Stylish Stuy?

Seems Stefani Greenfield, the founder of the ultra-trendy Scoop boutique chain, is a Stuyvie. The NY Observer reports:

"Like most Manhattan adolescents, she roundly rejected cheerleader chic. 'Stuyvesant was not about looking polished; it was all about being funky cool,' Ms. Greenfield said. 'I was like Cyndi Lauper met Madonna—you know, when she was in the ‘Borderline’ video or the ‘Lucky Star’ video. I mean, she was literally starting out. I mean, we all like knew her from Danceteria.'"

While it's true that Stuyvesant isn't about "looking polished," I don't think it's about "being funky cool" either, at least for most people there, or at least when I was there.
