HOW TO BE A SOUTHERN BELLE
by Amanda Galiano



All Southern women strive to be Belles.

Difficulty: Hard

Time Required: It's a full time job.

Here's How:

1. Offer Mint Julep or Iced Tea to everyone who visits

your home.

2. Eat grits everyday for breakfast.

3. Refer to your house as "The Plantation" no matter how

small your house may be.

4. Refer to all men as"gentleman caller" or "beaux".

5. Never let a man know that you are interested, because there

are too many men that want you to expend the extra effort.

6. Whenever you are asked to do any work, fan yourself and

claim to have the "vapors".

7. Always refer to humidity as "sticky".

8. Refer to every party, even if it is a kegger, as a cotillion

All other parties are Yankee garbage.

9. Try to use words like darlin', suga' , sweety, or hun in every sentence.

10. Belong to the country club. If you don't, refer to any club you

belong to as the "Country Club"- no one will know the difference.

11. Sit under a magnolia tree with a parasol, fanning yourself.

Passer-bys will notice your Belle-ness.

12. Never marry a Yankee , unless you have no problem being

a Yankee by association.

13. Never be seen without your make-up or girdle.

AND REMEMBER:

1. A parasol and an umbrella are not the same thing.

You will never be a Belle if you do not know the difference.

2. Being a Belle is a lifetime of work. Practice everyday.

Funny Stuff!

Peace.
