She does give off a MJ-vibe. Also, I like the pretend the other girls are rocking the DEVO look, in their multicolored quasi-jumpsuits.

Dude. Stacey is so the Wife of Bath, with her lusty ways and 5 husbands, always on the lookout for the next Mr. Right.

.....oh my god. If I still had my babysitters club books, this is TOTALLY what I would do my term paper in The Poetry of Chaucer on.

Considering how everyone's horndog in Canterbury Tales, Stacey could also be the Friar, the Monk, the Prioress, the Squire, etc.

...at least, according to my 11th grade English teacher.

My 12th grade self thanks you for making my Modern English translation of Canterbury Tales much more interesting!

I agree with the saddest ending to a BSC book thing.

I gotta ask- molecules with pretzels and PRUNES?! What are they, old and irregular?

[polliwogs]

Well, they are fond of pants with elastic waistbands, so you can never be sure.

1) Laine fails. Stacey is on a diet.
2) Valentine's Dance for kids? Okay, you're going into the creepy zone there.
3) Who is this Nicky Pike doppelganger? The real Nicky hates girls to an almost pathological degree, if I recall. BSC missed out in having surreal stories the way Sweet Valley sometimes did. I demand a book with clones of the kids taking over and the BSC doesn't notice until the clone kids try to eat their faces. Or reject kid kits and being dragged into activities. Whichever comes first.

Besides, I would have NEVER went to a dance as a kid. Valentines= cupcakes instead of schoolwork when you're THEIR age.

4) And now Kristy wears a dress? She must be a fake, too!

And lastly, why do people always wait to chew bitches out in this series? They could have thrown Tigger at her and ran as soon as she started being sophisticateder-than-thou.

[polliwogs]

They have to wait to chew people out in order to give the antagonists time to either a) provide a shallow plotline or b) write anonymous letters and fill them with nail clippings.

[ifandonlyif]

well actually it wasn't a dance, it was just a "party" with cupcakes and card exchanges.

[kerssido]

I guess that's a bit less weird. Still, their involvement in kids' love life is a little creepy. If Nicky and the 'Lyn Twin (their parents deserve a slow burn for giving them cutesily rhyming names) got "married" like Karen did, I wonder if the BSC would try to make a wedding event?

I think only Karen was enough of a goose to get married, though. :P

[polliwogs]

It still baffles me how anyone can find Kristy endearing. After all, we're talking about a girl who regularly dresses like Mr. Rogers.
