Around my community we have a whole class of women who are Trophy Wives. They have loads of diamond jewelry ("tennis bracelets" have lots of diamonds) because jewelry counts as a gift and is not community property. This is important when the old husband trades her in for a new model. It's sad that these women have so little sense of their own value and power that they don't see a future of self-empowerment, at least while they are young and cute.
AMEN.

What fresh hell is this? Oh, wait, you're right, Jill - it's not fresh hell. It's the same old hell, re-packaged to seem new.
Excellent! Thank you for this.
