Flashback: The Golden Girls on Gay Marriage
The Golden Girls were wise beyond their collective years. (And that's really saying something!) In this snippet, Blanche's brother is marrying a man (you could do that then, apparently) and the Southern belle is not charmed. But leave it to Sophia to dole out the only argument ever really needed for gay marriage: they love each other.
Thank You For Being a Friend? Miami Has the Least Volunteers
Though the quintessential Miamian, the late Sophia Petrillo, might disapprove —the Southern city has just been found at the bottom of the friendly heap. Miami comes in dead last in a study of volunteerism in 50 major US cities. Possible causes for the falloff could include traffic, an exploding number of new immigrants, or the better offer of time on the beach.
Farewell, Estelle!
We love us some Golden Girls here at GiggleSugar, so it was very sad to hear that Estelle Getty, my favorite Golden Girl, passed away yesterday, three days before her 85th birthday. Estelle got her start in the Yiddish theater and as a comedian in the Catskills' "Borscht Belt." Her star began to rise when she played Harvey Fierstein's mother in the Broadway production of Torch Song Trilogy, but it was her role as the wise-cracking, take-no-prisoners Sophia on The Golden Girls that made her a comic legend.
Sex and the Assisted Living Facility
The open secret's out! The Golden Girls was really the original
Geriatric Sex and the City
Some people say that Sex and the City had an older (in more ways than one) precursor: The Golden Girls. Carrie is to Dorothy (Bea Arthur) as Samantha is to Blanche (Rue McClanahan), etc. Well, I tell you what, I would almost rather see this following version than the upcoming movie!
Baking Up the Golden Girls
The Golden Girls is a classic TV program that will never die. Even if we play cookie voodoo on the ladies and bite off each of their doughy little heads, the show will live and prosper in syndication for eternity. Nice try, but there's just no doing away with it folks.
Teenage Mutant Golden Girls
Mashups have officially jumped the shark with this one. Someone decided to pay homage to the Golden Girls via the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and somehow produced something totally literal and off-the-wall. And unlike most mashups that get you to think about the mashed-up things differently, this one manages to illuminate neither TGG or TMNT.
The Golden Girls Get Clueless
I never thought I'd ever want to hear my favorite TV grannies talk of sluts, and crooked...bananas, and liking 'em "big"- however, this is too hilarious to reject. Plus, Betty White's cornrows rock!
Another (Golden) Reason Not To Exercise
So while the other three were away on a condom run, this granny was getting her jazzercise on to get in shape for...sex? What the...what? I'm beginning to figure out what gives these girls that extra special golden glow.
The Golden Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
Watch "ultra-sensitive" Rose blush at the check-out counter while trying to purchase a pack of condoms for her...uh, grandchildren? Eeeew. Either way you think about it- it's just wrong.
