DRESS TO BE ADDRESSED - CLASSY NOT TRASHY

Saturday, October 12, 2013

Hey sweeties......................

Good news! LynnVille was invited for an interview with a gospel entertainment TV. It was all about inspirational blogging, what motivates/inspires/drives me, fashion, how I started blogging; of all different things to do, why choose blogging and the future for LynnVille? The interview is yet to go LIVE and when it does, you'll be the first to know.

There's a story which has been trending on some blogs today about "indecent dressing being the main cause of rape". TRUE OR FALSE? My opinion is 75% True. Some ladies go with the rule "If you have it, then flaunt it". While flaunting it, you draw unnecessary attention to yourself and when the attention comes, you start pleading for help. It is true that some men are he-goats, dogs and just beasts in human form who cannot contain and control their insatiable quest for sexual pleasures. Nevertheless, there is always an action before a reaction and in my opinion I think if ladies revealed less of their body, the haughty eyes of wicked and unreasonable men will not find them. It is not a new story that men are moved by sight; especially the ones who have willed their sense of reasoning to the lil' man between their thighs. If ladies know this fact and still dress trashy, they're either seeking wrong attention (obviously begging to be noticed), being stupid or purposely asking to be raped. The other 25% rape cases are innocent people and on this note, some men's p***** should just be cut off or forever remain inactive because they are just heartless and wicked. 

Ladies, please dress classy and not trashy. Dress like a woman of substance, honour and virtue. Your body is the temple of God, you're a treasured vessel bought with a price. Remember, gold is not found on the surface of the soil...one has to dig deeper before gold 

can be found - you are that gold. If gold was to be found on every surface of the earth, then it wouldn't be so valuable. Likewise, your body should not just be revealed in the open for the world to behold, it reduces your value and your self-worth. Showing off your goodies will only attract the wrong kind of men ad you definitely don't want to get caught in their web. They'll call you hot and sexy, you smile and giggle thinking you got them sprung; but by the end of the night they treat you like trash cos that's how you presented yourself to them #trashy. Men know EXACTLY how to treat a woman with class, so sweet sis...trash the trashy clothes and become a woman of honour and dignity. The price tag you place on a product determines how many people can afford it. What price tag have you placed on yourself and your body? What is your worth? Do you know your value? Are you just for any random man or for "The Man"? #foodforthought. Read my article on "A woman's worth" HERE

Back to the interview: It was a great experience, first time being on set with cameras talking about what I love to do. And....this is what I wore for the interview. Don't worry, I wore a black panty-hose cos I had to sit down, see the last picture (I can't be revealing my goodies abeg, saving it for "The Man" *winks*). Also with this London cold, you won't survive it with your thighs, legs exposed. The pictures were taken when I got home so I can quickly run upstairs afterwards.

Outfit details: Peplum dress-Miss Selfridge; Blazers-Forever 21; Bracelet-Forever 21; Shoe-Birthday Gift 2012; Earring-Newlook.

So do you agree/disagree that indecent dressing is the main cause of rape. Share your thoughts.

Have a beautiful week ahead...XX

WOULD YOU ACCEPT THIS OFFER???

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

My people, how una dey??? So my PC at work decided to vex today (my colleague said I was too hot the system couldn’t cope)….Ok, I digress. I was almost getting to the final stage of the work I was handling and all of a sudden, my system just trips off without any sign. I quickly informed my team leader who got in touch with IT and they started sorting out the issue….guess what? I was the happiest employee of the day, why? Cos I was declared as non-productive due to system failure, meaning my daily target was automatically slashed more than 65%. Yippeeeee, no work from 2pm. JThat gave me the opportunity to play while the IT guys tried to get my system back on track. It was in this very moment I found The STYLIST magazine on my desk and I began to flip the pages. What I saw was too funny for me to share alone, hence the reason for this article.

It seems paying for higher education is a struggle no matter where you live (true), but a strip club in Windsor Ontario, Canada believes it has found a way to help female students with their fees. The owners of Leopard’s Lounge are offering to pay for any aspiring dancer’s tuition fees as long as they maintain a B+ average. Students who work at the club during term time can receive up to $1,700 for full or part-time classes at local colleges or the University of Windsor. Changes in Immigration laws have stripped the club of dancers so they’re hoping the education fees will encourage women to dance for diplomas. (As written in the magazine).

Mogbe!!! Infact I was in shock I had to consult Google to confirm for myself. At first I thought to myself, why send a young girl to study and not show her good morals. It’s like taking a pig from the mud and giving it a bath in the Jacuzzi…then few hours later you take the pig back to the pigsty. The study will improve her status in life as lady with a degree but being a stripper throughout the 4 years of study will definitely have an impact on her. I think it’s just wrong; after you study and want to apply for jobs….what exactly would you say if your interviewer happens to be one of your clients? What do you think?

• Would u accept this offer or advise someone you know to accept this offer?
• Can you be that desperate to accept this offer?
• What is your opinion about this?

A WOMAN'S WORTH

Friday, March 2, 2012

It all started on a Sunday morning by 8.07am, a cry was heard on the hall-way of Sancta Maria Hospital and everyone in the waiting room leapt with joy. It was the 15^th of February 198(?), a baby girl was given as a blessing to a certain family somewhere in the eastern part of Nigeria. A bundle of joy as many will call it, but that day marked the beginning of my journey on earth as a WOMAN. Days turned to weeks, months, and years but as I grew older, I began to understand the precepts of being a woman. Mum will always tutor me on how to sit, stand, walk, talk – the total composure of a woman and during my teen years I’ll never forget something she said to me “Don’t let a boy touch you cos if it he does, you’ll become pregnant” (lol). I starred at her with my eyes and mouth wide open, engulfed with the fear of the unknown. But in my early 20s, I realised that mum said those words to keep me focused and to be careful with guys. At 21, I had the opportunity to live on my own (freedom of NYSC); away from mum and dad – it was time to experience the world for myself. Who I chose to be from that day will determine my future as a woman.

With time, I got to realise that there is so much expectation from you as a woman; in the family, at work and the society at large. But the most important is to live up to that which God has made you to be – your true value, far above rubies. After so much thought, I narrowed it down to one question, WHO AM I? Who you are as a woman defines your total personality and serves as a platform on which you stride through life. But it’s so unfortunate that many women do not know who they are. Leaving my family at such a young age was a big step, NYSC took me to Abuja where the highs and tides of life was in its full splendour; more like “living la vida loca”. I could have easily been swayed and bamboozled by the flashy lights, Porsche cars, high life, sumptuous offers that came with being a marketer in a bank etc. Why am I telling you this? As a lady, you should not allow your environment to influence you, instead carry your own atmosphere everywhere you go. Light up your world with the glow that shines from within; don’t be tossed around by superficial gestures, you should be able to discern the things that will add value to your life and things that would not. In spite of all I experienced during my stay, I never forgot who I was, I knew I had a worth that could only be treasured by one who knows my real value. What I saw on the streets of Abuja which has now become the norm for some ladies makes me ask another question – What value have you placed on yourself as a woman?

As much as we need that special care and attention, you don’t have to reduce yourself so low to get it. I once heard a man say that if only women knew their worth, 95% of the sin in the world will be averted and to some extent I think this is true. Ladies, you need to understand that you are a blessing to your world, you were made for glory, to be a source of comfort, a help-meet, a woman of valour, to be adored and cherished. When you forget this, you find yourself running after people and in turn becoming a shadow of yourself. You need to recognise the quality you were made of, there’s so much greatness deposited inside of you. Don’t let it waste, let the beauty inside radiate on the outside, live from the inside-out; let the true value show and only then will you value yourself.  Don’t throw yourself on a guy because he has promised you diamonds and pearls, don’t stalk him because he is rich and you think you can acquire goodies from him, NO – you can achieve so much with what you have inside and he’ll come running after you. Dress properly, be smart, think big, speak with courtesy, act with dignity, talk less, listen more, don’t lose your smile (it does some magic) and above all learn to walk with God. With Him you’ll discover your true identity and learn to value yourself cos you’re worth more than you think.

A WOMAN’S WORTH

(by Kimberly Renee' Rawls)

(Athens, AL, USA)

A woman’s worth is determined by

how much she values herself.

If her thoughts of herself are dwindling,

then the same will be true of her wealth.

I recognize that I am a treasure

bearing rubies, diamonds, and gold.

My treasure has not been found yet,

    and its whereabouts will remain untold.

 One day someone shall find me and

      a fortunate man he will be.

                                                           He will open the lock and finally release

                                                    all the beauty of his woman to be.

                                                                    With confidence I will shine like the diamonds

                                                 that once were hidden inside.

                                                            My wealth will be more than rubies,

                                                     for no price can be put on my life.

                                                     Like gold I’ll be tried in the fire,

                                                      and I’ll come out as pure as can be.

                                                    And that day shall be reminiscent

                                          as the era in my life,

                                                            when a treasure was found in me.
