Absolutely Fabulous Season 1 (1992)
As I noted in the Pats and Eddy post, this is a very normal look for Bubble, comparatively speaking. IT SHALL NOT LAST.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 1 (1992)
And we're off! She looks like a Keebler elf.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 1 (1992)
Here, in France, Eddy looks like a normal human in 1992, HUGE SWEATER and all. You should know that Bubble is actually wearing a jumpsuit. It's like a giant onesie.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 1 (1992)
Who hasn't gone to work wearing a giant feathered wreath around her head?
Absolutely Fabulous Season 2 (1994)
And who hasn't gone to her boss's father's funeral as her designated mourner in a giant white fluffy coat and a fez? (Note: Bubble wears this coat more than once. Also, Mother looks rather chic.)
Absolutely Fabulous Season 2 (1994)
It was not the 4th of July. America was not even mentioned in this scene. Which is hilarious.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 2 (1994)
In which Pats is merely an obstacle in Bubble's way.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 3 (1995)
Season three here is where the show decided to dial Bubble's outfits up to....not even 11. Like 43.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 3 (1995)
You young people need to know that this hair is a very extreme version of what A LOT of women were doing to their heads with tiny butterfly clips in 1995. I don't know what to tell you. The 90s were very weird.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 3 (1995)
I imagine that Bubble went to a lot of raves in her off hours. Which, mentally, were all of them.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 3 (1995)
She might be wearing a Muppet here.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 3 (1995)
And I worry Big Bird was involved in this somehow. (Amusing sidenote: The man she is sitting next to is the assistant to Eddy's biggest PR rival, and his name is Squeak, making them Bubble and Squeak, after the iconic British foodstuff.)
Absolutely Fabulous Season 3 (1995)
I'm probably going to wear this to work tomorrow.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 3 (1995)
Sure, everyone needs SOME version of the quintessential French maid outfit, especially in a professional setting.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 4 (2001)
That skirt looks like a New Year's Eve party that would turn out to be really, really fun. Except for the infestation of shoulder-caterpillars.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 4 (2001)
This is the obvious choice for a day trip to Paris.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 4 (2001)
The best part about the orange netting is that when she stood up, they were shaped like old-school jodhpurs.
Is it wrong that I kind of want to try on the psychedelic cape?
Absolutely Fabulous Season 4 (2001)
Here, she is clearly a walking child's beanbag chair.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 4 (2001)
This all seems quite normal, suddenly.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
As does this. It doesn't take much of Bubble to change your definition of "fine."
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
I assume a hoedown was imminent.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
She would make a magnificent elf.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
I always found Bubble best in very small doses, but what potent doses they were.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
If Newsies were rewritten into a horror movie about crafting.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
Who even knows. (I googled Pat's Arctic Cat and it comes up with a snowmobile service place in Pennsylvania.)
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
ALERT: SKIRT OF TIES. Kelly Clarkson and Bubble officially have something in common. Actually Bubble might have made From Justin To Kelly a lot more watchable.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
We badly needed one more glimpse of that skirt, plus how Seussian the headgear is.
Absolutely Fabulous Season 5 (2003)
Contrary to the visuals, this was not a five-year old's birthday party.
Ab Fab 20th Anniversary Specials (2011-12)
Bubble with an even louder voice: terrifying.
Ab Fab 20th Anniversary Specials (2011-12)
I could not resist a shot of Bubble consuming bubbles.
Ab Fab 20th Anniversary Specials (2011-12)
And this, I knew Fug Nation would appreciate. She's describing the royal wedding to Saffy, who has been in prison, and here is using two soft pretzels to pretend to be Bea.
Ab Fab 20th Anniversary Specials (2011-12)
You THINK you're drinking it all in, and then you notice the cats on her socks.
Ab Fab 20th Anniversary Specials (2011-12)
This appears to be a calmer era of Bubble, though, in general.
Ab Fab 20th Anniversary Specials (2011-12)
Albeit one with a lot of hair sprigs.
Ab Fab 20th Anniversary Specials (2011-12)
This was from the Olympics episode. I would like to have seen her build a velodrome for that tricycle.
Ab Fab 20th Anniversary Specials (2011-12)
Instead, she made a balance beam behind the couch. Say what you will about her effectiveness as an assistant, but she DOES have an industrious streak.
