HC I want to know who determines what 'charm and poise' are?
HC me and a friend were discussing this?
HC are these standards arbitrary?
HC this always sparks an interesting discussion?
HC it's CLEARLY not 'acting white' because we have come across white folks who don't adhere to these 'rules?'
HC sooooo, where do they come from?
HC for the record, I have taken charm classes?
HC it was for a cotillion?
HC I brought my cotillion scrapbook to the school so that my girls could see that I'm not trying to get them to do something that I haven't already done myself?
