WOMAN VERSUS GIRL

The ultimate showdown

The contrast between what constitutes a "woman" and a "girl" has traditionally been a subject of great debate. It's a debate that dates back to a certain voyage in a particular silver Honda Civic. Headed for "town", Mandie Richard and Sarah Tyrrell discussed the ins-and-outs of womanhood versus girlhood and the fine line that cuts between these two states of "being".

The foundation of this discussion lay with two specific examples: Denise Antle and Sarah Tyrrell. What is perhaps even more interesting about these conclusions is Mandie's limited exposure to the woman that is Denise Antle - but by Mandie's criteria she was no doubt a woman.

What follows is a comprehensive list of womanhood versus girlhood elements in the context of 105 Walthen Drive.
