...being called Leila and wearing tight, tight jeans in which Calvin tauntingly claims he can see her panty lines.

...role models, survival on groceries charged to my parents' Food Emporium courtesy card), I doubtless comprise a member of the "Reality Bites" target audience. Like so many to those who surround me, I am young, bright and disenchanted without really knowing with what or why. I can't watch "Oprah" or "House of Style" without making cynical comments: wisecracks culled form my vastly broad, yet miserably shallow vocab...
