Not all it seems.... it seems....

A female American medical student who auctioned her virginity to the highest bidder officially closed the bidding at 8 pm on Wednesday night, May 7. Hiding the alias Elizabeth Raine, she posted in her Web site that the highest bid received was $801,000.

But in a twist which would surely surprise men hot for her body, Raine wrote on Thursday in her blog titled Musings of a Virgin we that "the terms of the auction will not be fulfilled." She said that she decided to "put a stop to the kerfuffle" and refocus on her medical training.

Raine explained, "I still do possess some spitefully strong beliefs about virginity, prostitution, and a woman's right to do as she damned pleases, but school is my first priority (as it has been for my entire life). At this point, I no longer care about the auction, at all. Thus was a very easy decision."

To bid, she required interested men to pay a non-refundable amount of $100 paid via PayPal. She would then inform the winner on May 7 to wire-transfer the amount he bid into a trust fund designated by Raine within 24 hours after their date.





So, everyone who bid had to pay $100 then she never slept with the winner....

Surely she won't get away with that con. Even if it was in $10k increments, she's made a killing.

So, fraud then. And soliciting for prostitution. Could be an interesting case when it goes to court. smile

As I said before a total scam and waiting for her now to have pissed off the wrong people, if she really did exist.

Sounds like an adult version of the old joke:

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said: "Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey died."

Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."

The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

Kenny said, "OK, then just unload the donkey."

The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"

Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off."

Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"

Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 a piece and made a profit of $998.00."

Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"

Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2 back."

Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron

Saw a lot of those in Florida:



My almost entirely frivolous purchase of the month:

As the existing one suddenly beeped, and set itself to the lowest temperature possible, before refusing to respond to entreaties and later violence to set itself higher. Pulled the batteries, put new ones in, did the same thing, so off to the hardware store it was.

Frivolous as, despite the marketing, it does nothing a $20 thermostat doesn't do. But it connects to the internet.

Considering it's peeing down outside and blowing a gale, probably frivolous. Still, at least I won't get crap blowing in my eyes.
