    My mother is quite plain on the outside. She has no style and I have never seen her with make up on or her hair done in any other way than short and combed down. She is very quiet and reserved. Her only real accomplishment in life was raising a bunch of kids and making her husband the happiest man for 47 years.
    But I am telling you, every man that comes around falls in love with her. She has this inner-elegance and beauty that you can feel without her saying a word. She is so peaceful, content, warm, carefully and well-spoken, and she just has this amazing grace about her.
    When she had stage 4 terminal cancer she was so calm and meditative, never breaking her peace or character once. The doctors told her she had no chance but she said that God told her she would recover and she refused to believe anything else. In 6 months she was cancer-free and has remained cancer-free 4 years.

    Your videos are great for men to watch too. Much of what you say can apply to men, if not in the exact form, then in a slightly adapted one. For example, keeping a straight posture works incredibly well for men too, and is masculine.
    The same goes for keeping order, being frugal, guarding our mind, using our time on self development as opposed to waste it on netflix too often. It also holds true for preparing ourselves for marriage. Although of course from a male perspective, with activities that interest us and more focus on skill development towards repairs, construction, job proficiency and other traditionally masculine activities. Along with acquiring male brotherhoods with other men.

    My grandmother taught at a finishing school for young ladys back in her days. My mother herself was very successful at beauty pageants and later trained girls for that competions as well. So it was natural that I was very early on educated on being elegant, graceful and cultivate my feminity. As I went to college it was often criticize for being too girlish, fargile and princess like. For a long time I tried to supress it. Recently by entering the workforce and becoming more mature with experiences I decided to become very subborn about it and to keep and develop that poise even further.
    Unfourtunately I encountered more rejections about it by other women (especially those in higher positions) for not being „feminist“ / „equal“ enough. Men suprisingly reacted very positive (yesss even my superiors in the workplace).

    Thank you so much for this. Growing up I was always afraid to be sexualized because I wanted to be valued for who I was, so I was terrified of ever being perceived as feminine (when I say terrified, I mean TERRIFIED. I cried at my 8th grade graduation because I wore a dress and felt uncomfortable.) Now at 19, I realize that I shouldn't be afraid of appearing feminine and that being feminine is NOT a bad thing! And that I can be successful and confident AND be feminine! In today's third-wave feminism, femininity is ironically seen as inferior and a subject of the patriarchy and therefore women should strive to be more masculine. Instead, I believe that the feminine element is beautiful and unique and should be embraced, not erased.

It demonstrates class, refinement and there is a type of innocence and purity to it that makes me feel endearing and protective toward her.

    Flattering, tailored clothing is amazing. It transforms your whole self-image and makes people notice you in a good way - not a trashy way.

    Caitlyn, it may be that some people find the butterfly wings concept a little childish. However, I think it is a much more effective idea than the old 'book on the head' scenario. I once proved to my mother that i could a book on my head perfectly, whilst slouching. The string from the head is ok, but the butterfly/Angel wings idea is just perfect! Blessings and love to you and yours xxx

    What do you do when you attract unwanted attention by being so friendly? I live in an urban area in L.A., so here we HAVE to look unfriendly to survive.

      In my opinion I don't think there's anything wrong with having a stricter or uninterested look on your face if you judge for yourself that this is better for you in this specific situation or environment. I think as long as you know that this is just a look you are wearing for the moment but not who you are naturally. Just remember to smile as soon as you are comfortable, and if you feel like it, try just faking a smile just for yourself to get rid of that harsh indifferent feeling. My two cents.

      Same problem I don't want to attract unwanted attention I don't want someone to stick their eyes on me everytime I get out of my house, there's this man way older than me and he always wants my attention and so when he is around I pretend to be mad always and roll my eyes if ever I had to interact with him and I hate it I'm not comfortable.

    Thank you so much for bringing light to this topic. Growing up I always wanted to be that gracious positive princess, but people often times would misunderstand it for being “too girly” or most often times “weak”. You’re videos mean so much to not only me, but also to the younger me.❤️ Thank you for reminding me that it’s okay to be me and that embracing my femininity is a positive thing. ❤️❤️❤️

I’m Muslim but I believe that Christians and Muslims have the same values as well as the same opinion when it comes about a lot of things so I want to tell you that I’m really thankful towards you and I’m really proud of you because I’ve seen most of all your videos and your videos show how much it evolved and how much though you put on them

    Tip: Give up drinking more than 1 at most 2 drinks in ANY social situation, no matter how close the friends. Just don't do it. Might seem fun in the moment but the next day you're going to be so embarrassed of the jokes you made.

    Hello I'm Alexis and in the process of transitioning from male to female im 18 and lost my mother at 15 and didn't have a chance to tell her about my desire to become a woman instead of a man, I'm starting with this video and automatically downloaded a majority of your videos (with youtube red), although manners are apart of my everyday life and my mother did teach me to be a respectful young man and human being but yours are much more to that for me.
    I love how well you're explaining things in a way that's easy to comprehend, sure I like crop tops and short shirts but I feel as though like you said there is wisdom to flattering attire and that mystery is elegant I'm learning a lot about being the woman I want to be and I want my daughters to become; beautiful, smart, but still elegant and very well mannered thank you so much you are a true role model and the woman I do not aspire to become you but the version of an elegant and beautiful woman I feel I am. Knowing boundaries and limits to relationships and even myself thank you so much love and I hope to learn more about being humble and calm I look forward to your future on youtube you are a true elegant woman not because of your attire and makeup but personality and way of presenting yourself.

    Hi and thank you for these beautiful videos. I'm a 45 year old homeschooling mom of 3 children.
    My 12 year old daughter and I just finished watching this video because I believe that you set a good example of what a young Proverbs 31 woman looks like.
    Also, coincidentally at the ripe age 44 my Chiropractor finally got the courage to ask me about my slumping over posture. I really didnt know that this is how I stood. When he asked me to consciously correct it, I was blown away. He asked how long have you been standing this way? I finally realized that it was since I was a preteen and started hiding my large breast. He said he sees it all the time.This is a sad unconscious effect of protecting ourselves from unnecessary sexual shame which causes a lot of physical problems. Our internal organs need all the space available to function properly. I dont want this for my daughter who is also tall and may develop large breast. We will continue to watch and include your videos into our daily studies.

    It is so wonderfull to know that there are other women who behave this way. I am blessed to have a mother who raised my sister's and I to be feminine ladies. But I have never encountered anyone my age who carries herself the same way until now. I watch your videos smiling and nodding along, every point you touch on is the life I live. It warms my heart to know that there is a growing community here that is seeking after this lifestyle as well.

    Can you talk about how we, in our feminine energy, can inspire our partner to be more masculine?
    As we moved into a more serious relationship i noticed i was putting in a lot of masculine energy, trying to control too much and i want to take a step back into my femininity and inspire him again to be in his masculine.

    I agree with what you are saying but I also believe in a level of vulnerability. I think there is a fine line balance between being stuck up, discrete and vulnerable.
    By being vulnerable we are able to connect with people more deeply.

    I really like that you mentioned speaking with manners to waiters etc, and not talking down to anyone. I'm a bit of a lifelong scruffy tomboy but trying to get a bit more in touch with my feminine energy. Not gonna catch me in a pink ruffly floral dress anytime soon, but I take little bits that suit me/my lifestyle. And even at my most rebelling against femininity stages, this point was a big deal to me. Any date with a man who clicked his fingers impatiently at the waiter would be our first and last.

    What you said about having a larger chest and not being ashamed of it and still trying to have good posture really spoke to me. When I was in band in middle school, other girls would make fun of my posture and insist I was "sticking them out" on purpose. I've had bad posture ever since.

It was a good reminder for me to get connected to myself again without troubling what other people think.

    What I really like about this is the fact that you can emphasize and accept the merit in elegance or class without taking it from an elitist or ancient perspective. I don't feel as though what your saying is in any way regressive or misogynistic. A lot of other people who talk about class or elegance do seem as though they are taking it from that regressive perspective, but you're not doing that. You're recognizing the merit in the freedom that women have to choose, without completely disregarding the value in elegance itself. It's very refreshing to listen to you.

    There are obvious differences between Dita Von Teese and Mrs. Midwest. However believe it or not they have a great deal in common. I can listen to both of them and learn so much about womanhood and feminity and elegance and so on and so forth YET I come down morally and spiritually and more akin to the lifestyle of Mrs. Midwest, without putting down Ms. Von Teese's advice. I have no desire to emulate Ms. Von Teese overall lifestyle and/or job (lol), but there is a lot that one can learn from her as well even if one has Mrs. Midwest's moral and/or religious beliefs. I mention her because, again, even though morally we may differ in a lot of things, women who are in committed relationships/married could learn a thing or two from Ms. Von Teese that Mrs. Midwest may not necessarily feel that comfortable talking about (due privacy or modesty), and women who may not necessarily believe in the exact same things as Mrs. Midwest, could learn a lot from Mrs. Midwest as well, that in my opinion, Ms. Von Teese is missing in her own life/repertoire. There is nothing wrong with privacy nor modesty and having a more spiritual or religious outlook about sex and its proper place in our lives yet at the same time learn about and explore sensuality and sexuality within the proper boundaries of a committed/married relationship. It is very interesting.
