Claudia, natch! OK, so sometimes I considered changing teams and favoring Dawn because of her environmentalism and California Casual boho attitude. But her style didn't live up to the 'tude and she just couldn't compare to a character who MADE HER OWN jewelry and accessories and clearly led a totally independent and mature lifestyle, conducting personal calls and business meetings from her bedroom! Oh alright, the bottom line is that all that is well and good, but really the hidden candy sealed the deal. I wasn't allowed access to it either back when the books were originally published and Claudia's ability to not only acquire, but maintain a stock in her totally private bedroom (again, ever-independent and mature!) made her nothing short of a role-model.

I have to say it was probably Stacey because I am from New York, and so was she. Also, when her parents were getting divorced, she put on a wooden necklace with fruit on it, which struck me as sort of cool, at the time.

I'd love to say Mallory out of pity for the underdog, but alas, it was totally Dawn. Cool, casual, laid-back, yet responsible. ME = DAWN.

I used to like Dawn, but I'm totally a Claudia girl now - after rereading I can fully appreciate the crazyness of what she wore.

I always said it was a tie between Stacey and Claudia. But I related more to Dawn because we were both from CA and I even dressed up as Dawn for Halloween one year.

Claudia is the only one who never pisses me off, but I quite like Abby too.

Mary Anne. She was quiet and studious, but managed to not be boring.

Hmm... when I was younger it was a tie between Stacey and Dawn. A hybrid for the two. I never really realized Claudia's fashion sense until reading this blog!! LOVE IT!

DAWN! Mostly for the chambray ensembles. At the end of the day, I really think I love Ann M Martin and her dogs the best! I'd like to see that super special!

Claudia. Obviously. Anything else would be inappropriate.

I have always loved Stacey. She had awesome clothes, a sweet perm, and was a Mathlete.

Abby replaced Staci as my favorite the moment she arrived.

I always loved Stacey - she had the boy-crazy stories with swoony Toby, Sam, and Robert, the awesome clothes, and the New York background I always dreamed about.

I love Claudia a lot more now, but it always annoyed me when they called her "exotic" looking, especially since I'm Asian myself. Thanks for the Othering, AMM.

What can I say, I really liked Mary-Anne. Probably because I identified with her...because I was lame.

Clearly Claudia!! Native American inspired feather earrings, tuxedo pants, backward suspenders and all!!

I think when I was younger I loved Dawn. But now I'm more into Mary Anne and of course, our girl Claudia.

Kristy's bad-assed-ness from the first book sold her to me before anyone else was introduced. Though I did sort of want Dawn's hair and secret tunnel.

Claudia forever. I've always been the crazy/artistic hot mess- with a penchant for junk food and fashion.

Claudia of course! She even wore cool outfits when she had a broken leg!
