"Well color me totally psyched: Absolutely Fabulous, a long-running British comedy that certainly lives up to its name, is coming to the States. And wait--just wait!--until you see the wardrobe. Absolutely Fabulous (or Ab Fab, as we loyalists like to call it) is about two boozy, cruisey, perpetually-on-the-prowl-for-shoes-and-dudes women named Patsy and Edina who have all kinds of hilarious misadventures under the influence of champagne and credit cards. &amp;quot;Sweetie, darling&amp;quot; is their preferred catchphrase and anything disturbingly tacky, their preferred method of dress. And according to the Daily Mail, a U.S. version of the series is currently being filmed in Los Angeles, starring Kristen Johnston and Kathryn Hahn as the lovable lushes. There&amp;#x27;s no word yet on who&amp;#x27;s doing the wardrobe (damn you, IMDB!), but it&amp;#x27;s obviously going to be outrageous. Check out the new version, top, and the original, bottom--how can you not fall in love with these women? They make Kath &amp;amp; Kim look like Princess Diana and a librarian! I was a huge fan of the original when it used to air on BBC America, so I hope this one lives up to it (critics aren&amp;#x27;t terribly optimistic, but as soon as I saw those leopard leggings and matching purse, I was smitten!). Check out a clip from the original series below: What do you guys think--will you tune in to Ab Fab? Have you already seen the British version? And how positively hilarious are these outfits going to be!? Photos: top, Splash News, bottom, courtesy of the Everett Collection"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
