We are keeping it campy this time with a soupçon of drama as we talk about the iconic television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the Season 3, Episode 6 entry, "Band Candy." You can just hear Principal Snyder telling you that there are some "foxy ladies here tonight," and he was talking about us! So whether you're no longer a girl, but not yet a slayer, or one half of a pair of ex-magic using lovers, we've got you covered.
