Violet & Claire, Faith & Buffy
It's all melymbrosia's fault that I was superimposing Faith & Buffy on Francesca Lia Block's Violet & Claire even before I started reading. But even if I'd gone into the book with no such predisposition, there's a passage that would still have made me think of "Bad Girls":There is nothing so good almost as dancing with a great girl dancer. It seems so much more natural than dancing with some stiff guy who won't look you in the eye. If he's shy he'll watch the walls and if he's an asshole he'll ogle your tits, but a great girlfriend dancer will look at you with the knowledge that between you, you are weaving a magic circle where music and beauty live. She will not be afraid of any expression of power. She will say to you with her eyes, "This is our spell we are casting."
I liked this book a lot.
