Not Another Teen Movie Summer Associate Story

But it might as well be one. A tipster sent us this anecdote, following up on our Cristina Schultz coverage:

Towards the end of my first year at the University of Texas School of Law, one of the first-years stopped showing up to class. But then she showed up at an end-of-year party for her section, and folks asked what she was doing.

“Modeling,” she says.

“Oh, really? Are you modeling for department stores or something?” respond her former classmates.

“Nope, lingerie.”

“Huh, that’s interesting. Like for a catalog or something?”

“Nope,” she responds calmly. “I go to hotel rooms and men masturbate while I strip down to lingerie.”

That conversation ended pretty quickly.

Lest you find this discussion crass, please bear in mind: An ambitious young woman making her way in the world, with little to trade on but her beauty and sensuality, is one of the great themes of literature. It’s in everything from Daniel Defoe’s Roxana (1724), to Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie (1900), to Jessica Cutler’s Washingtonienne (2005)…
(Feel free to add other examples in the comments. We will add them to our reading list, since we are strangely obsessed with these narratives. Maybe we’ve been reading too much Camille Paglia.)
