Sometimes I mistake ridiculousness for brilliancy.

A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

Coco Chanel

That is definitely one of my favorite quotes of all time, mostly because it's so applicable for all women. But also because it's so relevant. It really bothers me when I come across some really physically attractive ladies, yet when they start to speak or act, their pretty looks are far from anything that is 'classy'. I find it sad and extremely bothersome. I mean, seriously, having class doesn't even require money. Not all those who are financially wealthy have class and not everyone considered underprivileged lack class. In the end, it solely depends on the manner in which you carry yourself.

I have recently met a young woman (about my age) and although she is quite a sight, I have come to learn (don't ask how) that her pretty looks totally opposes the manner in which she conducts herself. Needless to say, I was totally turned off. But I also felt sad (and bad?) that her looks would not be able to compensate for the lack of class. I don't want to seem judgmental towards her (I swear, I'm not!) but I suppose it's just another portrait of reality: that one cannot have everything. 

Class versus Physical Attractiveness. I'm definitely choosing class. I know that I'm not the head-turner type, but I believe I behave in such a manner that is ladylike, refined, and cultured. That definitely matters more than looks to me as it is something you carry with you all throughout your life, from childhood (if you've been disciplined or "taught" enough early on) until your old age.

I don't know. This stuff just matters a little more than it should to me, perhaps. Then there are also those who try too hard to be classy. But that's another story. Ha! 

Yes, I observe the way you conduct yourself, whether you are alone or within a group of people. One can learn so much from another if one chooses to pay attention to details.

Am I weird? Probably. But hey, at least I keep it classy. ;-)
