Why Be A Lady? Horrors…
One of the Dolls, sweet as can be, sends an article, "Why Would I Want To Be A Lady?" She's a fellow Cotillion chick. After I called out for the butler to fetch my smelling salts and picked myself up from the floor, I phoned to thank her. Many do believe etiquette has left the… Continue reading Why Be A Lady? Horrors…
Perhaps It’s A Pickup You’re After…
Good news for our favorite car guy, Big Al Heggs. US News & World Report named Ram 1500 the top pickup for 2019. With an array of pickups for the taking, Heggs Auto can get you comfortably seated in next year's top choice. And what boy doesn't look good leaning up against a pickup? That's… Continue reading Perhaps It’s A Pickup You’re After…
Book Club Is A Mag…
Summer is over. The Dolls are back in The Dale. It's time to start Book Club again. With a twist. Always on the lookout for an interesting read, this month I stumble upon an entry that's a magazine. Kim Minert offers up the new magazine of the online variety that she just happened to create… Continue reading Book Club Is A Mag…
Online Fibbers…Oh My
Seems the single Dolls are none too happy about the boys' grievances. Not following? Last week, the boys expressed confusion as to what it is, exactly, girls want. While they didn't care for "everything," they did get an earful from the ladies. And the boys shot back with a list of their own. Refresher. On… Continue reading Online Fibbers…Oh My
It’s A Fever of Sorts…
There is the slightest break in morning air. Here in The Dale, that's big. It signals three digits are on the way out. It's Fall, of sorts. Though still stifling in the afternoon, soon we will, again, drink wine on the patio. Some girls lose our minds come Autumn. We believe Labor Day is the… Continue reading It’s A Fever of Sorts…
The Boys Have Questions…
Yes, there are boy Duchess Dolls. Every once in a while they come forward with opinions, questions and sometimes even corrections. They're wrong, but they're guys. You know, so we let them mansplain. I meet some new ones. "What do women want?" They don't like my answer, "Everything." Disclaimer: Every Doll is different. Boys, if… Continue reading The Boys Have Questions…
Do I Smell Football and Fashion?…
Two things make a girl giddy come Fall. Football and fashion. We can toss aside that sundress we've worn all summer. Loved it when we bought it--pre 120 degrees on the surface of the sun. After the 53rd wear, we're over it. Tired of making sure the thin strap stays up, not wearing a bra… Continue reading Do I Smell Football and Fashion?…
Vegas Baby…
The weekend finds us in Vegas for a wedding. Arizonans go to Vegas in the summer because we like to experience the surface of the sun a little more to the north and west. You know, for fun. The only place hotter than The Dale on any given August weekend is The Strip. We still… Continue reading Vegas Baby…
Bellas For The Win…
PR and Event girls are usually on the ready for just about anything. Last minute decorating snafus, guest no shows, clothing mishaps--we aren't fazed by much. It's kind of, "Shit happens, step over it." Generally we have a bag full of solutions. And safety pins. And mini sewing kits; not that I know how to… Continue reading Bellas For The Win…
