Miss Manners hits a home run...

Here She Comes, Miss America
Wednesday, October 4, 2006; Page C10

Dear Miss Manners:

We are taking a vacation to England this fall, and I have a tiara I wore with my prom dress. What places can I wear it out in England? I know they use them a lot there.

No, not a lot. Not nearly as often as Miss America wears hers, for example.

Elderly British duchesses have been known to get fed up waiting for an opportunity to wear theirs, despairing that when their saucy daughters-in-law inherit them, they will pluck out the gemstones to use for heaven knows what. Probably bellybutton decorations.

2. Well, I want a tiara, and if I had one I would wear it every day.

To work. That wouldn't look *too* weird, would it?

:D

4. I respect and admire Miss Manners

I cannot wait for my hair to turn white, so that I get the same kind of respect she does.

5. I love Miss Manners

She cracks me up, managing to be snide and sarcastic in the politest way. :rofl:
