By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting I was looking for something nostalgic to watch on YouTube when I came across a compilation of all the MyScene webisodes from 2000 to 2006. In my memory, MyScene was a goofy-looking web series about a group of fashionable late-teen girls (an Alternate Universe version of Barbie, Madison, Chelsea, Nolee, and Delancey) living it up in the Big Apple (New York City). Like many other … Continue reading [Rant] Revisiting MattelāsĀ MySceneĀ Webisodes: #MeanGirls
