I'm way more scandalized that Cinnabun's gone missing again, according to TMZ, or by Jon Benet's three-year-old Suri Cruise's gold highheels, earrings, and lipstick than I am by grown men who call themselves Jesse James or Tiger cheating on their trophy wives. It's sort of democratizing to think that Tiger is a skank ho like all the rest of us. But three-year-olds? Nunh unh.

I am kind of mortified by the story on couples fighting on Facebook, given the intimate details I've posted here. Sliced and rigidly diced, to be sure, and only about my enemies. Uh, and, er, my late mother.

On the one hand: given the disproportionate access men have to money and power, I think it's at least shortsighted to think that a poor and obscure female lover wouldn't be (on levels other than money and power) completely within the realm of one of these dudes.

On the other hand: if these guys have all the power and money in the world and it's no problem to get the most beautiful woman in the world, perhaps some of them think it's more interesting to get Somebody Regular.

On the other hand: maybe they're total assholes who want to be with someone they can easily manipulate.

On the other hand: maybe the most beautiful woman in the world with the best body is really fucking boring or bad in bed

On the other hand: I guess my broad point is, I think "within one's realm" is a very complicated idea that does not preclude a rich man being genuinely happy with a cocktail waitress, because the terms "rich man," "genuinely happy" and "cocktail waitress" all contain entire universes of possibility.

i hear you on the regular person thing. why do all these "regular" people come in servant or slut or semi skeezy show business form? how about a nice real estate agent or a GAP salesgirl or a forklift operator?

I can't help thinking that more often than not the skeeviness-level of the so-called regular people probably matches very closely the skeeviness-level of their powerful lovers. Only the regular people don't have staff to keep their skeeviness further off the radar.
