"Sweet tea drinkin, bar-b-que eating, mountain-to-beach livin, hell raisin’, pearl and flip-flop wearing, under-the-moon kissin' girls of South Carolina are the absolute best in the world!"

"There is something different about people from the coast of Carolina. Its like we are our own race. We love things people that aren't from here hate, like the salty water, the pluff mud, the sting of a sunburn, the sand. Our perfect day starts with gassing the boat, loading the cooler and heading for the water. We never see the sunrise but we watch it set from the harbor. Our blood is a mixture of salt water and sweet tea. We love a good time, we love Shaggin' and Jimmy Buffet. We wear flip flops, even when its 40* outside. We work hard all week, but we play that much harder on the weekends. We are devoted to our friends, the water, porches, and music. See thats the thing I have learned about being from the coast... I could never guess where life will take me, but I will never forget where I came from."

Tamra Lynn. Tammy. Tam. T.
Opinionated to a fault.
Loud mouthed and usually, always laughing.
Quick tempered and vicious as fuck.
I rep the ATM. Fo’ sho’. Fo’ Life. “So what you gotta crew? I gotta crew too.”
I roll with the absolute best.
Country girl with a city girl’s heart. I dream of skylines and bright lights. Instead, I get dirt roads and amazing nights.
Completely, 100% enamored with words.
In love with love and a certain person.
Bleeds music notes.
Loathes discrimination and believe in equality for all. Old, young. Black, white. Man, woman. Gay, straight.
Abhors parents who cannot teach their children manners and how to behave decently. Don’t have children if you cannot do that. I’m not the one who is supposed to correct your brat’s behavior, you are.
Concerts make my soul happy and my heart skip beats. Nothing feels the way those nights do.
Favorite place to be is in a car, windows rolled down and the radio turned up. Singing loud and off-key with my loves and laughing as the wind turns us into hot messes.
Believes in karma, second chances, and fate.
Thinks everything happens for a reason and everyone should learn from their mistakes. If you make the same mistake twice, you deserve to be burned.
Thinks her body is a canvas. You are beautiful only when you feel beautiful in your skin. Tattoos, piercing, I have them all and I adore each and every hole or inked area on my body. I do not care the tiniest bit if you hate them. That’s your opinion, you’re entitled to it but I’ve never felt more gorgeous than I do right now. I am who I want to be.
Wants every one to know that just because I am tattooed and pierced does NOT make me a bad person. I was raised by a wonderful mother who taught me right from wrong. Who will stand by me no matter what, who loves me unconditionally and who taught me manners. Ink and metal do not change the fact that I am a GOOD person. Never judge a book by it’s cover. The pages matter. Not the artwork.
