The WAG Trade: A Moment of Reflection
Posted Thursday, June 03, 2010 by Kickette.com

To be a WAG is to, by definition, exist as the extension of a man. The clue, obviously, is in the name. And though our feminist principles bristle at the very notion, we're torn. Kickettes, it's very difficult to maintain any principles at all in the face of such compensations.
Yup. It's true. We're fashion-whores.
You see, the tabloids (and popular opinion) would have us believe that a WAG has nothing about her apart from the ‘qualities’ that may have attracted her ‘baller boy in the first place. And while we cheerfully admit that here at Kickette HQ we’re more than happy to exploit this stereotype (they do rather walk into it, don’t they?) we're also aware that occasionally a rogue WAG breaks rank and does something worthy.
This kind of outrageous behaviour doesn't fit in with the idea of the tanned, shopping obsessed, peroxide-ridden creatures we've come to know and obsess about and thus rarely gets reported on. So we thought we might hand out a little love.
Brace yourself, Kickettes. We're going to try to be nice.
