Ten years ago on April 30, the instant classic movie “Mean Girls” came out, forever changing “girl world.”

Film/TV Instructor Joel Abramson of the Creative Arts Department at De Anza college, said he considers it to be a classic: “It’s ground breaking in the sense that few movies focus on female leads.”

In addition, many feel the movie is still relevant as the year it came out.

Andrew Pappas, 21, a student at De Anza said, “Mean Girls is still relevant because people still talk about each other.”

The movies portrayal of High School culture still resonates with fans.

Student Alyssa Spahr, 21, said one of the most memorable quotes to her is, “You can’t sit with us!.”

Student Leo Duran, 19, said, “She doesn’t even go here!” is more memorable.

“Mean Girls” is still winning over our hearts even 10 years later, but where are our stars now?

Lindsay Lohan has recently been all over the news. With her docu-series “Lindsay” now over, she is in works for upcoming movies.

Fellow lead actress Rachel McAdams, known as the infamous Regina George has a skyrocketing career, in comparison to Lohans,  appearing in hit romantic movies such as “The Notebook” and “The Vow.”

Gretchen Weiners, portrayed by Lacey Chabert has stared in many T.V. movies such as “Matchmaker Santa” and “Elevator Girl.” She is probably still trying to make “fetch” happen.

As for the ditzy mean girl Karen Smith, played by Amanda Seyfried, has landed herself some major roles in movies such as “Mamma Mia!”, “Dear John”, and “Les Miserables.”

Although it doesn’t look like a reunion will happen future, we can always go back to “Mean Girls” for asking the tough questions such as, “Is butter a carb?”

And always remember, “On Wednesdays we wear pink.”
