We’ll Start Our Own Gang

May 14, 2008 by WendyB

One of you has to buy this sequined Antik Batik jacket. It’s on sale at Yoox for $130, down from $268.

I’ll wear my matching sequined Antik Batik dress.

We’ll start a terrifying gang called the Golden Girls and have violent initiation ceremonies.

For our more casual gang days, you’ll need a pair of Acne jeans like mine. They’re on sale at Yoox too.

UPDATED TO ADD: How could I have been so remiss? I neglected to mention that Golden Girl Bea Arthur celebrated her 86th birthday on May 13. Join my gang in Bea’s honor!

    As long as Kanye’s ‘Gold Digger’ can be our anthem, I’m in! I actually rather like the Antik Batik jacket and think that it’s simply the way it’s styled that makes it look rather 80’s-ish. I’d pair it with an almost-too-short, black tube dress with killer heels for a night out on the town!

    I have a gold sequined Betsy Johnson bolero…hopefully it will be enough to get me initiated into the gang.

    I only have a red sequin jacket, bummer. But maybe our gang can be like the Hell’s Grannies from Monty Python? (If you actually go to the clip, I’m pretty sure the grannies don’t start til like a minute through!

    Oh I want it! Funnily enough my gang is actually called the Golden Girls. But I refuse to be Blanche or Sophia.

    I think I’ll just borrow MK’s dress from the Met. That should do the trick, no?
