WTF.
Until recently I worked with teens, and they were fairly wild/crazy teen girls who told me a fair bit about their exploits--and nothing ever got as exciting as that. I don't think any of them would know what a rainbow or lipstick party is. I think, like ng said, it's a myth perpetuated in order to get parents to actually talk to thier children about sex.

Slight threadjack, but you reminded of something we do with my daughter: every time she gets up from the table to go to the bathroom, we ask her if she's making 'room' for the rest of dinner, ie;throwing up. She'll yell, 'I'm NOT bulimic!!' and we all crack up.
I think if parents bring up issues in a light enough manner, it makes it much easier to talk about-using stupid myths and stereotypes is a good way to start.
