Proper Manners: Two Faced

Our great world has been ruled by man with all of wonders of  psychology. Yet, it has come to attention of ones who perverted other citizens minds. For, it's not proper to put on airs of a perfected person when in reality one is quite foul. Those choosing a life of greed have Ulterior motives as one such as this act out the role of a companion or a potential spouse. When the victim is tricked of ones falsehood there is no reason why they would betray them. Usually, theses trusted individuals would get what is desire then leave the poor souls quietly or ruin their reputation. Acts of this horrid nature are regrettably rewarded by others who are also fooled by the many masks. However, I must inform my readers that not all who put airs on are two faced. Many are actors, writers, and others who are in the eye of public. Usually ones who act as such are attempting to entertain and dazzle others into a sense of enjoyment. Like man, the line of  who is present to entertain and who is two faced is I'm afraid are blurred. For one cannot truly know who is friend and who is foe, but one factor is certain those who hurt others are quit foal as well as unruly.

The Love of Dress:Corsets

 The revolutionary idea of corsets which is to shape the woman form into what one might find as beautiful. There is no shame on adorning the corset to achieve a desired look however, some practices are not without dangers. Yes it’s true that the garment is flattering, but when laced too tightly the lovely helper has turned into a menace.Television programs such as, Hidden Killers of the Victorian Home on BBC, have demonstrated just how harmful the corsets can truly be. Organs and ribs of the body are pushed inwards creating difficulties breathing and other health risks. Also, pulled tight enough a “rib can break and pierce a lung”. There are safer methods of tightening a corset without strain or discomfort. One method suggests using stretchy fabric, but this can compromise the structure of a corset. Another is not tightening til one feels pain. Of course my method is when it’s put on I would have the ability to breath comfortably. For fashion shouldn't deformed the body. Instead it should accentuate the already existing features. If there’s any more questions, concerns or need of clarification please refer to the ask box below my portrait.

Proper Manners: Profanities

One might think that manners are quite simple and well learned throughout childhood. However, I fear that's not the case for I have unfortunately experienced unpleasantness of human condition. Today's topic will be the absolute words of good-nature. There are many people whose brutish profanity have caused great deal of discomfort for others. Instead of the perversion of the English language one must remember to keep their sense of dignity. While it’s acceptable to use among friends and decor. Such words shouldn’t be used in public or to insult the fellow man. So, not to tarnish your morals use kind words while keeping all foul language to oneself and comrades.

                                                                                           Sincerely,

                                                                                          Lady Victoria
