Women have turned to the opposite of glamour, such as comfort, masculine behaviors, and feminist thought. They lose, so why do it?
· To make the sexes look more alike? Well, dropping glamour from everyday life makes women abandon female standards of dress and grooming, and men gain the advantage when female standards weaken.
· To act more like men? Well, women now dress and groom carelessly and sloppily and take up masculine eating habits and weight-gain proneness. They do the same raising their daughters. Do females benefit?
· In response to the political agenda of Feminism? Well, it worked, and men have become more self-centered against females, the feminist agenda, and feminists’ most offensive strategy, political correctness. Plus, men have been bought off by free and easy access to sex with numerous females, so men don’t complain.
· To take women out of the role of competing with each other for men? Well, it doesn’t. Women now steal each others’ man much more than when glamorous trends inspired women to focus on their own attractiveness for holding onto her man.
· To shed the sex object image? Well, it works the opposite of intentions. Women now routinely appear unattractive for anything but sex.
· To make men look for internal attractiveness and discover her whole person? Well, Nature doesn’t work that way. Men look for internal qualities when they need more persuasive arguments to convince a woman into their first sex together. If she’s not attractive on the outside, it makes him look for another woman. If men are too quick to look elsewhere, women yield sex more easily. If women do that, men are released quicker to look elsewhere, which brings on more and quicker yielding.
From lack of glamour that markedly separates men and women, female relationship misery expands as men are kept focused on sex everywhere. Sex objectification doesn’t ever die, and failure to dress it up with glamour just makes women cheaper and easier for men.

Maybe this is a question for Mrs. Guy, but since I am a very shy lady (late 40’s and very married), I have a very hard time wearing the feminine clothes that I would like to wear. I feel like the other women are unhappy with me when I wear my skirts and dresses. It doesn’t help that I’m also, eh-hem, large in the chest area. I have long hair (won’t cut that!) and have always, even now at middle-age, gotten attention from men – which has always meant very little friendship with women. This makes me so sad! I guess the question is: Should I go ahead and wear the feminine clothes that I prefer to wear (since I’m not looking for a husband) or, since I’d love to have female friendship, maybe when I go out around them, just wear what everyone else does? I do try to be more feminine around my husband at home.

Your Exceptionalness Rose,
Mrs. Guy and I are one on this: You perceive everything so well, it makes your personal judgment highly fit and proper. Follow your instincts as you described probable intentions above. No one but you knows what’s best for you.

Dear Princess Rose et al,
It saddens me so that our culture has intimidated women into thinking they have to dress as men or face social sanctions (especially young ladies). Everywhere there are masses of women dressed slouchily, clucking away on their phones in public (don’t you miss phone booths?)and rarely smiling. As Guy Posted : Where Has All the Glamour Gone? Rose please pray for the courage of your convictions and dress to please God and yourself and not have to hide in your home to dare put on a lovely frock. We only have a short time on this earth and real Ladies yearn to dress as proper Ladies in public and at home. My Grandmother used to quote from memory a scripture from the Bible, “It is an abomination in the sight of God for a woman to wear men’s apparel”. When was the last time you heard that quoted from the pulpit? Dressing in pants does change a women’s behavior, demeanor, heart; and society to the detriment of all. Please choose to please Our Lord Jesus in your wardrobe and perhaps you might inspire your friends to dress in a Ladylike fashion as well. The readers of WWNH can start a Pretty Revolution in our own circles and watch it catch on. If we wait for fashion designers to bring back Glamour we may never see another real life Lady in this lifetime on the catwalks or even in Church if the unisex trend continues to have no courageous objectors. Ladies throw away your jeans, pants, flip flops, baseball caps, shorts, back packs, t shirts and don something Grace Kelly or Princess Di would wear. Truly, you will be amazed at the compliments you will receive from both men and women and your true friends will admire you for it.
Love and Courage,
Lady Carmen

Wonderful advice Lady Carmen. As soon as I can afford to, I’m planning to get some new feminine clothes and start chucking my pants. (I don’t really wear the other stuff). I’m not going to let other people dictate what I wear, especially if those people are acting out of jealousy. If they want to look ugly and boring, that’s their problem. I really do believe we can brighten up our little corners of the world.
