aquarian1 18,405 June 22, 2014 The rules: We take a character, prop or episode (or anything, really) and run through the alphabet to find things that highlight the subject. Whoever finishes a run with Z gets to choose the next topic. Let's start with Blanche! A is for adultery. More prevalent in Blanche's life than she knew. (Her father, Big Daddy, and Mammie Watkins; and her husband with the surprise son.) Share this post Link to post
LilWharveyGal 12,367 June 22, 2014 B is for (perky) Bosoms. Whether they were perfect champagne-glass-sized orbs of dancing loveliness, or had more air pressure than Dorothy's rear tires. Either way, notice how they seem to follow you wherever you go? 2 Share this post Link to post

Stinger97 1,657 June 23, 2014 Not to be a fuddy-duddy, but the point of this round of the game is to name things that relate to Blanche (and not just the show in general). Let's read the OP before posting, folks. 2 Share this post Link to post
