Party’s Over
Regina George x Reader
Summary: Where Regina ends her own party for her cramping lover
Words: 1,1k
A/N: Is it noticeable I’m having period cramps and need some comfort from the prettiest (and meanest) queen bee of all? I hope not
As the night went on, Y/N couldn’t believe how many more people could crash into her girlfriend’s party. To say the house was full would be an understatement. She sipped on her solo cup, something she could not pinpoint, even if her life depended on it, and searched for Regina with her eyes.
Spotting the blonde head among the croud was easy, though, she could recognize the girl with her eyes closed. She was talking with some people, standing confident in her beautiful maroon dress – it hugged her soft curves perfectly –, her signature smirk adorning her crimson lips and she gently flipped her hair off her shoulder.
Y/N smiled to herself, feeling lucky to have such a wonderful girlfriend. But it faltered quickly as she felt the pressure she knew way too well right at the bottom of her belly. It wasn’t surprising, giving the ache she felt on her lower back since the moment she woke up.
“Fuck.” She mumbles, walking off towards a bathroom to make sure she didn’t just start her period. She didn’t, which was good, as she sighs in relief. Washing her hands and splashing a bit of cold water on her neck, she embraces herself ready to play it cool for a few more hours, not wanting to ruin the party for her girl.
“Hey, I was looking for you. Everything ok?” Regina asks when she finds her, hands gingerly resting or her waist. “Yeah, I’m good. Just went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit.” Y/N smiles, placing her own hands on the blonde’s shoulders.
“Good. Come here, I have a few people I’d like to introduce you.” She responds, kissing her girlfriend quickly before pulling her by the hand to a small group of peers.
To be honest, Y/N did a fairly good job of play pretend for two hours, but it was starting to get to her. The cramps were just getting stronger, making her whole body achy and tense. But she kept her facade as better as she could, not willing to spoil Regina’s fun, knowing she would drop everything to make sure she was fine.
They were now sitting outside by the pool, an array of chairs and couches, talking animatedly with everyone else. I mean, most likely Regina talked and Y/N just agreed and nodded along, smiling every now and then.
When a strong cramp came, she scrunched her face and pressed on the pillow covering her stomach. The blonde must have felt how her body tensed under the hand she had on her girlfriend’s thighs ‘cause she turned her head, a concerned look on her eyes as she looked in hers.
“What’s wrong, baby?” She whispered, her thumb caressing soft shapes where it rested. “It’s nothing, don’t worry.” Y/N tried reassuring, but it wasn’t as convencing as the previous times. Sensing her discomfort, Regina excuses both of them and walks away to a more secluded area, hand now on the small of her partner’s back.
“Wanna try again and tell me what’s bothering you?” She asks softly, looking down with honeyed eyes. Y/N sighs and relents. “It’s just cramps. I have them a few days before my period also. Nothing too bad, I promise.” Right after she ends her sentence, another wave of piercing pain stabs at her womb, making her fold and frown.
“Oh, I can see that.” Her girlfriend says, sarcastically, but sighs, concerned. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I would’ve got you some painkillers and a hot water bottle, maybe also put you to bed.” “Thay’s exactly why.” She furrows her eyebrowns, confused. “I didn’t want you to step out of your own party just to take care of me.”
“That’s nonsense. Baby, I would drop everything to take care of you, gladly.” She takes the shorter girl’s cheek on her hands, soft but firm, to prove her point. “You’re my girlfriend and I love you. Of course taking care of you and making sure you’re ok is my priority. Not some silly party that wouldn’t be as joyful if you weren’t with me, ok?”
Y/N couldn’t help but tear up a bit, but she blamed her hormones. “Okay.” She agreed quietly. Regina smiles, leaning in for a brief but passionate kiss, trying to show all of her love and care through it.
“Now, come on, let’s get you upstairs. Somewhere quieter and confier.” And holding hands, they both walk up Regina’s room. She sat her girlfriend in her bed and then rummages through her closet for comfortable clothes she could wear.
“Here, love. Change into these while I go downstairs to grab you some medicine and put an end to the noise.” She hands her the pile of clothes. “You don't have to end the party just because of me, Gina. I can rest just fine.” She frowns. “Don’t be silly. I’m coming back to cuddle you so there’s no reason to keep randos in my house. So stay put, I’ll be right back.”
She leaves, closing the door and Y/N can’t help but smile like a school girl over her affectionate lover. She changes clothes, relaxing breathing Regina’s perfume on them. She also puts a pad on, just in case her period comes while she sleeps – she’d die of embarrassement if she bleeds on her girl’s bed.
The noise disappears quickly, Y/N can hear the commotion of people leaving and a faint voice of her girlfriend shouting. In about ten minutes, she returns, bearing meds, water and snacks.
“I have no idea where my mom put our water bag and my heating pad broke, so I’m sorry.” “Gina, it’s okay! This is more than I could ask for, thank you.” “Only the best for my baby.” She smiles and walks over to the bed, giving her partner a few pills and the water.
The hurting girl drinks half the water bottle and nibs on the snacks so her stomach wouldn’t be so upset because of the meds and alcohol she consumed.
“There you go. You should rest now. I’m sure you'll be feeling better tomorrow.” She fluff the pillows and covers her sweet girl with the thick duvet before climbing in bed herself (now in her sleep attire).
She scooches closer, tangling their legs as she holds her tight against her chest, kissing her head lovingly.
“Thank you for taking such good care of me, Gina.” Y/N whispers, face nuzzling oh the blonde’s neck. “Of course, baby. You don’t even have to thank me. I’d do it over and over again, just for you.” She responds, one hand scratching her girlfriend’s scalp while the other held her as close as possible.
“I love you.” Y/N says, feeling relaxed, loved and safe. “I love you, too, princess. Sleep tight, I’ll be here when you wake up.” Regina whispers, kissing her temple tenderly.
And just like that, they both fell asleep in each other’s arms, secured in a cocoon built with pure love and care.
A/N: I had to take matters into my own hands. I could not go any longer without more fanfictions of my favorite blonde. Hope you guys liked it! <3

So I wanted to write about the different fashion in the Mean Girls movies and how the character's fashion has evolved. I couldn't really believe it when everybody called the 2024's Mean Girls shein girls, ugly and cheap, etc.
So I watched the original Mean Girls again :D and finally saw the musical version. And sadly, all of you were right. Who would have thought... :D
I read interviews with the costume designer, who did both movies (2004 and 2024), and kind of went with the same strategy for both movies: They wanted to represent high school girls realistically and thus, wanted them to wear clothes that would be worn by real girls at the time. For the first one they went vintage shopping, added some designer bags and custom made some of the clothes, all of the prom dresses and the halloween outfits. But besides their bags, which are mostly Louis Vuitton, and the Burberry plaid skirt worn by Gretchen with her Punk-shirt, I couldn't really find any more designer clothes...? So it's not like they were dressed head to toe in designer throughout the whole movie; this could not really be the reason why the original one looked better.
So I thought maybe the clothes just looked more expensive (the "R"-necklace from Regina e.g.) in the original movie and this is why everyone was critiquing the clothes from the musical version. There they also went for a mix of standard everyday clothes (Good American, Cider, ASOS, and Ganni on the higher end spectrum of that category) and some designer shoes and bag (pink Valentino pumps (although they looked a bit cheap), and this time more Versace than Louis Vuitton bags).
E.g., Regina George: part of her allure is her unattainability, which is represented by her clothes (and living in a mansion), wearing designer brands no one can really afford at school (although used sparsely throughout the movies), but more importantly it's her whole aura. Her clothes help her get that but she also just exudes some kind of it factor. The 2024 film included more of the actresses' personal style, so Regina is definitely a more cool, less feminine version than the 2004 Regina because Renee Rapp wanted to reflect that. And Renee Rapp is definitely cool, charismatic and confident, so I had a hard time with her not really pulling off the clothes, although they fit her, but they looked weird on her and I couldn't ignore it. Renee can pull off preppy style like Leighton's from Sex Lives of College Girls, so she definitely can make clothes look good even if they are not her personal style. This is not the problem!!
Long story short, it must be the clothes. Clothes are just made from cheaper materials nowadays (all the transparent mesh shirts and the pink corset look just cheap in the 2024 film), the life cycle is supposed to be shorter and materials disintegrate after washing them repeatedly. Although they are produced in large amounts, which reduces the production costs, brands just increase the profit margin, not making the clothes in better quality instead. Mina Le did a good video on this topic, using the debate about the wool sweater worn by Billy Crystal as Harry from When Harry Met Sally and the reimagining of Ben Schwartz from last year to compare the quality of clothes, particularly of wool sweaters.
To conclude, although the strategy of the costume designer seems to have been the same for both movies, she didn't really take into account that the general quality of clothes declined since 2004. So the same brands respectively today's brands that compare to their 2004 counterparts from a financial standpoint are not necessarily the same quality anymore. They probably needed to move one to two price points up the ladder...One reason is trends that were not there in 2004, e.g. mesh and lace do not look good when it is cheaper polyester what you only find with brands like Cider. So by keeping up with the fashion trends they would have to look at other brands. Which would be brands that middle class teens (those in Mean Girls) probably cannot afford to shop at all the time...
The costume designer should have just opted for an even more unattainable look and really dressed the plastics in high end quality clothes throughout the whole movie, going really over the top. It's a fricking musical it's what would have been expected. They already redid it as a movie, just because they wanted to, so just go buy or rent good quality high end designers to amplify Regina Georges status!!
The new mean girls movie really is Do Revenge (2022) and not Mean Girls (2024) - the latter really is just the shein version!
What do you think?
