Northern vs. Southern Women

   My friend Anita lived and now lives in Michigan, but for many years
   she lived in Atlanta. Here's her reaction to [1]my earlier posting
   about southern vs. northern women:

     I can tell you first hand what the difference is in Northern and
     Southern gals. After moving south, I had to learn how to dress.
     Living in Atlanta for several years and coming back north once a
     year, my husband and I could plainly see the difference. On one
     such visit, we landed in Grand Rapids (Michigan) and stayed the
     night at a hotel. In the morning I looked at the people there
     having brunch and said, " Look at these women! They are colorless
     !!" The women were all dressed in mainly solid browns, blues and
     grays. There was nothing outstanding about the design of their
     clothing. They only wore a trace of make up and nothing flashy in
     the way of earrings and jewelry. And plain shoes. It was summer !!!
     Were these woman not pretty? I think they were not using what they
     had.
     Southern gals just know that if one is good, two is better and
     three is better yet. They go for the total package look from a very
     young age and time and effort is put into looking nice. Little
     girls have ribbons and accessories for their hair and there it
     starts.
     The difference in using make up is night and day. The vast majority
     of Southern gals wouldn't go anywhere without make up. If the
     Northern gals put on a light coat of mascara they are doing good.
     With Southern gals, if the jewery isn't big enough to be seen at an
     arms length, it isn't worth having including earrings and a diamond
     engagement ring.
     Just sitting in the parking lot of a Michigan Wal-Mart vs the
     parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Fayetteville, Georgia tells it all.
     Michigan gives gals in jeans, printed tee-shirts, dirty white
     running shoes, little or no make up or jewery. In Fayetteville, the
     girl can be wearing jeans and a tee-shirt, but the tee is tucked
     in, she has a cute belt, her shoes are dressier, her hair is done,
     she has make -up on and a showy pair of earrings. Is one girl
     better looking than the other?? All things being equal, the
     Southern gal is more pleasing to look at.
     The shoes that are offered in the South are so much nicer than the
     ones in the North. While living in Atlanta, I bought some really
     stylish shoes ...... soft green suede, suede and snake skin heals
     in eggplant color, multi color leathers of teal, tan and coral with
     satin ribbon ties. I haven't seen such offered in this area. They
     most likely wouldn't sell.
     To conclude. Southern gals have a more polished look.
