‘Save me from the Model Wives with tomatoes for brains.’
2nd July 2012
Now I’ve got nothing (aside from the obvious) against models, but while my husband invariably gets to spend dinners making intelligent conversation, I’m forever getting stuck with the Model Wife. These women aren’t genetically stupid, but years of being prized for nothing but their looks have led to a certain amount of decay in the head department. Wit and intellect are like muscles which, left too long unused, wither and die. Nobody has ever asked the Model Wife what she thinks of Obamacare or contemporary art. These women think a Syrian intervention is a new cosmetic procedure. That’s a little unfair, you say – what about Model Husbands? Well, there aren’t many about, accomplished women being less inclined to marry brainless trophies.

Model wives are like professional athletes; they’ve never developed their intellectual powers because nobody ever wanted them for that reason.
Like most people, they focus on whatever about themselves returns the highest dividend. In their case, that ain’t broad understanding of politics, literature, economics, or history.
