which is a platform where i teach women globally how to become the most elegant sophisticated and
poised women that they can be the name john f kennedy may not be strange to any of us
john fitzgerald kennedy 1917-1963 was popularly referred to as jfk and he was the 35th president
of the united states of america he first represented massachusetts as senator in the u.s
congress before his election to the presidency he served as america's president from 1961 until his
assassination towards the ending of his third year in office so ladies what does president jfk have
to do with us as women of elegance jackie as the first lady was fondly called was the epitome of
elegance class style and grace she loved reading and had a degree in french literature from george
washington university she was passionate about learning new languages so she was fluent in
english spanish french and italian so she was very very impressive jackie also had an avid interest
in horses and horse riding she took ballet lessons she had a thorough knowledge of current affairs
foreign affairs and world history jackie was also instrumental in the restoration of the white house
so she was an all-rounded individual she was very talented and she was incredibly intelligent
when it came to beauty and fashion jackie was an international icon she came across as feminine
and alluring and she was a trophy wife for the charismatic president
many described jackie as one of the most beautiful elegant and poised and intelligent first lady in
the history of america that was quite impressive everything seemed to be going perfectly for jackie
the only thing was that the president jfk was a womanizer he reportedly had several affairs with
other women during their marriage and so jackie had this dreadful habit of his to put up with
one of the president's extramarital affairs stood out above all others
the other woman this time around was determined to pull the rug off jackie's feet and didn't
leave anything to doubt her speculations in fact the lady in question went the extra mile
to calling jackie on the phone to inform her that she had every intention of stealing her husband
and would take over her place as the first lady of the united states of america brazen or watts
the intruder was none other than the world famous sexy seductive and sensational hollywood legend
marilyn monroe so just in case you haven't heard about her i'll tell you a little bit about the
iconic marilyn marilyn was a very attractive woman physically appealing and generously endowed with
a photogenic body she was a sex icon in all the ways possible and had also been portrayed in the
popular playboy magazine and at that time that was a big deal however marilyn unfortunately had been
described with words such as being mentally imbalanced emotionally unstable
full of scandal and unreliable attributes of course that predictably stemmed from her
troubled upbringing and family background marilyn monroe had been raised by a single mother who had
schizophrenia and never really believed in her daughter she eventually moved to a foster home
and was reported to have been brought up in 11 foster homes so you can see how
incredibly unstable that is tragically according to her she was sexually abused in almost all the
homes that she stayed at shortly after her 16th birthday her mother married her off marilyn had
a total of three marriages all of which ended in divorce the hollywood icon was a hopeless romantic
and always looking for attention she got to meet the president through a fellow actor who happened
to be the president's brother-in-law rumor has it that they had begun a sexual affair from them
even though the actress was reputedly emotionally unstable drank too much and she was into drugs she
wanted to be the president's wife she began nursing this ambition of displacing jackie
and becoming america's first lady so she was very ambitious
she confided in her friends that she had desire to marry jfk and would stop at nothing
in becoming america's number one woman now let's come back to the white house
at the president's 45th birthday party marilyn made quite an appearance dressed in a flesh-toned
skin-tight strapless gown but that wasn't as arbitrarily sultry as her rendition of the song
happy birthday mr president when she sung this her suggestive demeanor and her flirtatious
performance on stage left many speculating about the relationship with the president as naturally
would be the case what's more the president's reaction didn't help to quell the rumors he
was reported to have reacted to her performance with a mischievous grin and the statements i can
now retire from politics after having had happy birthday sung to me in such a sweet wholesome way
jackie kennedy at this time was staying with her children at the glenora estate in virginia and
she wasn't of course at the party at that night and jackie was furious when she heard about the
evening's events and naturally so adapted the incident where marilyn rang up the white house
and taunted jackie about stealing jfk from her and becoming the new first lady to which jackie
responded marilyn you'll marry jack that's great and you're moving to the white house and you will
assume all the responsibilities of the first lady and i will move out and you'll have all
the problems she prevailed with her philandering husband until he ended the relationship with
marilyn monroe so let's have a look at some of the attitudes or the traits that we observed in
jacqueline kennedy and see why elegance triumphs at the end of the day so number one jackie knew
her worth she knew that she was a woman of high value and could not just be seen rolling around
in the mud of just anybody she maintained her integrity and dignity through all this
harassment and the humiliation jackie knew that it would be belittling and demeaning to engage
with marilyn or any other woman for that matter in a tussle of power she would only be giving the
tabloids something to write about she maintained her core and held her head up without flinching
ladies that's a huge lesson for us we should not allow anybody to drag us into demand it's
so important to maintain class and dignity and poise when your patience has been challenged this
is not an easy thing to do so ladies develop this quality because it's such an incredible quality
to be able to have that grace under pressure it's not easy but ladies trust me it is worth it
number two jackie had self-control jackie never panicked or felt threatened by any woman
she appeared in full control of the situation in fact she told her sister
life's too short to worry about marilyn monroe her calmness and her core response
something that she obviously didn't expect made marilyn to drop the call and never call again
talk of a classy woman marilyn meant to throw her off balance with her call but the first lady was
too elegant to be frazzled by such frivolities number three she empathized with marilyn
so even though marilyn was their parents villain here the woman who was out to steal her husband
and to break her home jackie in the true spirit of an elegant woman felt a great deal of sympathy for
marilyn she understood that marilyn was a deeply troubled woman however she wasn't oblivious to
the situation this time around she warned jack this one is different jack have some pity on her
i want you to leave marilyn monroe alone so ladies i'm not here to tell you how to behave in the face
of infidelity if your husband has been unfaithful and everyone is different everyone handles these
horrible situations in different ways however there is a general consensus if you handle things
in a calm and a cool manner you do have clarity and you don't make rash decisions that you could
regret in the future so it's always good to be calm in the face of such situations
number four she knew when and how to put down her feeds so during this time period
it was quite normal for women to overlook their husband's infidelity at that time however jackie
knew when to bring the show of shame to an end she was equally firm in her approach to the mata
she probably must have weighed what the potential consequences the president's indiscretion would
have on her personal life political careers and the nation at large jackie reportedly told the
president that his dalliance with marilyn monroe would ultimately destroy their public image number
five jackie was a confident woman you see ladies it takes more than just beauty and poise to fit
into the office of the first lady of the united states of america she knew that marilyn for all
the beauty and talent as an actress she knew that she would not be able to handle the washington
dc politics she knew that the president was well aware of the fact that her wits her intelligence
and her knowledge of politics was contributory to the president's success he definitely wasn't going
to trade in his career for a woman's body ladies knowing your worth helps you to build confidence a
woman of high value knows that she can't easily be displaced by anyone number six jackie knew where
to take her fight to now ladies one mistake that women make which i really don't understand which
i find quite baffling is that in such a situation such as infidelity they will take to fighting the
other woman instead of engaging the man to sort things out from the roots in this case instead
of getting into fights with marilyn monroe for showing up at jfk's birthday party jackie traced
and found out that it was actually the president's younger brother who invited marilyn to the party
to fight effectively ladies you need to know whom or where you're taking the fights to do not just
act irrationally do the due diligence so you don't make a fool of yourself so you can see
the situation for what it is and then act accordingly number seven she tackled her husband's
infidelity with maturity prior to their marriage jackie was well aware of jfk's womanizing ways
she knew what she was getting herself into right from the very beginning
maybe because she came from a world where that was what men did and it was widely accepted
she personally wrote he's like my father in a way loves the chase and is board of the conquest and
once married he needs the proof that he's still attractive so he flirts with women she handled
the situation maturely she didn't entertain the public with the sordid details of jfk's
extramarital affairs she handles things elegantly like an elegant woman ladies i do hope you enjoyed
this analysis this video i hope it's helped you to be able to develop some of the qualities that
will help refine you and help people to become an elegant woman thank you so much for watching
