Neon Clubhouse

Forced social interactions are commonplace for teenagers, especially when your moms meet in the grocery store over a shared love of Tupperware. "Coolest Girl on the Bus" Tilly Masterson joins Susan, Virginia, and Mary Jo in the Neon Clubhouse to talk about being tough, piercings, groupies, and moving around a lot. They also work out how to become a double agent.

Recording from March 7, 1987.

For the first time ever, the Neon Clubhouse welcomes a real woman in Nancy Fay Robinson. She has so much more knowledge than Susan, Virginia, and Mary Jo (obviously) when it comes to women's matters. And, by "women's matters," we mean sex. Nancy graciously walks everyone through their experiences to categorize their bases, and you'll never guess who is the closest to being a home run woman.

Mary Jo finally meets a fellow homeschooler. Sarah May Jackson visits, and the Neon Clubhouse devise a way for the "schools" to be rivals. They land on stand-up comedy competition, which goes ... well, you'll have to listen to find out. They also pray about Mary Jo's pubic hair.

Charlotte Robbins is really good at taking care of animals even though she doesn't have any of her own. Pickles agrees that she is very good at it and approves her "behind the ears" petting technique. Fed up with not being able to do stuff because they are "too young," Susan, Mary Jo, and Jessie advise Charlotte on how she can get away with starting her own veterinarian clinic.

The Clubhouse also talks about naming their tonsils, Days of Our Lives, evil twins, word problems, sleeping on the bus, and the proper disposal of boogers.

Carol-Anne Silver is the amazing "Queen of Clubs" and inspires the Neon Clubhouse to talk saints, activities and "peer reviews." She brings a Lost & Found box, and everyone gets a fun gift. While Virginia's entire family is sick, Jessie Mercedes Lane steps in for the fun.

While chatting with their guest, budding pop star Vicki Bee, the Neon Clubhouse gets deep into past lives. Vicki is incredibly breathy and talented but also envisions things she's never seen before. Susan gets to use her new encyclopedia to investigate. Mary Jo jumps to all the conclusions. And, Virginia says this is the worst Disney movie ever.
