"To us, the modern Southern Belle is a woman who is strong, independent, and above all else, adaptable. Southern girls know how to bake cakes and bait hooks; how to walk through the yard in heels and through church in cowboy boots; how to polish the good silver or polish the old saddle. In the course of a single afternoon, you might find a woman of the South changing her oil, singing in the church choir, swigging Maker’s out of the bottle, and gettin’ her hair did. Point is, Southern Belles not only know how to handle shit, but also how to do it gracefully."
