It Just Never Gets Old


You may remember this scene: moments after Suzanne Sugarbaker's name has been trashed by a couple of caddy women in the dressing room, her sister comes to her defense. Taken out of context, Julia (Sugarbaker played by Dixie Carter) seems a little harsh, but it's so on point in the moment. (Particularly because Julia seldom loses her cool). I channel this scene, and let's face it, all scenes involving Shirley MaClaine in any of her films, when I have a particularly tough oral argument on the horizon or when I'm feeling vulnerable and life requires some zealous advocacy. These girls wear their pearls while they kick down the doors.
