Quotes from the NYT Article:
"How else to describe the women who, Janis says, pay $750 for a 30-minute meeting to audition for her databank of women (6,800 of them, Janis claims) who want to marry a man rich enough to pay for her services?
Janis Spindel Serious Matchmaking Incorporated's fees begin -- begin! -- at $20,000 for an initiation fee, plus $1,000 for a one-year membership that includes 12 dates. "
OMG! Let's see, Janis has made....Ca-ching, Ca-ching....well let's just say Janis is the only one who should be ringing Happy Bells here.
does the article say that she's had ANY customers? Sheesh - only in NYC.....
Sad to say, kickycan seems to have more chemistry with littlek than I have. :wink:
I'm not around A2K all that much. :neutral:
Not only in NYC. You can find matchmaking services like that in most major cities in the world.
So now that you told all the guys you used to be a stripper, l'k, I anticipate the bidding to get, errrrrrrrrrrr, stiff.
I was talking to both of you.
They're everywhere, BorisKitten. It's a great moneymakin' business if you can develop any kind of a positive reputation.
Ha! Ms. <the closest thing to a dance club I've been in is a strip club> K.
Those poor poor boys.
I bid...ONE....MIIIIIIIIIIILLION....DOLLARS!!!!
Well, the third matchmaker in the article, and one whose matches worked, didn't charge, she just liked matchmaking, does relatively few of them.
<there's a reason I ALWAYS 5*****'d Slappy at Abuzz>

Zane, you missed the part where I blubbered about how good-looking you are. And here I thought that would just make your day....
Boriskitty, is that Kicky's cat?
Thought Kicky had a black cat, on a PINK comforter?
it's been a while since I saw the picture, they seem to be similar.... maybe I can go find it to refresh my memory.
you'd think a million dollar bid would get a bit more attention from someone who needs to get rid of a roommate
but no, it's about cats
here's kicky's big shiny one
Hmmm, I guess I thought Slappy was joking.
