I'm sure that a smart cookie can get her for free...<br />
Wait,  to sell the virginity online?  I thought prostitution is illegal...

I couldn't agree with you more. Without being judgemental but yet cynical, we all know what she is. Hey bully for her. It's the guy I wonder about. Is he an imbecile? I mean $7 million! Not a few virgins would sell for much, much less. I think of the possibility of fraud too. Virginity can be surgically "restored". Kinda weird. I'm thinking more & more it's a publicity stunt.

      <![CDATA[I thought of another point to add: if she could convince her sister to join her in this stunt (even though she's no longer a virgin), she could double - no, triple - the amount she's making. Two of the biggest male fantasies are defloration and sisters. Now, if their mom's cute....

      <![CDATA[A few points:<br />
 <br />
 - By any reasonable standards, this is an attractive woman. Big nose? I love big noses. (And hers isn't really all that big.) Big feet? Who the hell cares? I've never in my life known a straight man who cared about a woman's feet, unless it was an out-and-out fetish. I go by what I call the "blind date" rule. If I were set up on a blind date and this person showed up, would I be disappointed or relieved? If this big-nosed prostitute (no judgment, just stating the facts) showed up, I'd be very relieved.<br />
<br />
  - The writers who think she's "ugly inside" and are upset about this whole stunt being about "owning another person" need to get a grip. She seems like a very smart woman, and I honestly don't see why more women don't whore themselves, at least occasionally. I sure as hell would, if I were a halfway-attractive woman. How is this different from the upper-crust bride who holds out for a certain carat diamond ring? More power to you, Miss Dylan. This is what feminism is all about.<br />
<br />
  - To #39: you should definitely offer up your heterosexual virginity. I'm not sure you'd get millions, but I guarantee you you wouldn't have to work for a year or two afterwards. Let us know what you decide!

      <![CDATA[When I first saw a pic of her, it was a nice change to see something different than the same ol' pug-nosed American-looking girl. It's refreshing. We can't keep looking at the same face or body over and over again. It's boring! Only skinny blond girl with fake tits are "worth" 5 million?<br />
No.<br />
If anything, I'm glad she's pointing out that, at least.
