30 is the new 20

Posted by Joshua Glenn March 27, 2008 09:01 PM

I'm embarking on another hiatus from blogging about my theory of American generations. Before I go, though, here's a photo I've just found that features young actresses from three different generations:

From left to right, that's Michelle Trachtenberg (1985: Millennial), Sarah Michelle Gellar (1977: Netter), and Shannen Doherty (1971: PCer). Each lovelier than the next!

PS: I'm not taking a break from blogging! Just blogging about generations. For now.

Have a good weekend...
