I always thought it was funny that I was encouraged to take etiquette, cotillion, etc even though it was clear early on I was not gonna be Junior League material [I showed up at my "debut" with purple spiked hair].<br /><br />Gotta admit though, there are days I still think it would be great to have the money & social connections to get an invite to one of those type events, just to shake things up a little.Raine @ Mama Rantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655718100011974144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777057959699670450.post-61889102168336619922010-03-04T00:00:09.890-05:002010-03-04T00:00:09.890-05:00Ha!

Those two men have probably been through hours and hours of training to recognize "outsiders," so I wouldn't feel too bad. They were probably just jealous that they had to jump through so many hoops to be part of the club, and here you were just allowed to walk right in! :-)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029614712855760844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2777057959699670450.post-33107503470152249972010-03-03T13:08:53.200-05:002010-03-03T13:08:53.200-05:00Too funny.
