Single Ladies:The Lady And The Tramp

"All the single ladies,all my single ladies,all the single ladies....put your hands up...'',ladieees!*wave*I am back.Yes Lady E,your guide in our quest for Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It.
I think as we have been going through this series,we are learning a thing or two about our potentials and ourselves.'Charity begins at home',a cliche saying but I believe that if we take care of ourselves,in terms of personality and grooming,those church bells are not so far-fetched from ringing.(Don't you just love the sound of the word ''ring''?).

Today,we are going to get groomed.If you recall the article where we asked the gentlemen out there what they defined as wifey material.I think we need to clarify this because we just might hit the jackpot,if we take appropriate measures.

We discussed the issue of appearance versus perception,where Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It might have the wrong perception of single lady because she might not meet ''wifey'' expectations.So here is the deal,we do not want to give false impressions but we need to fall into the right category.We are going to separate the lady from the tramp.(Yes I said it).

Lady.Definition:a well groomed woman,with refined mannerisms:and is either from an aristocratic background,or is socialized into this culture.Tramp,now y'all don't want me to go me to go there,but the subtle synonyms are:harlot,prostitute,...and we go on.So,Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It meets single lady in a club,in an LBD. From head to toe what does her outfit shout out,a)Take me home because i am a....,or,b)I am just here to hangout with my girls but I have an 11 o'clock curfew,(self imposed of course).

Yes ladies,hair,dress and make-up are essential.There is a difference between looking like a drag queen and looking like a 'queen'.There is also a difference between dressing sexy and skanky. And then when it comes to manners and public behaviour,please,please,ladies do not open bottle caps with their teeth,(no matter which part of town you come from),ladies do not run even when late, do not shout across the room, or road, do not dance like they have a pole in the middle street,(the pole dancing is for your personal space...personal).I could go on,and on..but you will have to read my full blog.

At the end of the day,ladies,we need to be the type of women that Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It can be intrigued by,and also would want to call,''wife''.So ladies,self assertion,when you are in public,what you post on your social media pages, what are you portraying? The lady or the tramp?

*Beyonce wave*Ladies....

P.S: Always write your own love story.

Ciao!

Lady E

Single ladies: Wife material

MPV.....my point of view! Single Ladies: Wifen Material *Royal wave*Hey single ladies,your guide is back.The pursuit for Mr Put-A-Ring-On-It is on.Today I would like to make you a get-a-ring-on-it lady. Now following my articles,'Single Ladies Part 3',where I talked about the prince searching for a 'real princess',or 'Queen';and 'Brown Sugar',where the word 'brown sugar' was defined as wifen material,I would like to talk about 'wifey material'.(Whether we are that). How do we single ladies get that ring-on-it,you ask?By being wifey material.My uncle keeps on telling me,'If you want to become Mrs X,you should be a wife.You are a wife before he puts a ring on it'.What he means is that,a man will treat you the way you portray yourself.How,you ask? Ever noticed the difference between a wife and a girlfriend.Now let me break it down for you.A girlfriend usually,takes life in a more leisurely way;unlike a wife,whose focus is mo...

Like A Love Song

The best ever written love song isn't perfect but it works! 'I,I love you like a love song baby,I,I love you like a love song,babe.....',young Selena Gomez singing,and vocalising what we would all take love as...a LOVE song. The love song. Women can only dream about being loved the way Gerald Levert put it,'made to love you', or have 'this love' a la Donell Jones. And I'm not talking about the exaggerated 'catching of grenades','crossing oceans',drinking of lovers' bath waters.But a love that leaves one gasping for air as they try to breathe in,a love that gives one warm fuzzy feelings inside.A love that also stands the test of time,and conquers all. But is the impression we are given by love songs similar to real relationships?Would a man not want to be 'mad' like Ne-yo, or beg you to 'stay' like Tyrese? Some may agree,whilst others would be at the other end of the pole. In the mean time men might find Beyonc...

I Ain't Got My Shit Together

It's okay that I'm not the ideal because I'm a work in progress! I was listening to Brandy's discography and then I resonated with the lyrics to 'Camouflage'. I love the part when she sings, " And God knows I ain't perfect, Tell me who in the world is, All I know is that I'm searching, For somebody to love me with." Yes, then I recall my many arguments with Sagittarius. Always fighting dirty and hitting below the belt. As I have previously highlighted, I asked of him, to step up and meet me halfway. That's what normal people in a relationship do, right? Attempting reverse psychology on me, he would state that I thought of myself as 'perfect'. Whilst I chastised him, not to be condescending, but to make the relationship 'work', but I was the villain. He would be petty and sulk that he's always wrong with me instead of taking responsibility. Sigh! I wish that he chose to understand that I'm far from perfect. I hav...

Before We Lay

“Every father bears a fundamental obligation to do right by their children,” - Barack Obama With the hype and quotes around Michelle Obama’s book, ‘Becoming’, Barack seems to be the ‘ideal man’. Of course he is only human and bound to err, but for purposes of this discussion, his quotes are a point of reference. We live in an age of great access to information whether negative or positive. We are also in a space for more conversation about sexual liberation. In a previous post, I shared about the modern woman owning her sexuality. And I still stand firmly by that stance, because ownership of one’s sexuality also reflects upon other areas of their life. That point was also touched on, when I discussed about celibacy. The point is that we are in charge of what mostly happens in our lives based on our ‘choices’. Part of choice is being responsible and accountable. Responsibility isn’t fun to be honest but it’s necessary especially for maturity. In other parts of our liv...

It’s the Little Things

November is the prelude to the year end, so why not count the things to be grateful for... These days my sister will always be blasting Janet Manyowa’s ‘Grateful’ album. It’s remarkable how timely the album is despite our current challenges in the country. While Americans begin the festive season with ‘Thanksgiving’, I decided to also partake in my own small way. The past few weeks have been tumultuous to say the least. But this thanksgiving I decided to appreciate the least yet best of what I have. A friend of mine shared that ‘a lot can happen in a year’. Initially I didn’t believe him because for a long time I circled around the same place the Israelites in the desert for 40 years. But this year, my fortune changed in all aspects of my life. I was challenged to level up, step out and even grow.  A lot has happened in one year to the extent I have forgotten some things. What I have come to appreciate are the people who have been part of my journey. Gosh, tears f...
