She’s a Lady: The Garter Belt Gal
This will come as a surprise to no one, but The Bootstrap Gentleman has the ladies swooning. One such ingenue, known only as the Garter Belt Gal, has kindly requested to contribute her thoughts on the modern gentleman to this humble tome. Never one to turn down a damsel’s deepest desires, Bootstrap has readily acquiesced.
The Garter Belt Gal, although a thoroughly modern woman, has, I am assured, ascribed herself to the gentility of yesteryear. Although somewhat of a mystery I have been able to glean that the GBG ran away from finishing school and ensconced herself in the family suite at the Sherry-Netherland. From her art deco perch she is well-positioned to comment on the degradation of society below.
When coming down to street level for the occasional DAR luncheon or Broadway revue, she longs for the days when Mrs. Astor’s 400 reigned over the social scene. Once her feminine sensibilities have been thoroughly offended she retreats to her luxury boudoir.
It is from this satin-lined refuge that she will be commenting on the horrors she has experienced and the bright spots that give her hope. Be on the lookout for much to come from the Garter Belt Gal.
Hubba hubba (blue blood gets me hot under the collar).
