“	Were Jenny Brier and her friends dressed like 30-something-year-old women, or were we trying to look like teenagers? One of us was sending Dom Perignon, while another was touring around New York on a scooter. When you're a teenager, all you want to do is buy beer. But once you hit 30, all you want to do is get carded. I wondered, in today's youth obsessed culture, are the women of my generation growing into mature responsible adults, or are we 34 going on 13?	”
	— Carrie
