Bronte is an expensive suburb to buy in to. A modest house will cost a million dollars. Nevertheless, there are lots of young families in the area - often well-paid professional couples. The women in these partnerships are often referred to, rather disparigingly, as "Yummy Mummies" - young, sexually attractive, hip, and stylish. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie and Kate Beckinsale are supposedly archetypal yummies. The opposite of a yummy mummy is a slummy mummy.
Whether they're yummy or not, there's certainly a lot of Mummys around Bronte, as this line of strollers attests.
(This is an older photo that has been in 'the vault' since a warmer time of the year; you may have noticed a bit of a fall-off in the blog lately - due to a very busy time at work, mostly, getting home exhausted and not having as much time to attend to bloggy matters! Apologies!)
Thanks for the vocabulary lesson.
ReplyDeleteA great illustration.
Good luck with your busy time.
Upscale mommies are a phenom in many communities. Pretty and fashionable ones . . .well, at least the babies are always cute! :-). The rest of the mums are as busy as you :-). Super photo, Sally,
