About the Kristy-being-lesbian thing, I don't necessarily think she's a lesbian per say but I do think it's hard to ignore the stereotypes. I just know a lot of lesbians that were probably *exactly* like Kristy at 13. And also, most kids don't really fully comprehend their gay at 13, even if there's an inkling -- and I have to be careful on how I phrase this because that isn't always the case. And now kids mature so quickly, I don't know if that's as valid...but I digress. The fact is that some of the Stoneybrook characters were gay, but at this stage it's kind of irrelevant. This is just from statistics and general knowledge and awareness of the people around you. I know people who are still coming to grips with their sexuality in their 20s and beyond.
To add to the Kristy and Logan thing, maybe Logan being a BSC member had a play in it. In the fact that she not only respected Logan but also had a business relationship with him, in a way, coupled with a slight fear that maybe pissing him off would hurt business? She's always so obsessed with that.

I think I brought up the Logan thing because of how Kristy acted about him after Mary Anne dumped him again. She couldn't shut up about him and it was all positive like he was her best bud. It was odd because he was out of the club and not with Mary Anne, and suddenly Kristy thought he was awesome.

^ Maybe Kristy thought Logan was awesome all of a sudden because he was no longer Mary Anne's boyfriend and Kristy could have her all to herself.

I was just looking at this cover today and it dawned on me (LOL, "Dawn-ed". Pun!) Anyway, why didn't they use the Kristy model that's on the cover of Karen's Little Sister more often? To me, she's the perfect portrayal and she actually looks like she could be 13! And is short!

I really like the way Kristy looks in LS...I think another good cover is Karen's New Year.

^ Totally agree! She looks okay in Karen's Treasure, too, so I agree with you that Kristy tends to look better on the LS covers. I think it has something to do with the quality of the covers, too, if that makes any sense...

I think Kristy looks gorgeous on the cover of Karen's Hurricane, although not very Kristy-like. It looks like Stacey picked out her clothes and makeup!

I remember there was a thread where someone was talking about how the heights in BSC aren't handled realistically, but I can't find the thread, so I'm posting this in here. They always make a point of how Kristy is so short, and at 5'0" is the shortest kid in the 8th grade. But I watched something today where actress Nikki Blonsky commented how she's 4'11", and it reminded me of that discussion. In an average 8th grade class, I'd expect there to be some girls (and boys) shorter than 5'0". (Another actress who is 4'11" is Kristin Chenoweth.)

Talking about covers I loved how Kristy looked on the cover of Karen's big sister. The girl portraying her on LS and FF covers were accurate.

I know this is going off topic a bit in Kristy's thread, but when you mentioned her on the cover of FF it reminded me how I really disliked the portrayal of Mary Anne on the FF covers (I think it was her teeth and the fact that her hair got really long). I guess I was so used to seeing them in illustrated format that actual photos of people as them was weird to see.

I was only 4'11" when I started seventh grade and by the time I finished eighth I was only about 5'2". I definitely was in good company; there were lots of other shorties in our class.

I notices, Kristy arrives at the meeting first. (Expect Claudia. Cause, she's already there. Unless, she's baby-sitting.) She lives far away from the other Sitters. How come the other Sitters, gets their after Kristy? When they lived closer to Claudia's house.

^Sometimes being on time isn't good enough. I like to be a little early for things so I can get situated. Maybe Kristy was like that too.

^Oh, I see. That makes sense. To get ready for the club.
