He Paid $63,000 To Make Her Perfect
I am not sure what to think about this article. It has a strong scent of fiction and social engineering.
It's almost as if throughout the article the author wants me to exclaim "we need to tax these fuckers into the poorhouse" or "No one should have that kind of disposable income".
While I did write it just above, I did not highlight passages throughout the article with those thoughts. Why? Because the more I read the article and looked at the pictures, the more I smelled an air of falseness, until it reeked of deceit.
That said, it's still brilliant, because at the moment I am not sure if this is fantasy, reality, or a mix of the two. This is an excellent writer and after asking ChatGPT she indeed is a renown novelist.
Rather than make me feel better, or help me understand this story better, I remain confused.
The "rich guy" is somewhat credible.
Look at Elon Musk. If I wrote some of his Hit Parade of Bullshit back in the 80s, I would have been turned down by every publisher if I were lucky, and committed if I were not.
Who would have thought that the richest man in the world would call cave rescue specialists "Pedos" for doing their jobs and turning down his untested, fantastical, robot vaporware?
And yet Musk exists, so this guy, this AAA Rated, top-shelf John, can exist too.
He is a world class weirdo for sure, but compared to Musk on a good day, he is quite reasonable, even credible, because very rich people are intrinsically weird.
As a kid, because of my father's profession and position, I met many families and individuals that fall in the category of stinking, disgustingly, rich.
Once I had the pleasure of having lunch at the "cottage" of Gina Lollobrigida, located in the via Appia in Rome next to actual Roman Emperor summer villas.
Compared to today space cadets like Musk, old Gina wasn't maybe that rich, but I invite you to check out the prices for a villa on the Appian way and get back to me. She had a lot of dough.
Hell, my doctor had an authentic "specula", a Roman Empire military Watchtower, in his backyard. The spot where he parked his 1963 Maserati GT was paved with Roman Empire era paving stones. A column of his otherwise quite modern villa, was smuggled out of the Circo Massimo. Yes, the place where Ben-Hur raced chariots (My father's office window looked right at it).
I know rich people. For the truly wealthy, the money spent on this experiment recounted in this article is equivalent to the spare change you clean from your couch if most of us still carried coins in our pockets.
Should a character like the one in this story really exist, he would be the embodiment of everything that's wrong with our society and he and his ilk should indeed be taxed into (relative) poverty.
In other words, he seems a bit excessive to me. Aside from having loads of money, he doesn't seem to have a single redeeming quality, at least none the author bothered to point out.
The model in the photos look credible and not AI generated (she has all of her digits, nails, her teeth are inside her mouth, but I hear they are getting better with those things), but frankly she is not $1300 an hour beautiful.
That said, my ancestors used to say "De gustibus non est disputandum", or "There's no accounting for taste."
To me, her beauty is boring and commonplace, to me someone like Sade, the singer, not the band, would be the kind of beauty I would lose my mind over. To him this young lady could have been the very blank canvas he was looking for to drop $60K on.
I'll be watching this space to see if this is indeed a real story. If it is, I hope the protagonist has learned that men are, by and large, shit. Rich men are, by and large, worse shit because their power is multiplied by their net worth and their already inflated narcissism.
If this lady is real, I would like to know more about her inner monologues, her feelings about the matter, or do $1300 an hour get rid of those things?
