What Wendy Wore: Golden Girls Gang Does Vegas

November 7, 2011 by WendyB

Since 2008 — and inspired by a gold sequin Antik Batik dress — I’ve wanted to organize a terrifying gang called the Golden Girls. Membership would require the wearing of gold sequins, the ability to strike the WendyB pose and maybe a violent initiation ceremony just to keep things lively.

The dress in 2008. Click for original post.

The dress in 2009. Click for original post.

I unexpectedly achieved my gangsta goal this weekend in Las Vegas, where my gorgeous friend Tina the Occasional Cook was continuing her birthday celebration from the previous weekend. I didn’t know she would bring the gold sequin Vicky Tiel dress she wore at her gold-themed birthday party. But I’m glad she did because I haven’t taken a good “twins” photo in a year!

Note our excellent leg crossing skills!

We got the sequins and the posing down, but we failed to commit any acts of violence. Or did we? What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

    My boyfriend was back in Vegas this weekend too, I couldn’t go but now seeing this makes me so nostalgic for it. Never would have thought I’d still miss the place a year later.

      When you love a dress, I KNOW I picked a good one! Would it be worthy of your store?

    So hot! I’m picturing a fist fight with emoticon rings… like a temporary gang tattoo/branding thing!

    I think I already earned membership in the original Golden Girls, or at least life is imitating art lately.

    Gorgeous! But wait … can two people really be a gang? Kingpins, OK, but a full gang? Just sayin’.

      Ha ha! That’s what Tina and I were wondering. I decided every gang has to start small!
