If you’re not familiar with Absolutely Fabulous, get thee to Amazon.com.
The British sitcom ran on and off from 1992 to 2005. It stars Patsy (Joanna Lumley) and Edina (Jennifer Saunders), a washed up model and a wannabe PR dame who spend almost the entire series drunk, stoned and decked out in the loudest Moschino and tightest maybe-Alaia they can find.
Patsy and Edina’s fashion obsession led to an insane roster of guest stars including Lacroix, Zandra Rhodes, Gaultier, Erin O’Connor, Twiggy and even Naomi Campbell.
So, we’re kind of jumping for joy that Fox confirmed they’ve picked up the re-make and will debut it later this year (Saunders, the original Edina, has signed on as Executive Producer). This means fashion, fashion, fashion on TV in the form of a killer costume department and hopefully some major guest stars.
Because while Victoria Beckham on TV is fun, a Patsy and Edina meet the Costello boys meet Jourdan Dunn would be life-changing.

UH HELLO! This is anything but good, unless they bring back the orginial cast and the fcc looks past some of the non-kosher things they did in the show then it will be amazing. But none the less look what happened to Kath and Kim they brought to America and it wasnt nearly as good as the original.
We can all only hope that the new abfab doesnt meet the same fate.
