Dirty fingernails definitely do not go with the look. Has a line of bull like some people I know. And after buying a masterpiece, too cheap to buy a book. Give me a break!<br /><br />I'm so happy to be here and thank you for visiting my blog so I could find you! This is a great post and I see lots of good things to read so I'll be browsing for a while.

We know about 'Southern Gentility.' We know about 'Southern Fraud,' too. My point with that post was that this man had all the outward signs of gentility, yet something as small as unkempt nails gave him away.<br /><br />It would be like Rosiland Carter having a tattoo. It just doesn't mesh.<br /><br />Maybe one needs to live here to understand. But what do I know?Beejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613166306376742575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164482611955782819.post-28881191392774046492010-08-21T04:39:31.343-05:002010-08-21T04:39:31.343-05:00Honestly, here's what I think: he's as muc...Honestly, here's what I think: he's as much of a forgery as his supposed Rubens. Why do I think this? Because I've never known a man of means to have ever gotten his hands dirty except proverbially- and because only con artists make such an effort to look so debonair in small towns like this one. They want to look a certain stereotype so that they are afforded an automatic prestige...don't be fooled. Half the people in the South are full of shit with their "manners" and "airs"- it's just an archaic system of judgement, insults, lies, and fair-weather friends. <br />Just think of how the "good gentry" of Atlanta treated Scarlett because she didn't follow their rules.
