A bit overpriced considering we are in a recession?


So, I was doing some random surfing on the internet and come across an article from a few months ago. How I am just hearing about this now is beyond me? I don’t know if you are familiar with a girl named Natalie Dylan? She is a 22 year old college student. Like most people she naturally has student loans. College is mighty expensive these days… even at Sacramento State College. Some kids like to get jobs to help cover expenses. Usually it is along the lines of a Dunkin' Donuts counter person. Some might say this young lady is thinking outside the box… or is she? She has never had sex before and is offering up her virginity for a large some of money, EBay style!! This is quite creative and almost equally as disturbing.

This girl is clearly one of a kind. I’m just not sure if that’s such a good thing here. I’ve seen pictures of her and she isn’t bad looking. She is definitely not my type. Apparently I am quite picky?!? She has a normal face and has what appears to be a nice curvy figure. I’m more into thinner and fit figured girls, so I defer to my co-workers and they all say they'd be interested. I think the average score in the office is roughly a “7” for frame of reference. You might be asking what such a girl could demand on the open market?? There are rumors that have the highest bids somewhere between $1 million and $3.8 million dollars! That is insanity if you ask me, but since no one is… let’s dig a little deeper. Let’s think about what else $3.8 million can buy you these days. It can get you three Bugatti Veyrons (listed at $1,192,057). This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. It can also buy you a 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom, 8500 sq ft penthouse in downtown Boston. For point of reference I live in a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 500 sq ft apartment in the Boston’s Back Bay. I’m not sure what someone would even need 8 bathrooms for, but I have some ideas of my own (for another time). You could even buy front row, courtside season tickets for the Lakers for you and 35 of your closest friends. You would still have money for parking and beer too!

Now that we understand the scope of the money being talked about, you have to question whether this is even legal. Not that I have experience with hookers, but this sounds a lot like prostitution! A girl selling sex with her for money… hmmmm? Upon further investigation I discovered that she approached Dennis Hof, the owner of the world famous brothel “The Bunny Ranch” in Nevada. Apparently there is no basis for the federal government to stop the so-called auction. It's a First Amendment issue. You can advertise goods or services that are illegal where they're advertised but legal where they're performed. She has agreed to give the owner of the “Bunny Ranch” half of the total money from the winning bidder. Talk about a winning lottery ticket falling into your lap, lol.

Assuming she finds her chosen guy to do the deed… let’s look at the economics of the actual act. She is a virgin, which inherently comes with certain circumstances that are unavoidable. I don’t think you need me to get all “Anatomy” on you with in depth details, so we will assume you are familiar with the process. Given that information I think we can safely assume it will not exactly be a super lengthy session, especially when you consider who the likely winner is. I mean, chances are this guy is atleast 40 years old... if not in his 50s. A guy with too much money to know what to do with that has the personality of a wall. Who else would bid on such a thing... a first rate D-bag! Based on my knowledge of people like this we are safe in assuming he is no ladies man and his performance is going to be brief and pretty suspect at best!!! If this was the Olympics we would probably label this event as the 200 meter dash… I would have chosen 100m, but for this kind of money I think this guy is going to go great lengths to get his money’s worth (no pun intended) even if he isn't equipped with the tools to make it a marathon!! If we use $3.8 million as our benchmark and estimate the actual act lasting 15 minutes (which is generous), this guy is going to be spending over $250,000 per minute… or $4000 per second... or roughly $6000 per hip thrust ; ) Talk about a Stimulus Package!!

I think the whole thing is just pretty creepy. I think she can be commended for being creative, but at what cost? She is just ridiculous... and not in the good way! As for the guy that will eventually win this “auction”, you are equally as creepy. Assuming you know that and are comfortable with it, might I make a suggestion… you should video tape the experience, copyright it, and sell the DVD on the open market. Given how sad society can be at times, you stand a pretty good chance of recouping all the money you spent on sleeping with this girl in DVD sales… heck, you might even turn a profit!
