[babyhouseman]

[ShadowSixx]

E is for Esophogeal Spasm which Rose was hospitalized for :)

[BookThief]

F is for Father Leahy, whom Dorothy, through a series of misunderstandings, fretted was going to leave the church for her (much to Sophia's dismay).  These misunderstandings also made her dress like the mother of a Solid Gold dancer.

[camom]

G is for Gas, which Sophia apparently had a lot of.  ("You can't hear that from the hallway."  "I thought I was safe backed up against these pillows."  etc.)

[Cobalt Stargazer]

H is for Hernia, which Sophia supposedly got from moving the couch (please, it was wicker!) but really got from helping move a Volkswagen onto a friend's lawn as a joke.

[LilWharveyGal]

I is for Ice Cream, which gave Rose problems when the scoops were arranged in an obscene way.

[sgittinger]

J is for jewels, because Blanche thought she'd hidden them in the flour and wanted a good old fashioned southern hanging.

[ShadowSixx]

[Maherjunkie]

N is for Nurse Defarge, who wouldn't go away when told.

[LilWharveyGal]

O is for Obnoxious Children, which I think we'll all agree was a big problem for all the girls.

[Blakeston]

Q is for the Quiz that Rose thought she failed because she identified Hitler as Fritz Stickelmeyer.

[LilWharveyGal]

W is for Water that the girls had a problem with when it was leaking through the roof.  (Which led to one of my favorite scenes, the cabana club beach towel.)

[Blakeston]

(Which led to one of my favorite scenes, the cabana club beach towel.)

 

Dorothy: "Blanche, please. I am in no mood to hear about the parade of endless sexual encounters that you have experienced up and down the Florida coastline, with only this towel between your hot flesh and the cold, wet sand!"

Blanche: "I brought my son, Skippy, home from the hospital in this towel, Dorothy."

Dorothy: "You're lying, Blanche."

Blanche: "Damn, you're good."

 

 

Anyway...

 

X is for MaaloX (as in, the "we have maalox and estrogen" line from the burglary episode), which means that at least one of the girls had a very specific problem.

[ShadowSixx]

Y is for Yoko Zbornak which Sophia called Dorothy for breaking up fake rock 'n roll bands.

[LilWharveyGal]

Z is for Madame Zelda who predicted that anyone who moved into Blanche's house would die an agonizing death, which would certainly be a problem. 

 

For the next round, how about we do adjectives that describe the girls' clothes/accessories/wardrobes?  This could get really creative! :)

[Maherjunkie]

Did we already do that?  No beef, I'm flexible.

[LilWharveyGal]

I think we already did clothes, but by doing adjectives I thought people would have a little more choice and creativity.  For example, instead of having to pick one specific item for A, like Rose's Airplane Sweater, you could choose anything you thought was awful, awesome, antiquated, amphibian-like, angular, etc.

 

I dunno, maybe that's too fine a line.  If anybody else has an idea, that's fine.  I'm just easily entertained by rants/raves about their clothes. 

[Maherjunkie]

I'm cool with it.

[Blakeston]

A is for the Antiquated pilgrim-esque dress that Rose was going to wear on her date with Arnie, when she was afraid she'd kill him with sex.

[Maherjunkie]

B is for Dorothy's boots, which I don't hate but some of you do.

[LilWharveyGal]

C is for Comfortable and Cozy, which most of Dorothy's robe/pajama combos look like they would be, even though they're not the most fashionable.

[FormerMod-a1]

D is for the Different colors they always wore.  Meaning when in scenes together each one had on a different color (usually).

[ShadowSixx]

E is for Exquisite gowns & clothes they wore to charity events, galas, etc.

[LilWharveyGal]

F is for Frumpy, which Rose appeared to me to be in the episode where she moves to the beach.  Something about the sweaters and high-waisted pants, I guess.

[camom]

G is for Ghastly, which described Dorothy's ugly wedding dress.

[BookThief]

H is for hideous, which also describes Dorothy's ugly wedding dress.  (Really, this needed to be said twice). 

 

I is for the Improper-for-her-age outfits the other girls sometimes called Blanche out on wearing (though really, I'd be lucky to look half as good in outfits, ugly '80s fashion component aside).

[Bastet]

Ha - maybe the next round should be an A-Z list of adjectives describing just that construction paper garland wedding dress.

[FormerMod-a1]

J is for the Jewelry Dorothy wore that drew attention to her non-existent bosom.

[LilWharveyGal]

Heh, I bet we could do it, Bastet.

 

K is for Kinky, which I presume Blanche's rubber outfit was.

[ShadowSixx]

L is for laughable which also describes Dorothy's wedding dress.

[Blakeston]

M is for the muumuu-shaped outfits that Dorothy wore. Based on the way Bea Arthur dressed on Maude and The Golden Girls, I suspect that she was determined to hide the shape of her lower body as much as possible.
