        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.
