Christmas Carry-On

Today, I’m flying South for the holidays. My Christmas carry-on contains:
champagne, shoes, party invitations on proper Crane stationary, a blue silk dress for the family cocktail (in case Delta loses my checked luggage), Anita Loos’ slim little book, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” three hard-boiled eggs and salted pecans for the layover in Memphis. Am I missing anything? I’ve got sustenance for the mind and body…that should cover it all.

Happy Holidays, y’all!

    Just found this blog. Love it. Good to hear the word ‘ya’ll’ from a girl who knows the value of a good pair of Louboutins.

    I think that for the first time, you said something that I find to be a bit on the offensive side. Granted, you celebrate Christmas, but why do we as a society have to say “Happy Holidays” when simply acknowledging the holiday you’re celebrating is what should be accepted? It’s something to think about.

    Hope your holidays were happy!

    Mmmmm–you reminded me of the sugared pecans my mother makes every year! (Yes, I’m definitely homesick!)

    Ok, the fact that you carry your blue silk dress and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” is just beyond cool!

    The word is stationery! And you call yourself a writer?

    Miss V. -
    People who correct others’ spelling on a blog should be summarilly shot.

    We’re here to read Belle’s thoughts, musings, and manifestos. You don’t get to judge, correct, or nullify.

    Sorry, Belle.
    Didn’t mean to get up on my soapbox, I’m just tired of all the rudeness out here in the blogosphere.

    Hope you had a fabulous Southern Christmas!
