Overview

Some girls got it and some girls don’t. Materialism that is. They’re the fashionistas, the influencers, the girls who worship at the altar of the Kardashians. The girls who think they have everything they need to succeed in life – but do they? As Tiffany and her material girl – and guy – friends get ready to graduate high school, they start to realize there might be more to life than finding the perfect lip gloss and the most glittery eye shadow, but is it too late to make a change? Penny doesn’t think so. With her help, Tiffany and her fashion victim friends, might just discover they have other options to succeed in the material world.
