as Queens girls are all about justice). She must want to be a lawyer. She must only wear designer. She may appear to be a shallow fluffy bimbo…but here’s the kicker…chances are, she write a darn good paper (probably about oppression and social justice but very succinct and cohesive). You can mock her, roll your eyes at her, mumble about how girls like her in high school got pregnant and dropped out after grade ten. The problem is that while you resent these models of frivolity and hypocrisy, they’re not like any of the other people you’ve ever encountered. These girls are going somewhere. Granted, they’re going in Prada and Guichi , but they’re going. They’re going to fend off oppression and injustice so that all women, around the world, may drive beamers, sip starbucks with their perfect hair and their perfect makeup.
