This young lady is more than likely going to be perfectly happy to milk the media attention and her 15 minutes of fame for as much as she possibly can. We're not exactly talking about someone who got involved in the sex trade involuntarily, after all.

Contrary to the newspiece I posted, the media has been pretty nasty towards her.
And she was quoted in a Times piece as stating:
I just don't want to be thought of as a monster
Nice to know the "balanced" media opinion hasn't been displayed. As usual.

Sorry, but this comes across as quite callous. She obviously made a choice that was deemed quite poor to the general public. She did what she thought was needed to be done in order to sustain the life she always wanted. Obviously there are better avenues to get to that destination, but until more is known about her (which I really don't care for), who's to say.
But to have folks take a moral high ground when they themselves need self examining is laughable at best. And we ALL need self examining.
Wasn't it the same Spitzer that was applauded months ago for being so goodie, goodie?
When people understand that a title placed on a person doesn't make them any less susceptible to errors than "aveage joes", society will be better off.

I wouldn't count on her music career taking off, though: "What We Want" is especially crap. |
She definitely has a full life. But in terms of the bad media exposure and the perception that she brought down a Governer (which is hilarious by the way. Spitzer brought himself down. He is solely to blame.), she has a long, long road ahead. I overstated by saying "over", but she has a lot of work to do now and the media is doing her no favours by playing out this angle like she is responsible for the Governor's charges and resignation.
Yeah, I think we can rule out a life as a call girl in the US. Considering its illegal and I'm willing to guess that she doesn't want any more negative media exposure on her if she were to go back to that life.
Bottom line is Spitzer is a douche and I hold him in the highest disregard, because he not only cheated on his wife, but his children and family.
I want to give a special mention to Bruno is it? Spitzer's bitter political opponent. He's been doing the media circuit playing the moral card like he's the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ himself. I really wish the media would stop coverage of this. There is more pressing news that needs coverage.
Spitzer's been exposed, he's resigned. Mission accomplished. Allow his wife and children the privacy that they deserve.
