Amanda B. and Rony J. do the serious-book-club equivalent of hitting on a girl that's obviously...uh... not interested in you, by seeking to break down Babysitter's Club book #38, KRISTY'S MYSTERY ADMIRER. Y.A.? YNOT! Ok so here's why not:1.) Pretty dresses; 2.) fellatio; 3.) ????Treatise on being "interesting looking".Woman as object --> woman as subject.(Kristy's going to Smith, not Wellesley.)Babysitting over 18 = whoring minus the sex.The do's and don'ts of writing secret, anonymous notes to someone you don't know insisting that you essentially want to possess them.The do's and don'ts of sending body parts to crushes.Simmering class warfare in Stoneybrook, y'all.HEAVY frock talk.GET 'EM NANNIE.OK so obviously we're doing the quiz. Guess who we got!(Hand to God, there were drums.)Everyone's a little gay.But no seriously, Kristy's gay. And that's fine!Not even fine. It's distant.RURTHER FEEDING:BSC slash fiction?YES ("Changing Lanes", by user EmilyJade91, fanfiction dot net, last update Apr. 7, 2012)MUH (Curated fan list, by user Lioness Black, fanfiction dot net, Sept. 26, 2005)FUGGIN ("Fan Fiction Friday: 7 Baby-Sitters Club Femslash Fics to Take You Way Back", by Heather Hogan, autostraddle dot com, Jan. 23, 2015)YES****.
