I think she was hip to the whole thing.
Vanessa, I mean.
After all, if she is going to try and make it in theater,
she had better get rid of that goody-two-shoes image of miss america.
What better way to do it than pose with another woman in penthouse?
Could have been worse - what about Hustler?
Penthouse has a preppy appeal (as far as those rags go),
so it was a logical choice.
And, from a strictly madison avenue way of thinking,
pictures of her with another woman
is just not as ``dirty'' as seeing her with a man - 
i.e. she still didn't lose her ``virginity'' on some psychological level.
Also, for more straight weirdness, straights seem to get
less freaked out by lesbians than by gay men.
But then, I just keep wondering what the photos were for -
she said that she didn't expect them to be published.
Just makes me wonder...
