Voodoo Dolls, C-Cups and Eminem: 08/17/08

Originally I had two reviews planned for today: a story from American Girls About Town and a story from the August issue of FSF. Unfortunately iCal has decided to delete all my entries for planned reviews. So I have been wasting my time fighting with that P.O.S. application rather than concentrating on writing reviews.

Rebecca Simon is engaged to her boyfriend of six months. Her family isn't happy especially her 14 year old sister who is as annoying a plot element as Dawn's addition was to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So I just imagined Dawn with a perm whenever Madison did anything in this story.

In the end, Rebecca and Michael do get married just as planned even though everyone thinks they are too young. Madison doesn't get her way and Rebecca isn't cursed after all.

I personally can't imagine the two sisters being as close as they apparently are, not being eleven years apart in age. I have a younger brother and the seven years between us made it seem like we were only children for most of our lives at home.

Learn more about Melissa Senate.
