Tuesday

The film was shot in December, when Victoria was a regular character of the web soap The Dadahouse. She had also just shot the Adam&Eve Lingerie Catalog. Adam&Eve produced the film. So one thing linking to an other, she ended in the film but I don't think she intends a X career (she's in a film with Linda Grey which has just been released)

On her very good website she shows more than in Playboy (i.e., she spreads her legs and shows her pussy) but less than a girl would show in Penthouse. In addition, on Ginger Hill's website, you can see Ginger use a dildo on Vic.

Considering Vic has a law degree (she has passed the bar in NY State), and is currently working on a psychology Ph.D., the only reason she does it is because she enjoys it (she wouldn't need to do that much to make money from internet and she doesn't advertise it!)."

An almost serious point, about golf of all things, in defense of Tiger and Duval. Let's be fair, here. Everyone got this Ryder Cup story wrong. Everyone. I didn't read one source that tried to accurately represent the players' point of view, so at least I can add some balance. There is no patriotism involved, and the story was willfully misreported throughout America, because sensationalism and jingoism sell papers and fill column space. I'm here to tell you that Tiger and Duval are right. Here's how the Ryder Cup looks to you, if you are Tiger. A whole bunch of corporate greedheads and reporters have a lot of fun in the beer tent and make a lot of money on this exhibition, although none of them have any talent or contribute anything. The reason they make all that money and have all that fun away from their wives is because you and a few other guys have talent that they can exploit. Furthermore, they've discovered the ultimate business. The only thing they have to sell is your talent, and they insist that you donate it for free. They have managed to come up with a business where the cost of sales on the product line is zero. The players create 100% of the value and get 0% of the pot. Pretty slick deal for the greedheads, eh? Then if the players ask for anything - even a token acknowledgement that the tournament is nothing without them, the greedheads manipulate the press into accusing the players of high treason, and/or writing editorials about spoiled brats making millions a year, knowing full well that the average Joe Fan can't relate to the complaints of a few "spoiled rich kids". Oh, these greedheads are good! In my day, I was a king greedhead, but I never came up with a scam as sweet as this one.

And then they get poor ol' Ben Crenshaw to lend his moral authority to a stance contrary to the players' best interest. Unfortunately, the justly respected Ben commented to the press without listening first to the players' reasoning. Tiger and Duval don't need the money. Don't you think they know that? What they want is the right to determine what happens to the money that they generate, and which does not exist without them. That is the same thing you and I want, except that their special talents generate much more money than ours. It's kind of a shame that hitting a tiny dimpled object pays about a zillion times more than educating our children, but that's just the way it is. It ain't their fault, Petunia.

For the record, the Ryder Cup used to be something of a patriotic event, in that it represented the US against Great Britain. Then, when the U.S. won about three or four hundred in a row (actually, I think it was 10 in a row, for a cumulative 19-3 lead), they decided to change all the rules, and make the United States play against all of Europe added together. This, of course, changed an obscure little rivalry thing into an international marketing event. The nationalism was gone from the event. The British cried "uncle", and the event became a pure exhibition.

I think Tiger and Duval should say "sure, we will give up all pay and all control if everyone else is willing to do the same thing. The reporters accusing us of treason must work for free that week, and pay for their own tickets, and buy their own beer. The TV coverage must be donated for free. The course we play on must do all maintenance and give up all normal revenues during that period, and get nothing in return. And the corporate greedheads will pay their advertising fees, but their commercials will not actually air. The show will be broadcast commercial-free, because it's a patriotic event, and everybody should donate their time and money for the good of their country." I think that would shut up everyone pretty fast. If I were the head of the players' group, I would not settle for a little token concession. I would insist on 100% control of all revenues, since they provide 100% of all value. Either that, or boycott the event. If the players choose to give it all to charities, or reinvest it in golf, or keep it for themselves, let them do so and live or die with the public reaction to their decision, but it's really money generated by them, so let them make the call.
