If I may, I think we have either a cultural misconception here, or we have a troll playing games. I'll assume the former for the moment and just say that Ms D is a model & performer (akin to any mainstream actress) who works in the nude. It is a form of artistic expression covered by our 1st Amendment right of freedom of speech (which carries with it freedom of expression). Culturally, Americans tend not to pay their dates--the man may pay for dinner or a movie, the couple may "go Dutch" meaning each is responsible for her/his own expenses. Same-sex couples may decide beforehand which will pay for the dinner/movie.&c., or that they will go Dutch. If you're looking for an escort, may I suggest your yellow pages? Or if you are looking to pay for sex, may I suggest Nevada where legal brothels have been established l in every county, I believe, except Clark (Las Vegas) and Washoe (Reno-Sparks) where prostitution is still illegal. Just because a woman, in this case Ms D, chooses to work in a field where her body is bare and is unashamed of her physique does not mean that she is a prostitute or an escort, and may I refer you to another of Ms D's free video logs, this one from 1-25-09 addressed To Everyone with the title, "R-E-S-P-E-C-T". Now I'm not saying you, raman_bharti, intended to provoke, irritate or disrepect Ms D or anyone else here--I am hoping this was just a cultural misunderstanding. And, as WhyYou suggested, perhaps it would be better if you were to converse with the board more before asking anyone on a date, and again, as WhyYou has pointed out this is the Question Thread for Danielle, so my question is this: Did I overstep my bounds?
