Cyn (Cynthia)

Cyn (Cynthia)/ “Working Girl”
(Joan Cusack)

You’ve gotta love a best friend who’ll cut your high-top, New Jersey mall hair (the exact coif she has herself and doesn’t see anything wrong with it) upon your request. The friend who thinks that a dress worth $3,000 should have lots of bows or should be made out of leather. The friend who’ll stay up all night listening to your ex-boyfriend—who cheated on you—lament about how he’s angry with you because you won’t give him another chance. The friend who sometimes likes to sing and dance in her underwear but knows that doesn’t make her Madonna. The friend who only wants “happy people” around her (especially since she’s getting married). The friend who’ll pretend to be your secretary to help you pull off some stunt to convince your future boyfriend you’re some big shot at the company. The friend who drops the phone, screams and tells everyone around her that you’re no longer a secretary, that you really on your way to becoming a company big shot. And the friend who couldn’t love you more, be happier for or be more proud of you.
