A Fav New York Moment: Golden Girls Night (Dedicated to Rue McClanahan)


In the continued reflection of my favorite times in New York and the near completion of my bucket list, I am compelled to write about one of my favorite things (if not, my FAVORITE thing), The Golden Girls. I was devastated to hear of Rue McClanahan's death this morning.
RIP, Waterlily.
A few months ago, Time Out New York posted one of their "your perfect Saturday" items on Twitter. My jaw dropped when one of the listings was "We Love the Golden Girls Tribute." My ggpic (golden girls partner in crime), Allison, and I ventured to the historic West Village bar, the Stonewall Inn. The evening started off quiet (but hey, we were pretty early) with cocktails and famed GG episodes playing on the television screens. There were fantastic drag queens walking around and a crazy flow of GG devotees dressed as their favorite characters (men and women alike.) It was quite a perfect evening...And as appropriate as Blanche's raunchy comments, the Stonewall served cheesecake on a stick! The evening concluded with a long (yea, maybe a bit too long) drag show with breaks for GG trivia questions (Allison and I were both brought to the stage...and both answered our questions correctly!)
Pictures of the evening were posted online:

Please tell me your favorite Golden Girls moment (esp. featuring Blanche Devereaux).

One of my fav quotes:
Blanche: Oh hi Rose.
Rose: Hi Blanche.
Blanche: What's wrong?
Rose: Oh it's Miles. Lately he's been kind of, well, tight and I hate it.
Blanche: Well I'm just the opposite, I love a tight man. Tight man with cast iron pecs....Thighs that could choke a bear.....Butt you could eat breakfast off of...Then the two of us would...(She looks at Rose) Well Rose! When'd you get in?!
Rose: Blanche, I've been here the whole time! I was telling you about Miles being tight!
Blanche: Oh I LOVE A TIGHT MAN! Tight man with cast iron pecs, and thighs--
Rose: No, tight with money! He's cheap!
Blanche: Tight with money? DUMP him!
