Trophy Wife

Gingerblossoms and I had lunch that day. We were talking about the topic of Trophy Wife.

What is a Trophy Wife? Here are what we have concluded(different from the definitions from Jan09 Her World mag)

1) A wife who is well-groomed, pretty, slim, have flawlesss skin
2) A mother, preferably 2 kids
3) Altough she is a mother, she has no excuse to gain weight and lost her prepregnancy figure. She exercises regularly(esp yoga) to maintain her figure
4) Knows how to cook, bake pastries.As the saying goes, the way to gain a man's heart is through his stomach
5) Keep the house spick and span(she did it herself, not just gives commands to the maid)
6) She has to be a domestic godess , yet she must have a career, so that she can help shoulder the family finances
7) Although she has a career, she must always remember that family comes first.
8) Dedicated mother. Teach the children well manners, and make sure that children are well educated to enter into prestige schools
9) Supportive of husband's career

the list goes on...

Is there really a Trophy Wife out there? I have not come across someone who is really so capable to handle all...

While I secretly hope to become one someday, I realistically know I'm not now and am enjoying just being a normal wife ;)

I have read another magazine (cant remember which one) about trophy wife, it defines it as someone who makes the hubby looks good - intelligent, pretty, high social status etc. However, most trophy wives are just in love to their hubby's money and social status. Double income means they can afford more expensive house, car, holidays. They are not in love with each other. I'm not sure I ever want that. Normal is good :)
