NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  Betty's the only one left now.  The Castro is in mourning.

The Castro is in mourning.

Forget about the Castro! What am *I* going to do???
When I was depressing over the breakup of my Conjugal Experiment earlier this year, I watched every single episode of "TGG" on YT. Rue got me through the hard times, teaching me, more than Stella ever did, how to get my groove back. Now I'll revisit the best scenes to mourn appropriately.

that is -- sincerely -- the best epitaph Ms. McClanahan could ask for. 

I think the SATC girls should re-make the Golden Girls 15 years from now. Kim Cattrall would be Blanche, obviously.

I don't think that's a good idea, at all. I've never seen the show, but those girls seem a bit too...insipid to be stepping into the shoes of such greats (although I admit to having a secret hot love for Cattrall).
