Southern Belle
Keeping in the true spirit of the charm and grace of the Old South
Where...
Ladies Would Not,
Gentlemen should not,
and Children Must Not,
Disturb the peace and tranquility of this place
What A Southern Belle Does NOT Do:

Never wear white shoes or carry white handbags before Easter or after Labor Day.

A Southern  Belle Never Curses beyond -- Dad-gum-it and Fiddle Dee Dee in public.

Let a gentleman know what she is thinking. If she suspects he may know what she's thinking she must then change her mind.

Take out the trash, mow the lawn or change the oil in the car. Belles simply do not acknowledge these chores exist.

A Southern Belle would never dream of doing something
today that she could think about tomorrow.

A true southern belle never lets the man she's "after"
see her first thing in the morning

Never eat large amounts in public... they only nibble and say that they aren't hungry.

Does not call men on the telephone.

Never sweats.

Never blows her nose in public.  In fact she might not EVER blow her nose!

Never has a single gray hair until they're darn ready to have one!

What A Southern Belle Does Do

They use the word "audacity" in everyday conversation

They can chug-a-lug 3 Mint Juleps in one sitting.

They swoon and then faint when a Daddy Long-Legs spider comes within 25 feet of them

The can be in complete control of any given situation and still respond "Why Suh! Whatevah do yuh mean by that?"

Is always soft spoken

Is witty and charming

Is a bit mysterious

Is kind, considerate, and always a lady

Loves being a woman and uses her femininety to the utmost power

They call their father "Big Daddy".

They teach their children to call him "Big Daddy."

Everyone else calls him  "Big Daddy".

Keeps the parasol industry in business
