I swear I saw the #GoldenGirls at the Art Institute today #torloniacollection
cpp of three male marble busts from the Torlonia collection currently at AIC which all feature very curly hairstyles that look suspiciously like the time the Golden Girls went to get their hair done at a salon for little old ladies Edited screenshot from the Golden Girls episode Rites of Spring showing Rose, Dorothy, and Blanche all with the same "old lady" hairstyle of very tightly permed short cut
