Jennifer Lynn and Penelope,

I suppose there is no difference between a model vs. a prostitute in the same way as…say, the wife vs. the mistress.

Fair enough?

This is for the what it's worth – Eliot Spitzer's new career is financial commentator for Slate. His first column can be found at http://www.slate.com/id/2205995/ . There's also an interesting post from Henry Blodget who currently works for Slate. Henry was a high-profile Internet stock analyst who was banished from Wall Street in 2001 by Eliot Spitzer, the then New York attorney general. Now Henry and Eliot both work for Slate. Henry Blodget's post is titled "A Very Warm Welcome To My New Slate Colleague" and can be found at http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/12/a-very-warm-welcome-to-my-new-slate-colleague . Too funny.

I've been following this post for a couple days. It's absolutely hilarious! The comments add as much humor as the article itself.

What I find so funny is people's failure to see the ironic comparison between our legitimate professions and the notoriously less legitimate. Jennifer Lynn, above, said it right when she wrote "This (fabulous!) post isn’t a defense of prostitution—it just goes to show that certain career truths transcend any particular…um…industry."

The comparisons between prostitution and modeling are also right on. That can extend further to the sports world, as well. Athletes get paid big money for the way they use their bodies. Team owners are their johns and reap millions themselves.

By the way, I do not condone prostitution in any way! But, we better look at the whole picture here before we climb onto our high horse.

I actually think this post is pretty tasteless. Seems like a desperate appeal for hits from all the people searching on her name.

I'm not a prude, and I have a sense of humor. I just think this is cheap.
