Bloomin' Yankee - a list by hanahula

Options for This Page

About this list:

Although I do have English (and Irish and Scotch and Welsh) blood coursing through my veins, I was born and bred in the USA. A Yankee for most of my life, I only ventured south of the Mason-Dixon line to attend college in North Carolina. While I have more than a bit of Anglophilia, I cherish my American roots. I've been to Plymouth Rock. I vote. I sing the "Star Spangled Banner" at baseball games. I am, in short, a Blooming Yankee. Proud of it. Here's my ode to the Red, White and Blue.

Qualifications:

Just a yankee doodle damsel

UrbanOutfitters: Bean Town Lover Tee

First to recommend

Born in Boston, I will always consider it my hometown. Even though I never lived within the city limits, I have a visceral connection to the people, the sports teams and the history of the place. In fact, the "Boston Tea Party" is the event that inspired the name of tee shirt list.

Nike: Women's ISO Code (USA) T-Shirt

First to recommend

Description

Perhaps I am a bit of a contrarian, but consider the number "13" to be quite lucky. Interestingly enough, the women's gymnastics team finals will be held on August 13, 2008. Competition between China and the USA will be intense, so women's Team USA members Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, Chellsie Memmel, Alicia Sacramone, Samantha Peszek and Bridget Sloan need all the support they can get . . . and a little luck wouldn't hurt either.
