    My wife was a model. I'd pay her $20 to be quiet.

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
    a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    I just spoke to Bettie Page, it only cost $20.
    Yeah, but she's been dead since last year. No wonder you got a discount

    You are not alone, cobalt. But what part do you find most disturbing: the explotiation, exploitation, or exploitation? Or is it the implication that within a first-world country there are also a large number of third-world nations?

    I'm curious to know that if you bid on this item (the ability to chat on the phone with some one of minor celebrity status), and then won, how you would know that the person on the other end of the phone is truley Misty Dawn? How would you tell the difference between Misty Dawn and the ebay lister's Aunt Mabel?

    Now, if it was a hundred bucks and I got an hour to photograph her...

    Maybe it is really BrianShaw? He is the one who brought this to our attention.

    Ha ha... that's funny. I'm not smart enough to come up with a scheme like that. I'm transparent. My offer was $30 to talk to me... and there were no takers!

    Once... a long, long time ago I met a "telephone actress" who sold her "vocal services" though one of those 1-900 numbers. She was nothing like what her callers probably thought she was like... if you know what I mean.

    I think I'll pass. I had a phone date once, and I got an ear infection...
