happy 30th!..

Betsey Johnson and Chantal Bacon

“I went into business the year that the working
woman’s wardrobe and shoulder pads were really in
and really powerful, but my inspiration was Danskin
leotards. Then came Jane Fonda running down the
street. It was like, ‘Wooo! Hallelujah!’”
— Betsey Johnson

At the Jan. 27, 1988, show.

When asked which of these Betsy considers most important -- sex, laughter, music or fashion -- she answered, "All of them!
It's a miracle. I have all of them!
But not marriage.
I won't do that again. Lovers? Yes!"

Congrats to 30 years of hot pink fabulousness!
