All the English that I seem to encounter at home is "bills, bills, bills." I envy these certain women whose lives are nothing but a blur of rich men, designer clothes and glamorous resorts. Where they don't actually work for a living, yet possess a dazzling sexual power they exploit to their full advantage ... Which presents a certain conundrum : Where exactly lies the line between professional girlfriend and just plain "professional"?
Women do have the right to use every means at their disposal to achieve power. Some may argue it's short of sleeping their way to the top, but what if that's not what it takes to compete? If it is a matter of actually sleeping your way to the top, some women may speak of it to be the exploitation of men, which under their own belief "is perfectly legal". But I believe this advocates a double standard - Women can use their sexuality to get ahead whenever possible, but men shouldn't be allowed to take advantage of it? I'm only trying to say in the event of exploitation, that men and women are equal-opportunity exploiters.
So, where is the said line between professional girlfriend and just plain "professional"? The same line that is drawn by the social normality. Put a label on it and everything is suddenly much more justifiable (She's his girlfriend, so it's okay ; She's not even his girlfriend! What a gold-digging tramp). But there is an upside to these labels. Just like an extravagantly fabulous pair of Manolo Blahnik pumps, you can put them on and take them off at your leisure - Unless of course you are a certain miss Coco Chanel. Then you surely want them on because it's an extra three grand in your case. But that's the beauty of your own brand - Attach, detach. Whichever suits you the best.
