She must spend soooo much time filming and editing those vids....she's not your everyday girl I must admit.

I recommend "So I hear you Youtube?", "Housekeeping#4 and Halloween" and "ID Photographs" if you haven't watched those already.

I received this e-mail from a friend this morning. It's quite long but the response to the initial post is hilarious.

=============================================

Subject: FW: Craig's list post -Wall Street Analysis of Gold Diggers.
The response to the inquiry is the best, so read the whole thing.



THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly
beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New
York.

I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a
year.

I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle
class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all. Are there
any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me
some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around200 - 250. But
that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't getme to central park
west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was marriedto an investment banker
and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am,nor is she a great
genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Here are my questions specifically:

- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars,
restaurants, gyms

-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my
feelings

-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?

-Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper eastside so
plain?
I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who
have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop
dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story
there?

- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer,
investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do
they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?

- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE
ONLY
Please hold your insults

- I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful
women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be
searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks,
culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and
hearth. *

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services orother commercial
interests

THE ANSWER
Dear Pers-431649184:
I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma.

I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting
your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than
$500K per year. That said here's how I see it. Your offer, from the
prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a cr@ppy business deal.
Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple
trade:

you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But
here's the rub, your looks will fade and mymoney will likely continue into
perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is
an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful! So, in
economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years,

but less so each year. Then the fade begins inearnest. By 35 stick a fork in you! So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a
buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business
sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In
case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out.

It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage.
Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I
wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful"as you
has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard tobelieve that if
you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout. By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.

With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way. Classic "pump and dump." I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know.
