About

Self-obsessed caricatures of the PR world, Patsy and Edina are the sixties teenagers that never grew up, riotously drinking, partying and dressing up in ridiculous outfits, while Edina's swotty daughter Saffy looks on dismayed. With sharp humor the series lampoons fashion fads, celebrity culture and the excesses of the nineties. Guest stars include Elton John, Naomi Campbell, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lulu, and Twiggy.
