    Expensive it may be, its less environmentally damaging than SUVs or 5,000 square foot McMansions.

      I guess the closest thing in the US is a "trophy wife".

        But we've also got hos/hoes. They're much cheaper.
        Lime roots and treachery!

              The first divorce is probably more expensive than the trophy wife.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  Not sure there's much status to be gained in letting it be known you patronize a prostitute, but you're welcome to find out!

                    With all the movies and songs about them, it seems obvious that they are high status.
