Steel Magnolias

The big day started out as a Steel Magnolias kind of day complete with a morning at the beauty shop. Cast of characters for the day: Shelby (Brittney); M'Lynn (Sharon--not usually, but for the day); Clairee (Sandra); Ouiser (Libba--'cause I get to choose); Annelle (Emily); Truvy (Natalie); and a cast of special extras.

Truvy: What are your colors, Shelby?
Shelby: My colors are "blush" and "bashful."
M'Lynn: Her colors are "pink" and pink."
Shelby: My colors are "blush" and "bashful" Mama!
M'Lynn: How pretentious is this weddin' gonna get, I ask you?



Annelle: Miss Truvy, I promise that my personal tragedy will not interfere with my ability to do good hair.

Truvy: I don't like her. I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.


Shelby: Truvy, you know what you need in here? You need a radio, takes the pressure off of everyone feeling they have to talk so much.
Truvy: I had one once, but I threw it up against the wall when I couldn't figure out where the batteries went. I know now I was suffering from pre-menstrual syndrome.



Shelby: [to Annelle] Relax! You can't screw up her hair. Just tease it and make it look like a brown football helmet.



M'Lynn: Oh my God Shelby was right, [her] hair *does* look like a brown football helmet!



Truvy: Smile! It increases your face value.

Clairee Belcher: Well, you know what they say: if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!
