Dad doesn’t think The Dorrit will be into it. The Dorrit enters and wonders “Why are you guys such freaks?” As always, The Dorrit raises a good point. Dad tells her about the tickets and she wonders who she should go with… when Dad suggests they go together, The Dorrit, reluctantly, agrees.

In school, it would appear that Mags and Super Vixen Donna LaDonna have lockers next to one another.

 I love to be alone.  That’s why I cling to my gay boyfriend and bang a cop on the side

Donna is busy prepping for the Winter Dance by sneaking a bottle of scotch into her locker for Sebastian, while Mags is sneaking a bottle of Peach Schnapps into her locker. Donna assumes the Schnapps are for Miss Walt, but Mags informs her that Walt has the chicken pox and Mags will be going to the dance solo. Donna thinks that Mags is pathetic but Mags assures her that she is fine to do things alone- unlike SOME people. Donna argues that she is always the best thing in the room so she wouldn’t know. But she is thinks it is sad the Mags will be dancing alone with her little girlfriends because Donna is CERTAIN they don’t have dates. Mags corrects Donna and tells her that they both have boyfriends- hot ones. Donna is glad Carrie has a boyfriend so she won’t need to be jealous, when she sees Donna and Sebastian doing “a slow burn on the floor.” Ew.

Carrie meets up with Larissa. Damn, I was hoping we were rid of her. Oh well.

Oh look, Carrie’s fugly bag…

Larissa needs help figuring out the theme for her next photo shoot. Carrie says she imagines the offices of Interview to be this adult size playground. That sparks an idea for Larissa’s shoot and Carrie helps Larissa with the headline for Carrie’s purse article and Larissa offers Carrie an internship at Interview.

Carrie meets up with Mags to talk about Larissa’s offer. Mags tells her she is crazy if she doesn’t take it. But Carrie would feel badly abandoning the law firm, especially since her Dad arranged it for her. Mouse comes in- LIVID. She FLUNKED her test!!! Actually, she got a B+, but it might as well be an F because it’s the end of the world for Mouse- her parents are going to kill her.

Community College here I come

Mouse knows her grades have been suffering because of her relationship with Seth. Mouse says “Sex can make a person do crazy things! And Mags and Walt have the craziest sex.” They look to Mags for confirmation, but Mags confesses that her sex life with Walt isn’t so great. The girls seems to gloss over that confession because Mags tells Mouse that Larissa has offered Carrie an internship. Mouse thinks Carrie shouldn’t abandon the job her Dad got for her… and she also thinks her parents re going to kill her. Carrie decides she should talk to her Dad about Larissa’s job offer because she likes to think of him as more than a Dad.

I’m so proud of you for being so real…

    ugh, i was hoping we were rid of larissa, too. i can’t stand her. and how she still (still? ever did) thinks carrie is a “grown woman” is beyond me. or why she would think a “grown woman” would quit her so-called job to do a stupid internship at a magazine. HELLO, LARISSA?! wtf is wrong with you? seriously, go away already.

    i want carrie’s dance dress. seriously. although it seems a little outlandish for just a random school dance (even in the ’80s? someone help me out here. maybe it wasn’t).

    i was actually sad about the mouse-seth breakup. they were so cute and nerdy, all heartbroken over losing their relationship for the sake of some a-pluses.

    Finally, George steps up at the end of this episode and represents for the guys i remember in back high school. That dress would have been awesome in the 80′s, but our tea length ones had less rhinestones and more big bows (big bows were a trend – either in front across the boobs or on the back).

    I have a brain fart every Monday at 8:00pm. I don’t know why, but I always think the show is on at 9:00.

    Maybe I can’t get into this because I liked the group dynamic in Sex and this is just Carrie and all her suburban weirdness.

    I think Sebastian and Donna should have a baby together just so we can see what its lips would be like. Yes, these are fictional characters, but work with me here, people.

    Oh, and thank you MisRed for the pic of the still-hot-at-68 Tom Selleck.

    Carrie’s makeup at the dance is so late 90s that I can’t see anything else (I didn’t watch the episode, I just read your awesome recaps). It looks like she’s wearing CoverGirl Ice Slicks. Does anyone else remember those pencils?
