i know that in being Southern, we get a lotta crap. made fun of for farmer tans, having red-necks, all driving big pick em up trucks, the way we talk, and our bad racist history. but not all things Southern are bad or worthy of being made fun of.
in the South, we do indeed have Southern Belles (where i am from, just as a sidenote, we have Azalea Trail Maids....srs in hs who are picked throughout Mobile, AL to be kind of ambassadors to visitors to the city.....)
i had already moved to KY when my sr year rolled around, so i missed out on it. believe it or not, it's a huge deal and a BIG honor....not everyone gets picked and it's cut-throat.
in general, Southern gals do have a special charm about them....esp old Southern ladies.....true class and elegance when they're 80 makes them still seem like young women.
Southern hospitality....can't find it everywhere, so don't kid yourselves.
Southern Gentlemen....oh yes, and these, too, really do exist! a Southern man
always holds the door open for
all women...no matter how old, young, cute, busted they are. they always show respect, remove their hat in a building/when meeting parents, and just in general are nice guys. they basically know when they are in the presence of a lady, and act accordingly.
the South has beaches, mountains, sun and snow......a billion different types of culture.....a strong and proud history to counter our weak and disappointing one (disappointing in that my ancestors could be like that, not that we lost or whatever....for those of you who may like to blow that up)
i love being Southern, i am proud to be Southern........so, yay being from the South!
