. Blanche is a master class at shrugging off slut shaming and owning your lust.
. Sophia definitely has mob connections.
. There are way too many weight references but it was the 80’s and that was the thing. The fat-phobia was massive and carried into our lives in so many ways.
. The friendship is so real. The fights and the feelings. Women without men building lives together. issues with kids and grandkids and work and family and parents and dating. I am here for it.
. Blanches nightwear and at home wear is fabulous. All silk, kimono sleeves, strappy slips. I would wear all of it. Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia in their buttoned to the neck flannels is so not me.
. ALL THE RATTAN FURNITURE IN EVERY ROOM. Yes please.
. how they all aged so differently and how their clothes were so much of their characters. and all the fabulus clutch bags.
. I want to write the 2020 version of 50 something women. Who may have long hair, and wear jeans. Who date women and may not have she.her pronouns.
