MY LATEST OBSESSION

     Is it sexist to think in this day and age people should have manners? Is it wrong for gentlemen to be chivalrous, and ladies to be classy? Am I the only one who is repulsed when she hears her fellow sister peers use profanity as many times a they can fit it into a sentence? (not saying I don’t use it either, if you. know me or read this blog you’d know that) Is it sexist to say that when people use manners they will get farther ahead in life.
     For instance, would you fall for the slob with the constantly stained shirt, or the romantic, who, when with you, opens every single door for his lady? It is a fact the people who use etiquette are classy. Everyone knows classy leads to respected, and respected leads to being effective. If you have a passion for what you do, you want to be effective. You want to be known for your passion.
     Victorian etiquette is, well, a little outdated. But in some ways very true. The women of the Victorian era, were obsessed over image. All though I believe that humanity needs to be real with their peers. I also believe people have a certain image that they want others to see them as.
     If I wanted to be known for my brains, the intelligence that I have in real life, you would see me reading classic novels, over this months issue of SEVENVTEEN. I guess what I’m trying to write is that your actions have to match up with how you want people to perceive you. But, at the same time you need to find a balance between perception, and the real you.
     These Victorian women were strong housewives, mothers, and domestic servants. Although, they had the hardest job in the world, and a perfect excuse to be trashy, they kept it classy. They let their man take care of them, and the threw some of the most kickin’ tea parties in town.
    Below is a link to a website about the Victorian era and it’s etiquette. Check out the link read their rules and think of how you can apply these rules to your daily life. And until next time, keep it classy! Have a fantastic weekend, and I hope to see you here on Monday!
