“Oh, girls, I just had the most wonderful time!” Blanche gushed as she floated into the kitchen where two of her roommates were seated at the kitchen table. She was cloaked in a blush-tinted chiffon evening gown with gold chains dangling around her neck and large golden hoops adorning her ears.
“Well, clearly not good enough if you’re home before midnight on a Saturday!” Dorothy quipped. “Would Chuck Davis not put out?”
