Works of art with Mean Girls quotes is our new favourite thing – 9 perfect examples
Tina Fey’s timeless classic Mean Girls contains lessons for us all, if only “Tina Fey is a genius”, but also “Pink isn’t only for Wednesdays” and “There’s no such thing as a weight-loss bar”. The National Museum of Women in the Arts obviously agrees, because they’ve been adding Mean Girls quotes to works of art, and they could have been made for each other.
See what you think.
