Fashion, being a cyclical and brutal beast, often times rehashes fantastic sartorial moments in our collective popular history.
If you were watching with an eye anywhere near half the intensity of the BSD's monocle of savoir-faire, you may have noticed something fascinating- it seems fashion's revolving door has opened to a lobby of Golden Girls inspired pieces.
If you check out the Alexander McQueen collection, Balmain, and much of Paris, you'll see the metallic encouragement and drapey elegance that Blanche Devereaux, Rose Nyland, Dorothy Zbornak, and Sophia Petrillo made so effortlessly chic.
Look at this lady! Post-menstrual and horny as the BSD, Blanche made the most of her gigantic shoulders and even larger libido. Her Southern charm and gaping vagina featured in many storylines in the series, and her fashion choices reflected her enigmatic persona.
Oddly shaped dildos? Maybe.
Emmy Awards? Fuck yes.
Golden Girls is one of the few shows in which each of the leading actors received Emmy Awards for their performances. No jokes here! I love me some GG- the real GG.
These ladies practically invented the three-piece-matching-ensemble. Genius.
Yeah. While searching for GG photos, I came across two which slightly disturbed and strangely aroused me. I've finally figured out what tattoo I'm getting. It's the one below.
WOW. Yes.
Epulets! Shell necklaces! Shoulder pads! Elegant draping! Rolled sleeves! Old, dry, saggy tits!
You'll be thinking about this one as you fall asleep tonight, and Estelle Getty will haunt your naughty dreams.
Like the Mona Lisa, her eyes follow you wherever you go.
Until the next time,
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND,
TRAVEL ROUND THE WORLD AND BACK AGAIN,
YOUR HEART IS TRUE, YOU'RE A FRIEND AND A CONFIDANTE.
AND IF YOU THREW A PARTY,
INVITED EVERYONE YOU KNEW,
YOU WOULD SEE,
THE BIGGEST GIFT WOULD BE FROM ME,
AND THE CARD ATTACHED WOULD SAY,
"THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND."
Stay Gold, Motherfuckers!
