Lucy got Regina, Star got Blair, Andrew got Rizzo, and Lisa got A Bee (&#8220;No one could exist with out you youre always the center of attention and you deserve it. You are a great leader and endlessly loyal to your followers, which makes you a true gem&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>How many Queen Bees can you name? Here are some common qualities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Power and influence over other women and men (but especially women)<\/li>\n<li>Cunning, manipulative<\/li>\n<li>Attractive<\/li>\n<li>Wealthy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A real Queen Bee creates most, if not all the bees in her hive. There can never be two Queens in a hive, and an &#8220;old&#8221; Queen will fight the up and coming &#8220;new&#8221; Queen to the death. The Queen Bee doesn&#8217;t have a barbed stinger &#8211; she can sting over and over again. The worker bees feed the Queen royal jelly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want royal jelly so bad.&#8221; &#8211; Lisa<\/p>\n<p>Joan Crawford&#8217;s character in\u00a0<em>Queen Bee\u00a0<\/em>(1955) fits the role perfectly. She is powerful, beautiful, manipulative, and wealthy. One of the most interesting aspects of her character is the power in her female sexuality. Not only can she manipulate and control men with it, but she can also bring down the women of the Phillip&#8217;s house with the same power. She controls the other women&#8217;s sexuality (arranging and dressing Jen for her date with Ty) and can ruin them completely by sexually overpowering them and their men (Carol&#8217;s suicide).<\/p>\n<p>List the Queen Bees you know. Here is my list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Regina George (Mean Girls)<\/li>\n<li>Eva (Queen Bee)<\/li>\n<li>Rizzo (Grease)<\/li>\n<li>Alison (Pretty Little Liars)<\/li>\n<li>Taylor Vaughan (She\u2019s All That)<\/li>\n<li>Bianca Stratford (10 things I hate about you)<\/li>\n<li>Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada<\/li>\n<li>Josie (Josie and the Pussycats)<\/li>\n<li>Tom Tom (13 Going On 30)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And which one are you?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We spent all of class on Thursday dissecting the Queen Bee.
