Mary Anne and Miss Priss! Part 2!
Oh, my gosh, my lovelies, I am so sorry for not getting this up sooner. I have no excuse. I was just playing Sims. And I wasn't even playing a BSC file so I don't even have any amusing screenshots. Plus they changed how to upload custom content so I was downloading a bunch of skins. But I found some great stuff for my BSC game which means I'll have

Good for MA for insisting on knowing where Mrs. P. would be. What a fucking AWFUL parent Mrs. P. is for trying to withhold this information!!
She also doesn't know what a storyboard is.
Not really so common knowledge back in the 90's. Before the days of YouTube and director's cuts and special features, this is the sort of thing that wasn't really known well.
And again, Ann has the BSC do things a parent should be doing by having Mary Anne stay with Jenny at her photo shoot while she takes Andrea to an audition.
I will never not be amazed at how hard the parents in these books try to get out of raising their own kids.
On Thursday, Mary Anne goes with Mrs P to be dropped off at the photographers.
Minors kinda need legal guardians with them for things like this. It's a liability issue.
Mary Anne and Jenny wait for Mr Gautier, the photographer.
No way, no how, would an adult male be allowed to have a couple minor girls without parents. Even male doctors have to have female nurses or medical assistants in the room when a female ADULT patient has any skin showing. The whole idea that "every many is a molester" (which is very obviously very wrong) goes back a ways.
As the day goes on, Jenny starts losing enthusiasm.
Sounds like it went on too long. Kids her age were only allowed to work (including head shots) for two hours a day. (Infants under 6 months can only "work" for 20 minutes, and be on a set a maximum of two hours, which is why dolls are used in many scenes, and twins are always preferred.)
By next Thursday, Jenny has booked a job for a department store in Hartford.
Job or audition? Sounds like she's only had auditions so far.
Mary Anne decides to talk it over at the next BSC meeting.
There was a time when this could have been an "emergency meeting of the Babysitters Club."
