No, he's not keeping them locked up in a sex dungeon...but yes, if he's really feeding them only what's listed in the affadavit, then he actually IS starving them - killing them slowly of starvation and malnutrition and apparently sleep deprivation which is probably also a contributing factor to the youngest's…

Really? How awful does a parent have to be to their 7 and 10 year old to be horrific? The things detailed in the affadavit are pretty awful and if I was a 7 year old experiencing it daily, I'd be pretty horrified. Also, it seems like it's getting worse. Does he have to punch one of them before it's considered…

WOW, I completely don't remember that at all...I wonder if that came later after I stopped reading because I had moved onto Christopher Pike and Fear Street books...the last one I remember reading was one of the shared perspective vacation books - I think it was the ski trip? Because the cruise came first, right?

haha! yeah, I thought all Californians ate only veggie burgers for a while.

William Gibson called it with Idoru. Read it; it's awesome. Also, side note, when I met him and told him it was my favorite of his books he said it was his too. :)

As in Layne looked really "sophisticated" in her black crushed velvet dress and silver squiggly pin. She looked at least 19 where as Claudia still looked great, but 17 tops. - paraphrased from Stacy when the gang visited her after she moved back to New York.

yeah, probably true...out with those globe earrings, brightly colored erasers that smelled like fruit, skinny foil cut out pencils with charms dangling at the end, and individual unicorn stickers you can buy off a spool like lottery tickets. I loved the mall as a kid. Everything just glittered and beckoned for my…

Haha, Watson. Yeah, and poor Louie the collie cut his paw during the unfortunate car wash and eventually died in another book. Poor Louie.

What?! I totally had a silver squiggle pin! I got it at Claire's like I got all my Claudia Kishi inspired jewelry (mostly earrings such as globes, telephones, anything neon).

I am pleasantly surprised that Stacey is that far from #1, but also vindicated that Claudia is #1. Also - random things I ALWAYS remember from the BSC in my day to day life:

Yeah, I feel like she's confusing "coaxing" with, you know, foreplay. Like sure, one partner may be ready to go at the drop of a hat and the other may just be tired and in need of arousal to get going. Not the same thing as unequal agreement or consent, just differing libido levels.

Please, we all know the best outfit to wear from Labyrinth would be Jareth the Goblin King. The only clothing needed. Though I also dig all the masks. I had ruby red glittering chucks which I loved the shit out of and had to give a stately burial when they were just too disintegrated to wear. I got asked about…

mirror....father...mirror

It really is the best outfit for the day.

That's Owen Wilson, yo.

If you never saw him in this, you should rent and watch it right now! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt008474…

HER ARMS!! I mean, how does she do it? Is she really Marie Laveau?

Matt Houston and Hunter references....were we separated at birth??

Are you really comparing these things? Are you expecting me to say No, fuck him, because he's a man? First of all, Weiner, who's married, and someone whose job indicates he wants to be a leader among people with all the intelligence, forethought, and moral righteousness that's supposed to imply, sent those pics to at…

Fair enough - I mean, I house my money in a bank account, rather than a mattress, but the laws and expectation of privacy are still there...
