Welcome to the first installment of STARGIRL Auditions: Sydney Sweeney! We evaluate Sydney's potential to become an era-defining actress and sex symbol, and dig into some Paglia-informed ideas about the power of vacant women. Also discussed: AirPod bodies, Maddy vs. Cassie in HBO's Euphoria, and the recent embrace of Americana and GOP aesthetics more generally.
