Like OMG! It’s a Laguna Beach Giveaway!!

It’s been about two months since Laguna Beach wrapped up its second season, and I know all the fans are hungry for any spare morsel that might come their way. Well, you’re in luck. Simon & Schuster and MTV Books have sent us a few copies of the odds-on favorite for the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County: Life Inside the Bubble. Written by Kathy Passero and Beth Efran, this tome covers all the saucy details of our favorite on-camera teens. Immerse yourself in Alex M.’s fixation with Leisl from The Sound of Music! Read about Talan’s tortured V-Neck sweater purchase for his date with Britney! And scandalize yourself with accounts of Morgan and soggy sandwiches!!

There are plenty of juicy tidbits in this novel. Just take a look at some of the chapter titles (note: the exclamation points are added by me):

• “Kristin: Grounded!”
• “Lo: The Scariest Halloween Ever!”
• “Christina: Toilet Paper Terrors!”

and the ever intriguing:

• “Stephen and Dieter: Stanley Goes Cruising!”

Of course, the real draw of this book comes from its glossy center which features all sorts of photos of the cast from when they were wee tykes up through their awkward pubescent stage. I’d show you the pics, but I don’t think I’m allowed to. Just trust me — they’re worth the price of admission. Well, that and passages like these:

Within a few months, he'd [Talan] consider himself an old pro in the kissing department, offering to share his expertise with the girls he knew. "Hey," he'd say. "Let me teach you how to kiss."

or

Trey had to admit, home school was fun. Before long, he found himself forming opinions about all kinds of things, like the Civil War and Andrew Jackson's policy towards Native Americans.

Of course, we couldn’t keep all this fun to ourselves. That’s right, it’s another TVgasm giveaway!! (Imagine confetti falling and noisemakers bleating all around you.) Even though this book came out two months ago, here’s your chance to get it for free. Simply send me, B-Side, a photo that best displays your devotion to Laguna Beach. Winners will be posted (and shall receive copies of Life Inside the Bubble). Extra bonus points to anyone who snaps a shot in the town of Laguna and/or with someone from the cast (our eyes will be peeled for fakes — beware!).
