California Girls! Part 1!

[road_baby]

Ladies, ladies, ladies! And any gents too. I've been meaning to do this snark for a while now because 1) I knew the places they mention. 2) I miss California alot. 3) Having been born in Southern California and living most my life there, I can call total bullshit on this stupid book. Seriously. Ann knows less about California than she does about

'I cut my foot before and my shoe is filling with blood.'--ROMY AND MICHELE! lol, love it!

Carol comes over and Dawn bitches that she smiles too much.--But if she never smiled and looked like a grump all the time, that'd be worth bitching about too. *rolls eyes*

Mal starts whining that all the girls are blondes and omg.--I sincerely wish somebody would talk to Mallory about her low self esteem. Have fun, Mallory! Let this be a vacation where you're not picking on yourself!

Carol really is a better person that I am. I'd let the girls stay in the house during their whole vacation. I swear I'd rather pull my own toenails off than be in a car with any of these girls. How many times would you try and be friendly with somebody, get blown off before you throw your hands up and say the hell with it? And you know Dawn is more than likely doing a piss poor job if she's even attempting to fake a smile or act cheerful around Carol.

Right? Like, just WHAT does Dawn want out of Carol? Is being pleasant really that annoying? I mean, okay, Carol is self-employed so it's not a biggie that she has her own schedule. But she's STILL taking time out of her day to make sure her boyfriend's daughter and her friends have a nice time. She didn't have to do that.

And when Dawn gets mad at her for suggesting Stacey take a beginner surf class or not telling Mal she shouldn't dye her hair is just stupid She didn't encourage Stacey to do something highly dangerous. It's just surfing. And uh, hello? Hypocrisy much? Dawn is friends with surfers. So, shut the Hell up. And not going against Mal's hair dye thing, she's not her MOTHER. How is Mal getting a temp dye job any different than Stacey using bleach to get lighter hair in the Sea City books? Hypocrisy is an ugly, ugly thing, Schafer.

Dawn being a vegetarian seemed to change throughout the books, maybe depending on which ghost writer it was? Sometimes she just doesn't eat red meat, sometimes she's a full vegetarian, sometimes they make her sound almost vegan. It was never consistent.

I hated the way Dawn treated Carol in these books. As someone who never acts "my age", it irritates me when I hear people say stuff like that. I guess according to Dawn I'm too old to be writing teen fiction, watching Disney movies, and collecting dolls, but oh well. She's such a bitch.

I guess I wasn't a "real California girl" either since I have dark hair and pale skin. I just plain don't like the sun and heat makes me physically ill, so I stay indoors a lot. Ann's stereotypes are so annoying.

As much as I hate Dawn, Mallory was definitely the worst in this book. Her whining, then pouting after being a complete moron, made me want to slap her.

Yeah, Dawn's diet seems to change from book to book. And she gradually got worse and worse about how superior she felt about it. And she got more and more whiny about it as time went on too. Like, she used to just be like 'ew' around food she didn't eat then went full banshee, screaming at people and throwing little bitch fits if someone dared to eat what she didn't approve of around her. I get a feeling that after so many books, the ghosties just got sick of writing this schlock and tried to make everyone as annoying as possible.

"What's up [Dawn's] gluten-free ass now?" This should be how all snarks start. They don't even have to be about Dawn, the line is just too perfect.
