Energy In Crisis: How Do WAGS Keep Enough Energy For Clubbing?

If there’s one thing that WAGS deserve credit for, it’s their energy levels.

Their energy requirements are enormous. Kick-starting their brain requires considerable energy. Then, whether they succeed or not, there are monumental decisions to make, which can be exhausting. What clothes to wear initially, planning the number of times they’ll have to change outfits that day – taking into consideration who else they might meet and what they will be wearing. Getting weather reports to ascertain what make-up to choose. Calculating appointment times. (Thank goodness for digital watches – those hands could be confusing.)

Then, before attacking the day, calmly sitting down and thinking about whom, in the wake of last night, you’re speaking to and who you aren’t – and who you’re likely to be speaking to, who won’t be speaking to someone else you may or may not be speaking to. Thinking is hard; you have to be sitting down.

Then the day begins and our heroin has to attend a football match or a practice, pose for the paparazzi, do a PR number on the coach and face the floozy who’s trying to tempt her man. Thereafter she has to synchronize her visit to the gym with whoever she needs to share a confidence with that day - or plot a coup - exercise, shower, redo make-up, avoid /or speak to the paparazzi.

Then the serious business of some pre-lunch shopping begins. Attend lunch, field the paparazzi. Lunch requires the utmost concentration. As much as a wrong or a misplaced word may leave someone off the hook! Anyway, that’s the time to catch up on the consequences of the night before and to regroup for the night to come.

After lunch, there’s serious shopping to be done. That not only requires the energy expended in getting to the WAGS’ workplace, but of trying on scores of outfits. And, of course, the endless decisions. They’re exhausting.

If you’re under the impression that the decisions involved are just a matter of what looks nice, you’re living in a fool’s paradise. Is your shopping mate telling you to choose that outfit because she thinks that it looks nice on you, because she wants to look better than you, or because she wants to buy the better one herself? Or does she know that someone else has the same one and you did something last night that you don’t remember? It’s not easy. It’s exhausting.

From the shopping there’s the late afternoon appointment, whether to entertain or to be entertained; after which, dress for dinner, a major feat in itself.

Then, at last, night time comes along and she has to go clubbing and test the results of her day’s labours.

And all that is just the routine stuff. Mischief is extra.

So how do WAGS keep enough energy for clubbing?

Energy management. Take the exhausting stuff out of the above schedule. Stop thinking. Trust your instincts. Dispense with reasoning. Demand, and throw a quick tantrum if your demands are not met. Avoid planning – take it as it comes. No problem.
