    RE: The Emperor's Club No Clothes

    Emily Y and Rosa—I knew I’d been carrying this thing around in my pocket all week for a reason. Ripped out of an airplane magazine last week an ad for www.firstclassmatchmaking.com. Not to be compared to the Emperor’s Club, but I do wonder—as did Emily Y—the difference between the $5,500 nookie and the kind that costs the same as putting the soap powder in the dishwasher? At any rate (so to speak), the ad for firstclassmatchmaking.com on the plane promised “affluent men” assistance in “finding serious, committed relationships with 8s 9s and 10s." I wondered if the 10s cost more. My husband found himself wondering whether you could maybe get two fives for the same price?
