How to Define a Trixie.

I never actually realized how true this is until I looked up the definition on Wikipedia. Eh, I would not say all these things are true, but I have highlighted the key words which just make me laugh (especially given the blog that I wrote this morning professing my love of Kate Spade).

p.s. I live in Lincoln Park and work in Marketing (used to work in Advertising--so I must get extra credit).

A Trixie is a generally derogatory slang term referring to a young urban white woman, typically single and in her late 20s or early 30s. The term originated during the 1990s in Chicago, Illinois. The term was further popularized by a satirical website dedicated to the Lincoln Park Trixie Society, a fictional social club based in Chicago's upscale Lincoln Park neighborhood.
Trixies are typically depicted as "social climbing, marriage-minded, money-hungry young ladies that seem to flock to the upwardly-mobile neighborhood of Lincoln Park."[1] Another description calls them "the women with Kate Spade bags for every day of the week; the ex-sorority girls still lusting after big, dumb jocks; the women who go to law school to find husbands."[2]
As such, "Trixies" are not unique to Chicago but representative of a stereotyped subculture in contemporary America. According to National Geographic, this stereotype describes a "blond, late-twenties woman with a ponytail who works in PR or Marketing, drives a black Jetta, gets manicures and no-foam skim lattes."[3]
