The beach hadn't
even woken up good when she whoooosed into town - Tootie
Green, that is. She, in that big ole pink caddie,
cruised down Perdido Beach Boulevard as the sun was coming up.
Well, of course,
everyone has heard about her - she's quite notorious - but
nobody knows much about her. Some say she was a Dallas
debutante, others say she was a Vegas showgirl. Mary Lou
says the truth is she's a lady lawyer with a degree from an
upright Southern college, but others shake their heads
declaring that she is just a small-town Southern girl though
nobody seems to know just what town that would be. But
they all talk about her and wonder. |
|
Anyway, that ole pink
caddie came to a screeching halt, and the lady peeked
out over her cat-eye, jeweled sunglasses at the Gulf
of Mexico and declared, "Dahling, this is
heaven." And folks, the lady who had been
sighted in Paris, London, Rome and Hattiesburg,
Mississippi was home. She whipped out the
sunscreen, and that was that! |
|
|
For
days, that pink caddie could be seen cruising up and
down the beach as Tootie checked out her new
surroundings. Oh, darlings, it was all just
great fun, but something was missing. My, my
what could that be? Well, this lady just loves -
well, make that LIVES - to shop. And while there
were many shops around, none were quite to Tootie's taste - wild, funny, whimsical and
classy. That was it! So simple
really! She would open her own shop! That pink caddie really got in gear and
didn't stop till she spotted an adorable little green
bungalow! Toooo perfect!!

Before another olive could land
in a martini, a sign with Tootie herself on it was hoisted up,
and the island trembled with excitement.
Oh, such a divine place it
is. You have never seen anything like it. It is a
virtual playground for us girls. Tootie Green's is just
filled with the most fabulous stuff from everywhere - goodies
to eat, goodies to wear, goodies to give and good ole "gotta
have" goodies. Tootie always
says, "Dahling, get a little something for yourself."
And - what a hoot - most of the staff are blondes - one's even a natural, I swear!
Tootie Green's is DEVOTED to fulfilling your heart's desire
and some things you didn't even know your heart desired.
And if on the weekends you are a tad bit thirsty, those
blondes will serve you a mimosa (note to the innocent: that's
champagne with orange juice - yep, mixed). Tootie says
it's nothing less than a public service because everyone needs
a little Vitamin C, don't you know!
 |
Now, if you're wondering what
she is like, well I'll tell you. Tootie Green is a
little like all of us girls. It's obvious when you look
in her shop. There is something for everyone. Yes
there is a little bit of Tootie in all of us. You'd know Tootie if
you saw her though with those red curls and emerald eyes that don't miss a thing. Tootie's red, bow shaped lips form a mischievous grin
that promises she has something up her sleeve.
And mind you, that figure of hers! - well, dahling,
that figure has been known to destroy a good
man's mind, not to mention the men already
inclined in that direction |
|
|
Well, dahling, that's
the tale of Tootie Green's Yellow Broom. I
really hate to leave you, but word has it Tootie just
got a new shipment in so I gotta run! Maybe I'll
see you there.
