those women who adopt this lifestyle spend their days mainly in
“high society” doing the “in-things,” trying their best to fit in to that
way of life. The world of such women is one of pretence and putting
on airs; to this end she will go to holiday resorts, wear clothes consid-
ered “high fashion,” gossip at a spa or high-class beauty salon, meet
her friends for lunch in an expensive restaurant, or buy things im-
ported from abroad.
Although they appear to have brightly colored lives from the out-
side, their lives are in fact at least as monotonous and dull as those of
housewives. After sleeping until lunchtime every day, they then
glance at the magazine gossip pages and begin drawing up their pro-
gram for the day. Over the course of the day they prepare what to
wear to wherever they are invited to that evening, go to the hair-
dressers and then attend these parties, remaining there until the early
hours. The time they spend there is troubling and distressing, full of
false show, artificial laughter and people showing off to one another.
The following day, due to the tiredness and physical fatigue resulting
from this night life, they wake from an uneasy sleep with a raging
headache.
Preoccupations such as housework and looking after the children
play much less of a role in their daily lives compared to housewives.
They enjoy the irresponsibility of having handed such matters over to
their assistants. But the fact that they assume no responsibilities leads
to the development of an even more uncaring character. The fact that
everything they want in life is laid out on a platter for them, that their
children and homes are managed by others and the fact that they
themselves hope for nothing apart from being part of “high society”
soon leads them to dissatisfaction and a terrible emptiness.
