hello, baby sitter's club? oh, hello mrs rodowsky!

Today was a mixed bag. I showed my complete lack of knowledge of the X-Men ouvre when asked which X-Men I would be. I replied, "The mutant." Apparently, they're all mutants, mmm'kay? Sheesh. Marvel comics pop culture references are not my strength. Now, if somebody had bothered to ask me which Babysitters Club member I would be - drop down - Claudia Kishi, VP, token Asian, hoarder of snacks, devoted side-pony wearer and fashion icon. Holla!

"This is the outfit Claudia helped me to choose: a white tank top under lavender overalls, lavender push-down socks, lavender high-top sneakers, and a beaded Indian belt, which we looped droopily twice around my middle. In my hair we put lavender-and-white clips that looked like birds. I thought they were just any kind of bird, but Claudia swore up and down that they were birds of paradise. Who knows? (I think she was making that up.)"
Ann M. Martin, Babysitter's Club Super Special

Claudia would rock the s*** out of these Rodarte heels and polka dot socks
