• Bless Its Heart...at Least I'm In Good Company... 05 August, 2008
Princess Margaret,hm? At least I'm in good company. Since I'm black, I'll never be a KKG, either. I read this book, and it was exactly as I expected: bittersweet, and amusing. I found myself calling my mother -- who confirmed that I did indeed have a silver pattern (and did I want to use it for Thanksgiving?), and that I could use the devilled egg platter too, if I wanted. My mother was never call herself a 'Belle' -- 'belles' were the women in whose tea rooms and kitchens my aunts worked in -- but she believed (as I do) in the same strong femininity that is espoused here. I attended a private southern university, too, and got to see a lot of the beauty queen/rush week behavior I read here -- and found a lot of it terribly silly. I feel about this book the way I mostly do about the place I call home: conflicted, but nowhere else (well, maybe the British countryside) would ever do.

• Hysterical Stuff For This Southern Gal 15 May, 2008
I love this stuff. As a Southern woman, it's always fun to take an inside look at some of the silliness we perpetrate here in the South. Of course, MOST of it is a humorous look at truly serious matters. (Is that the sound of laughter I hear?)
Best ever is the same book on tape read by Dixie Carter. Still trying to find that. It made me laugh until I needed to excuse myself.

• Another Name For This Book Is "the Southern Belle Bible" 27 April, 2008
I would give it more than 5 stars if there were more stars to give.
I was reared in the South, and brought up in true Southern tradition by a
Southern Belle Mom. Naturally a Southern Belle produces another Southern
Belle when she has a daughter. I never realized how many of these things
I do and say every day until I read the book about 14 years (I think) ago.
My friend found it in a local shop called The Southern Rose, and gave it
to me for my birthday. She wrote in it "for a true Southern Belle". Now
that I have some new "yankee" friends who want to know how to conduct
themselves at traditional Southern affairs, I purchased a copy for each
of them. They love it!! Dottie

• Sad But True 04 December, 2007
Yes, this is the story. Some of us escaped elsewhere (as exiles). Pat Conroy started Prince of Tides "Geography is my wound, my anchorage and my port of call" or something close to that. REMEMBER, HE WAS A GUY. For women, it is your wound forever, in some rather bizarre way your anchorage, but for me personally, rarely my port of call. It's another country.
I was in a sorority at Georgia during the 60s, the daughters of mostly blue collar parents. Despite winning the Sigma Chi derby in reality, the trophy was given to the Kappa Kappa Gammas by letting them pool derbies with another "blue blood" sorority.
And so it is with the South.
