ALBANY State Sen. Martin Golden wanted to hold a style camp for job-seeking women but wound up looking more out of fashion than a perm.
The Brooklyn Republican was forced Tuesday to pull the plug on the how-to-be-a-lady class which promised to teach posture, deportment and feminine presence after news of the planned July 24 event led to a swarm of criticism.
The seminar was intended to show women whats new in the 21st Century as it relates to business etiquette and social protocol, according to a taxpayer-funded promotional flyer.
Instruction was to include a primer on the art of shaking hands as well as insight on how to sit, stand and walk like a model, and how to negotiate stairs while still looking elegant.

To a place where:
Blacks knew their place
Women knew their place
The poor and the serfs knew their place
and there were no pesky regulations and laws about the environment, safety and anything else that got in the way of their god-given right to make money.
