Kristen AKA Ashley Alexandra Dupre AKA Ashley Youmans


So undoubtedly you've heard of the news involving now-former Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer. He was "Client 9" at the ritzy Emperor's Club and enjoyed the services of a 22 year old escort who went by the name Kristen.

This is obviously a shattering blow to Spitzer's career and his family. While I doubt he'll face any real penalties because of his celebrity status (jail time) he's been shamed in front of millions of people and worse yet, he's lost the trust of his wife, children, and family members.

But on the other hand, this presents a huge opportunity for Ms. Dupre. Of course she probably feels some shame for being exposed as a prostitute and has to deal with the shock of sudden notoriety, but as someone who aspired to be a musician this opens a golden window.

Her myspace page had over 5 million hits when I looked at it this morning. (The page has since been removed.) By now it's probably over 6 million. She had a song of hers on the site as well. I didn't really pay much attention to it as it sounds pretty generic - dance, pop, in the mold of Brittany Spears. I doubt she'll find much success in the music industry with such a copycat sound however I think she should refocus her career on what she's already famous for - having sex for money.

Can you imagine the demand she'd have if she were to pose for Playboy or any other raunchy magazine? There wouldn't be a single man (or woman) who wouldn't be interested in seeing what all the fuss is about over this girl. What kind of woman could tempt a man in such a powerful position like Spitzer?

She's already shown she has no problem with having sex for money and now that she's been exposed to the public, why not take advantage of the publicity? I say do it - become a porn star. Your fame may be short-lived, but this is a great financial opportunity that's been spawned from an ugly scandal.
