Hot Hepburn Hint #13

If you didn't see it live, then you've probably watched it on YouTube. If you haven't watched it on YouTube, then you've probably heard about it on the news. And if you haven't heard about it on the news, you've probably caught wind that the whole debaucle has even sparked a response from our very own President. I am of course talking about the Taylor Swift / Kanye West / VMA mess.

Now, this ugly ordeal had the potential to turn into something even bigger and more dramatic, but thanks to a smart, poised, and gracious 19 year-old songstress, it didn't. When confronted with a rude and horrifying situation, she responded with style, class and grace. She responded like a true Hepburn!

Not only did the unfortunate incident provide an opportunity for Taylor to show her own true colors (which, by the way, are every bit as lovely as her long blonde locks), it provided a great example for Hepburns everywhere. Why? Because the true test of our character comes when we're confronted with un-Hepburn-like behavior. Those instances and our corresponding responses determine our future. How will we react when a jealous co-worker tries to get us fired? How will we respond to the manipulative girl that spreads lies about us? What will we do when confronted with a rude and insensitive stranger? Our reactions to these circumstances speaks volumes about our true character. So, this week's Hot Hepburn Hint is...

REACT WITH CLASS!

As inspiration, here's a picture of our lovely girl, Taylor. Rock on.
