Dear Poor Lucky Me,
I’m almost 35 and looking for a big change in my life.
Recently I moved to Tennessee and have gotten more familiar with the debutant culture down here. I love it! It’s so pointlessly lovely. It’s so unnecessarily extravagant!
Am I too old to get in on the debutant thing? I’m willing to diet and take poise and diction classes. I think the wedding dress from my first marriage could come in handy too.
Sincerely,
Nice Day For A Debutant Ball
Dear Nice Day,
Knowing how to walk with a book on your head will only get you so far in life, but knowing how to play a kick ass game of golf may allow you entry into a part of the business world that other girls can only dream of.
Sincerely,
Um, gosh. Errr. This is a difficult subject for me to approach objectively. Let’s see, how can I put this? Oh! Here you go…if you want unnecessary extravagance and expensive outfits, why don’t you just join a country club? That way when you come out the other side of what I hope is just a stage in your life, you won’t have a box full of pictures like the one above. Instead, you’ll know how to play golf and tennis.
I don’t want to keep you from following your dream, I just want to point out that maybe what you need can be fulfilled in a more modern socially acceptable way. Plus, country clubs usually have pools.
Poor Lucky Me
Thank you, THANK YOU PLM! I was just on my way to the community center with my check for the fee for the Men’s 30 and over category when I read your answer.
Now I am sitting in the clubhouse of my new Country Club!
