The Skinny Girls Cocktails website commands:
Ladies, it’s time. Time to bring the old rules of cocktailing into the modern age. Time to re-write the books on the way we socialize. Time to redefine just what it means to be a lady. Sure, a lady always says, “please” and “thank you,” but a lady also knows what she wants, and isn’t afraid to go out and get it. And Skinnygirl® Cocktails is here to show you how. It’s a woman’s world out there, and it’s time to Drink Like a Lady™.What exactly does it mean to "drink like a lady"? Does it mean that you sit cross-legged on a chaise, sipping your chardonnay? That your pinkie dangles delicately as you drink your daiquiri?
Does it mean you wisely moderate your alcohol use? (Now that's a cause I can get behind!)
Or, does it mean, as implied by the brand name, that you imbibe liberally but still look like Bethenny?
It's a tiring (and tiresome) dilemma for women. Enjoy your food, but watch your weight. Glisten, but don't you sweat. Be sexual, but not promiscuous.
If it really were a "woman's world," would you have to "drink like a lady" or could you simply drink?
