    i tell you what, i've always thought it would be ace to be the wife of a corrupt politician.

    wear nice dresses, go to cocktail parties, have diplomats round for dinner, keep a beautiful modernist house (i always fantasised it would be that frank lloyd wright house out of north by northwest), keep up on current events and the arts, do a bit of philanthropy, have doors opened for you, that kind of thing.

    my mother (serious bra-burning feminist of the steinem generation) claims that this fantasy is actually rather punk rock as it's just a way of rebelling against "the hippie establishment" under whose iron grip i was reared. she might not be wrong.
