Hollywood Wife vs. Starter Wife

I recently watched the mini-series, The Starter Wife, and loved it. I have yet to get through the actually television series, but am hoping it lives up to the mini-series. While watching this show, I was making a mental list of the pros and cons of being a Hollywood mogul's wife vs. a starter wife.

Hollywood Wife

• Pro - look great all the time
• Con - am always hungry & have to keep up with the latest fitness craze
• Pro - lots of "help" at your disposal: Yippee! No more dishes and vacuuming!
• Con - must cater to mogul husband's every need: Do I really want to memorize who all of his "friends" are a la The Devil Wears Prada
• Pro - Shopping: I can have all the David Yurman and Chanel my heart desires!
• Con - I'd actually be expected to get Botox and chemical facial peels. Scary!

Starter Wife

• Pro - I could eat all the cheese and chocolate I want
• Con - I'd end up looking like one of those moms who never lost their baby weight
• Pro - I'd have lots of time to "find myself"
• Con - I no longer have the luxury of being able to go insane. Only the incredibly wealthy can afford that - so not fair!
• Pro - I'd have a reason to start drinking at noon. Oh wait, Hollywood wives do that too.
• Con - I'd still start drinking at noon.
