Wow! What fire and passion! I sent her this reply:

Dear Betty,

Thank you for your inquiry. Your bad grammar and salty language aside, I think you might be an ideal candidate. You've got spunk, and that goes a long way in today's job market. Please forward me a list of references and fill out the attached questionnaire.

I'll get back to you as soon as possible. As far as I'm concerned, you're at the top of the list!

The Chipmunk sent me this craigslist ad today:

Free Rent for a submissive girl in need (Williamsburg)

Ok I know what I have to offer isn't for everyone and for this I am sorry but what I am offering is for a submissive girl who is just tired of paying rent. I have a big loft in Williamsburg and I have a room available. Now I work all the time and am out of town allot so I have no time to find a girlfriend nor do I want one. What I am looking for is a playful submissive that will exchange her generosity for rent. So if you need to catch up, save money, or just tired of paying rent drop me a line.


What a great idea! So I whipped up my own:

Free Rent for Submissive Girl with Windex Skills (Prospect Heights)

I make no apologies for what I'm offering: a free room in Brooklyn for a submissive girl who is just tired of paying rent. I have a two bedroom in Prospect Heights and one room available. I'm a freelancer and work long days, so I have no time to find a girlfriend nor do I want one. What I am looking for is a playful submissive that will exchange her generosity (and light cleaning skills) for rent. This is a great way to save money, and I can't imagine any girl that wouldn't want to do it. No strings attached here.

The apartment is large and in a good neighborhood close to three different subways. Laundry in the building. Air conditioned.

You will be screened by me and the girl I am currently dating. She does not live with me, but stays over occasionally. We are close. She is aware of this arrangement and approves of it unreservedly. She does not have to be involved in anything other than the screening process if you so wish, but all avenues remain open at this time.


Let's see what happens, shall we?
