Those Queens Can Shimmy submitted by Amy Wallen
Loralva got all the way to the Pulpwood Queen Book Festival (http://www.beautyandthebook.com/) and found out that due to one of them glitches that God only knows the true meaning of, MoonPies couldn’t be found for sale. But she made the best of it. How can you not, she figured, when all the ladies are wearing tiaras and her all time favorite of fabrics—leopard skin. She donned her rhinestone-encrusted western vest, grabbed her embroidered bowling bag purse and whooped and hollered all night long at the Hair Ball. She chose her fuschia Carol Channing wig for the occasion and partyed with the likes of Tippy Hedren, Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball and all sorts of other dead Hollywood types. Those Pulpwood Queens sure know how to boot scoot. The Pulpwood Queen Mum, Kathy Patrick, both proprietress of Beauty and the Book Hair Salon and Bookstore and founder of the Pulpwood Queen weekend was not only Loralva’s favorite tiara-wearing, book-loving queen, but someone to admire considering she traveled everywhere with the back of her car loaded down with a chair in the shape of a giant velour high-heeled leopard skin slide and a bottle of red fingernail polish the size of an armadillo. Plus, that lady knows a good read almost better than Loralva knows a good man. Not to mention she’s probably read just as many books. When Loralva got back to Devine, she climbed up on top of her mobile home, stood right next to her TV antennae, and announced to the entire trailer park that every reader within shouting distance should join the Pulpwood Queen book club.
