Cassandra: The really annoying thing about Eliot Spitzer

It was alleged he spent $80,000 over a 10-year period on hookers. But the morality of public servants and the hypocrisy of high office, the fact that he wanted “unsafe” sex - this wasn’t what people were talking about. Most of the focus was on “Kristen”, the prostitute he met at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC and booked for $1,000 an hour. She was described as, “American, petite, very pretty, brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds”.

My female friends in New York were outraged. “105 pounds? No way.”

This was the biggest grievance. Not that she was a hooker. Or even that she was from New Jersey. The fact that somewhere along the line she had claimed to weigh 105 lbs and now it was being printed as fact. “Come on!” My friend Heather fumed. “No one weighs that unless they’re 12.”

Men like a thin woman. So women lie about how much they weigh. What else is new?

A 5’5” woman weighing 102 lbs is a size 2 or even a 4, depending on bone structure. Not so hard to believe.

[fishergirl]

Well, I don’t know - I’m 5’2” and weigh 100. Right now my size 0’s are almost falling off. Sometimes it’s a pain to try to find clothes that fit. I’m thinking of washing the 0’s in hot water to shrink ‘em.

[twigs]

Not hard to believe at all. I weighed 105 lbs in college and wore a size 5. I’m 5’4”. I’m small boned, but not tiny. After college, I dropped down to 96 and still wasn’t tiny. I’d love to see those days now, some 30 years later.

[babble-on]

and for some reason, they called you “twigs”

[Tired of Taxes]

Agreed. A 22yo high-price prostitute weighing 105 at 5’5” is very believable.

At 5’2”, I could eat all types of fattening foods and not gain a pound. I weighed 107, even at age 40 after having babies. Boy, would I like to see those days again! LOL

[goldstategop]

I could pass for a male model. I'm 5'7" and this side of 150. I have a few pounds on since in middle age, its hard to keep off the weights. I watch what I eat now and I look and feel nearly as good as I do when I was 20. Yes, I'm a guy. I just look amazing these days and I could pass for a 35 year old on the street.

[M203M4]

My wife, 5'4" weighed 100 lbs until a few years ago when she took up weight lifting (to look less iike this woman and more like Jamie Eason).

[definitelynotaliberal]

I’m 5’6” and weigh 112. Eliot’s hooker is just one inch shorter than I am. I’m hard pressed to believe she’s 105. I think 110 is more likely.

Your size 0s are falling off because what used to be a size 4 some years ago is now masquerading as a size 0. It’s called ‘vanity sizing’. I had long had the sensation that size 0s were fitting more like size 6. Then the NYT had an article on it. Have you not had the experience of standing at the 0-2 racks at Banana Republic with a woman much larger than you browsing through the same stuff? That’s vanity.

Don’t wash in hot water. Try to shop at Club Monaco (a Ralph Lauren co.) for work clothes and Wet Seal for casual things. That’s what I do. Please feel free to share your tips.

[enraged]

I have a hard time believing that you, as a man, think this way. Comparing yourself to a male model, come on, get over yourself.

[UCANSEE2]

According to the comments posted so far, the author of the article was %100 correct.

[bill1952]

My wife competes in the 105 lb class in international powerlifting and has been in 3 world championships.

She is 5 foot nothing.

[Revolting cat!]

Me like big women!

Ah well, who cares that much about yet another whore and her price anyway? 8^)

[HIDEK6]

Right now my size 0’s are almost falling off.

I know what you mean. I'm having the same problem with my 46 portly.

[ventanax5]

“In one of the pieces I read it mentioned that Kristen, known as Ashley Alexandra Dupre, had a MySpace page. On it she stated, “I love who I am.”

I don’t think I’ve ever said that in my life. And I’ve been in therapy for years. How did it happen that someone who sells herself for sex has higher self-esteem than I do? Where did I go wrong? “

[Tired of Taxes]

Good for you! My problem is I always had it easy: I never had to diet or exercise. Now I have no choice but to start.

[Tired of Taxes]

LOL (Funniest line so far today.)

[GinaLolaB]

This article is right on. That skank Ashley must weigh at least 135 lbs. She did a good service to society by taking Spitzer down. We should encourage this whore to go after all of the other lousy politicians that are ruining the USA ans send them to an early retirement (in prison).

[SkyPilot]

LOL!

[goldstategop]

I don't say I look like one. I'm thin enough to be one. I'm not the big and heavy side.

[goldstategop]

We all have to start when we get older. Our bodies get rid of fat less efficiently at 48 than when we were 22.

[twigs]

I called myself twigs on this forum because of my hobby, genealogy. Nothing to to with size, I’m afraid. If I were to tell anyone today that I had been a size 5 and 105 pounds, they would think I lie more than a democrat running for office. Sigh.

[AmusedBystander]

I don't say I look like one. I'm thin enough to be one. I'm not the big and heavy side.

Personally, I'm quite handsome for an ugly man and quite thin for a fat guy.

[frithguild]

She did a good service to society by taking Spitzer down.

And we have paid her well. $200,000 for downloads of her songs, $1 mln to pose for Hustler, Penthouse website, paid webcams, etc., etc. ... She is set for life.

What exactly are you trying to say, EB?

[babble-on]

lol! well, I think you look mahvelous!

[SlapHappyPappy]

I’ve dated several women at or near this size.

Sounds like someone is jealous.

[SlapHappyPappy]

Mark my words. She’ll be broke within 2 years.

[LottieDah]

She will be broke. All the money will instantly turn into the cocaine she will be snorting.

[twigs]

I’m glad we’re on a forum! LOL!!

[Texan5]

At 5’5” with a small build, she could certainly weigh 105. My daughter takes after her dad, who is of German ancestry-she is 5’4”, large boned and weighs 143-she is not at all overweight-while I’m 5’9” and 115 lbs, I’m small boned and of mostly hispanic ancestry. It is all in the genes when it comes to bone structure.

[UCANSEE2]

“Ah well, who cares that much about yet another whore and her price anyway? 8^)”

Or how much she weighs. Unless they were paying by the pound.

: )

[bill1952]

>Unless they were paying by the pound.

LOL! i’ll have to remember that one
