The Southern Bell is noted for her charm and social graces, but don't be fooled...Many of these same genteel ladies were total Hellions
in their day, both out of necessity and a natural predisposition for firey temperments. Leave the swooning, helplessness, fainting spells and crocodile tears to the bells of the ball - Hell's Belles are forged in the infernos of the south and made of stronger stuff than the "steele magnolias" who wilt in their presence! Beware The Belles!

Hell's Belles!
Posted at 15:15 EST
Just what is a Hell's Belle?
We've all heard the tale of Gone With The Wind and of the infamous Scarlett O'Hara. Many see her as the epitomy of the perfect Southern Lady and the belle of the balls in Tara and Atlanta.
But Scarlett was, in truth, one of the first and most impressive Belle's from Hell...and she still sets the bar nearly a century later.
This Hell's Belle's Scroll is a gift presented only by recommendation.
So, if you know a Southern Belle who outblooms and outwits those "magnolias" we hear so much about, (or an "honorary" belle who has all the southern charms but somehow got trapped in New Jersey,) leave a message at my homesite about "who and why" and when they receive their scroll they will be able to read your glowing endorsement as well.....can't y'all feel the love?
