About this list:

We sisters may have run screaming from the kitchen to the board room, but we all still have to eat and that bed isn't going to make itself. This is a list for those who refuse to sacrifice liberation or cleanliness. If you have to do it, do it with style.

Qualifications:

I vacuum with a sardonic smile and raised eyebrow. In heels.

Audrey Cupcakes Apron - Jessie Steele

The best way to work off those calories is to give him incentive to lift your skirt. Frost them well and he'll definitely eat your cupcakes. ;-)

The quickest way to betray your age is your hands darling. Protect them and the truth for as long as possible, wear gloves when cleaning and washing up.

And buy a dishwasher to keep this activity to a minimum.

Jessie Steele Aprons Bib Ava Brown & Pink Polka Dots

Description

He may not get this subtle ironic nod to the gender role bias he's enforcing by sitting his lazy ass on the couch while you tidy up, but you'll have the satisfaction of having mocked the cult of the patriarchy.

And hey, if you're gonna clean, be cute about.

Ostrich Feather Duster

First to recommend

Description

Ostrich feathers only seem decadent darling. They're actually still the best duster around, attracting dust instead of just swishing it about. And speaking of swishing attraction, this baby is big enough that it might just double for an impromptu fan dance that will remind his lazy ass that you are definitely NOT his momma or his maid.

Orange Headscarf

First to recommend

Description

"Cleaning is active work. Keep your look fresh and keep stray hairs from falling out of place by employing headscarf."

That is so what a 1950's housewife guide would instruct you to do right before telling you how long in advance you should your hero's martini for when he comes home.

I say wear the scarf while drinking the damn martini.

Suspender Belt

First to recommend

Description

A little something slinks to keep your confidence and your stockings high as you balance on that ladder to dust the top shelf.

Also, good for occasional flashing of the milkman or the Beaver.
