I watched The Baby-Sitters Club movie the other night and I had one question on my mind: Where would they be at thirty?
Kristy Thomas - Stoneybrook resident, lesbian gym teacher with one kid from her first heterosexual marriage, twins on the way with her partner who underwent artificial insemination
Mary Anne Spier - Stoneybrook resident, still emotionally manipulative, makes her two children compete for her love, married young to a man who cheats on her, she lives in denial, PTA secretary
Dawn Schafer - Moved back to California, became a vegan, doesn’t watch TV, works at a health food store, spent most of her late twenties on a commune, cutting back on weed
Stacey McGill - Moved back to New York, dates older men, drinks too much and occasionally ends up in the hospital because of it, works in merchandising, has a lot of credit card debt
Claudia Kishi - Aging hipster, failed out of art school then community college, temporarily lived with Dawn until she was kicked out, still smokes too much weed, sees family only on holidays
Mallory Pike - Ivy League grad, teaches English, writes in her spare time, hasn’t had a date since high school, cat lady
Jessi Ramsey - Developed an eating disorder to maintain her weight while in a ballet conservatory, now in recovery, teaching dance to kids, happily married, one child, still friends with Mallory
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day.
Yeah, I was totally into the Baby-Sitters Club as a kid. Yeah, fuck your gender roles and the horse they rode in on.
I know a few people who may enjoy this…
