When you marry a rich man whose income affords you the opportunity to quit your job, it’s important to have a skill-set to fall back on in the event it turns out he’s running a Ponzi scheme. Luckily, Diane Passage, who was told by an SEC lawyer today that regulators will “oppose any attempt to unfreeze [her husband Kenneth] Starr’s crooked assets to cover living expenses for her and her 12-year-old son Jordan” has got some extremely monetizable skills as a former stripper.
The former Scores dancer — who came to court in black patent leather high heels, a black dress and a pink Vivienne Westwood cardigan — declined to comment, but her lawyer said she “is going to do what she has to do to support herself and her son.”
Who will step up to the plate and give this lady a job?
Kenneth Starr’s wife may have to start stripping again [NYP via DI]

I have a job for her, when is she available to interview?

what happened with kouwe?
As the saying goes, “Asses to asses, bust to bust.”
That’s what I want to be! TOAS!
Bess is an amazing multitasker. Posting up new posts while simultaneously cat’o nine tailing Kouwe. Bess for Governor of NY, only she can fix this mess.
I guess a job at Citi is off the table….
Citi isn’t so bad I hear. Some left Bridgewater for Citi. Makes you wonder …
@5 – Why does Kouwe get to have all the fun?
I’d hit it.
I think I saw her on eros.com earlier.
She can be in the new American Apparel ads.
I think she should be complimented for her work.

I think my guys can learn something from her.

BL: I’m going to get right to the point. It has come to my attention that you emailed some commenter and threatened him with identity exposure. Is that correct?
ZK: Who said that?
BL: He did.
ZK: Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you I gotta plead ingnorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices and I tell you other bloggers do that all the time.
BL: You’re fired.
ZK: Well you didn’t have to say it like that.
BL: I want you out of here by the end of the day.
ZK: What about the whole Christmas spirit thing? Any flexibility there?
Who’s up for the open editor position at Dealbreaker?
@15 – Kouwe’s NOT an editor. He’s a “contributor”.
I could’ve sworn I saw her at the 5:00pm lineup yesterday on Murray Street…. vroommm. vrooooooommmmmmm
@15 I nominate Maureen Tkacik. And/Or Jessica Pressler.

@3: bravo. “Strip and ye shall receive.”
@15: right, can’t SOMEONE step up to the plate and give Bess a break?
@15…me, duh
-Greg M
@19 Break her off a piece?
I’ve got a job for her.
Something tells me Zachery is now going to be posting using the pseudonym “Anonymous”
He never replys. Does he?
In my experience you can’t ever trust guys with your money who wear gold chains or fraternize with strippers. If they don’t realize that a stripper/customer relationship is different from a husband/wife relationship then neither are they likely to mark the difference between your money and theirs. Just sayin’. http://daysoflivingaimlessly.blogspot.com/2010/02/day-26-long-and-short-of-it.html
@12 +1 for the obscure Enron reference.
Yo, Bess, can I apply for Kouwe’s uh what was it again uh “contributor” position? I mean, is that actually a position or what? Has it been eliminated? I’ll be kind to all the comment folk. Wouldn’t want to upset any comment people. Those people are gold.
