A Belle with Balls is a woman who boldly expresses herself in the world, full out and on her terms! She’s not afraid to go for what she wants and risk having it all.

She is big, bold, independent, powerful, charming, gutsy, persistent, courageous, unique, generous, honest outrageous, innovative, invincible, tenacious, and creative. Did I mention that she’s ballsy?

As a role model for all women, she commits to squeeze as much juice and joy from this journey as she can - doing it with passion, purpose and a large sense of play!!

Check out a few of these oh so fabulous women at my “Tuck Talk” podcast.

My new “bellefriends” are passionate about sharing their boldest voice of self-expression with the world. And, they’re excited and talking about their newest designation. Be sure to let them know just how ballsy and fabulous you think they are too……

Do you have a best ballsy bellefriend I ought to feature? Brag about her here. I can’t wait to hear from ya!

I received this question from Jonathan, a MySpace guy friend from the great state of Texas? Here was my answer……

A SOUTHERN BELLE (derived from the French belle, ‘beautiful’) is an archtype for a young woman of the American Old South’s antebellum class. She epitomizes southern hospitality, cultivation of beauty and a flirtatious yet chaste demeanor.

As “BELLE OF THE BALL” she is the most beautiful, charming, and engaging woman among a group.

To detractors, THE SOUTHERN BELLE STEREOTYPE is a symbol of a repressed, “corseted” young women, nostalgic for a bygone era.

Which is true? Great question..yes?!?

In my Rebel Belle Yell! newsletter, I feature a “Belle with Balls”; a woman who boldly expresses herself in the world, full out and on her terms! In the premier issue, I nominated the classic southern heroine and ultimate Rebel Belle, Katie Scarlette O’Hara from Gone with the Wind.

Do you know a Belle with Balls you’d like to brag about? Perhaps you’d like to “toot your own horn!” I can’t wait to hear from ya!

Got news to share….

A couple from South Carolina and a couple from the Northeast were seated side by side on an airplane.
 
The girl from South Carolina, being friendly and all, said, “So, where y’all from?”
 
The Northeast girl said, “From a place where they know better than to use a preposition at the end of a sentence.”

The girl from South Carolina sat quietly for a few moments and then replied:

So, where y’all from, bitch?”

I love this! Are you Yankee or Dixie? Take the quiz and see.

My Yankee bellefriend Dena Marino from Staten Island, NY, sent me this quiz. You remember Dena don’t ya? She’s was the woman I blogged about that loves to toot, toot, toot her northern horn full out and on her terms!

Dena is 48% Yankee, that’s according to the quiz, not Dena. Dena would tell you she is 100% Yankee. My score was 61% Dixie, a definitive Southern score according to the computation. I think 61% reflects a little southern rebellion don’t you?

Give it a try….it’s fun! Are you Dixie or Yankee?

100% is pure Dixie and 0% is pure Yankee. 

Access the quiz here. Be sure to let me know your score!
