"smart and sexy" Ashley Dupre. I guess that the definition of smart changed when I wasn't looking.

Be afraid - be very afraid.

The NY Post is a complete rag. Who the heck is Ashley Dupre?

Elliote Spitzer's call girl. She's a prostitute (or former prostitute).

(but you likely googled her before I even posted this as her images are all over the web and at girlsgonewild)

Oh, okay, then. I retract my statement. She is, obviously, brilliant.

Unfortunately, we now have Example # 864 in the category of "Why We (MB) are Outnumbered". Heck, some of you vets may look at that say, "Hey, TB, we're actually WAY BEYOND 864!" I think we have three categories:

1. People whose lives are too boring and unfulfilling so they need garbage like her to add something "interesting" to their lives.

2. People who are uninterested in the private affairs of others. (Choice of words intended...) They are uninterested because they are generally indifferent, but more likely because it hits too close to home. I think WW wants to camp in this category. Too bad I know the real reason why. (Too close to home.)

3. People who will stay away from such vermin because the filth doesn't deserve the attention, the accolades, our interest and our precious time. Their reprehensible actions, along with ZERO CONTRITION, adds up to someone/something I will just avoid.

A modern day 'Hester Prynne'. Unfortunately, our society has morphed to the point where her actions -- and those of many, many others -- are not scorned, not shunned, but instead, accepted. Heck, even condoned. Maybe it's coming to the point society feels that WE -- the MB mindset folks -- are the ones who should be wearing the scarlet letters...

Well, I'm not Puritan, and I'm not into burning witches at the stake, but my moral compass still functions properly.

And I don't know about you, but THAT is what I am truly thankful for....

Thanks,
TB

Well now I know that Zelmo is not from the East coast. Around here, Client Number 9 was big news for a while - you couldn't escape it.

My daughter is 21, and at the time, she and I had discussions about what would motivate a girl from an upper middle class family in NJ to take up prostitution. It wasn't desperation; it was clearly a choice.

Call it "ho culture" - the formerly shameful becomes celebrated.

If it werent for fellow MBers...I wouldnt think there were any people with a moral compass anymore...its so depressing.

Zelmo lives in Minneapolis. I'm not sure how that is classified. My atlas is upstairs under the bed.
