Welcome Wagon To Amanda Tackett

Over at D Home. Amanda is one of my favorite peeps and writers in the whole world. I died laughing when I read her essay on remodeling and bug infestation in D Magazine last year. Then she read my blog about our “Heads” infestation… you want to talk Trophy Husband, mine was mere inches away from becoming an actual trophy himself! (They are back, the trophies, not the bugs, but we have since made plans to buy a second home just for them. Marty Cortland thinks it’s so great he bought his Nanny a home? Well, we bought a home for our Heads.) Amanda and I have become email buds and I devour anything she writes. So very, very happy to have her blogging!

    You are “hearted,” and if that man of yours gives you fits, we can send him Bambi killing with the Trophy Husband. (Note: double entendre…)

    OK, both of you…

    Watch it…this “hunting harassment” is bordering on “hate crime.”

    PLUS…as it turns out, you may also be offending many of the Trophy WIVES too…

    JY, I AM a Trophy Wife. Here’s the deal: I told my husband that I’d get all the plastic surgery to keep me young looking if he picked up the tab. My God a face-lift is about $15,000 — that’s the deposit on the divorce attorney’s Louis Vuitton briefcase. I actually am very good friends with several Trophy Wives (I’m married to a physician, what does that tell you?) and they are a lot of fun. But they also like to have babies before that biological clock rides into the sunset. So I’ve saved my husband the divorce attorney and at least $350,000 in future education/clothing/food/medical bills for another child….all for about $20K of plastic surgery, a second home for his heads (may be half a million but it’s an appreciating investment) and a few whopper Neimans bills. I’m telling you, move over Vikram Pandit, I should run Citigroup.
