Have you seen one lately? A lady, I mean. I had to scratch my head a few times to think of one.
There are the ‘traditional’ types of ladies, such as Audrey Hepburn and a more modern example – Kate Middleton.a
Then there are the modern ladies who dress the part, but whose choices in life are coloured by the progressive world we live in.
These modern ladies may not be considered a ‘lady’ by the old style ladies.
It’s wonderful to be a classy lady, but I believe our society no longer values the ‘uptight’ women who are always trying to please and be perfectly elegant.
Being elegant all the time is terribly one dimensional. If you have to be elegant all the time, then you lose that whimsical side to your personality.
In other words, you can lose that playfulness and fluidity in your personality that makes you able to connect on multiple different levels with many different people.
I mean, just because one is a lady doesn’t mean she is to be restricted in life.
It doesn’t mean she has to be untouchable, and unable to get herself dirty.
Confining oneself to strict ladyship is terribly one-dimensional and annoying for one’s friends, family and acquaintances.

How To Be A Modern Lady
Firstly, to “define” our subject of interest:

Just keep your sense of humour and an open mind while you read, and you’ll find the real way to be a modern lady.
Nonetheless, here are some tips to get you further on your way to ladyship:
- Be generous with expressions of gratitude such as: ‘Thank You’ and ‘I appreciate that’.
- Don’t say that you need to go to the bathroom; just excuse yourself.
- When in doubt, dress modestly.
- If someone smiles at you; smile back.
- Do try to bring extra guests to an event, party or function. But ask politely first.
- It is imperative that you develop good posture, which isn’t too hard to achieve.
- Do say that you need to go to the bathroom, and excuse yourself.
- Whatever you do, do it with Poise.
- If a gentleman offers to pay for your dinner, politely accept and say ‘Thank You’.
- If somebody gives you a lift somewhere, always say ‘Thank You’.

- Don’t keep f*** buddies.
- Keep your natural skin colour! Ie: Rather your skin be naturally white as snow than as orange as this.
- Don’t get fake breasts. Unless you have had an illness that necessitates fake breasts, choose authenticity and real self love over trying to “trick” men into desiring you more. The smart men value what is real.
