5）　It？s　our　last　chance。　Most　of　us　will　be　going　away　for　the　summer；　and　after　that；　it？s　off　to

college。This　is　it　。

Before　you　get　too　crazy　and　do　something　you　might　regret；　you？ll　need　to　decide　whether　you

and　your　boyfriend　are　devoted　enough　to　have　a　long…distance　relationship　throughout　the

summer　and　on　into　college。　Imagine　yourself　surrounded　by　tan　hunks　in　Billabong　surf　shorts；

with　sandy　bare　feet；　offering　you　rides　in　their　vintage　Cabriolets。　Imagine　hot　campus　prepsters

in　only　their　cute　mint…green…and…white　polka…dotted　J。Crew　boxers；　on　their　way　to　the　showers

in　your　coed　dorm。　Will　you　honestly　be　able　to　resist？　Why　not　save　yourself　the　pain　of　a

torturous；　drawn…out　breakup　by　breaking　up　now？　Then　treat　yourself　to　a　meaningless　fling　with

that　shy；　adorable　geek　you　went　to　ballroom　dancing　school　with　in　fifth　grade　who？s　not　such　a

geek　anymore。　You？ve　got　absolutely　nothing　to　lose。　And　while　you？re　at　it；　why　not　at

leastpretend　to　be　nice　to　the　stringy…haired；　bucktoothed　girl　you　forgot　to　invite　to　your　birthday

party　in　seventh　grade　and　every　birthday　party　you？ve　had　since。　That　way　she　can　point　to　your

picture　in　the　yearbook　and　brag　to　all　her　new　pals　at　Mt。　Hollyhock　or　whatever　dorky　college

she？s　going　to　next　year；　？See　this　cool　chick　here？　She　was　one　of　my　best　friends！？　But　never

mind　trying　to　rekindle　old　romances　and　repair　messed…up　friendships。

I　don？t　know　about　you；　but　I？ve　got　a　major　fashion　crisis　on　my　hands。　Most　of　the　private

girls？　schools　take　their　graduation　ceremonies　extremely　seriously。　The　girls　must　wear　long

white　dresses；　white　gloves；　and　white　shoes。　It？s　like　a　wedding；　except　we？re　being　set　free

instead　of　tied　down？yippee！　Still；　the　question　looms：　to　Oscar　or　not　to　Oscar。　Oscar　de　la　Renta；

that　is。　If　you　go　for　Oscar；　you？re　likely　to　wind　up　wearing　the　same　dress　as　six　of　your　other

classmates；　although　you　know　you？re　going　to　look　far　better　in　him　than　they　do。　And　the　nice

thing　about　having　to　stick　to　white　is　that　you　can　always　dye　it　and　wear　it　again。　Yeah；

right？like　you？re　ever　going　towant　to　wear　that　dress　again！

While　I？ve　got　your　attention；　let？s　check　in　on　a　few　of　our　favorite　people。？

The　odd　couple

There　has　been　some　speculation　that　the　relationship　between　those　two　totally　opposite

Williamsburg　apartment　sharers　is　not　just　a　simple；　convenient　roommate　situation　but　something

more？how　shall　we　put　it？？romantic。B　does　seem　to　be　wearing　a　lot　of　black　lately；　and　her　shoes

are　getting　chunkier。　And　what　was　with　that　silver　Tiffanybarrette　inV　？s　supershort　hair　the　other

day？　Can？t　you　just　picture　them；　cuddling　on　the　sofa；　bing　each　other？s　hair；　trading

Manolos　and　Doc　Martens？　？　Who　needs　boys？！

Speaking　of　boys

Bmay　have　given　them　up　entirely？who　wouldn？t；　afterN　？s　latest　stunt？？butV　seems　to　be

enjoying　the　pany　of　the　opposite　sex　more　and　more。　She　andB　？s　shaven…headed　vegan
