It's been a decade since the chick flick hit theaters but the rave about "Mean Girls" still seems to be on. In fact, even the stars of the 10-year old movie are also noting its anniversary!

Bustle reports that Daniel Franzese, the actor who played Damian in the film, retweeted a lot of "#DranFranFans." In a tweet, the actor said, "Gonna be a lot of #MeanGirls RTs today. Its #MeanGirls10thAnniversary and #DanFranFans are giving a lot of love. It means so much! xo DF."

As for Cady Heron, Lindsay Lohan tweets, "as far back as i can remember, i always wanted to be a mean girl... xo L #meangirls10thanniversay."

Meanwhile, Gretchen Wieners of "Mean Girls" got a custom-made toaster from Toaster Strudel. The pink and white appliance bears the message: "The Inventor of Toaster Strudel IS PLEASED to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of MeanGirls." Lacey Chabert tweeted, "Thx @ToasterStrudel for the gift! SO relieved that my father is pleased about the #MeanGirls anniversary! #toastyad."

Another Plastic, Amanda Seyfried who played Karen Smith, reminded followers on Twitter, "On Wednesdays we wear pink."

The Queen Bee, Rachel McAdams, recalls how she had to internalize her role as Regina George. Quoted by The New York Times, the actress said, "At the heart of Regina George was a really angry kid who had no boundaries or guidance. [Director Mark Waters] told me to listen to Courtney Love really loud, and to watch Alec Baldwin in 'Glengarry Glen Ross.'"

According to The New York Times, the actress was quite surprised that "Mean Girls" actually clicked though she was admittedly sold out on the script right after she read it. "When you're making something, you kind of have no concept of it. But this was the script that made me call my manager halfway through and say, 'I will play any part in this.' Tina hit a nerve about girl politics, but in a nonconfrontational way," the outlet quotes McAdams.

Tina Fey, the screenwriter and at the same time, Sharon Norbury of "Mean Girls," says that the movie was actually based on the self-help book "Queen Bees and Wannabes" by Rosalind Wiseman. "I revisited high school behaviors of my own - futile, poisonous, bitter behaviors that served no purpose. That thing of someone saying 'You're really pretty' and then, when the other person thanks them, saying, 'Oh, so you agree? You think you're pretty?'" she told The New York Times.

As noted by the outlet, the story of "Mean Girls" is indeed still "a relevant pop-culture reference point and a go-to source of shorthand for female - and human - dynamics," even after 10 years.
