The best thing you're gonna read today -- other than this blog, natch! -- is this icky and amusing expose of the world of the sugar daddy by Mother Jones writer Nicole McClelland. (We looked for it on the Mother Jones website, btw, but it wasn't there.)
I learned about SugarDaddy.com when an acquaintance I'll call "Kim" recommended it to my friend, who's had trouble finding a job despite (or because of) earning her master's in media arts several months ago. Kim collected $900 every time she went on a date with one of her sugar daddies; another gave her $3,500 in less than a week before announcing that he had to quit her because his wife had found out. Kim's best friend "Jill" had two sugar daddies giving her a combined $8,000 a month until one got jealous of the other. Jill has blond hair, amazing lips, and is 19.
Not even the best part of the article. That would involve an old rich dude known only as "Do You Like Anal" -- no question mark, we're presuming, because he's paying to already know the answer.
