Fresh-scrubbed! Cotton dresses! Meth-free teeth! Sturdy knees! These are the things to love about the Abby Winters girls, and even though "Abby Winters" itself is a little fib, the company doesn't give in to hyperbole in its titles: these are girls who like girls; they're too busy getting ready for backpacking trips and going on holiday to Gibraltar to set aside time for love.
Cleo and Violet acknowledge that it's hot in the room. Their futon mattress sits on the hardwood floor. Rustle, rustle. We hear a truck outside. It's sunny. It's so wholesome we could die.
At no time does anyone say, "Fucking bitch stole my Icehouse tapes." See? They really like each other.
Em & Gillian, meanwhile, prefer to keep the shades closed, and their conversation is limited to little giggles and grunts, maybe so we'll never hear "Where's my fucking 'Warakurna' cassingle?"
