Blimey O'Reilly!: Stop in the Name of Pants by Louise Rennison

"It is vair vair hard work being the girlfriend of a Luuurve God. Constant grooming is required. The people expect it."

Being the notorious girlfriend of the Luuurve God Masimo is a tough job, but in the just published ninth book in the hilarious Brit teen queen series, Stop in the Name of Pants! (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson)
Gee is bearing up under the strain of her public appearances with the "Italian Stallion," lead singer for the local rock group Stiff Dylans and man about town on his glitzy scooter, thanks to the support of her girlfriends, the Ace Gang, and, as always, her cat Angus.

Still, Georgia can't get that kiss beside the pond with her friend Dave the Laugh off her mind. Despite getting all swoony knickers for Masimo, Georgia has so much fun when Dave is around that she wonders if he really is the treat from the cakeshop of love for her. And when she gives in to temptation and dances the twist with Dave at the Dylans' concert, Masimo stops the performance and challenges Dave to a fight. Does this mean that Georgia's love life is back on the rocks, er, racks?

"Oh, marvelous. I am once more on the rack of love with no cakes.

All aloney on my owney.

Again. PANTS!!
