Be Royal in your Own Fashion.

There is a saying that "The way you carry yourself will often determines how you are treated". Many great men and women understand the philosophy behind these words.The biblical Queen Esther made use of her personality and carriage to a great advantage, from biblical accounts she simply outshone many a dozen of maidens and stole the heart of the then King. Though common by birth, it was no hinderance to a woman of Queen Esther's mentality. She simply glided into the king's court and caused a stir.
How does this affect the Modern day woman? I see alot of ladies lose touch with their inner woman, the inner woman described by Maya Angelou's poem "Phenomenal Woman". Almost nude and vulgar fashion is the order of the day.I go through the pages of society magazines and see all manners of women,both young,old,fat and slim dorning themselves in disrespectable clothings all in the name of fashion.Where have we gone wrong and where did we lose it?
I remember my grand-mother telling me that,my peeping bra strap was a taboo.I wonder what she would say about exposed butt cracks and nipples straining to pop out from some off-shoulder dresses and tops or boob tubes as we call them.I am not against wanting to be your best when you step out into the social world but I frown at "Indescent exposure".
I was at Tejuoso market to get some cosmetics,when a lady dressed like she was going to a club breezed past me. She was beckoned by the "Okrika" totting Ibo traders who she blantantly ignored. Feeling insulted,the men retorted to trading insults with her and finally the "A" word was said. Feeling slighted,I responded by telling the traders that they were being mean and the response I got was "Na only "A****o" go dress like that". I shut my mouth and continued with my own purchasing.My conclusion was that, insecurities and self doubts have made many women resort to almost baring themselves to be noticed by men. In the fight to be noticed as the best of the pack,they have lost all the essence of womanhood,thereby devaluing themselves in the eyes of men as opposed to the attention and recognition that they seek.
Why do we women allow men who on a normal day,would tremble in their shoes just to say "Hello!" to us to commonize and disrespect us in the lowest way possible. Ladies! Where is your pride? I repeat; the way you carry and dress yourself will often determine how you are treated. In the long run, appearing vulgar or common will make people disrespect you. For a queen respects herself and inspires the same sentiments in others.By acting regally and confident of your self, you make yourself destined to be a queen, even without the visible crown. Quit the "Indescent exposures" it is what you are inside that really matters...let it shine!
