Say Hello to Your Friends...

I was SO obsessed back in the day, and Ree and I won't let our parents get rid of our stock of books stored in their garage. I just stumbled across a few sites that predict where the girls are now, and here is what I imagine to be true:

• Kristy Thomas: Out of the closet now, she remains in the Northeast with her partner Kim and teaches high school softball. She is a slightly less conniving version of Sue Sylvester at work and volunteers at an animal shelter on weekends.
• Mary Anne Spier: While studying early childhood eduation at NYU (because you know she was obsessed with the Big Apple), she ran into her middle school flame, Logan Bruno. The two are now married and living in Brooklyn with their daughter Laura Beth and cat Tigress.
• Claudia Kishi: Much to her parents' dismay, Claudia skipped college and moved to Miami to seize an opportunity to present her art at a gallery. After she failed to gather income that way, she started working part-time at a coffee shop where she tries to push junk food onto otherwise health-conscious customers. She also practices makeup artistry, occasionally sells paintings, and lives with her current boyfriend Maurice.
• Stacey McGill: After an internship with Nylon magazine during high school, Stacey had her foot in the door with the bigwigs in NYC. She moved into a studio apartment with her old friend Laine while starting her fashion/marketing/modeling career, studied in Paris for 2 years, and is now a stylist for the stars. She decided not to be saddled down but has a steady stream of male companions.
• Dawn Schafer: Always a California girl, she graduated from Berkeley and opened a small organic farmers market and vegan restaurant. She lives a comfortable, relaxed lifestyle and recently married her boyfriend Paul in an impromptu beach wedding.
• Mallory Pike: While studying writing at Purdue (chosen because of its high male:female ratio), Mallory received a lot of male attention due to the lack of competition. She got pregnant at 20, dropped out of school, married her next boyfriend Nick, and followed in her mom's footsteps. She's now a housewife with 8 kids in Worcester.
• Jessi Ramsey: In high school, Jessi had the same experience as the girl in Save the Last Dance (subtract the dead mom and reverse the skin colors). She went to Juilliard and now teaches ballet and racial relations while planning her wedding to the ever-supportive James.
