A business friend once couldn't believe me when I said "you need to watch this show called Absolutely Fabulous." Her eyes widened and couldn't believe a guy liked the show and especially one from the Brits. I told her it's one of the best shows that the Brits ever produced and these two women make me laugh over and over again. Wish they would do maybe 5 or 6 more shows when they're at the senior age and get them out there. We need so much better entertainment than what's out there today. My friend passed away and every time I watch the show I think of her. Here's to you Nance!

Those of you who watched AbFab already know this, but what Jennifer Saunders left out was how her character fell out ass-first from a cab in the present, then it went to a flashback in which she as a young woman doing the same thing. It was hilarious! Didn't know that was based upon what she saw Bananarama doing in the '80s.

Absolutely Fabulous is my life. I’ve spent time around people just like Patsy and Eddie. I think it’s the one series I can quote word for word. Every single part. Every character. I love it so much. It’s Absolutely Fabulously Iconic. One of the funniest scenes that always has me laughing is when Patsy is sat next to Eddie who is giving birth and she’s dressed as Purdy. It was full circle.

I adore Ab Fab. Patsy is my sister hands down. And because I'm more of a hippie child however genius, I'm more like Edina. True story. The movie premiered at a theater downtown Denver. I only lived a few blocks from it so I decided to walk. It's summertime so I had these big sunglasses on and this big white floppy hat because I'm allergic to the sun. Didn't think anything of it. I got welcomed into that theater like I was a cast member and got invited for drinks after the movie. It never occurred to me I was dressing like Edina.
