What does it really mean to be a Southern Gal ? Is it just being born south of the Mason Dixon line ? Is it simply being a member in good standing of the Junior League ... little black dresses , lily pulitzer, Jack Rogers and Jackie O pearls ... I aspire to be much like Jackie in her style ( heck I would gladly take her bank account and her slim profile too too ... ) but us southern girls don't evny what others have .. a true southern girl knows it's about family ... and good friends ... about quality over quantity , about proper english, making your debut, and Irish diplomacy ... southern women are strong on the inside yet gentle in demeanor ... we are well rounded in both sports and social circles... Southern girls have grace ...Southern Girls also have a good "go to " recipe from the Charleston Receipts Repeats of course - if not , I'm sure it will make the next edition - ... I am one of the lucky ones - a Southern gal born in Virginia and Southern by the Grace of God ! Lastly, a true southern girl knows the real meaning of Bless you Heart !
So to all my friends ... " Here's to the true hinges of friendship - swearing , lying , stealing, and drinking .
When you swear, swear by your country; When you lie, lie for a pretty southern woman; when you steal, steal away from bad company; And when you drink ... come drink with me ... !
