Whatever happened to 'ladylike'?

What about some young women who seem to insist on posing for a picture with their mouths wide open and often with their tongues sticking out for good measure?
What’s that all about ?
Awful.

'Ladylike' is increasingly used as an expression of derision, sadly.

Who actually aspires to be 'ladylike' in the 21st century?
Not me!

Funny you should say that. In town recently when whole 6th form were literally swarming through the town, thousands, ignoring the traffic. Couldn't help but notice the short shorts but one girl had a skirt so short she was exposing her rear end. Definitely not lady like!

I hadn't noticed those pictures. I must read different publications.

Every time I open a newspaper or magazine, there are pictures of models or 'celebrities' sitting with their legs wide open.
It reminds me of the old Ken Dodd joke about the old lady in her directoire knickers sitting like that at the wedding reception - 'for goodness sake tell grandma to close her legs'.
Or is it just me?
