Yeah but we all know the branded American Express Cards aren't of the same status as real ones.

Don't believe me? Ask a Trophy wife.

Yeah...they should start printing the credit line available right on the cards..just so people know how much money they can borrow
I guess some of them would say unlimited? like those Black cards or whatever with the $1000s a year in fees for the status.

There's two ways you could look at it:
1) It's a shirt that says trophy and I'm wearing it because I know I'm hot/smart/confident/whatever so I gave myself this tongue-in-cheek shirt that says trophy on it.

2) I'm completely insecure and desperately seek validation from men so I've decided to label myself a trophy by wearing this shirt.

Flip the gender roles around, and you'll see how stupid it is. Pretty typical for jocks to get patches for their varsity jackets, especially if the team is actually good and makes it state. Literally, this is a trophy. Are the jocks objectifying themselves by putting a patch (a decorative object awarded for success, a trophy) on their jacket? Or are they more saying they're a badass?

It's called a letter and anyone who makes a varsity team gets one no matter the sport; hence the term "Letterman's jacket".

Fat, juicy butt cheeks?

Juicy, nubile vaginas?

Too bad it is usually the former who wears such clothing and 2 sizes too small. If they have to ask if they look fat they usually are.

What is a nominal age for the latter?

Women are always the biggest haters when it comes to other women.

Forgot to wipe?

I'm reminded of the great philosopher Steven Wright who said "A friend of mine has a trophy wife, but apparently it wasn't first place".

Much ado about nothing...

I did. I would ask any woman I saw with one why they were wearing that. The fad didn't last long. Target should have known better than to sell such thing. And women who think of themselves this way will get the life they deserve.
