“Te Voy A Matar, Puta!”: Ladies, To Your Corners!

The telenovela’s single greatest achievement: perfecting the spectacle of hissing drag queen manqués in mall wear whalin’ on each other.

Stay Golden: The Golden Girls Go Beyond The Valley of The Dolls

Do check out On The Set’s amazing array of TV set dollhouse replicas (he’s stacked, by the by), including this jaw-droppingly awesome miniature take on The Golden Girls set.

The Falcon 35th Anniversary Box Set boasts for fucking decades of boner-baiting, haunch-banging, ass-blasting action, beginning with the heyday of the porn-stached ’70s and continuing down the loooong line to the cum-basted New Millennium.
