“Be a girl with a mind, a woman with attitude and a lady with class”

“Be a girl with a mind, a woman with attitude and a lady with class” is a saying that has been printed on many images. “@coshanadya: Be a girl with a mind, a woman with an attitude and a lady with class” was posted on Twitter by ♔Fitri Ramdiani♔ on January 2, 2011. “RT @TheNotebook: Be a girl with a mind, a woman with attitude and a lady with class. - I totally love this! #amen”—without “an” attitude—was posted on Twitter by Phila Gwabeni on March 25, 2011.
 
Authorship is unknown. Baileys (an Irish whiskey and cream-based liqueur) has used the line in its advertising since October 2012. American actress and model Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) is sometimes credited, but she never said it.

Not Bad For Girls: The Sad Necessity Of The Baileys Women’s Prize For Fiction
Stephanie Boland , April 13th, 2014 06:38
(...) 
There are a lot of things about the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction that it’s easy to sneer at. The fact that it’s sponsored by a company whose past advertisements include close-up shots of women’s lips (glitter and gloss covered, no drink in sight, 2008), a pair of leerily suggestive glasses with bobbing ice-cube nipples (tagline: ‘The Milk of Ireland’, 2001) and, more recently, a blonde holding a glass over a cityscape balcony, captioned: ‘be a girl with a mind, a woman with attitude and a lady with class’.

I was recently reading a New York Times and saw an advertisement that said “Be a girl with a Mind, A Woman with Attitude and And A Lady with Class.”
 
14 March 2015, Washington (DC) Post, “For Hardee’s workers, it’s not a parable, it’s a job (Posted 2015-03-14 22:17:33): In the Iowa countryside where Sen. Ernst climbed her way up, the path out of Hardee’s isn’t clear for anyone” by Anne Hull, pg. ?:
Usually, Brandi wears long sleeves to comply with the Hardee’s No Tattoo rule but today, her Dream Catcher is flying. On the heavily inked pageantry of her arms is her credo: “Be a girl with a mind, a woman with attitude and a lady with class.”
