classy

List Wednesday 4 days late - sorry! Since this is already late, let's just cut to the chase: I'm not one to be super stuck to gender roles nor am I the most feminine woman, but should a female evolve into a woman with a certain degree of femininity, I believe there are things that one can adopt that would make one just a little more lovely, or at least can help one avoid committing things that make people like me say "that's not cute."

== 7 WAYS TO BE A LITTLE LOVELIER OR TO KEEP ME FROM SAYING 'THAT'S NOT CUTE (N.I.A.P.O.) ==

  1. Use a handkerchief (this is actually something I wish everyone would do - it could save some resources/trees in tissue production).
  2. Cover your mouth when you yawn (this also can actually be a rule for everyone).
  3. Wear a slip! (especially with skirts or dresses made of stretchy or thin fabrics)
  4. Wear the correct bra for the garment you are wearing. No one wants to see bra straps, even when they're cute.
  5. Don't burp out loud (at least not outside of the home - hmmm...also can be applied to men).
  6. Don't wear flip flops to work (this also can apply to men who dine in restaurants - no one wants to see your feet when they eat).
  7. Just don't be a bitch (or for men, a douche).
...perhaps this List should be renamed to 7 WAYS MEN AND/OR WOMEN CAN BE EASIER ON THE SENSES.  So I guess femininity is not the issue at hand, but rather refinement and civility.
