I know...Tickled Pink and Green already hosted this giveaway! Well, I didn't win, so I got the book from the author anyway:) Then I realized that 60 people had entered Tickled Pink's giveaway, so there are maybe about 58 of y'all still wanting this book!
Beth Dunn wrote Social Climbers and I have to say that I loved reading this book. I certainly can't give away my copy, 'cuz it's got all my little notes and my underlined reminders of stuff I want and things I better start doing! This is such a cute book about how to climb the Main Line. Beth Dunn takes you inside the world of Main Line society...how the ladies dress, where they shop, their fave cocktails, beauty treatments/supplies, even how they socialize. Although Miss Janice will never be an "It Girl," it's fun to read about their lifestyles, don't y'all think? Now, after reading the book, I realized that I do have some "social climbing tendancies,"...
~I love "W"
~I only use clear lights at Christmas
~My BMW is on the "acceptable vehicle list"
~I tend to think that the world revolves around me...at least I'm being honest!
~I monogram everything
~I name my homes
~I always Rsvp
~I'd love to meet Lee Radziwill
~I always was a "DLG"-Daddy's Little Girl
~I shop at Pierre Deux
~I buy all the "it" magazines
However, I'm apparently out of the loop on a lot of social climbing must do's and never do's:
~Social Climbers only drink Chardonnay and would never drink red wine in public...Oh dear, I'm in bad trouble with this one!
~I'm totally embarrassed to say that I've never heard of Essie nail polish...But, I catch on real quick and it's on my list! After reading the book, I now know the proper nail fashion etiquette!
~I'm still calling "Neiman Marcus," "Neiman Marcus"...who knew?
~I have definitely violated the sunglasses etiquette rule!
~I wear jeans...oh no, I am a loser!
~Finally, I never knew how "out of the fashion loop" I was...I have never heard of Miss Trish of Capri sandals...I know about them now and I want some!

I'm off to enjoy Beth's "signature drink"...The Pink Lilly. Here's the recipe y'all:
1 - 1/2 cups white rum
2 cups pineapple juice
2 cups grapefruit juice
1 cup chilled club soda
A splash of grenadine to make it pink
A mint sprig
Pour in a wine goblet and rim with pink sugar...yes ma'am, I feel very "chic" drinking this Pink Lilly! {Beth, I even used your wine goblet of choice, by Reidel}.
Note to Beth: Your humor is soooo infectious...I'm now referring to my husband as simply "husband." It's just perfect for me and husband! Yes, I love it!
Thank y'all for dropping by and good luck!
