mississippians in new york city...who evah let them in?


it was a bitch keeping this dress clean on the subway.


went to the 27th Annual New York Mississippi Picnic in Central Park this afternoon.

i'm too sweaty, sticky, and disgusting to write much.

few key points:

hot

cold fried catfish, hush puppies, fries, cole slaw, fresh watermelon

sponsored by
The New York Society for the Preservation of Mississippi Heritage (wha?)

live blues band

cool, green grass and clover blossoms between my toes

southern-drawled ladies

wide-brimmed hats

hot rollered hair - seriously

watermelon spitting contest

men named "preston" + "tyler"

women named "mary-chappell" + "mary-donahue"

cartwheels

sunshowers

not a confederate flag in sight

y'all come back now...ya hyah?

cold fried catfish, hush puppies, fries, cole slaw, fresh watermelon now resting like a lump in gut.

how shall i ever fit into my hoop skirt?
