Diary Of A Trophy Wife


Apparently, the December issue of Harper's Bazaar has more goodies than that epic cover story on R-Patz and K-Stew. One of our favorite rising stars, Amber Heard (remember Hidden Palms, Zombieland, Pineapple Express) teamed up with legendary Godfather actor George Hamilton for a comical satire. The shoot portrays a day in the life of Hamilton and his "trophy wife" Heard as they tan by the pool, hit the red carpet, lunch and more. In a piece "dictated to Harper's Bazaar contributor Rita Wilson by the trophy wife," we get a first-hand account of her day:
"I’m really tired. I’ve had a really busy day. See, I’m experimenting with a new pose. The whole hand-on-hip thing is getting a bit old (something I’ll never be—yay!). Anyway, it’s kind of exhausting standing in my Jimmy Choos in front of a mirror, studying myself. I pride myself on not having to exercise … yet."

"I am a rare and precious creature. That is what my baby tells me. So it doesn’t serve me to look just okay. I have to look hot. He isn’t with me because I can cook! The way my boo puts it is that he has an investment in me. The Botox, collagen, facials, waxings, mani/pedis, hair color, blowouts, spray tans—that’s the “art” I put on my “canvas.” And when it comes to clothes, why would you cover up the Mona Lisa with a Beefy-T? So my baby wants to drape me with the best that money can buy. I can’t help it if my pooky wants perfection."
The concept for the story is pretty hilarious and the photos do a great job poking fun at the stereotypes. Of course, there's no ignoring the fashion, expecially the Tory Burch leopard print dress Amber wear's "on the red carpet". So ferosh!
