My Summer of Trash
I haven’t read a good book all the way through since… (I’m looking it up on Goodreads) May.
I don’t even feel bad! The swirling tornado of the Wakefield Twins, the Dollangangers, and all things Tori Spelling have gotten me through starting a job, sweltering heat, Maker Faire, AND Renegade SF. Not too shabby.
My only lament is that there aren’t many teen-trash inspired crafts. Unless you count Twilight, which I also read this year, but I just can’t get worked up about that series. Sorry, everybody.
All an etsy search yielded was this magnificent accessory, which is a pretty good way of paying homage to Jessica and Elizabeth’s improbable adventures in… was it Kansas?
And, of course, there’s the much lauded SVH Bathroom Art.
Still, I think we can do better. Babysitters’ Club embroidery, anyone?

OMG, I had no idea you were a SVH fan. I read all the books when I was younger and had quite the crush on Bruce Patman (The Stef of SVH). You’re right, I am a WASP!

[…] This isn’t specifically a Sweet Valley High craft project. But. If you ever subjected yourself to the historical-fiction weirdness that were the Sweet Valley Sagas, you may remember this book, which was ostensibly the history of the Wakefields, but was really a re-imagining of 100 years or so of American history in which Liz and Jess meddle and manipulate their way through the ages: […]
