It kinda makes sense. AFAIK, Washington mall is way out of town. So Mary Anne needs to take a between-cities bus. Or something? Meh. :)

Richard needs to stop mocking the health food. Healthy food is pretty similar to regular food. Also, WHAT'S WRONG WITH VITAMINS? With MA's mum dying so young, you figure he'd be into organic food. Most young cancer survivors I know eat really healthy and organic.

Either way, it's not like the transport is the biggest WTF moment in this story! :D

Printing on cloth made my brain hurt. Does Ann know what a computer does? Coz the answer is NOT PRINT ON CLOTH.

It's a real program for Barbie. My sister had it when she was little. The "cloth" was not the same quality as real cloth, but you could make actual doll clothes.

I had a Barbie fashion design program and you could print onto a cloth-type paper. So, it wasn't normal cloth but it had the feeling of cloth (on at least one side). I never wanted to waste that precious cloth-paper, so I never actually printed any of my designs (yeah, I also hoarded all of my Lisa Frank stuff, too- what's your point?).

I would be so very pissed if my kid dumped my potato chips and brownies off on a canned food drive without asking me. Or, really, anything of mine.

Who the hell wears a slip anymore? And I'm guessing the "cloth" the thing prints on isn't so much cloth as slightly weird paper. Or, you know. AMM has never seen a computer up close before. Which wouldn't surprise me.

It's probably because Ann doesn't want to say she was in her bra and panties. (Picture MA's reaction to THAT!)

I suspect Ann would faint if one of her ghosties used the word "panties."

Hee, I can just picture the ghostie typing it in and then going "Shit! Ann will fire me if I write that!" and changing it to "slip", possibly after using an "English to Ann M. Martin" dictionary...

Yeah, actually I can see Dawn popping vitamins like candy while proudly announcing that she no longer eats food because she gets everything her body requires from Nutrition Center.
There was an episode of Wife Swap where one of the moms stared at the sun in an attempt to get all of her nutrition that way. When she did eat, she was a raw foodie. Hello, Dawn in 30 years.

I’m just waiting for the day when Sharon hears one too many snide remarks about vegetables and goes all Carrie on their asses.
It starts with the BSC holding a dance in Sharon's barn...

Did someone explain photosynthesis to her?

Mmm...I don't think so, but the new mom that came in bought a stove so the husband could have his first hot meal in years.

As someone who is currently going through the joy of job interviews during, y'know, a big fat recession, I am ready to insert something very sharp and pointy into various orifices of Suzanne Weyn's. Seriously, I know that it wasn't anywhere near as hard when this book was written, but interviews were still interviews. Even my McShits interview which I rocked up to sweaty in my school uniform, got asked the most perfunctory of questions, probably answered them badly because it was my first time, and was called up before I got home and told to do the on-the-job test (aka "We can has free labour!") two days later, there was more to it than "When are you available?" and "Are you allergic to anything?"

When I first read "Charlotte has a new fashion program on her computer" I totally pictured the Dress-Me-Up Stacey Doll thing in Miss Congeniality that shows what all the officers would look like in a bikini or swimsuit. Now THAT was an awesome fashion program.

In the changing room we’re treated to the mental image of Angela wearing just a ( ... )

I'm not sure who the bra-and-slip lady is. I did a Google image search for bra and slip and that was the best one that popped up.

I'm glad you like my sound bits - you're one of my favorite snarkers, so getting a compliment from you means a lot. :D
