Classy, isn't she?

From Ignatius Insight

Further and sad proof, in The Telegraph, that it's becoming impossible to spoof the enlightened attitudes of our upside down times about sex, money, and education:

Natalie Dylan, 22, claims her offer of a one-night stand has persuaded 10,000 men to bid for sex with her.
Last September, when her auction came to light, she had received bids up to £162,000 ($243,000) but since then interest in her has rocketed.

The student who has a degree in Women's Studies insisted she was not demeaning herself.

Miss Dylan, from San Diego, California, USA, said she was persuaded to offer herself to the highest bidder after her sister Avia, 23, paid for her own degree after working as a prostitute for three weeks.

She said she had had a lot of attention from a wide range of men, including "weirdos", "those who get really graphically sexual about what they want to do to me" and "lots of polite requests from rich businessmen".

Miss Dylan said she did not think it was particularly significant to be willing to sell your virginity and insisted that she was happy to undergo medical tests for any doubters.

Topping it off, Ms. Dylan states: "It's shocking that men will pay so much for someone's virginity, which isn't even prized so highly anymore." It's good to know that something is able to shock her. I have a hunch that her combination of illogic, disregard for reality, and unflappable amorality will, unfortunately, serve her well in her studies. One wonders what the parents of these young, uh, ladies, think...

UPDATE: According to a longer story in The Herald Sun,, Ms. Dylan's degree is a masters course in Family and Marriage therapy. Seriously. Also, her older sister—who worked as a prostitute to pay for her degree—has been offering immoral support:

"I'm really proud of her," said Avia.

"I understand fully why she's doing this, and I don't know why anyone would criticise her for it.

"I worked there because I wanted to earn my own money so I would have some solid financial grounding."

Wait. I think I get it. Ms. Dylan is getting a degree in Family and Marriage therapy so she can provide counseling to her parents as they seek to get to the bottom of how and why their daughters decided to sell their bodies for college degrees. That's gotta be it...
