Sushi With My Girls is website dedicated to Sushi. Not just the type of Asian cuisine, but the fictional adjective that some Long Island girls use to describe their lifestyle…I guess.
I actually didn’t know that Sushi had become anything other than a noun until just this moment when someone directed me to the site. What I discovered there was wholly disheartening…
As of now the site is not much more than a made-up definition and a list of 99 things “that are sushi.” Here is a nice little excerpt just to give you a taste of what you’re in for:
11. Post graduation city options- New York or LA- That’s it!
12. Law school for guys- followed by jobs that require at least 100 hour work weeks- complaining about the hours (standard) but zero chance you’ll leave. Same applies for banking! (You justify it by telling people you’re learning a ton…)
13. Law school for girls- Great place to meet a LAWYER!
14. Agency Training in LA- Ari Gold is your hero (Daddy is making payments on your beamer because you make 28k a year but HAVE to fit in at Trousdale)
15. PR for girls (editor’s note: what in the world is a career in PR? What does Ali do all day?- I’m sure it’s A-mazing)
16. Exclamation points!!! (With everything, not just when something is exclamation worthy!!!)
17. Smiley faces.
18. Handbags- at least one for every day of the week.
19. First apartment in NYC- The Caroline or Windsor Court
What has this world come to? It pains me to see such an abundance of materialism, narcissism, and gluttony in my generation. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about the Long Island lifestyle – I know how to cut loose with the best of them, and I love splurging on myself every once in a while – but this is much too much. I’m seriously appalled by a few things on that list.
So, what’s my verdict? I hate everything this site represents with a passion, but for some reason I feel unusually drawn to go back when they post the breakdown of the Sushi 12 schools. Damn the uncontrollable appeal of fantastical and extravagant lifestyles!
