How Not To Be An American High School Girl In The 70S

Those Dancing Queens whose hair feathered all the way to the backs of their heads and whose mood rings were probably always violet blue would never understand yard sale clothes or free lunch tickets....or the fathomless depths of the Angst of Moi. You'd think once you were a grownup that memories of little teenage humiliations would at least fade to a dull sepia in your mind. You'd think that. When Gabrielle Spennemann, aged 48, gets an invitation to her thirty-year high school reunion, she is once again confronted with the still-technicolored shame she endured decades ago when she was Gabbie, Geek Goddess. Back when Gabbie was just the hoi polloi to The Beautiful Ones, whose lives, she was certain, had always been just a pleasure stroll in a shopping mall. Revisiting High School Hell, however, can do funny things to a person with the breathing room provided by time. Through memories of the Kick-Me signs, bathroom stall lunches, and all the rest of that angsty goodness Gabrielle still fondles with embarrassing regularity, a clearer picture begins to emerge. Those demons who followed her out of the 70s and 80s weren't whom she thought they were. Hm. Funny, that.
