    I bought a little table that supposedly was used in Aunt Pittypat's parlor in Gone with the wind. I ended up selling it to a drag queen who was the ultimate GWTW fan . His drag name was Scarlett Butler ! The shop I got it from also had a desk used in the Prisoner of Zenda ,Man in the iron mask,and a few others that escape me. I was never able to confirm that table I bought was in the movie,I watched GWTW over and over to try and spot it. It did have a tag on it with the so called inventory number,what film,etc.

    Cool! I know of a few items I'd like to have, but like you, I can't confirm true use of the items in said movies.

    A windy named Scarlett Butler with Aunt Pittypat's table - bet he served the tea over that thing many a time.

    It's an accepted term for major Gone with the Wind fans, as used by said fans. But... I like it too. :D

    Sometimes even I cant believe the life Ive had ! So many crazy adventures,so much fun ! Scarlett and I remained friends for years ,he was a lovely person. He used to wear a big hoop skirt with lights threaded thru it during his numbers,seeing was believing ! He used to try and stump me with GWTW trivia but never could.Then he'd give me free drinks for every right answer (he was a bartender too) . Ah the memories. :)

    I can believe it! Would have been a blast too. These days spilling the tea/tea party means spilling the gossip, but then again it always did.
