Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to my "Miss Manners Column" fashioned page!Eunice's laptop working on Elegant Woman
Actual laptop which I'm using right now to reply to everyone.

In true "Dear Miss Manners" or "Ask Miss Manners" style, I try to answer all these questions that you've emailed the best I can. I try to fashion a similar Miss Manners Column, though the thought of naming this page, "Dear Ms Eunice" is wholly intimidating!

I like to think I'm coming along side the journey together with you.

I receive emails from time to time and sometimes I get the same questions. If I think its quite an important point, I'll feature them here, whether or not you choose to reveal your full time.

Meanwhile, I'm over here at the other side of your screen, open to receiving your questions! Use the form at the end of the page.

Also on Facebook!

Sincerely,Eunice

Humour versus Elegance??

Question: Can an elegant woman be funny/witty?

Can an elegant woman be funny/witty? Does she diminish her elegance by being funny/witty in conversation? When you leave an elegant woman's company should you be feeling the same way you'd feel after watching a comedy?

Here are my thoughts and you may agree/disagree? It takes more courage not to be funny in a conversation because I think (and yes, I know I may be wrong) when you're funny, you are unwittingly saying to your companion "please like me". However, an elegant woman does not focus on whether she is liked or not does she?

What do you think?

She was referring to this article. Why men don't fancy funny women

My Answer: Well I think there are many types of "funny"...

Can A Woman Be Sexy And Elegant At The Same Time?

Hi Eunice,

I would like to first applaud you on your wonderful site informing the public on the lost art of being an elegant woman. I do have a question for you though. In your opinion, does an elegant woman aim to be “sexy” in public, or does she keep her sex appeal hidden only for the privacy of her own husband? Do you think that by a woman trying to appear sexy she totally destroys any respect a person might have for her?

-Alan
