Lady and the Glamp
Lake Flaccid
Hey GLUs!
Welcome back to the Clique Book Club. Pull out your Louis Vuitton Horizon Business Monogram wheelie ($3900.00) because we’re going to Lake Placid!
To prep for a week in the woods with the Briarwood Boys *squeal*, Massie leads a kissing clinic, which doesn’t exactly go as planned. Having never kissed anyone before (but claiming to be an expert), her tips focus on lip gloss and oral hygiene rather than the act itself. She does, however, redeem herself with a method actor’s take on Friday Night Sleepover—a Lake Placid dry run that includes a tent, s'mores, flannel pajamas, and the ICONIC packing list.

In other news: Claire is sideways over Cam, but her bangs—thanks to hair stylist Jakkob —are finally straight. Alicia is loving Josh Hotz (who clearly likes Kuh-laire), and Dylan is loving her post-flu figure. The weight-obsessed tween may have lost ten pounds, but she gains one ah-nnoying mother. Yep. The famous Merri-Lee Marvil is also going to Lake Placid, and she’s bringing a camera crew with her. Why? To film a segment on “mother-daughter bonding” for her talk show. (#Talkblocker.) Meanwhile, literally poor Kristen is stuck in Westchester because she can’t afford the trip.
Let’s discuss.
Massie Block is insecure, but she’s the queen of “fake it till you make it”. False confidence is how she dominates. But she’s terrified to kiss Derrington. Why?
Claire is terrified Alicia will find out about her lip-kiss with Josh. Is this because she’s genuinely afraid of losing Alicia as a friend? Or is she afraid of losing her place in The Pretty Committee? Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? How did you handle it?
Dylan loves to flex on her mother’s celebrity and wishes she could spend more time with her. But she wants her OUT of Lake Placid. Is Dylan more so embarrassed by her mom’s self-serving antics, or is she hurt that this is how she’s chosen to spend time with her?
BONUS QUESTION: If you have any packing tips, please share. The pre-packing stress anxiety is unhealthy.
LFG (Let’s F-ing Gossip)!

Packing tips from someone who’s strangely good at packing: 1. plan all outfits in advance and make sure every piece can be worn for multiple fits to cut down on the amount of stuff you’re bringing. 2. Have a bag always packed with all of your toiletries and travel size makeup that you only use when you’re traveling. If you’re a makeup girlie like me you know that packing and unpacking all of that is a pain, and this way you don’t have to worry that you forgot something if it’s already packed and you’re not using that stuff on the daily. 3. I always travel with Liquid IV, advil, and the individuality packed Patchology eye patches (perfect to put in the hotel fridge) because I won’t let a hangover slow me down. 4. Lighted makeup mirror. Nothing is worse than unreliable lighting for makeup.
This might be my FAVE book out of the series! Lake Placid is so iconic ESP the packing list!! I’m obsessed. Ok now to answer the questions:
1. Not to be a downer, but I think Massie is terrified to kiss Derrington because she isn’t ready to be kissing boys! She’s clearly more interested in fashion and friends than boys but she’s trying to keep up because her friends are more interested in boys.
2. I would be shocked if Kuh-laire was worried about losing Alicia as a friend. She must’ve been more worried about losing her place and possibly her life because Alicia might destroy her if she finds out that Claire kissed Josh! Seriously, what was she thinking?! Oh, I know, she was probably acting like me 😂 I try not to kiss and tell but I might have kissed a friend’s crush but HE KISSED ME not the other way around!! It’s still not an excuse and I do not recommend putting yourself in this situation 😅
3. The mother-daughter relationship between Dylan and Merri-Lee Marvil is so disheartening but probably shows a common experience in the lives of the wealthy. I can see that Dylan is hurt that her mother claims this as “bonding time” yet her mother spends the whole time pining after the hottie teach and only shows affection to Dylan when the cameras are rolling. I would bet that Merri-Lee Marvil may have some narcissistic tendencies… 🤔
4. I’ve learned a super helpful packing tip from the Kardashian queens!! I take photos of the outfits I plan out for each day so I don’t forget the fit during the trip. This way I always look fabulous 😎💁♀️
