Column: American ego check
(02/14/03 5:00am)
Guess what I did last week? I auditioned for ABC's newest reality show, a televised search for the All-American Girl. I thought my mediocre talent in a number of areas would make me an eligible representative of America's women - I mean - girls, and that with airtime to myself I could bring an enlightened perspective on girlhood to pop culture, talk a bit about self-image and send the message that brainpower is real power. (Okay, so part of me just wanted to be the next Britney Spears.)
