The Valley Girl Effect. BTW, that Valley Girl accent has spread from the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles to the rest of the country. Now MILLIONS of women sound like Valley Girls.
OMG have you seen Courtney Friel in that slot on weekends? she is an ATROCITY! she is gorgeous, no way around that, but she is as empty headed as they come and Greg Kelly has all he can do to keep his tongue in his mouth and not drool on her when sitting next to her. she needs to be put on the entertainment beat and kept out of those anchor chairs, she cannot articulate an unscripted thought!

You know, I don’t know that much about Valley Girls, but I have been wondering if that is the culprit for the way so many women speak now, and since you mention the spread, I’m thinking that may be it. How could this most annoying way of talking have appeared everywhere in just a few years? It drives me up the wall, whatever it is. Why can’t they just speak normally? It’s an almost fake rasp, like they are swallowing their words or something, talking about their BAST FRANDS. The best example is the 800 PAT MADS woman. Gretchen has quite a bit of it, Kimberly Guilfoyle is absolutely unlistenable with it, as is the body language woman - why can’t they make these women learn to speak normally? It makes me scream, it makes me change the channel, it makes me want to choke them. What is it? (By the way, E.D. Hill doesn’t have it - I really like her because she is very natural and relaxed, few of the women are.)
