I must say, I particularly remember this edition of BSC because one of the boys in my class lent it to me and I never gave it back. I still have it.

I remember the Merry-Go-Round! It doesn't exist anymore, but I actually remember seeing one of the stores at this mall when I was eight and still living in Florida.

2010-01-04T17:31:04.065-05:00

I actually think the creepiest thing about this guy is the fact that he appears to be about 40 years old and is dating a 13 year old.

In the words of Claudia- Oh my lord. I just discovered this blog, and between your shoes and dissing on the good old BSC, I may have developed the slightest girl crush.

And on another Claudia related note, I once DID dress as her... not for Halloween, but for some kind of school book day event... I remember painting various vegetables on an oversized t-shirt, and wearing it with purple tights, 3 pairs of different colored, layered socks, and sneakers. Probably with some rather scary accessories. And no one had any idea who I was (I must have been channelling poor, nerdy, Mal).
Thanks for the new addiction ;)

Definitely the best post on here ever.

Yes. If he had a walkman, it would be playing Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall.

2009-09-06T11:36:03.045-04:00

I agree with HelenB. At first I thought he was gay, but then as he got more and more controlling about what she should wear (and why?? I don't understand his motivation!), I'm convinced he's one of those abusive boyfriends who tells his girlfriend how to look.

2009-08-27T16:08:43.903-04:00

LOL, when Travis suggested to Dawn that she get her hair cut, I thought of the scene in "The Brady Bunch" movie when the modeling agent told Marcia to drop 30 lbs and get her hair cut.

*SLAP!* "Cut my HAIR?!"

2009-08-21T11:39:55.307-04:00

Showing my age, but Merry-Go-Round was a real store back then, not a BSC invention. It was THE place to get the craziest of crazy height of fashion at the mall. If you ever saw a video and wondered "where would they even BUY something like that?!" the answer was most likely Merry Go Round.

"Upstairs, I took a quick shower and spent th...

2009-08-20T23:01:09.027-04:00

"Upstairs, I took a quick shower and spent the next hour fiddling with my hair and makeup. I decided that I wanted to look casual (but gorgeous!) and finally settled on a pale blue ten-button top [I'm getting 'henley' from this description] with my favorite jeans."

How many clothes did this girl pack for a one night sleepover?? Or are we really to believe she raided Kristy's closet?

Now, I can see Claudia packing multiple outfits, but Dawn? Really?

Also, this is by far my favorite post. :)

2009-08-19T16:19:53.125-04:00

Just to let you know, I'm waiting for you to one day visit that Super Special where they go on the cross-country roadtrip in RVs. It doesn't need to happen soon but it does eventually need to happen, otherwise I'll never feel any closure about the garage sale my family had when I was 13 that purged me of my BSC books.
If I remember correctly, there's an illustration of Claudia dancing with a potbellied man in it. Also she gets in the most massively awesome fight with Stacey throughout the majority of the giant vogue-sized book. You gotta know what I'm talking about.

2009-08-19T06:19:05.758-04:00

UM flight suits?

I also had to google image search them...totally didn't realise they were actually, well... suits for flight. Could anyone seriously be babe in a flight suit? Oh and like claudia would ever stoop that low to wear one Dawn. And that's so not New York sophisticated either...lame D

I think I'm going to claim best post ever here Kim.

Found this blog a few days ago and have just finished reading through the archives. BRILLIANT STUFF, I loved me some BSC back in the day. Obviously I loved Claudia, had to rep my Asian sistah.

I hope this blog lives a long net-life. YOU ARE AMAZING, KIM, KEEP IT UP.

I just heard about this blog a few days ago, and let me tell you that it is the best thing ever. Oh my god, I was cracking up at work like nobody's business. What a brilliant topic. Reminds me of summers spent reading BSC books non-stop with my cousin and cracking on them back then. Sigh :)

2009-08-13T21:34:06.022-04:00

I am currently attempting to re-read all of the baby-sitters club books before summer ends. This is the perfect compliment to reading them... very nice.

Yes! SO GAY.

2009-08-13T16:36:57.078-04:00

Yes! SO GAY.

now hipster douchebags that are skeptical when i tell them that this is pretty much the most hilarious blog ever (and that reading the babysitters club as an adult is both appropriate and way more hilarious than reading them in the 80s was) have venus to tell them it is OK to look. :)

oh yeah. i forgot. most of said hipster douchebags that I am referring to do not exactly really remember the 80's. if they did they'd remember that leggings with lace on the bottom as pants was completely white trash even back then.

2009-08-11T14:46:40.160-04:00

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this brilliance. This is one of my all-time favorite books and you captured it bee-yoo-tee-fully. I was fortunate not to be eating or drinking, as my computer would be drenched in Diet Coke, but it's now certain from my cackles that my boss knows I'm not working. ;-) Brava.

As far as serial killers go, considering the weird situation with his girlfriend, I thought more of this guy:

I always wondered why Dawn had enough clothes at a sleepover to be able to "settle on" something.

"I think he should always wear brown. Because he is full of it."

Thank you, my laptop is now wearing an attractive smattering of coffee.

Is it sad that I got so excited over the prospect of a possible re-enactment of these bitches? I previously commented saying I so got to be Claud, but I've since realised I'm not Japanese nor American, so I can't be. As the non-rascist Ann M. Martin or whichever smacked-up ghost writer so pointedly repeated that they did not care about. At least not beyond mentioning it in every Chapter 2 and god forbid they forgot to mention Jessi being a neat black girl...
Oh yes. I forgot where I was for a moment. Not the nineties, apparently though my bumming around home outfit today of leggings and an oversized jumper/sweatshirt depending where you come from would beg to differ.
I know this is a long and pointless comment. I'm just mad because my brother eats suspiciously like Claudia and is also not fat. I bet he stole one of my BSC books & is channeling her DAMNIT.
I'm quiet now. I swear :)
ps. Sorry in advance for the dumb ass comment.
