So my fabulous friend Leah informs me that she already knows what she's getting me for my birthday. We go through the charade of her trying to keep the gift a secret every year, but the fabulista does not love a surprise (really, I could care less) so every year, like clockwork, Leah pretends she can't tell me, but then I tell her who cares about surprises, blah blah blah, end result = she tells me my gift two months in advance. So this year (I can't even wait to tell you), she's getting me THE FIRST SEASON OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS ON DVD. Oh yes. From Shady Pines to the Lanai. I'm beyond ecstatic about this news. I obv hope that the "murder mystery" episode is included in this season (some IMDB-ing will confirm that quickly enough) but even if it isn't, what's better? Not one thing. By the way, on a 1993 trip to MGM Studios, yours truly took a picture of the Golden Girls' house façade (indeed, it's not a real house…so even if you're DYING to get out onto that lanai, it's never going to happen) and has it framed. It weirded out my college roommates freshman year. Whatevs, it obv wasn't the first nor the last thing that weirded them out about me.
One entire season of Dorothy's caftans, Blanche's silky negligees, Sophia's digressions commencing with "Picture this: Sicily, 1942", and Rose's St. Olaf stories. Can't wait. CAN'T WAIT.
OMG!!! That is freaking awesome!
ReplyDeleteCan I just tell you that my cousin (who lives in NYC) used to call me Sophia because I always had to have my purse with me! She was all "Damn Sophia, lose the purse".
I love that show. Betty White is so precious!
I also loved when Dorothy would talk about Stan. I love the name Stan.
What an awesome B-day prezzie!
You are a riot! Happy Early Birthday!
*breezily singing to myself* ....Thank you for bein' a friend. Traveled down the road and back again...your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant.....
oh and ROFL about my Teen Witch hair! I looked her up and I do have her hair!
ReplyDelete(PREEN) I have witch hair!
That show is still funny now...I watch the reruns. So well written.
ReplyDeleteParisjasmal--RIGHT? I love that your cousin calls you Sophia. Sometimes you need a purse, are you supposed to carry all that stuff ON you? I think not. Remember when Dorothy thought she should RE-marry Stan only to realize at the last minute what a tool he is? And remember his ridic job ventures?
ReplyDelete"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 BLOG FRIEND."
Windwhisperer, don't you adore the 2 eps a day on Lifetime? What's better? NOTHING.
Picture it - gramercy park - 2007: I'm watching GG dvds with you, we're eating cheesecake, I'm telling you about my latest beau...wait - did I say we were watching the Girls? I think we are the Girls! Let's take this out to my lanai, er, patio.
ReplyDeletePS - so very jeal that you have a photo in front of the house, even if it's only a facade.
What makes an ingredient natural? More and more leading make-up companies are responding to the demands of today's
ReplyDeleteeducated market and offering their customers make-up containing natural and organic ingredients. Women - and more and
more men - are realizing the benefits of leaving behind the man-made ingredients used in cheaper cosmetics and looking
for the quality and results that come from natural make up. Cosmetics that have been made using quality ingredients -
