Job titles of women
In my days i would be considered working as a servant for my men, and do what they wanted. It was tedious but it was a duty i must complete. Another job i very much enjoyed was the duty of tutoring younger children that were presented in the lower class. The one Job i didnt enjoy was working in the factories. It was always hot and gross in there and the men seemed to look down on me.
Apparel of the victorian women
From 1850 to 1866 the dress bodice remained very close fitting, the shoulder a little less sloping, the waist pointed, although some early-1850 bodices had a basque giving a jacket effect, and might even be in jacket form, opening over a chemisette. During the late 1850s the 'princess' dress, cut without a waist seam, appeared, and in the 1860s the round waist was slightly raised. Any seaming and decoration still emphasized the small waist.Blouses were often worn under a zouave jacket, based on the costume of the Algerian zouave troops in the Italian wars of 1859. Made of silk, velvet or cloth, it reachedjust to or slightly above the waist, the fronts rounded off and fastened at the neck only; it was< one of many bolero-type jackets worn between 1860 and the 1900s.

Proper english lady vs. Middle class women
Values of a proper English:
unlike the middle class women, proper English women are exempt from being noisy, assertive and boring. We are expected to appear quiet and shy. We shall not give orders to other peoples servants or employees. Never shall we ask for the smallest amount of money. We shall not gossip or question those about private matters. To obey the rules of society, and to never neglect social affairs, this is the morals of a proper English woman.
Values of a middle class women:
Being classified as a middle class women is not a bad thing. Yes, we are not put on a pedistool and worshiped, but i believe in my heart that we are more happy than the proper english women. We are not afraid to work in the fields with our husbands, family is meant more to the heart than riches and fame. We have a greater respect for the love of someone than the objects and physical values of a high class being.

True life
Today was a day of relaxing, though i thought...It turned into a day of hectic annoyance between me and who i thought was a loyal friend. Sometimes you dont really know who to trust anymore. Its a good thing im a queen because if it wasnt for being loyatly i wouldnt be able to make any friends. But bein queen has its downfalls. people will take advantage of you and become friends with you for the wrong reasons. The only thing i can do is trust myself in order to trust others.

surprise :]
This is one of my favorite rooms in the mansion. One reason is because its full of wonderful memories. Also its so peaceful, its nice to get away sometimes and just go read a nice novel and escape from all the stress. One memeory in here was my first kiss. My "king" was very suprising with the whole situation. One thing i love about him is the fact that he always surprises me with some of the most adorable, loveable, unforgetable memories i would never forget. I can truly say i love him.
