Cotillion Members Nominated For The 2010 Grande Conservative Blogress Diva Award

noreply@blogger.com (Nice Deb) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:54:00 +0000

It has come to my attention that Gay Patriot is taking nominations for his annual "Grand Conservative Blogress Diva" award, and it appears that several of the Cotillion ladies are in the running for the crown: This year, our readers have already submitted the names of blogress divas new to the contest, including, we believe, only the second lesbian ever nominated, Cynthia Yockey, aka a...

The Great Christmas Question

noreply@blogger.com (Darleen) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 15:45:00 +0000

It's the first weekend of December and boxes of decorations, tangled lights and extension cords are being pulled out among the scattered shrieks as spiders and earwigs scurry away. And the debate will begin anew each season as neighbors risk limb and dignity climbing ladders or wrapping bushes and trees with lights ... White or Color? Die, sploggers! +520c73o168t13l722n+

Happy Thanksgiving!

noreply@blogger.com (Nice Deb) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:28:00 +0000

Here’s what I’ve created for Thanksgiving (which will be at my sister’s) so far. Sadly, my pumpkin muffins all got eaten. My son, just home from college for the holiday had some friends over last night…I should have hid them like I hid the chex mix. I’ll also be making cole slaw, the veggie tray, and meh-be truffles, if I get ambitious later tonight. Actually, the turkeys are something my...

Carnival of the Turkeys

cassandra.vc@gmail.com (Cassandra) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:22:00 +0000

Well, I have written and abandoned two posts now. Despite a surfeit of celtic blood, I hate being maudlin. So I will leave you with a recipe - one I'm not making this year, but which is probably the only constant (other than turkey and stuffing) at Thanksgiving dinners at Villa Cassandranita for over 25 years now. Squash Casserole. Even folks who hate squash like this recipe. I like a mix of...

noreply@blogger.com (Darleen) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:45:00 +0000

Let me be the first of the Girls with Pearls set to kick off our Thanksgiving 2009 postings. My family gathers for festivities at my parents' home. I was there yesterday helping mom move furniture and set up tables since my dad is still on the mend from his quad-bypass at the end of August. Dessert is what I usually contribute - pumpkin pie plus any new or specially requested thing. This...

We're baaack

GretaPerry@gmail.com (Greta Perry) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:53:00 +0000

For whatever reason, the ladies of the Cotillion took a break from group blogging. We still maintained our strong ties of friendship and daily chatter. Our blogroll is still made up of the brightest conservative female bloggers on the internet today. We were once high visibility and people were dying to be invited in to the group (invitation only). Now that we are re-grouping, watch out internet,...

The Princess of Positive Helps a Veteran

noreply@blogger.com (Conservative Belle) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:46:00 +0000

I am always so proud of the thankless work that the ladies in our Cotillion do for their community, family, friends, churches, wrongfully imprisoned journalists in foreign nations, and our military. And I am honored to belong to such a group. While I don't write here often enough telling you about all the charitable things they do, I do think it is nice to share a story now and then that might...

Debate Questions from the Cotillion

noreply@blogger.com (Conservative Belle) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 18:53:00 +0000

I asked members of the Cotillion earlier this week, what questions they would like to ask Senators John McCain and Barack Obama about national security/foreign policy issues for tonight's debate in Oxford, MS. Here are a few of their responses: SeeJaneMom: Senator Obama, given the *emperical fact* that we have been pumping domestic oil at a decreasing rate since 1972, (some call this peak oil),...

So You Want to Be in the Cotillion?

noreply@blogger.com (Conservative Belle) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:07:00 +0000

Recently we have received a few requests from ladies wishing to join the Cotillion. First of all, thank you for asking. It is exciting to see people taking notice of our small group and wanting to be a part. Secondly, we have sort of an unspoken practice about membership requests. We like an opportunity to get to know you over a period of time to see if your blogging style is a good fit and if...

The Tiara Media is Tweeting!

noreply@blogger.com (Conservative Belle) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 10:32:00 +0000

With social networking taking off at such a rapid pace, should it be any surprise at all that the ladies of the Cotillion are along for the ride? Twitter is such a popular medium now, even members of Congress are using it. That being said we wanted to let you know how you can follow the tweets of members of the "Tiara Media" via Twitter. The Birthplace of the Process of Illogical Logic...

Cotillion McCain Wishlist

GretaPerry@gmail.com (Greta Perry) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 12:04:00 +0000

The Cotillion ladies put together a little wishlist for John McCain's campaign. We hope they notice it, because we are some pretty smart women! We all vote and will all vote for McCain because...well...the other choice is unthinkable to us. Jane wants him to utter the word Yemen in any sentence, preferably this one: *The jailing of Yemeni journalist Abdulkarim Al-Khaiwani demonstrates...

The lovely Beth, of Yeah, Right, Whatever, came into Lynchburg today and I had the opportunity to drive on up hang out and have dinner with her. She graciously brought me my own tiara (all the ladies of the Cotillion simply must have their own tiaras!), since all the fabric fondling of the past couple of weeks have addled my brains so much that I'd forgotten to acquire one! She presented it...
