Must haves:
1 Big hair
2 Big shiny cars ( That you drive very dangerously fast at all times)
4 Big house
3 Designer purse
4 Tan

Oh and of course if you have a daughter you better get her in cheer leading or gymnastics asap.

Basically a more conservative Beverly Hills outlook on life. lol.
Ironic since more residents of Dallas were born in other countries (particularly Mexico) than are white.

Are you saying that foreign born and first generation Mexicans must have big houses and designer purses?

I don't think she was considering the ones that don't belong here. I would imagine that drops that number of Mexicans significantly.

It's still relevant based on the topic being so general.

Hey one post wonder, meet us at Forest and Central tonight for a 35 mile bike ride through downtown and back through the park cities. You know, since the weather is so bad.
