AS FAR AS IDEAL family members go, most of the Bluths certainly leave something to be desired. Except for little brother Buster—now he is a dream come true. And so undervalued!
I think Lindsey is one of the most undervalued characters (by the audience), though I too much prefer Buster. He oddly reminds me of my uncle.
I wonder what George Michael’s girlfriend Anne would have to say about sisterhood. I can imagine she’d have a uniquely religious and awkward perspective.
As an only child, I think a sister would’ve been awesome. However!…there’s really nothing that can compare to a father-uncle-dad. So I’m told, at least.
I don’t think I’ve seen that episode, but she would make a horrible sister for a lot of reasons.
I’ll write for the equivalent website if someone pays me and I can write about brotherhood, though I definitely can’t produce the same quality material as the posts on this site. Anyone know of a gig where I could get paid to ramble about revolutionary brotherhood or watching the Celtics with ‘the boys?’

FEU, BY ANASTASIA SMITH, a collage in mixed media, 2007
Who's Blogging Here?
Anastasia Smith is the face of 'Claiming Sisterhood,' exploring the two definitions of that tricky verb claim: 'to take it as the rightful owner,' and also 'to assert it in the face of possible contradiction.' A younger sister to a brother, Anastasia is setting out to find and claim sisterhood on her own terms, in all its facets: 'from identity politics to pop-culture,' she says. She is just heading south from New England to do her MFA in creative writing.
WELL SAID
‘I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at.’
—Maya Angelou
Welcome to Our New Blog Network
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.

E, Lindsay would make a terrible sister! Remember when she tries to steal Steve Holt from her own daughter?
We should make a male equivalent of this website called The Father-Uncle-Dad Project.
