Get the Vanity moment mug.A doctoral degree pursued solely for the status conferred by the title of "Dr." and the lifestyle perks associated with living in a desirable location, without any genuine interest in academic achievement or contributing to a field of study. The motivation for obtaining a "vanity PhD" is entirely based on the superficial benefits of holding a doctorate (social prestige and lifestyle) rather than the pursuit of knowledge or a passion for research.
"Did you hear that Catherine got into Columbia University for a PhD in biostatistics? I was surprised considering she wasn't particularly adept at statistics in her undergrad."
"I wouldn't shower her with too much praise, it's nothing but a vanity PhD – she just wants to be known as 'Dr. Caldwell' and explicitly said she didn't want to do her PhD at Penn because 'she couldn't imagine spending her twenties in Philadelphia.'"
"Oh wow, so she's not doing a PhD out of any regard for pursuing the higher truths of academia or for the love of learning. It's all just to fluff up her ego and drink and party in New York City. A vanity PhD if I've ever seen one!"

Get the Vanity PhD mug.Self-Love. A healthy high ego.
It gets mistaken for arrogance.
Bootleg Vanity - if you really like how you look, but you don’t take it seriously and it’s light-hearted. Then your friends know you’re bullshitting them they just do whatever, but they’re cool about it.
High-End Vanity - a healthy selfish. Putting yourself before others to do what's best for you.
Vanity - the mirror thing where you want to kiss yourself and you actually mean it.
It can fluctuate, change and/or evolve over time.

Get the all in vanity mug.A small, boutique-type store that sells chintzy trinkets and ugly jewelry that you couldn't imagine anyone wanting to buy. These stores are almost always run by middle-aged women with rich husbands who are in need of something to do, so the lack of sales don't force them to close down like other unsuccessful businesses.
"What's Trish up to lately?"
"Since the kids have gone back to school, she opened a little store that sells bedazzled sweaters for dogs and bows she makes by hot gluing dollar-store ribbon to hairclips."
"Sounds like a total vanity boutique."
"It is. She hasn't made a sale yet. But it gives her something to do since her husband is always gone on business trips."
