"It&amp;#x27;s October 3, and you guys know what October third is (it&amp;#x27;s practically requisite for reading this site): MEAN GIRLS DAY. But it can&amp;#x27;t always be about Mean Girls, the movie. The other 30 percent of the time, it&amp;#x27;s got to be about other stuff, which is why we&amp;#x27;re taking this October 3 to pay tribute to all the best mean girls on television right now. To be clear: I am not talking strictly about bratty, catty evildoers. I&amp;#x27;m talking about those women on TV whom you only need two seconds to size up as yup, they were definitely scary and popular in high school. Also, they&amp;#x27;re sort of scary and popular now. Just tell me you couldn&amp;#x27;t see these 12 characters sharing one long, force-field-surrounded lunch table: Emily Thorne, Revenge I know that her mission is pure and all, but just imagine running into Emily in a ladies room&amp;amp;#8212;her glowering at you, you wishing for death. The only way this nightmare gets worse is if you happen to be attempting the same body-con gown as her. Shut it down. Haley Dunphy, Modern Family How happy is Alex that Haylee isn&amp;#x27;t in her high school anymore? Everyone, Pretty Little Liars Everywhere they go, these girls rep hard for flying-V formations. Juliette Barnes, Nashville How are her roadies not ratting her witchiness out to gossip blogs all the live long day? Also: her facial expressions are the greatest. Donna Meagle, Parks and Rec Donna, when considered as part of this group, is seriously frightening because she&amp;#x27;s the smartest. You just know the rest of the dirty dozen would be turning to her for zingers and schemes 24-7. And she would always come through, her power growing with each delivered burn. Side note: &amp;quot;Donna Meagle&amp;quot; sounds so much like someone who would&amp;#x27;ve made your life hell in high school, it sends a phantom shiver down my spine. Rosa Diaz, Brooklyn Nine-Nine What? you&amp;#x27;re thinking. Already? Yes, already, and it makes perfect sense&amp;amp;#8212;because everybody knows that the newest addition to the mean-girl clique is always, always the coldest. Samantha Jones, The Carrie Diaries Correct: This one&amp;#x27;s not even on yet. But are you going to argue with that eyebrow? I&amp;#x27;m not. Selina Meyer, Veep The above is ridiculously NSFW, but I insist that you watch it at some point because it is the literal apex of Selina&amp;#x27;s deliciously frank mean-girling. Piper Chapman, Orange Is the New Black Right off the bat, we could tell Piper had solid in-crowd breeding oozing from every pore. And at Litchfield, she totally got her gossip-girl comeuppance when all her crap-talking came out on NPR. Mellie Grant, Scandal I would watch a whole Mellie Grant prequel consisting of her kneecapping eight-grade student council opponents, blackmailing people for prom-queen votes in high school and starting a female Skulls society in college. ABC, I&amp;#x27;m not kidding in the least. Can we talk about this? (P.S. Don&amp;#x27;t miss Phoebe&amp;#x27;s chat with Bellamy Young.) Jessa Johansson, Girls Marnie might be the obvious pick here, but no: I&amp;#x27;m thinking Jessa, she of the billowy skirts and devil-may-care &amp;#x27;tude, has a secret past of being an insufferable teenager. Tell me you can&amp;#x27;t see her calmly informing you that your boyfriend now belongs to her. Plus, did you forget that her last name is Johansson? I sure did. Based on the surname and location, I&amp;#x27;m guessing she&amp;#x27;s at least a second cousin of Scarlett&amp;#x27;s, which is enough cool-by-association to get you through nine middle-school lives. Chris Harrison, The Bachelor The Bachelorette I know he&amp;#x27;s a guy, but how can I not include him? Every new couple has to be approved by him, he makes a living kicking people out of house parties, and when he walks into a room everyone drops what they&amp;#x27;re doing and applauds him. He&amp;#x27;s the Regina George of reality TV. Speaking of Regina: check out the life lessons Mean Girls taught us. Happy October third!
