Fabulous, Darling- Cheers!

Last month BBC aired a new episode of Absolutely Fabulous, its 20 year anniversary Christmas special. Us Yanks, don't get to watch it until this Sunday, January 8th on BBC America.



I am proud to call myself an anglophile and I have been avid watcher of this show since its beginning. I love how the show revolves around the fashion industry and the indulgence of vanity. Most of the time you think the show is just about two middle aged women who drink too much, smoke too much and shop too much; sometimes all at the same time!

One of my favorite characters on the show is Bubble, played by Jane Harrocks. I always hoped she would be in the next episode so 
I could see what crazy, outrageous outfit she would wear!

If I had watched this show in the 80s you might have thought she was my inspiration for some of  my ensembles. Almost 30 years later I still wear a crazy piece of clothing or two. She also plays 2 other characters on the show. I think she is completely brilliant!

Here are a few of my favorite Bubble outfits:




If you are not familiar with this show- I highly recommend you catch an episode or two. It is...Absolutely Fabulous!
