I went to school with a bunch of Southern Belles who all planned to join the Junior League. It seems like that was one of the rites of passage, along with being a debutante for many of them. As a "Yankee" I never had to worry about whether or not I'd fit in enough to be in the Junior League, because I just wouldn't. I guess it's not for everyone ;)Cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787927933858782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321105.post-9073010794891904372010-05-05T20:25:51.089+00:002010-05-05T20:25:51.089+00:00Trooper Thorn - I had no idea.

It is beyond "incident" and closer to "prolonged period of insanity." But then I reflect on the number of such periods over the years and think "prolonged insanity?" I think you WANT to be a joiner, but really, what group is COOL ENOUGH for you? <br /><br />My first job out of college involved working on a project with some Junior League financial backing. Each time we met they were not so secretly horrified at my lack of an "outfit." One of the women started an affair with another funder supporting the project, which I learned about from the person who cut my hair. Very Desperate Wannabe Housewives. Upon successful completion of the project they presented me with a purse.Kathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321105.post-10159226403482158922010-05-05T10:52:58.925+00:002010-05-05T10:52:58.925+00:00Kiki - Yes.
