The Unicorn Club #6 - The Unicorns at War

[dirtywingsgirl]

In which The Unicorn Club is split down the middle in the war of the century. The girls’ purple army fatigues remain perfectly fitted as their unicorn-shaped grenades explode in the sparkly glitter brawl to end all glitter brawls.  Oh yeah, and this is the last Unicorn Club book in which Elizabeth is a member. Whoopee!

“I am sorry that you had to be the victim of such underhanded campaign shenanigans”.
You know a book is crazy when the background characters start calling shenanigans.

Good luck with the music. I don't have a myspace or I'd befriend you!

[dirtywingsgirl]

Naww thank you! Also, you might already know this, but you can view the Myspace page/listen to the songs even if you're not a Myspace member (*the more you know* floats across your screen). It's better than Melody Powers! Oh who am I kidding. Nobody's better than Melody Powers.

Nobody's better than Melody Powers.

Damn straight! Ohhh, you meant the singer. :p

Awesome recap!

Ned Wakefield. Even his own children know he’s useless.

Bwahaha! This should totally be on his business cards.

Kimberly was always super competitive with her about everything - clothes, boys, grades, etc.

Kimberly cared about grades?

Actually, come to that, Kimberly cared about Mary? I thought Mary was a nameless non-Unicorn in those days?

what’s with all the Ellen hating, Mary?
I CAN'T go to Taco Bell, I have A CAMPAIGN TO RUN!!!! You're so stupid, Ellen!!!

Re off-campus lunch privileges: we were allowed to do it in my final year of high school (and I think even that got cancelled the year after us because there were some big-ass troublemakers in my year.) Fucking MIDDLE SCHOOL?! Uh, no.

Kimberly immediately says “It’s longer than yours now”.

WHY DOES SHE EVEN CARE?!?!?!

Kimberly is also sporting a pink satin “Unicorns” jacket already

I really want her to say that Mary is too pure to be Pink.

Kimberly is miffed to discover some non-Unicorns sitting with the club.

I'd be miffed about having to sit with Saint Elizabeth too.

“What issues do you think Lois Waller is going to run on?” Elizabeth asked. “Better food in the cafeteria?”

[dirtywingsgirl]

Kimberly cared about grades?
Haha, good pickup! Funny because Mary did actually mention that Kimberly only seemed to care about grades when it came to competing with her.

“What issues do you think Lois Waller is going to run on?” Elizabeth asked. “Better food in the cafeteria?” Evie said, raising one eyebrow humourously. In spite of ourselves, Maria, Elizabeth and I laughed”.

Ladies and gentlemen, the nice Unicorns!

It's like they all took a bath in the fountain of hypocrisy.

[perfectsize12]

Yeah, she’s not rude to your face. She just smiles politely, then steals your boyfriend/cheats on her own boyfriend/snoops in your bidness/hypocrites all over the place/condescendingly shoulder-pats your ethnic friend.

*Shaking with laughter*
Especially over the condescendingly shoulder-pats your ethnic friend!

[dirtywingsgirl]

haha thank you!
I must admit I always laugh my head off while writing recaps!
..Not in a self-congratulatory "ha-ha-ha! i'm so funny" fatcat way, it just always dawns on me how absurd Sweet Valley is..
does anyone else do that?

[perfectsize12]

Yes!!! I laugh myself silly when I write recaps. My husband can always tell when I'm recapping. I start giggling like a maniac!

[dirtywingsgirl]

Haha it's good to know I'm not the only one...
I can totally relate to that, one time I got in complete hysterics writing a babysitters recap and my boyfriend was just like "i don't understand..why is it so funny that she's black?". I guess you had to read the books to get the hilarity :D

[julieannie]

I remember when I first bought this book how horribly dressed Jessica was on the cover.

[dirtywingsgirl]

Truly! Is she going horse riding? And ugh, is that a jumpsuit??

[sporadicfungian]

the thing i remember most about this book is that they used to call kimberly the spoon, because she liked to stir up trouble.

[dirtywingsgirl]

*mumbles gross joke about kimberly forking all the dudes*
