No one looked better in a caftan
My weekend spent eating a four-layer peppermint cake and watching vintage Mitzi Gaynor DVDs took a sad turn on Saturday when I heard that Bea Arthur had passed away. She wasn't the kind of classic Hollywood beauty who looked fantastic in anything, but she did show the "Maude" generation how to wear a knee-length polyester vest like nobody's business. Her bigger-than-life "Golden Girls" ensembles also showed that despite her size, she wasn't afraid to rock some extra large shoulder pads.
Thank you for being a fashion friend, Bea.
