Hello cats and kittens!

Are you curious and creative, spunky yet sweet? Glam and
glitzy, but down-to-earth? Outspoken, but never rude? Do
you dig putting your uniqueness on display? Do you love
taking inspiration from the past while looking forward to

the future? If you answered YES to these

questions, then you are what I call a Pesky

Meddling Girl. And that, I’m proud to say,
is what I am too!

The LIFE IS A MOVIE STARRING YOU
game is created by and for Pesky Meddling

Girls like us! This game is for every girl who
knows that life isn’t about sitting in the audience—it’s
about being up on your own silver screen! And every time
you play it, you learn new things about yourself, and your
friends, too.

It all began one night when a magical mantra came
to me in a dream: Life Is a Movie Starring
Me! It was a totally empowering revelation.
Life is not a dress rehearsal. You are the

director, writer, music coordinator, costumer…and, most of
all, STAR! So now you have the Pesky power, it’s prime
time to play the game. You write the script, hold the

casting call, choose the wardrobe, and conduct the
audition!

I’ll tell you a story: Back in school, I tried way too hard to
be cool, not realizing that the coolest girl on this planet
was living right inside my heart. Now all I had to do was
find her. So, at sixteen, I started searching for a creative
outlet, a place to explore my inner voice and share my
passion for fashion and opinions with other girls. I had
always dreamed of becoming editrix-in-chief of my very
own magazine, so I started a fanzine. (A fanzine, or ’zine,
is a homemade, cut and paste, collaged magazine,
duplicated on any copy machine. Anyone can do it!)

My ’zine needed a killer title, so I flipped through the
dictionary. I came across two wacky words that had almost
identical meanings: Pesky and Meddling, which were both
equally nosy and annoyingly curious. Sounded purrfect!

in a sparkly pink nutshell. Pretty soon my ’zine was a hit not
only at my school, but real celebs started ordering issues. My
dream had come true!

What do you want to be when you grow up?’’ is a question
we all hear often as kids, but it doesn’t have to be about what
we’re going to become in the future. We can be it right now!

Once you’ve caught a glimpse of your own life’s story line,
mark your clapboard, roll up those sequined sleeves, roll out
that imaginary red carpet, and remember…it’s always going
to be your name up on that glowing marquee, and it’s always
going to be your feet on life’s glittering walk of fame. No more
waiting in the wings! Because after all, LIFE IS A MOVIE
STARRING YOU…and I wish you a very happy ending.

Let the glammy game begin!
