^ No, that was Ethel. And she - gasp - ate three snickers bars on the way home. Which is something Claudia would do as well, but because she's thin, it's nothing more than a funny little quirk in her case.

What's wrong with Ethel? Oh, is this the I Love Lucy reference?

Yeah, Ethel was fat. Although, I never thought that she was. It was just that Fred kept saying that she was.

haha, I have no idea if Ethel in I Love Lucy was fat. I was just commenting on the fact that Ethel sounds like a generic dorky fat girl's name to me. Kind of like naming her Bertha or something.

It's like Sweet Valley. Everyone was beautiful in that town, even the plain girl only needed to remove her glasses, have her hair cut and dab on some lip gloss to look gorgeous. And the fat girl, who'd been bullied her entire life, only had to run around the track a few times in order to lose all the weight and become one of the most popular girls in school. yeah, that entire robin thing was SO WEIRD.

What about the description of Shannon? I recall Kristy and Jessi saying that she had an "interesting" look. Ski jump nose, long blonde hair, and black mascara. I never knew if they meant she was ugly or not.

i always thought shannon looked like the prettiest sitter judging from the covers, ie "kristy's mystery admirer" and "kristy and the snobs".

Kristy said that some people think "interesting" is what you say when someone is ugly, but all she means is that Shannon really is interesting-looking. Whatever that means. I guess she's not drop-dead gorgeous like Dawn (besides the first book) and Claudia or attractive like Stacey. Though I do agree that she looks pretty good on the covers, except Baby-sitters Remember.
I know Kristy is occassionally described as pretty (even if she refuses to try). What is Mary Anne usually described as? I know they always say she has brown hair, brown eyes, used to have to wear pigtails and dresses sort of "preppy" but I can't recall if she usually gets put on the attractiveness scale somewhere.

^ I always thought that MA looked the best on covers. It just seems as if they try too hard to make Stacey & Claudia look pretty, so they end up looking like crap.

I agree on the Mary Anne front! I usually think she looks super cute!
