 Who would've guessed it? Almost thirty years ago, when we first met “the most dazzling, the most adorable, most perfectest blond-haired aqua-eyed sixteen-year-old girls ever to grace this planet and you so wish you could be them!” did you ever imagine that, well into the 2000s, we'd still be talking about the Wakefield twins, and all the other ( Read more... )

Folks, we’re not in Sweet Valley anymore. St. Elizabeth is no longer an A student, she drinks ALCOHOL of the non-wine-in-paper-cups variety, and sneaks out of the house despite the fact that she is grounded. Yes, you heard it here. GROUNDED.

Sam isn't even ( Read more... )
