Southern and Otherwise.

I don’t know if you can really call Jeanne Robertson’s style something suitable for Saturday Silliness, being as it’s not really that silly.  Hilarious, but not silly.  However, there’s a lot of fun to be had, so we’re going to go ahead with it for today’s post.

Just a little background:  Ms. Robertson is a former Miss North Carolina.  And she’s 6′ 2″.

It’s not entirely clear whether it’s her height or her obvious intelligence that shatters all my stereotypical notions about beauty queens, but she is not what I expect when I think of pageant participants.

She’s made a living for quite some time as an event speaker.  Meetings, conventions, clubs, I guess.  I suspect she made quite a decent living because she is very good at what she does.  In recent years, however, I think she has found herself more in demand than ever, thanks to YouTube.

Since I am always thrilled to see smart women succeeding beyond their ingenue years, I totally love Jeanne Robertson’s story.

And since I can relate to many of the incidents she relates in her appearances, I totally love Jeanne Robertson’s stories.

All of them.

If I absolutely had to pick a favorite, I couldn’t do it.  I’d be torn between “Never send a man to the grocery store” and “Men don’t know the style in New York City.”  So, I’ve linked to both of them here.  You can see for yourself.

And then you can go on over to YouTube and listen to whatever else you can find because she has no bad material.  It’s all good!
