Shots of the Lowcountry: Drayton Hall Plantation
I was just exploring through my albums in iPhoto, and I happened to come across an older album of my pictures of one of America’s most beautiful homes: the manor at Drayton Hall Plantation. Built between 1738 and 1742, Drayton Hall is North America’s best example of Palladian architecture. Even in a city as old as Charleston, Drayton Hall is unique in the fact that it is not restored,...

The SEC: The Absolute Best
So, as you may know, I am both a student of and a huge fan of the REAL USC (Go Cocks!) and with this comes a love for the SEC. Unless you are a part of it, you will never understand it.

Fashion Spotlight: The Value of Thrift
Just in case you have not figured it out, Yours Truly is a big fan of clothing; I love clothes in almost (stress almost) an unhealthy way, and not just any clothes: nice clothes. If the clothing line has an animal as a logo, I will most likely be a fan. The Golden Fleece, Pony, Alligator, Whale, Black Lab-I think you see what I mean. I am a self-admitted clothes horse, and I am proud of it! I find...

Vote for Charleston in "The South's Tastiest Town"
I usually plan to use this page strictly for the manual, but I came across something that is shocking and must be shared. In a poll hosted by Southern Living for “The South’s Tastiest Town,” Charleston is ranked fourth. Fourth?! Something is wrong with this. Please, please, please be sure to vote for Charleston in this poll. With what is going on in our culinary scene, we should...
