I *love* Pippi Longstocking and Harriet the Spy. I read those books a lot as a child.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Pip, Ramona, and Harriet were my standbys. Also Sally J. Freedman and Penelope Pitstop.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was anti-princess when I was a kid. I wonder what it says about me that my favorite fairy tale was the one about the flounder.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also Sally J. Freedman and Penelope Pitstop.
Does Peneolpe Pitstop appear anywhere besides the Wacky Races cartoons?

I didn't have a favorite fairy tale, but my favorite folk tale was Tatterhood.

She had her own cartoon for awhile.

My favorite fairy tales were all morbid ones from Hans Christian Anderson, like the Little Mermaid and the Little Matchstick Girl.
We had a convo about this once in Natter IIRC.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
All those Disney princesses are from stories that were written by non-Disney authors, aren't they?
Don't get me wrong; I think that pretty much all of the fairy tales presented -- Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Goddamn Mermaid Who Gives Up Her Voice For A Dude -- are horrible stories that instill patriarchal values into little girls before they have the ability to reason and see that they're bullshit. Feh.

Late 70's, I want to say. Lemme check - it was called "The Perils of Penelope Pitstop". I loved her so much that most of my books had "This book belongs to Aimee Jo Heumann and Penelope Pitstop" written in them because I was her and she was me.
