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... maf (I can dream, can't I...)
