I ran across this one in a queue of music that Google/YouTube curated for me. I must say, I have become a big fan of Inappropriate Jazz, which is advertised as “edgy angry woman singing.” I admit, I would not want to listen to the entire album in one sitting, but dispersed throughout my day, it’s a fucking pleasure. Heh…
So many people have told me what a lady should and shouldn’t do, over the years. I got tired of it, stopped listening entirely, and simply focused on being the best PERSON I could be. It wasn’t until my early 40s that the idea of being a lady came up again. I’m still not sold on it, but there are moments when I dress “as a lady” and behave myself with a modicum of politeness because it’s appropriate to the time. I suppose in those moments, I could be called a lady.
In any case, this song makes me smile.
On being a Lady:
From the Road House movie – Dalton: I want you to be nice until it’s time not to be nice.
via Gen Mad Dog Mattis – Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet. (see hat pins – jlr)
“Always carry a knife with you. Just in case there’s cheesecake, or you need to stab someone in the throat .”
(see first quote – jlr)
