I hope that I will never have to live outside of the South. Other places in the US are quite lovely to visit, but there is something about the South that just feels like home... maybe it's the syrupy sweet accents. I must admit, as slow as Ace from The Real World Paris seems, everytime he opens his mouth I just bust out into a big ol' enchanted grin. Hearing a real Southern accent on TV is a pleasure that we don't often get to experience. Anyway, that's a little off-topic.
It's difficult to precisely explain the beauty of a Southern woman to a person who has never really been around it. Yes, Rudey, women in Manhattan dress quite well, but it's not about the price of the clothing or the latest trends. Actually, born-and-bred Southerners will almost always choose tradition over trend.
It's all about POLISH and SPARKLE. Southern women always like to look our best... This may well be due to the fact that, on a Saturday morning at the grocery store, you are likely to run into every single soul you know in a small Southern town. And you definitely don't want old Miss Eugenia goin' home and telling her family, "Y'all, I saw Suzy's little girl Jennifer at the Food Lion this mornin' and... well... bless her heart... " Because anything that begins with "Bless her heart" is bound to be slightly offensive!
Anyway... I can't imagine a life without Chick-fil-a, a world where you order tea and it is hot and in a teacup, a world where shagging is something straight from Austin Powers... How very sad I would be!
