Inspired by Radar's nostalgia for Donatella Versace's finer, pre-blackout moments, we're going to indulge an old-but-fabulous Donatella story which, according to our lawyers, we are presenting you in a big bucket of "allegedly:"

Anywho: Before Gianni Versace was killed, he let Donatella work on some of his less expensive items (an oxymoron, we know). One show in particular was heavy on the red, white and vinyl. After the show, Donatella was allegedly heard discussing the inspiration for the collection. In her lovely accent, she opined, "It's all about the deeesco." Really, Donatella? Do tell. "It's so obvious! The white, it is the cocaine; the plastic, it is the straw. And the red, it is when the blood comes out the nose!" Cue silence and then quiet, nervous laughter.

Ah, those were the days. Isn't reminiscing about the unconfirmed rumormill is so much fun?
