"Plain" Housewives As Opposed to "Sugar-Coated"?

Is there really such a term as “plain housewife”?  Or is it only being used by Filipinos?

I don’t know where that term came from but whoever coined it did not know what he was talking about.  A housewife is everything except plain.  A blogger once wrote that the term “housewife” is synonymous to “survivor”, “warrior,” or even “magician." Well, that's more like it =)

Happy Mother’s Day in advance to all career and “sugar-coated” moms!
