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

Script My Life: Unhealthy Relationship Tropes & Takeaways

Let art offer you introsp ect and choose a different imitation of life! Honestly, I wanted to 'sing my life' with Summer Walker's, 'Still not over it." For those who understand my eclectic. For the ladies of R&B, I love Kehlani, Teyana Taylor, Jhené Aiko, SZA, Queen Naija, and Summer Walker. Summer is a whole lot of mess, but hella talented. Her music speaks to my millennial soul. But I watched "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" with my sisters. Have you ever had a group of black women watch and assess a movie? As Amanda Seales once said, it's giving you an interactive experience. So many views on the plot. Honestly, though, I really need new flicks to watch! I had an "aha!" moment and decided to dig through my flicks. And due to my constant frustration with certain characters, here are the unhealthy relationship tropes and takeaways from each watch. Helen in a Diary of a Mad Black Woman Of course, this was the top of my list. Have I ever ment...

Are You Miss Bare Minimum?

You are worth the ICE! Intention. Commitment. Effort. Y'all, this is my proof of life. It's been a minute. It's been a tumultuous season, and I guess that I'm not the only one. I am glad though, that I am here to pour out and into you. You've always understood me. And then P!nk's 'Mizunderstood' becomes a backtrack to this conversation. But that's a conversation for another day. A nous allez! Bonjour, bonjour mes amies! Comment allez-vous? I'm taking it one day at a time. Picture this: you’re on a date, and instead of engaging in conversation, your date is glued to his phone, replying to texts that are definitely not from you. Or maybe he’s the ‘textationship’ king, flooding your screen with emojis but never making time for an actual face-to-face meeting. Now this is a good one, he's the convenience pro who gets to see you and spend time with you within his vicinity, and not outside his capacity. Now what do we call that *taps head thinking*...

Script My Life: Jane, Jane, Carrie!

Some stories are best watched as they play out... Ever watched a movie or TV series and relate to a character? How many parts of the plot line would you have loved to be part of your life? Filmmakers have managed to tap into our subconscious to draw emotions towards their films. There are certain characters that have become memorable with fans. We often quote them, use film analogies to explain real life and even play out the plot ourselves. Relating film to real life has become a common feature on this blog. We called it Script My Life, of which many of you are a fan of. To date the most viewed posts are the 'SML' for 'Madea's Family Reunion' and 'Why Did I Get Married?'. All I can say is thank you. We continue to bridge screenplays to our real lives today. Television series often bring various storylines in different genres. When I was young, I had an obsession with medical/hospital drama. Teen dramas became my thing during my early 20s. Remember...

MTV VMA Review: Missy Elliott, Supa Dupa Fly!

Yaaaas queen! Joy overwhelmed me by just watching Missy Elliott's MTV VMA performance. It's been 16 years since Missy last performed at the VMAs. That year, Missy was joined by Nelly Furtado and Timbaland, as they proved to us what genius looks like. Missy opened her performance with her latest single, "Throw It Back" before throwing fans back to her hits from yesteryear. She performed a medley that included 'The Rain', 'Get Ur Freak On', 'One Minute Man', 'Pass that Dutch' and 'Lose Control'. With each performance the 4-time Grammy winner invoked looks from each music video. She also reunited with dancer, actress and singer, Alyson Stoner, who remains a superb dancer. For those who aren't in the know, Alyson started dancing for Missy when she was a little girl. She became a staple in most of Missy's music videos. In 2015, Alyson paid tribute to the legend with a viral video of Missy's greatest hits. Missy...

The Slow Burn

Stop trying to control everything and start experiencing the slow burn. Hello, single ladies! Comment ça va mes amies? "Je suis bien!   Gather around; today we are having coffee and tea. I'll get my dose of caffeine as usual. I'm so inspired by the previous article. The inspiration came from the last few paragraphs, where I wrote about the slow burn. I remember the movie, "I Want You Back." The character Emma tells Peter that he's attractive, and she would date him, despite the fact that he is a slow burner. And then Kacey Musgraves' "Slow Burn" starts playing in my head. ("I'm alright with a slow burn"). As I decided to rewrite the scripts for my "love story," the last part challenged me. Do you remember what Kat Valdez said in "Marry Me"? If you want something different, you have to do something different. So, you make a different decision. I thought long and hard about that statement. I believe that I'm ...
