The Babysitter's Club: Where Are They Now? (PHOTOS)

When I was younger, way back when Lindsay Lohan had an actual prescription to Adderall, girls across America read books. Not Amanda Bynes' Twitter, or Ashely Olsen's Fashion Wordpress, but tangible books that weren't even about vampires. One book series that had quite the following was "The Babysitter's Club": the gripping tale of six upper-class middle school girls from Connecticut who were responsible enough to handle young children. By the time the series ended in 2000, the girls had graduated from middle school at 13. This would make them around 23 now. I decided to catch up with the ladies to see what they had been up to since then. For more from The Frenemy, go here! - Alida Nugent

Because she had rich parents, Stacey had no problem snagging an internship at Nylon magazine at the ripe age of 15. From there she began her modeling/fashion/marketing career in New York City, during which time she attended a two year college program in Paris, took a lot of Polaroids, and had sex with four DJs. Since then she has modelled for American Apparel and appeared in "Law and Order: SVU," "Gossip Girl," and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2." She recently decided to take a break from the coke-binges and all night techno parties to move to LA because she "really wanted a car." She will be playing the part of the hot nanny on an upcoming Disney Channel show.

I loved these books as a kid. Pretty good update on Claudia, Dawn, and Kristy. I don't remember MaryAnn being so religious. Nice trip down memory lane. =)

I agree with the comment about 'Logan'. You should have added him to this list. :)

Question: If Kristy's family is so upper class, what was the big deal about their TV Christmas Special? That baseball glove was a spin-off from Alvin's harmonica (A Chipmunk Christmas).

Do you think Lindsay Lohan's European fashion debut as the advisor to the Ungaro fashion dynasty was a failure or a success?

The critics panned Lindsay Lohan's work as being unoriginal and uninspired, but I found that it was practical and colorful.

If the five main girls are 23 wouldn't that make Mallory and Jessie 21? Why does Mallory look 45? And how would Jessie already be a doctor? I realize I'm taking this way too seriously... but I was VERY serious about my Babysitters Club. Also I didn't agree with the Mary-Anne update at all. Stacey and Claudia seemed to be pretty on the money though.

Naw. I don't think this Mallory looks 45. :)

I have most, if not all the books. I can't remember the last time I read them though.

This is awesome! I expanded on your idea by "casting" some Hollywood actresses to play each of the Babysitters in some sort of reunion movie.

I half enjoyed this. Some were right on the mark, and some were way off.... Its fun to read the everyone's comments. I loved babysitters club when I was in elementary school, along with sweet valley high. I think by the third grade I was mostly into Christopher Pike (he was my ABSOLUTE favorite), although by sixth grade I had moved on to Dean Koonz and Stephen King...

that's identical to my reading trajectory.

Loved that, I was also an avid reader of Babysitters club when I was younger. Oo how I missed those days.

Aw, I was hoping we'd get an update on Logan, who's now the most successful fluffer in the gay porn industry. And he still has that dreamy Southern accent.

The one thing I don't totally love about this: it's very Gen Y. When the series originally began, it was 1987 and the girls were 12. (I was 10). This would put them at 35 today, which probably would have made a more interesting parody. (Kids, divorces, careers, stints in rehab.) :)

Wow. A "where are they now" update on a bunch of characters from books.

Thanks, I'm going to remember this marketing technique for my own fiction.
