I had to Google it. Trixie is a word that was created in the 90's in the Chicago area to describe white women in their 20-30's, usually blond, who are money-hungry, ex sorority girls who went to college to find a man. Good news ladies, the men they catch have a stupid name too. They are called "Chads". Insert "hanging Chad" joke here.
An article I real about real estate brought this term up. As in, "There are a lot of Trixies in this business." This may be true but does this make them bad at their job? Let's not be so quick to judge. Some of my best friends are pretty blondes with different designer purses for each day of the week. They are smart and just as funny as me. Ok, maybe not as funny but they are smart.
Let's be honest, I want to be a Trixie but I'm in my 40's now so I have my Urban Dictionary open to see what I can call myself. Cougar's are in right now. I can be called one of those I guess.
In the end, it's only an insult if we let it bother us. I vacillate between embracing the terms and cringing at them. Hey, I'm a woman, I change my mind often and without good reason. So what?
What I do know is there are people who are good at what they do and people who are bad at what they do. Hopefully you are working with a REALTOR who is good at what they do whether they are a Trixie or a Chad. You can call me whatever you want, as long as you call me!
Seriously, my number is 802-922-7828.
