dabbe OUISER!!! 🧡💜💛 2mo

ImperfectCJ This has been a favorite of mine for ages! I put it on when I need to cry. It's funny how the actors seem younger and younger every time I watch it (as I age into their characters' ages). 2mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🐝👍🏼📺🐝💝. 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @ImperfectCJ yes!! I watch it several times a year, it‘s always good when you need a good laugh/cry! ♥️ 2mo

ImperfectCJ @JenlovesJT47 Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion. ❤️ 2mo

Steel Magnolias | Robert Harling

High tension moment,
the pain palpable — in the
end, laughter triumphs.

You had your chance, M‘Lynn,
to be the first to say I
slapped Ouiser Boudreaux! 👋🏻

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe @FashionableObserver I‘m not crazy, M‘Lynn! I‘ve just been in a very bad mood for 40 years! 😅😅😅 4mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 The lines in this movie: #solidgold! 💛💛💛 4mo

FashionableObserver One of my favorite lines—which I alter and use all of the time: “…she worships the quicksand I walk on.” It‘s all just too good! One of my favorite movies/plays. My family was so obsessed, my little sister‘s name is Shelby Lynn! 4mo

JenlovesJT47 @FashionableObserver that‘s so cool! And that‘s one of my fave lines, too — Clairee is the best and it‘s the way she says it that‘s so funny 😅 I‘ve had lines going through my head all day. “Don‘t know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt” 😅 4mo

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🐝💝. 4mo

FashionableObserver @JenlovesJT47 Yes! Miss Clare was a classic!! When she bought that radio station and named herself the color announcer…😩 “Would you call that grape or aubergine..?” 🤣 I. Cannot. 🤣 (edited) 4mo

FashionableObserver @dabbe I use that line a lot, too! I swear, steel magnolias has a line for everything that you will encounter in life! 4mo

JenlovesJT47 @FashionableObserver no one cares about that grape shit! 😅 lol I love how Ouiser just unashamedly checks out all the dudes in the locker room! 4mo

dabbe @FashionableObserver 🩵🎯🩵 4mo

FashionableObserver @JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I didn‘t get a chance to watch the other night. I‘m definitely spending some time with those ladies this weekend. Jen, I‘m so happy you posted about SM! ❤️ 4mo
