JoAnne Kenrick's Blog: party til your heels fly off

Welcome to my addition to the party author blog hop -- Here, at my blog, I'm celebrating 75 years of Gone With The Wind... so get your ball gowns on, and swirl into the world of Scarlett O' Hara and Rhett Butler. I won't ramble on about how much I adore this movie. Nope! Instead, I'll offer up some entertainment with some youtube videos and my favorite scene... ENJOY!

"Great balls of fire. Don't bother me anymore, and don't call me sugar. " -- Scarlett O'Hara

"I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow." -- Scarlett O'Hara

You need to be kissed

RHETT: You will, though. And another thing. Those pantalets. I don't know a woman in Paris wears pantalets anymore.

SCARLETT: What do they... you shouldn't talk about such things.

RHETT: You little hypocrite, you don't mind my knowing about them, just my talking about them.

SCARLETT: Rhett, I really can't go on accepting these gifts. Though you

are awfully kind.

RHETT: I'm not kind, I'm just tempting you. I never give anything without expecting something in return. I always get paid.

SCARLETT: If you think I'll marry you just to pay for the bonnet, I won't.

RHETT: Don't flatter yourself, I'm not a marrying man.

SCARLETT: Well, I won't kiss you for it, either.
