AndySmith June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 D is for Blanche's Dream...the one where she is running naked through a train, going through tunnel after tunnel, while a sweaty bodybuilder chases her. It possibly could be sexual, as Blanche usually smokes a cigarette after she has that dream. Link to comment
legaleagle53 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 C is for Chattanooga where Blanche may or may not have been allowed to ever visit again even though the sheriff still writes. The way she says it, though, it's obvious that what the sheriff still writes is "Hey, Blanche, when are you coming back to Chattanooga?" 1 Link to comment

Miss Chevious June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 H is for the great Herring war between the Lindstroms and the Johansens. Rose's retelling of this story sent Dorothy & Blanche into gales of laughter. Link to comment
SophiaPehawkins June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 I is for Ingmar von Bergman, St. Olaf's meanest ventriloquist. He caused Sven to come back and haunt Gunilla every Tuesday night at ten, nine central. Link to comment
LilWharveyGal June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 J is for the junior prom, which Rose couldn't go to because it was only for people named Junior. Link to comment
SophiaPehawkins June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 K is for the knives, more specifically Ginsu that the tiny herring juggled at St. Olaf's annual talent show. One wrong move and they could've filleted themselves. Link to comment
Cherpumple June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 L is for cousin Lars who did excellent bird imitations. Just please don't park under his tree! Link to comment

LilWharveyGal June 30, 2015 Share June 30, 2015 R is for the Riverboat Captain who helped Blanche fake her death and got a horsewhipping from Big Daddy in return. Link to comment
AndySmith July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 (edited) S is for Blanche's Senior Prom. The one where she caused quite the scandal by following her heart and ignoring the attitudes of the town bigots and unjust society by attending it with...a man from New Jersey. She attended her Senior Prom with a Yankee! Edited July 1, 2015 by AndySmith Link to comment
Miss Chevious July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 T is for Dominic Tansy, the fastest man in town. He got four women pregnant in one night. Link to comment

SophiaPehawkins July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 (edited) Y is for the yarn that Sophia used to knit a bottle cover for the sherry. She's a part of the Cloud Society and if you drink out of a paper bag in the park, suddenly everybody's your friend. Edited July 6, 2015 by SophiaPehawkins Link to comment
Maherjunkie July 15, 2015 Share July 15, 2015 Z is for Zucchini, which Sophia didn't do alterations for just to go to Mulberry street and squeeze one. How about the girls in different eras of time? Pioneers, Great Depression, roaring 20's. Link to comment
camom July 15, 2015 Share July 15, 2015 OK, I'll give it a go. A is for Art Deco, which reached its peak in the Roaring 20s. Blanche would not have understood it, but she would have pretended to. B is for the Bread that Sophia would have stood in line for during the Great Depression. C is for the Covered wagon that Rose would have traveled to St. Olaf in. Link to comment
Kiddvideo July 16, 2015 Share July 16, 2015 D is for the Depression and the $$ Sophia would have earned by taxi dancing while Sal was stationed in the attic. Link to comment

camom July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 G is for the Gold Rush. Dorothy would have owned the saloon, where Blanche would have been a barmaid. Rose and Sophia could have sold bacon, lettuce and potato sandwiches to the prospectors. Link to comment
Maherjunkie July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 H is for hippies, which Dorothy and Blanche's children would have probably been. Link to comment
