Femininity The Final Frontier

I have over this week , been watching a lot of episodes of Ladette to lady.
I have never seen any of the series before and it was quite alarming to see how girls behave in this day and age.



Not to say that there are no ladies of class and demeanour any more but it does seem like the more loudmouthed and impolite you are the better in this day and age.
It was quite sad to watch these girls not be able to comprehend how to behave.
For me personally I do not judge;  I just feel an introvert sadness and wish that I could do more to help people.


Constantly drinking, Burping as loud as possible passing wind and cavorting on one another like a dog in heat, it was so sad to see no grace or femininity in any of these young ladies at all.
It got me thinking if I could list my favourite top 10 feminine women who would they be?...

My Top Ten most Feminine Women of all Time (or to date..)

Number 10 Doris Day

NUMBER 10 Doris Day

Although she stared in calamity Jane and the Pyjama Game (both rather feisty roles) 
Doris is a lady of grace and elegance her poise and beautiful singing, dancing roles make her a lady of talents as well as beauty.

NUMBER 9 Elizabeth Taylor

NUMBER 9 Elizabeth Taylor
One of my favourite actresses Elizabeth has perpetual elegance employees in her tone mannerisms and acting ability.
She was said to have a darling personality, acknowledgement of people was flawless and her femininity was impeccable off stage or on.


NUMBER 8
NUMBER 8 Natalie Portman
Natalie is often featured in glorious beautifully feminine and floral adverts showcasing fruity delicate sense of modelling Chanel or playing in Swan lake (how delicately feminine is that?)
She is incredibly beautiful and her femininity is a evident in all her work.


NUMBER 7 Dita Von these
The thing is with Dita, although she is a burlesque dancer; which you have to have a certain amount of femininity to do I personally query how much of it is genuine or staged?
Obviously when she's performing she is the picture of poise, femininity and Seduction but her marriage to Marilyn Manson questioned her personal values behind-the-scenes.
I have seen pictures from their happiest times with him,of her glugging down a pint of beer in a leopard print elasticated cheap top, on a torn couch without a care in the world of how she looked so I wonder is this just part of her act being seen in the public eye or has she conformed since that point in her life? Change is always possible with determination so only she knows...

NUMBER 6 Natalie Wood

NUMBER 6 Natalie Wood
I adore Natalie Wood. For a lady that had such a difficult upbringing and a deprived torn family which even affected her in her adult life has femininity and venerability as a beauteous woman was always clear in her rolls or in her off screen personality.
Natalie may have been a bit too vulnerable because of her femininity. She was described as very paranoid and self conscious of what other people thought of her and always trying to push for the best impression on others however it's a beautiful sight to behold to see a woman acting like a woman.
She had a lot of disagreements with people in later life unfortunately that that was more to do with her declining health rather than her femininity.

NUMBER 5

NUMBER 5 Sophia Loren
What icon of beauty, sensuality and femininity.
Her face is still famous today, her hairstyles were popular she was the trend setter of her generation.
Personally I can't imagine Sofia Lauren burping as loud as possible and gyrating on any breathing  thing..

NUMBER 4

NUMBER 4 Maryln Monroe
Evidently troubled in her later life which drove her to commit suicide however Marilyn was officially known as the sex icon of her time.
Extremely feminine in every single thing she didn't even if she was a shared lead role in the movie she would always stand out (gentlemen prefer Blondes).
I do not admire her ethics or the way that she lived some part of her life, however Marilyn was a business woman and she knew how to turn on the charm in the best possible way some of it was definitely staged but that's what made her so attractive. She paid attention to her voice, poise  and her flirtatious manner not the best way for every woman to act that definitely encouraged gentleman to look her way. She flaunted her curves died had ginger hair blond and new exactly how to have a good time she was definitely a wild child of her day but that does not dismiss the fact that she is a lot more feminine than The wild child of our day Milie Cyrus.

NUMBER 3


NUMBER 3 Princess Diana
Princess Diana was an natural born beauty she was very shy and that added to Humility and sweet gracious charm so loving so caring and as dainty, as a French fancy, she was truly one of our English roses that we would definitely feel proud of in the history of England.
It was so sad when she passed away on my mother's birthday in 1997.
 I never forget when my mother  came into my bedroom that day crying I said:
 "why you crying on your birthday?"
and she told me Princess Diana had died that morning in a car crash. 
The nation was weeping that day.
Our princess has Gone but definitely not forgotten..

NUMBER 2

NUMBER 2 Audrey Hepburn
I am obsessed with Audrey from her films such as : My Fair lady and breakfast at Tiffany's to her delicate petite figure and bone structure! She's so cute and delicious! 
Audrey is officially the most feminine lady going! Super popular she is the ultimate fancy dress at every grown up party, with every girl styling their hair in the updo bouffant large glasses, pearls and that extra long cigarette holder.
She was just so pretty and so classy in every aspect of her being. It was natural to her; she was said to be utterly charming and gracious and just so caring! 
 Even in the latter part of her life all the work she was doing for charity was unbelievable, a constant giver and caring for others. She has to be one of the more popular ladies in history that exhume feminity and kindness.

NUMBER 1

NUMBER 1 Jackie Kenedy
Yes it's official Jackie Kennedy has to been number one feminine lady of all time.
A lady that had a few very difficult chapters in her lifetime; Jackie was in her time and in her memory today considered to be one of the most feminine and beautifully positioned women in history.
She was from a very well-to-do upper-class family and once she was the first lady of the United States of America maintained the all traditional American family image.
she kept her cool when things were not right within her marriage and was widowed at such a young age but still cultivated and maintained her beauty of nature.
I can honestly say Jackie is the picture of perfection in how a lady should carry herself with femininity grace and charm.



I have not been able to include everyone in my list of top 10 there is a special mention I must give to Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth and Kate Middleton, all of which I think deserve joint second/first along with Audrey and Jackie but there was only room for 10!


I haven't got time for the celebrities that grease themselves up like a deep fried sausage and take ridiculous images for attention (cough cough Kim Kardashian..) Sometimes it's nice to detach ourselves from all of that madness and remember our purpose and poise in life. Aiming for the best and visualising greatness.
