The fluffy 1980s teen fiction series updates itself -- by making its heroines even skinnier.
  • there were actual sex scenes in the SVH books?

    Shit. Missed those. I was looking for them, too. (I would have been reading these in about the fifth-sixth grade, so any of my grad school friends that read this, cut my former literary tastes some slack.)

    Anyway, I'm 5'7" and 135 lbs. I just bought a skirt from Target that says size two on the label. It's BIG on me. I also have a cocktail dress that's from the early 1960s that fits tight through the waist. The label says it's a size sixteen.
