    It's really interesting to see a show where the women are way more clothed than the men. Is this a new trend?

    Sure, number 6. I'm okay with you going surfing in your low rider, white, shredded leggings. Very okay with it.

    Also number 8 looks like the creepy flasher type. Watch out lady!

    As much as I love men and their bodies, I don't want to see any more low-slung, tight, spandexy bottoms on them. It makes me feel so dirty. And it doesn't help to adorn them with inanimate objects...it just makes it even weirder.

    I would love, love, love it if this movie looks like a satirical take at oblivious upper middle class white privilege.

    Elizabeth: "Jessica, I'd like you to meet my new friend Lisa. She's from....Detroit".

    Jessica: "Oh hi! Elizabeth mentioned a new black girl moved in next door. Your family seems so nice, like the Cosby Show!"

    Elizabeth: "Jessica, black people are just the same as white families, and we shouldn't see color, because we're all alike".

    GOOD! In the article earlier, when it mentioned how the adaptation "should" be updated because of how different a teen's world is now, all the reasons were listed (Facebook, sexting, etc.) and it made me shudder.

    Didn't they drive a fiat? And they were size 6's right? I hated them both... I just read the series for Lila and Enid. I also loved Regina/1Bruce1 until he broke her heart and killed her. =*(

    I assume this will be just as realistic as the novels I read as a pre-teen, where no one ever had sex in high school. Although Bruce might try to assault you by untying your bikini top. And Don't Go Home With John, of course.

    Then they all went to college and became sluts! Sluts, I tell you! I was traumatized.

    Will Regina the Deaf Girl die from cocaine? If Elizabeth could fall into a coma after a motorcycle wreck, that would also be great.

    I hope that she adapts the book where Jessica is starring as Lady MacBeth and her dowdy understudy befriends her, imitates her, and eventually STEALS HER ROLE! Because she was ambitious and willing to do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so long as she could make a name for yourself as the star of a high school production of Macbeth, WHICH IS WHAT LADY MACBETH WOULD DO! I mean, it's so meta.

    Also, looking forward to a bandeau top bikini resurgence.
