Nashville, Here We Come!!!

I'm pretty excited because my family and I are off to Tennessee and Kentucky today to visit friends who just moved to the area. We haven't been there before, so we're not sure what to expect. 

I am a very cosmopolitan woman, so I know what the people will be like. Everyone knows that people in the south talk funny, not because they have an accent, but because they don't have all of their teeth. I've watched, "Cops","Jerry Springer", and "Deliverance". I know what I'm talking about. 

We have gotten all the necessary shots and visas. I've purchase a south to normal dictionary. I am really looking at this as a sort of anthropological excursion. I'm not sure weather I should bring my own jug to drink my moonshine from or to get an authentic one there. I also want to blend in somewhat, so we all have overalls to wear. I also got a barrel with straps to wear for a more formal occasion. I'm so glad I think of these things beforehand!

I will report back and let you know how it is. I might even have some pictures! 


ON A SLIGHTLY LESS IGNORANT NOTE-I am a "fan" of the controversial photographer, Shelby Lee Adams. He is from the Appalachian mountains and he follows a few familys who live in the very  isolated areas year after year. Some people feel he is exploiting these people. However you feel about it, his images are absolutely fascinating. I can't believe people still live the way they do. If you ever get the chance to see the documentary on Adams, it's definitely worth the time to watch. 

He follows one family called the Napiers. Here is a picture of them in their living room. They use newspapers for their walls. Each of his pictures have so many fascinating details. These are people who like the way they live and wouldn't live in the, "mainstream" world if they could.

Forget the overalls if you want to blend in just tell people your husband is your cousin! Also I vote for your pimp cup instead of the authentic moonshine jug. Introduce some style and culture.

Baaah!! Friggin hilarious. When the locals get dress up to go the legion in 'my' town (it's not really my town, I'm just stuck here) they where their plaid/flannel shirts, more commonly called "The Forest Dinner Jacket" Klassy, with a capital K baby.

well, I guess when they come visit you they are gonna have to dress to your standards. They'll come decked out in tight jeans, flowy tops,espadrilles and wavy hair with highlights, haha. Look forward to pics of you in overalls, haha.

Remind me to never visit the appalachians.

Those people, and yes I know this will come off as ignorant, look like they would eat people.

I can't possibly imagine how racist they are.

While all my knowledge of Southern living comes from reruns of the Beverly Hillbillies on TV Land, along with Paula Dean on Food Network, I still consider myself to be somewhat of an expert.
Some tips: Don't eat anything called "innards" or "oysters."

Have fun.

Bring your own jug. Unless you're family, we don't like to pass ours around...it's not about the germs: sometimes they just don't come back 'round in a timely fashion.

Three words for ya... PPE: Personal Protective Equipment - ha! CM of 3 is right... Take the pimp cup. Throw 'em for a loop...

I live south of the Mason-Dixon line and I have all my teeth. But, they're all fake. Implants actually, I'm high klass. (

That's gross, huh... No, these are really my teeth...)

No, but my granddaddy's teeth were fake. He would take them out and make wierd faces. And, he called me "Elvira"...
