That's the thing in Atlanta and apparently elsewhere. People build these huge houses and then skimp on stock dors with 14 foot ceilings and foam molding. Yuck!

The ballgown(s), however, appeared infrequently until the bitter end of the relationship, when I was in Tara alone at night with several empty pitchers of martinis, supine on the Steinway while belting out Oh My Man I Love Him So.
