Product Description
The Southern belle lives on, in a world of proprieties and protocols that would shame the Royal Family (and have). An uproarious guide to the manners, mores, and mystique of the legendary ladies of the South. What The Official Preppy Handbook did for the madras-and-penny-loafer set, A Southern Belle Primer does for the indestructible ladies from below the Mason-Dixon line.

 Hysterical Stuff for this Southern gal, 2008-05-15
I love this stuff. As a Southern woman, it's always fun to take an inside look at some of the silliness we perpetrate here in the South. Of course, MOST of it is a humorous look at truly serious matters. (Is that the sound of laughter I hear?)
Best ever is the same book on tape read by Dixie Carter. Still trying to find that. It made me laugh until I needed to excuse myself.

 Another name for this book is "The Southern Belle Bible", 2008-04-27
I would give it more than 5 stars if there were more stars to give.
I was reared in the South, and brought up in true Southern tradition by a
Southern Belle Mom. Naturally a Southern Belle produces another Southern
Belle when she has a daughter. I never realized how many of these things
I do and say every day until I read the book about 14 years (I think) ago.
My friend found it in a local shop called The Southern Rose, and gave it
to me for my birthday. She wrote in it "for a true Southern Belle". Now
that I have some new "yankee" friends who want to know how to conduct
themselves at traditional Southern affairs, I purchased a copy for each
of them. They love it!! Dottie

Sad but true, 2007-12-04
Yes, this is the story. Some of us escaped elsewhere (as exiles). Pat Conroy started Prince of Tides "Geography is my wound, my anchorage and my port of call" or something close to that. REMEMBER, HE WAS A GUY. For women, it is your wound forever, in some rather bizarre way your anchorage, but for me personally, rarely my port of call. It's another country.
I was in a sorority at Georgia during the 60s, the daughters of mostly blue collar parents. Despite winning the Sigma Chi derby in reality, the trophy was given to the Kappa Kappa Gammas by letting them pool derbies with another "blue blood" sorority.
And so it is with the South.

Well done, 2007-01-03
This is aptly titled as a primer on the Southern Belle and Southern culture. Its very well written, and would be a must for someone from places other than the South who is coming to live among us. Factual, funny, and real. We Southerners, and Southern women in particular are a complicated lot; but fun. Excellent read with understanding and lots of gentle, insightful humor.
