Sophia Tells it Like it is

The Point of Having Breasts

*Note: the woman who plays Yvonne is Hilary Shepard, who was also in Private Resort with Johnny Depp. I only mention this because she has a hideously ugly face on top of that decent body.

Golden Quote of the Day

Henny Penny, Straight No Chaser

Oh Baby, this is the motherload of favourite moments! Mother Cluckin' Henny Penny!

So, for you morons out there who don't know the awesomeness that is Henny Penny, let me drop some learnin' on your ass. Dorothy's school gets to put on a school play to get children interested in reading. Her class picks Henny Penny, then they all die of the plague. Ok, not really. But they do get sick and all have to drop out. However the shown must go on, and so Rose, Blanche and Sophia all pitch in to make the play a success.

Do I need to tell you the story of Henny Penny? Well, I'm not going to. Look it up you lazy jerks. I know you have the internet!

Rose gets the titular role of Henny Penny, a clueless twit who gets hit in the head by an acorn and thinks the sky is falling. Blanche is Goosey Loosey, because she's a ho. Dorothy is naturally Turkey Lurkey, and she steals the show with her awesomeness. Sophia plays the Narrator. They are all A++ in my book! The song is awesome, the costumes are great, I love how each girl moves like each specific barnyard fowl (though Rose does it the best).

Brace yourselves, here it comes:

 Also, once you've watched it through a few times, go to 4:06. Dorothy's "Help!" is the very bestest.

Also also, Foxxy Loxxy is played by George Hearn, Broadway's original Demon Barber himself, Sweeney Todd. How perfect is it that they end up getting cooked in the end?

Golden Quote of the Day

Blanche has been researching her family tree to prove that she is 100% Southern, and is explaining to Dorothy how genteel and polite and demure Southern women are.

What the HELL is she wearing now?

I don't know if I should blame this on Blanche or Rue.

I want to believe these are pyjamas, then it wouldn't be so bad. But why is she wearing fancy heels, earrings and a full face of make up to bed? And yes, I guess Blanche would do all those things, but she would wear a sexier nightgown, with a dressing robe that flutters around her. So did Rue decide "Today I'm getting my pictures re-done, I should wear my pink polka dot pyjamas with the huge shoulder pads!".

Now this, this is the type of thing I expect from Rue/Blanche. Brue? Branche? A pink feathery monstrosity makes perfect sense. Sexxay!

Rose Loves Charlie

Aw, Rose...damn over-sentimental hormones...

Golden Quote of the Day

Golden Girls and 227

Is it just me, or are these almost the same show?

Ok, GG's were older, white ladies and 277 were middle aged to older black ladies, but lets just check this out:

Dorothy and Mary: Stern, bossy, somewhat domineering. Intelligent, kind hearted, opinionated. Strong characters, head of the household.

 Blanche and Sandra: Man crazy sluts. Crazy Southern accent and "Hi Maaaary!' Youngest of the group, most stylish. Selfish and stubborn, but will eventually come around.

 Rose and Rose: The nice ones. Positive, giving spirits, kind. Easy going, somewhat old fashioned. Both named "Rose".

 Sophia and Pearl: Old.

Also, they all live together. The GG's shared a house, 227 shared a building (and spent a hell of a lot of time on the stoop, the laundry room and Mary's appartment).

Both Dorothy and Mary have tall husbands-but that's the only similarity between Stan and Lester.

Work It Blanche!

Golden Mistakes

Season 4, Episode 23: Rites if Spring :  In this episode Sophia states she has never weighed more than 100 pounds in her life. Yet in Season 7, Episode 9: Ro$e Love$ Mile$ Sophia finds a list of things she wanted to accomplish in her life, on the list it says lose 200 pounds... and Sophia says, "did it!"

Rose is hot in leather

This lovely little Rose pin up comes from Ed Mironiuk Kinky and Kutie PinUps

Rose looks like some sort of Nazi Dominatrix, which would have been an interesting twist ending to the series. For the longest time I thought that was a swastika on her arm, but on closer inspection it seems to be the infinity symbol. Fitting, since White is apparently never going to die.

Golden Quote of the Day

Henny Penny fan Art BOOYAH!

That's right baby, from Henny Penny Straight No Chaser

Awesome! I would put a framed print of this in my bathroom. My guest bathroom, for all to see and wonder at its glory!

From left to right: Blanche as Loosey Goosey, Rose as Henny Penny, Sophia as the Narrator (who is dressed like Robin Hood for whatever reason) and Dorothy as Turkey Lurkey. Everything about this is excellent!

Even More Golden E-Cards

Still don't know what these are about...

Golden Soundtrack (to our lives)

You know what you need? A Golden Girls soundtrack. You know how I know you need this? Because I made one. That's right, and for as little as $29.95 you could have one too! Or, you could just download the songs and not pay me at all. In fact, since I don't own the rights to the songs you should probably leave me out of this all together.

Here goes:

Thank You for Being a Friend - Random Voice Lady

 

Thanks for the Medicare - Sophia Petrillo

I Got You Babe - Dorothy Zbornak, Sophia Petrillo

 

Mr. Sandman - Rose Nylund, Blanche Devereaux, Dorothy Zbornak

Miami Jingle - Rose Nylund, Dorothy Zbornak

 

I Wanna Be Loved by You - Blanche Devereaux

What'll I Do - Dorothy Zbornak

Classics, all of them! Hows sexy was Blanche as Marilyn? Dorothy's "Boom boom boom boom"'s? Sophia as Sonny Bono? Awesome,!

Rose: Thank you for seeing us home Miles.

Season 7, Episode 20: Rose, Portrait of a Woman

Bea Arthur and Sam the Eagle

From the Totally Looks Like site

Oh God, this one is too good. Sam's personality even kind of reminds me Dorothy, in a small way.

Estelle Getty's Monument

Estelle is buried in Hollywood Forever Cemetery, in Hollywood California. You can use their interactive site map to find her: http://www.hollywoodforever.com/interactive-site-map . She's sleeping next to Johnny Silver. I like the "With love and laughter", that's really sweet and simple. What it actually should say is "Picture it, Heaven 2008..."

Somebody is seriously into sexy old Uncle Angelo

Golden Quote of the Day

 

*This isn't a particularly funny moment, but look at that gorgeous Doberman!*

What the HELL is she wearing now?

Oh Blanche, what the hell?

 

Alright, to be fair she was auditioning for a role in a play ( Kate in The Taming of the Shrew), but honestly! Why did she get dressed at home? Why wouldn't she put on the costume when she got there? She looks like a sexy milk maid.

Also, what kind of a bitch is Rebecca? You can't just show up with no notice and demand your mother babysits. Jerk.
