Good Morning. Where do babees come from?

lol  No idea! SusieWong started it back when the LW board was getting a second wind in late 2007 early 2008.  I think it's a slang term used by writers to bring across the way some folks sound when they say baby and I think I saw Kresley Cole use it in one of her books too. The only reference I can find is an article from Sports Illustrated dated Oct 1972.

If Nastase were Br'er Rabbit, controversy would be his briar patch. If you're looking for trouble, you've come to the right place, he seems to be saying. In reality, trouble is a piece of the game for him; it is a vital part of life. "Why they talk me all the time, babee?" he asks in happy, lilting English, a speech pattern that is broken into the pleasant Latinate sounds of his Rumanian accent. His use of the English language is devoid of almost all prepositions and articles as well as many forms of the verb "to be." His slang—"babee," "shudup"—is impeccable. "Why they listen me and nobody else and ask me behave? What is behave? Every player like this, not only me, babee. We all nervous, all temperament, all crazy."

Have a great Thursday, babeees!

I miss our SusieWong babeee and her sunglassed adorned, having a little smoke afterword a little something something emoticon. I fondly remember all her racy talk about fishnets, stilettos and red wine. I love all my LW's, but there will never be anyone who can fill SusieWong's stilettos babeee!! I hope she and her man are living blissfully in Texas!!

Oh wait, what was the original question babeee???

Have a great day!!

I wasn't around back then, but I definitely like the term. I always say it in my head when I type or read it.

Hope everyone has a great day! No class today, just finished an intense workout and I am ready for my trip to the outlet mall with my mom tomorrow! We do it twice a year to get new Coach bags!

Did you get a Coach coupon in the mail?  My DD was so excited when she got hers.  She's planning on using it this weekend at our local outlet mall.

I'm also too new but I love the word. 
I'm headed to High Point to do something I thought I'd never be doing.  I am chaperoning the MIss USA, NC pagent.  Little country girl me who has never been interested in dressing up or make up or anything in that arena.  I was always at a horse show, not a pagent.  I gave myself permission on my 50th Bday to stop wearing makeup.  Oh well, a friend and I were asked because we had experience herding kids through pony club rallies so here we go.  At least I have a friend to go with.  Actually, it will be fun, I hope.  I will get to wear my new size, thrift store clothes and show off my new figure (althought they won't know it's new).  Anyway, we'll give it a go.

Yippepee!  This would be a great opportunity to take a photo (and share it with us!)

Also, if you've been out of practice with makeup for a while, there is ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME in heading over to your local department store and asking them to show you how to do it.  OR, if you have a friend who's good at it, ask the friend to help.  

So happy for this new you, Price!
