I specially recall Mary Anne at the airport dropping her off or picking her up and talking about how Dawn's (sophisticated?) idea of travel clothes was pearls and a Laura Ashley dress.

A...Yes, Haley's rat tail was mentioned before. <br />And I swear I heard Claudia's tie-dyed overalls mentioned in another book, and I don't know whether that's continuity or insanity.<br />The idea of wearing Laura Ashley stuff skeeves me out, but then again maybe I'm too young (31) to remember that ever being in style.bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480238267670217226.post-3857175558284177282011-03-14T23:45:11.429-04:002011-03-14T23:45:11.429-04:00I read this one right after having scoliosis check...I read this one right after having scoliosis checks at my school. We did ours in gym class in the 6th grade, and I too had to go to the specialist. This book was in the waiting room at her office, and it scared me more than having to go in the first place. Luckily, I didn't need a brace, but I liked the idea of getting all new clothes...SarahLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620300969826328882noreply@blogger.com
