\nDear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m almost 35 and looking for a big change in my life. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nRecently 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!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nAm 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSincerely,
\nNice Day For A Debutant Ball<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nDear Nice Day,
\nUm, 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. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nKnowing 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. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nI 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. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSincerely,
\nPoor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
