Case Closed

Because I’m a 14-year old girl trapped in an adult woman’s body, I’ve been itching to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. You see, back in the days when I worked at iVillain iVillage, sometimes books would find their way to my desk from publicists and the like, and the first installment of Pants just so happened to walk over one day. Not immediately realizing it was a Young Adult title, I dug in, and by the time I realized I wasn’t part of the book’s target demographic, I no longer cared. I loved it, and I was all over the original movie when it came out.

Now, I’m about to reveal a spoiler, so if you’re dying to see this movie and don’t want it ruined, you might want to stop right here.

Effie, Lena’s younger sister, is kind of a beaver. After her failed attempt to steal Tibby’s boyfriend was thwarted, she decided to exact her vengeance on the Sisterhood by stealing The Pants that brought them miracles and cemented her friendship. In case you haven’t figured it out, The Pants are a Very Big Deal. So Effie takes them to Greece, and loses them, or so she claims. And because these girls all live in a fictional land where teenagers can just hop on planes on a whim, Tibby, Lena, Carmen and Bridget go to Greece to find The Pants.

The Pants? Gone forever. (Unless Effie has them hidden away somewhere and I bet she does because she’s a total bitch) But see, what the girls realized is that they don’t NEED The Pants--all they need is each other. All together now--awww.

I wouldn’t say that Curly, Betony and I set out on a quest to find The Pants, per se. But as we rode to our respective homes on the F-train, The Pants found us, much like they found the Sisterhood. Behold:

Exhibit A
The Pants, last seen on a site selling props from the movie.



Exhibit B
The Pants, riding the F-train.



Curly, Betony and I have ensured that there will, in fact, be a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 3. You're welcome. And uh, random lady on the F-train, sorry we uh, beat you up and stole your pants.
