Isn't this book actually the plot of To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar?

If Liz and Jess were actually drag queens, not only would the series be much more enjoyable, but our neuroses from them would be much more fabulous as well!

I'm from the Midwest, and would you believe we square dance every day? No? How about once a year in middle school gym? (Oh, and we all hated it. Stupid Illinois state dance.) The stereotypes! They ow!

Loved the recap, though.

Also from the Midwest. I don't square dance, but I'm baking an apple pie before I go milk my cow. I also grow my own corn, and my husband works in the fields to harvest it! Did Francine mean to set this in Arkansas in 1950? Freak.

Yes, but do\did you think Cali girls wore real diamonds on their freaky Elvis-type jumpsuits?

[amandahug_nkiss]

Of course they're real diamonds! Diamonds grow on trees in California...it's all the sunshine and the blue-green Wakefield-colored ocean.

New icon needed: "Resolution--Who needs it?"

ALEX IS NO JAMIE THAT'S FOR SURE. Hee.

Can you believe I remembered the white jumpsuit? Jeeeez.

Ha! I remember reading this as a young girl and trying very hard to wrap my brain around the mental image of a good looking white rhinestone jumpsuit. Even then, to no avail.

I can fully believe that Alice Wakefield fits into her daughters' clothes...but I still always envisioned her as a too-tan, trying-to-hard-to-look-like-a-teenager hag. You know, like the ones you see wearing "2 HAWT 4 U" shirts at the mall.

I never read this one and I don't think I own it yet...but this recap was hilarious. Especially the mental image of Jess in an Elvis jumpsuit. Did she hand out scarves to all of her admirers, too?

[svhhorseluvr]

The image of Jess handing out sweaty scarves to swooning boys (or lesbian girls) made me lol
