to be most aggrieved that I did not get married off in the last IPOAT thread? Won't someone think of Nigel?

[BeribbonedGibbon]

Well, am I?

Clarity, that's the key to IPOAT. Absolute sense and clarity.

I prefer to call it narrative cohesion.

Madame is the keeper of the scrolls. Depending upon the era she occasionally has to detail the events via a sampler. She is swift with a needle.
If we ever meet britany spears mayhap it will be recorded via tattoo

Mimi and some of her work...

Stealthy-Lou is ready for the ball

We are nearly ready<a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.ilovespinach.com/images/SouthernBelles.jpg&imgrefurl=www.ilovespinach.com/halloffame.html&h=439&w=400&sz=62&tbnid=A0u8vzo_8C105M:&tbnh=127&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsouthern%2Bbelles&zoom=1&q=southern+belles&hl=en&usg=__Hs0hdCwBCqI3J92dlw123eVOc7Q=&sa=X&ei=ZXnxTPeRFsuyhAe8n5ioDw&sqi=2&ved=0CEYQ9QEwCQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.ilovespinach.com/images/SouthernBelles.jpg&imgrefurl=www.ilovespinach.com/halloffame.html&h=439&w=400&sz=62&tbnid=A0u8vzo_8C105M:&tbnh=127&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsouthern%2Bbelles&zoom=1&q=southern+belles&hl=en&usg=__Hs0hdCwBCqI3J92dlw123eVOc7Q=&sa=X&ei=ZXnxTPeRFsuyhAe8n5ioDw&sqi=2&ved=0CEYQ9QEwCQ

Oh dear I'm not sure if that worked. I beg patience sisters I am a link virgin
Hides behind Virginia creeper, in embarrassment, nor can spell. 'twas not done at the finishing school.

Never mind, Mini dear, Ahm sure you can tinkle out "Dixie" very prettily on the pianola....

(Faaabulous new plates for The Kitchen, Mimi)

omigod, they are lush, in a very, very wrong way....

I am working very, very hard to suppress the development of an Anthropologie addiction.

What a fabulous name is Stealthy-Lou.

Well, ah declare! Are we ready - I can hear the fiddlers twanging and bowing fit to bust and I smell the tangy cologne and musk of cigars of our gentlemen attendees. What say we titter prettily and mince our delicate southern lady way into the ball?

Were you ladies gonna head to the ball without me?

Why, Big Daddy warned me you would try to secure the favour of the gentlemen by any means necessary but I told him you were good friends...

It's appears I was mistaken...

(does everyone else type in a southern accent in their head or just me?)

Beribboned I will be a while yet.

Remember that a late entrance always causes heads to turn and we will get the best beaux for sure

(also types in southern accent)

Why ah surely do!

Why Gibbon-Clem you do take on so! We's merely heading in early as Hully's poor swollen foot means that her mincing takes so much longer than your graceful glide. Why, we've been walking up the drive for clean five hours straight and we've not yet reached the steps of Tara!

I will be on the look out for Professor Presley of Gracelands who no doubt will give us all lessons in moving our hips in the Volita.

There. Is. Nothing. wrong. with. my. foot.

In fact, so beautiful are my feet, that peomes have been written about them and they are regularly strewn with flowers as I walk and heralded with gasps of astonishment and sharp intakes of delight.

Okay?

arf @ widow

Well, I will take your good word this time widow rae-mae but I will be keeping my eye on you all, oh yes I surely will.

It is true, a late entrance is most becoming on a lady, seems less eager I always say.

Mini dear, I have heard many a tale of the Professor you speak of. I don't think gentlefolk such as us should be mixing with that sort.

(Sooooo want these)

Would it be beyond the pale if aah wore this l'il old thing again?

arf at Hully's 'peomes'. Though Missy Hullabelle-Gullabelle does have such purty little feet.

Umami-Mae, am loving the little lady Christmas decoration thingies.

And I really love these: 'I've heard that they drink that oestrogen with their gumbo down the Biyoo'; and 'Oestro-gin, something similar to maiden juice?'
