To us, the modern Southern belle is a woman who is strong, independent, and above all else, adaptable. Southern girls know how to bake cakes and bait hooks; how to walk through the yard in heels and through church in cowboy boots; how to polish the good silver or polish the old saddle. In the course of a single afternoon, you might find a woman in the south changing her oil, singing in the church choir, swigging Maker’s out of the bottle, and gettin’ her hair did. Point is, Southern belles not only know how to handle shit, and also how to do it gracefully.

My southern theme finale:
Song of the South - Alabama
Song, song of the South
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth
Gone, gone with the wind
Ain’t nobody lookin back again
“In the South, the breeze blows softer… neighbors are friendlier, nosier, and more talkative. . This is a different place. Our way of thinking is different, as are our ways of seeing, laughing, singing, eating, meeting and parting. Our walk is different, as the old song goes, our talk and our names. Nothing about us is quite the same as in the country to the north and west. What we carry in our memories is different, too, and that may explain everything else.” (via tcone)
