I really don't think I've ever been a diva...do you feel the same? Attention makes me
nervous and to be be honest I always felt like a little bit of a fake in front of the
camera. Now writing....totally confident. But a diva...not so much.
Divas are kind of like witches...they are good divas and bad divas. I suspect we've all
been exposed to both. The original divas are on the stage opera singers. You know
those larger than life ladies with the big hair and even bigger bosoms. But at least you
know who they are and they are easy to identify. It doesn't work that way in real life.
I have always been a little shocked that some of the mousy looking gals are the
biggest divas ever.
A bad diva is the one who is needy, always has to be the center of attention and are
for the most part high maintenance, demanding and so self involved it makes your head spin.
A good diva may adore the limelight...but they are also willing to stand up for their
friends and ,well, lets face it they bring a lot of dazzle to any event.
All divas have a sense of entitlement and they know when they demand a better table,
ask for a raise or tell their partner exactly what they want for their birthday ....they
deserve it. Their attitude comes from their knowledge that they're worth it. Which is not
a bad concept ladies.
A furniture designer band (who shall remain nameless) told me she only sold a few pieces
when she charged $300 for her work. But lo-and-behold when she jacked them up to
over a thousand...they sold like hotcakes. There's truth to how we value ourselves.
So while I'm not advocating turning into a stark raging bitch....we might want to
think a little more of ourselves. After all we know what we're worth...and it doesn't hurt
to remind others just exactly what that means.
