Are you the Sexy Church Lady?
Summer plans for the classy cultural women of Charlotte
This is one classy woman. While she'll show a little leg and isn't scared to bear her arms, you'll never see more skin than that. Oh, and heels are always a must. While the Sexy Church Lady is in the front pew every Sunday morning, she still makes an effort to support the local cultural scene as often as she can.
