What is a southern belle?
if you're from the south and lady are you one or is there a racial tinge to this term?What is a southern belle?A Southern Belle is a young woman from the South who is affluent, well dressed, and well mannered. Historically, it could only be applied to White females; but, more recently, the term has evolved and can technically be used to describe any Southern woman. The archetype of the "Southern Belle" was formed in the Old South (aka pre-Confederacy, pre-Reconstruction, pre-twentieth century), which was ruled by morals, a Christian theocracy, strict unwritten social rules and regulations, and - perhaps most importantly - a very class-oriented society much like that of England. The upper class had all of the political power, owned all of the land, and controlled much of the economy; therefore, upper class families were seen by everyone below them as role models, leaders, and in some ways idolized, much like how celebrities today are seen by society. Because of the immense amount of pressure, the men and women of these families were supposed to act as proper as possible according to their genders. In the case of upper class Southern women, they were expected to dress only a certain way, speak only a certain way, stand only a certain way, eat only a certain way, walk only a certain way, look only a certain way, and live their lives only a certain way all in a massive effort to fit a certain mold. All of this proper-ness carried out by the elite women in an attempt to fit that mold led to that mold being called the "Southern Belle" because, first and foremost, they were Southern (because "Northerner" was somehow the epitome of an inferior class), and secondly because they were beautiful ("Belle" is French for "beautiful).What is a southern belle?Usually it's a BBW
What is the average life span of a WDW princess?
like the ones you see walking in the parks at Disney World (belle, jasmine, Ariel, cinderella.) I know you can only perform as these characters for an amount of time...due to the youth of the Original princesses in the stories...but how long can you be a princess...like say Ariel in fantasmic, or in a parade, or even at Ariel's Grotto. Thanks.What is the average life span of a WDW princess?The hardest part is getting these parts. You have to have a heart shape face to be a princess, not to mention there are height requirements for all the characters. Disney is EXTREMELY picky about the people who play the facial characters. I'm not sure of the exact average life span, but I would think that princesses would be someone in their 20's - 30's, or that has a young-ish looking face. Some characters have restrictions such as no tans, weight requirements, etc...
The cast members who are characters go though classes and learn signatures, make up, hair, voice %26amp; talking, waving and other behaviors.What is the average life span of a WDW princess?Make up goes a long ways, Disney is VERY VERY particular, about the people they choose to be "Characters" There are some who fit the role with hardly any effort and others who can con there way into it. Either way.....I would say as long as they let you.
However we all know there is only ONE of each Disney Princess.What is the average life span of a WDW princess?Funny question. I don't know the answer though. But I heard that the lady that plays Snow White by contract is now allowed to get tan. Makes sense for Snow White, but sure seems hard in the Fla sun!

Whats the best recipe for a mint julip?
My wife is a southern Belle who talks alot about Mint Julips but has no idea about how to make them. any takers?Whats the best recipe for a mint julip?Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
2 cups water, heated
2 cups sugar

I like a drop of simple syrup (sugar %26amp; water boiled) bruised mint sprigs, crushed ice, my favorite bourbon-Basl Hayden's, or Ancient Age ten year old-- decorate the top with a mint sprig or two. If in a glass-frost it. Wet it, roll it in ice until it mists up- or best, a pewter Julep cup. Add a very short straw so she must dip her face in the mint. Voila!!!! Heaven!!!!
Then tune in the track report, or take in a race in person.Whats the best recipe for a mint julip?Fresh mint.
Simple syrup. If you have a proper muddler you don't need granulated sugar.. the syrup will dissolve in the cold liquid better.
Bourbon NOT WHISKEY.
Club Soda.
Muddler... The thing you use to crush the mint and lime. In a pinch to can use the handle end of a wooden spoon, but it will take longer.
Crush about 10 mint leaves a in the bottom of your glass. You want pulverize the mint rather than just bruise it. Get a nice paste like thing going on.
Add a small amount (1 TBSP) of simple syrup to the glass to break up the leaves and get them unstuck from the bottle of the glass.
Add 1.5oz of Bourbon... or to taste.
Add your Ice.
Fill to rim with club soda and garnish with a few more mint leaves and a lime wedge.
The use of simple syrup instead of pure sugar allows for the sugar to dissolve into the beverage faster.
EDIT:
Or you can watch Alton Brown from good eats make on here on Youtube... Unfortunately it is the last segment so you need to sit through about 9 of other stuff.Whats the best recipe for a mint julip?

Excerpted from a long out of print book on the subject ( No Longer Copyrighted) :
The classic receipt for the Kentucky mint julep was published over half a century ago in Kentucky Whiskies. It was written by Soule Smith, lawyer, journalist, and superb raconteur of considerable local fame. In this famous receipt, the making of a mint julep becomes a ceremony. In loving and mellifluent language, the subtle blending of cold spring water with fragrant mint and good Bourbon whiskey and cracked ice somehow evokes the whole charm of the Blue Grass countryside. Here, then, is the famous receipt printed once again in a small illustrated edition for the delight of good Kentuckians everywhere.
THE MINT JULEP
But in the Blue Grass land there is a softer sentiment---a gentler soul. There is where the wind makes waves of the wheat and scents itself with the aroma of new-mown hay, there is no contest with the world outside. On summer days when, from his throne, the great sun dictates his commands, one may look forth across broad acres where the long grass falls and rises as the winds may blow it. He can see the billowy slopes far off, each heaving as the zephyrs touch it with a caressing hand. Sigh of the earth with never a sob, the wind comes to the Blue Grass. A sweet sigh, a loving one; a tender sigh, a lover鈥檚 touch, she gives the favored land. And the moon smiles at her caressing and the sun gives benediction to the lovers. Nature and earth are one---married by the wind and sun whispering leaflets on the happy tree.
Then comes the zenith of man鈥檚 pleasure. Then comes the julep---the mint julep. Who has not tasted one has lived in vain. The honey of Hymettus brought no such solace to the soul; the nectar of the Gods is tame beside it. It is the very dream of drinks, the vision of sweet quaffings. The Bourbon and the mint are lovers. In the same land they live, on the same food they are fostered. The mint dips its infant leaf into the same stream that makes the bourbon what it is. The corn grows in the level lands through which small streams meander. By the brook-side the mint grows. As the little wavelets pass, they glide up to kiss the feet of the growing mint, the mint bends to salute them. Gracious and kind it is, living only for the sake of others. The crushing of it only makes its sweetness more apparent. Like a woman鈥檚 heart, it gives its sweetest aroma when bruised. Among the first to greet the spring, it comes. Beside the gurgling brooks that make music in the pastures it lives and thrives.
When the Blue Grass begins to shoot its gentle sprays toward the sun, mint comes, and its sweetest soul drinks at the crystal brook. It is virgin then. But soon it must be married to Old Bourbon. His great heart, his warmth of temperament, and that affinity which no one understands, demand the wedding. How shall it be? Take from the cold spring some water, pure as angels are; mix it with sugar until it seems like oil. Then take a glass and crush you mint within it with a spoon---crush it around the borders of the glass and leave no place untouched. Then throw the mint away---it is a sacrifice.
Fill with cracked ice the glass; pour in the quantity of Bourbon which you want. It trickles slowly through the ice. Let it have time to col, then pour your sugared water over it. No spoon is needed, no stirring is allowed---just let it stand a moment. Then around the brim place sprigs of mint, so that the one who drinks may find a taste and odor at one draught.
When it is made, sip it slowly. August suns are shining, the breath of the south wind is upon you. It is fragrant, cold and sweet---it is seductive. No maiden鈥檚 touch could be more passionate. Sip it and dream, it is a dream itself. No other land can give so sweet a solace for your cares; no other liquor soothes you so in melancholy days. Sip it and say there is no solace for the soul, no tonic for the body like Old Bourbon whiskey.

How can I hint at this character for an audition?
I'm trying out for Belle in the school play, Beauty and the Beast.
My theatre teacher, when asked, said the best thing to wear to a performance is something that HINTS- but isn't a costume- at your character. I'll probably do my hair like hers, though im blonde:P But everyoneeee is gonna do their hair like hers, I just know it. I'm a very creative person, but I just want some opinions and an answer that thinks outside the box (: THXHow can I hint at this character for an audition?What does Belle DO?- This should inspire you to think about who she really is and what qualities she possesses. How does stand? Is she boastful?(No, but Gaston is) How does she speak? Is she loud and overbearing or is she more quiet and reserved. How does she walk? Is she graceful? These types of things will indicate which character you truly want to be. When I acted in highschool, my director always knew who I wanted to be. Not because of what I was wearing, but because of my confidence in my character.
Best of Luck! Go get em! :)
P.s- The best thing that you can wear is a Smile! Belle always smiles!How can I hint at this character for an audition?You don't have to wear a costume to have your outfit hint at it. Where nice pants, like corduroys or nice, neat jeans. Where a conservative, pretty blouse, blue or yellow if you have it. Just make sure you look and act very sweet and inspired. And yes, do you hair in braides or some other belle-like style you have planned. Good luck!nada boats college books boston market menu mediterranean recipes
