The Unicorn Club #8 - Kimberly Rides Again

Jul 23, 2010 04:47

As you might have guessed from the title, Kimberly narrates this book. When I was a kid I religiously bought every one of the Unicorn Club books, which if I’m not mistaken, came out every other month. Which perhaps should have said something to me about their quality, but I digress. Anyway, I thought it was really weird when this one came out ( Read more... )

Princess Lila is dissatisfied with the straw-filled mattresses, I thought you’d all like to know.
i would be too! what is this, 1800?

You get extra win points for the "fabio-style" reference. ILU.

ALSO! Yesterday I was searching Threadless and I got REALLY EXCITED because I saw this purple Unicorn shirt and I thought "OMG! I have to tell everyone at 1bruce1 to buy this." But then I realized it says this would look cooler if I were riding a unicorn not "this would look cooler if I were a unicorn", which is what I thought initially. Sigh. Maybe we could still buy them and cross out the riding with permanent marker.

Yeah, I don't know why it would be so hard to get regular mattresses. Even when I went to camp, we had those hospital-style mattresses, which, while not entirely comfortable, were certainly better than straw.

And those shirts are amazing! Sadly it looks like they're all sold out except for one shirt in kids' size 8...so...maybe a prize for 1bruce1's smallest member, whoever that may be? I do think we should have t-shirts, though.

I've thought about the shirt thing, in detail. It'd have to be community based, because I don't want to get sued by Francine Pascal. I'd never live down the shame.

Like this (Isn't that image of a Porsche in front of that ocean the same color as the Wakefield twins's eyes just perfect? (It says "paper cups come standard" underneath if that's too small to read. I amuse myself.)

ETA: I also started a zazzle store and made shirts that said "1bruce1: Where it's always rape o'clock" and they shut me down for being inappropriate. I was devastated.

I've had this urge to make an SVPD shirt for ages, but I've been too lazy/don't really know how. Big blue letters that say SVPD and a police badge that incorporates a pictre of a donut, or something.

No Elizabeth? Wow. :O

Actually, it makes this a fun recap wondering what Saint Elizabeth might say or do. Actually, probably let Jessica walk all over her like a doormat and go around making sure nobody got hurt riding a horse. :P

Probably. I bet she'd be out there saving Kimberly, despite Kimberly hating her and constantly treating her like crap and the fact that she would've known all along that going after Herbert was a bad idea.

You totally win for your Empire Records references!

Thanks!

Also, your icon is mesmerizing.

Hehe I love the video that it's from, and it's how i got my lj name too.

Okay, I just googled that, and now I will be singing it for the rest of the night.

Great recap! mawee04 July 23 2010, 21:27:32 UTC

For the line-dancing, are there other people present or is it just the Unicorns+Herbert?

Re: Great recap! redacted July 24 2010, 00:23:21 UTC

Thanks!

I should have clarified, everyone at the resort is dancing. It was sort of like a western-style Club Med, with all kinds of scheduled activities for the guests.

Re: Great recap! mawee04 July 24 2010, 17:53:18 UTC

Thanks for the clarification! I only ever read one Unicorns book.

The Unicorn Club #8 - Kimberly Rides Again

SEX IN MY SWEET VALLEY?! NO WAI!!!! ...Oh.

I wonder if Margot is actually her last name, or if it’s some kind of colloquial thing. Or if she’s somehow related to Crazy Margo.
Well, they did spell her name as "Margot" in Sweet 18...

She also says...that none of the other Unicorns are very good at riding, but she is.
*another immature giggling fit*

Herbert’s basically like “um, yeah,” and continues doing his rounds of the tables.
Herbert: "Unicorn rides are for kids!"

Ugh, I'd forgotten how annoying and tedious this book was. You deserve a medal for reading this shit.
