Black page for this is far and away a new low for LRC. It's not just sensationalism or meanness as management has shown an taste for so often in the past, but trashy.

Absolute trash.

I agree webby. I actually feel sorry for her. It's going to be hard for her to come back from this, and the ramifications for the husband and the child... She needs mercy, not vindictiveness. The black page w/pictures is utterly classless. This has become a tabloid website.

I'm not saying it is dignified, but I do believe you are projecting your own attitudes and beliefs about sex and universalizing them. Things are different for different people.[/quote]

Point taken. I have no way of knowing how other people really feel on the inside. However, my intuition tells me that people who treat sex as 'just sex', and therefore are okay with doing it with a lot of people that they don't really feel a connection with, are not actually fulfilled and made happy by this experience, nor are making other people fulfilled and happy. It may be pleasurable and a rush and a compulsion and even briefly calming, but I do not believe it gives them fulfillment and peace but instead only adds to their insecurity and loneliness.

Actually, no I have never had a "media crush". ... But "media crush"? I thought that only high school girls actually got crushes for celebrities.

Nope. I mean, I think teens are the most into such stuff, for sure. But many adults, of both sexes and all sexual orientations, have a celeb or two they get fired up about. In the last two years, I've heard different adult women (professional, have-their-crap-together women) go on about George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Apolo Ohno, and Enrique Iglesias. For the guys, it was Jessica Ennis, Scarlett Johanson, Miley Cyrus, and Enrique Iglesias. If celebs do nothing for you, cool, but there are many many people who feel otherwise, so be careful of equating how you feel with how most people feel.

Fair points. These types of things are amazingly individual. People are into all kinds of things that I can not relate to.

I was speaking of the consequences of holding the positions in said message board posts and acting on them accordingly.

Are there serious issues involved in the Hamilton case? Of course. In real life, when talking to people about it, especially teenage kids for instance, do we have to be careful and thoughtful with what we say? Absolutely.

That's exactly why some of us come here now and then. As a break from that. Here I can just say, "Yup, I'd be $600 poorer if I had known about this last month" and chuckle and it's okay and nobody gets hurt. Then, having expressed the silly immature side of ourselves and gotten it out of our system, we go back to being careful and responsible. In real life. Where it matters.

What people say on here is not the best indication of how they are in real life ... it's not only PRs that change when you log on to LRC.

There is no longer any mention of her on her company's website:

http://www.favorhamiltonrealty.com/

Husband's bio just says that he lives with his 6 year old daughter Kylie, no mention of being married or Suzy.

Serious question - are you a female?

To everyone saying that her life is over, her kids are going to be ruined, etc., consider this: if you randomly stop 10 people on the street, most likely all 10 will have no idea who SFH is. This will be even more true for the 20 and under crowd. From a public standpoint, her family will be fine. They might have their own private issues, but hey who doesn't. Plus, it sounds like between her real estate gig, her husband's job, and her escort money the F-H family is doing okay financially.

This reeks of dumb. What about 10 people on the street in Madison, WI? You know, where her daughter is growing up, going to school, etc. Think that might change things a little? Think going to school might be a bit rougher for the child? Think their "private issues" might be a little less private than you think in Wisconsin?

100% on the money.

her tweets

I swear, when I saw the headline, I thought it was from The Onion

I would still bet 10 people out of 10 don't know who she is even in Wisco. I live in the DC area and pretty much all non runners have little to no idea who Alan Webb is. How many DC 7 year olds who know Webb is (the age of SFH's daughter)? I would guess none.

how about 10 kids in her daughter's schoolroom tomorrow? I'm thinking 30 out of 30 know her mom's a prostitute.

How about 10 of the next people mr hamilton meets? They probably know too. really.

And how many can find out in 30 seconds with Google? All of them.

SFH = Suzy Favor Hamilton = sex for hire

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!?!

I really don't know. I have no desire to see a prostitute and have never had a personal desire to just have sex with as many people as possible. Like you described, I prefer it to be an expression of relationship. However, I do not think that just because I prefer it to be like that means that is necessarily the best thing for everybody. I do not make judgements about how other people choose to express themselves sexually (unless that expression personally affects me, if I am in a relationship with them or something). Even though I have no desire to be with a prostitute I do not think it is the business of the state to forbid such commerce. Such a restriction is impossible to enforce and causes a host of other related issues.

Well, her husband is a lawyer and between the two of them, they run a real estate business with her name as the name of the company. In addition, she went to college in Madison, WI, which is much much smaller than D.C. (around 250,000 people). In addition, she is probably somewhat of a local hero on some level. I would bet that there is a great number of people who do know who she is and many of those would be in the athletic world and the higher end of the town society food chain.

Maybe Kip and SFH could work something out. Both disgraced professionals, both gone completely over the railing, both probably in a little bit of trouble with their families.

More seriously, my prediction is that SFH gets divorced and remarried within two years. Probably not to Kip, but who knows.
