Thank You For Being a Friend!

I saw that this was posted on Etsy and had to repost it here! My Granny and I used to watch Golden Girls all the time (before I knew what half the jokes meant, which now make me blush).

Bea Arthur passed away this weekend at the age of 86. To those that know and love her, Bea's contributions to the world of television as democratic dynamo Maude Findlay and teacher-cum-Brooklynite Dorothy Zbornak will not soon be forgotten. This woman epitomized dolman sleeves, oversized tunics, pantsuits, and a fashion sense very directed by gold lamé. (Who else could pull of a mint green velvet suit, complete with bow tie?)

In short, Dorothy owned her style and her attitude. She stood up for a different kind of woman that conventional television audiences had never encountered. Her dry wit and zingers always left Golden Girls audiences laughing. Bea made aging seem not quite so scary for women, and her performances as Maude and Dorothy were groundbreaking and memorable.

Here's to you, Bea! Thank you for being a friend!
