I Might Could Be Offended
Look what I found while shopping for green face paint and pink sparkly false eyelashes? A Southern Girl wig. Right next to the mullet wig.
After I stopped laughing, I thought hey now, I’m a Southern Girl and I am raising a Southern Girl. We’re much classier down here these days, let me tell you.
Honestly, if you ask me, this chick is totally Jersey. I should know. I was a Jersey Girl circa 1987, when they sold 2-foot-tall hair spray cans and if the wind blew your bangs moved as a unit.
Fight’n words, I know.
This evening, we will be at a Halloween party here in The South. I will be a beautiful butterfly with glittery face. My husband refuses to go as a lepidopterologist.
“Might could?” You mean you’re “fixing to go to” a Halloween party, no? If I wanted to dress up like the folks around here, I’d throw on an Auburn t-shirt, Nike shorts, Ugg boots and wear my pearls.
Yes, I am “fixin” at this very minute…The party “is down the road a piece.” And, my husband is going to “carry” me there. Cua, Cua, Cua.
I love my people here, don’tchaknow?
I’d like pictures of you in that get-up!
Y yo me hacia esos peinados en los 60,that is how I wore my hair in early 60,remenber my picture?
Another good post and one of the many I’ve read about Halloween playing up stereotypes about other people’s cultures! I’m still up in arms over the “illegal alien” costume.
Illegal alien? OMG. I must go google.
Mami, you were Jersey before Jersey was cool…
Ah jist LUHvvv it, though it wouldn’t be a costume where I’m from…more like everyday wear.
Thank you, mi hija
