The Girlfriend Experience, a film about high-class call-girls and the men who pay for them, aired earlier this week at the Tribeca Film Festival just a few blocks north of where the real action took place—Wall Street. Director Steven Soderbergh called upon adult-film star Sasha Grey to take the lead, a role that, surprisingly, made the porn actress weary.

"I got [to my first sex scene], and I was only nervous waiting around," the actress told MTV News. Then once the scene started, I was fine. But working for Steven—it's like, 'Am I doing this right? Should … Read More

You know you might be a candidate for Dating A Banker Anonymous if you've suffered any of the following:

a. Your Bergdorf's allowance has been halved.

b. Bottle service has all but disappeared from your life.

c. You depend on your boyfriend for the above indulgences.

Such is the premise of the support group and blog that two ex-girlfriends of Wall Street types started after the market—and then their relationships—plunged. When they noticed other women complaining about the enhanced thriftiness, neediness and emotional instability of their banker boyfriends, they decided the girlfriends (dare we call them gold diggers?) needed some … Read More

What's a Lehman lady or Bear Stearns babe to do when her job's gone south?

In a shocking revelation, Playboy thinks she should take her clothes off. The nude empire is currently recruiting women for a February 2009 spread (ha).

Playboy's photo editor says it's not money that gets women to disrobe, it's "the attention, the opportunity, the experience." Well, at least something's not about money these days...

Unemployment is not a requirement. In fact, the mag would rather have gainfully employed, senior-level ladies, if possible. Because getting naked for the wide … Read More

Thanksgiving week of 1997 I was a couple weeks short of thirty-three, technically unemployed, eleven months sober and had been recently served with divorce papers.

I had finally made it out of my week-to-week furnished studio hovel and into a two-bedroom apartment. Each morning I sat in my bay window with a view of the State House in the distance, watching the sunrise over Boston. On Friday nights, my three-year-old daughter, Grace, and one-year-old son, James, came over. James always ended up in bed with me, his head nuzzled into my neck, while his sister slept in the bunk beds … Read More

The WSJ.com (that’s Wall Street Journal, investors) has an online section called ‘The Juggle.’ ‘The Juggle’ refers to juggling a work-life balance. At any rate, today’s Juggle is about meeting someone.

The Wall Street set’s biggest complaint is lack of time. When you work 90 hours per week, it’s a little tough to meet someone. And when you do have a chance to go out, you’re probably only going to meet other coworkers. For some personalities that is a recipe for disaster. Either competing alpha egos are going … Read More

In 1987, I resigned from a blockbuster 11-year career at the premier investment banking firm of Goldman Sachs. I had gotten married in 1980 to a wonderful guy I worked with. We sat directly across from each other on the trading floor. We had been secretly dating for three years and so our engagement announcement was a tremendous shock to our colleagues. Unfortunately, we got divorced four years later when we figured out that while we loved being business colleagues, we were not in love. We continued to sit across from each other on the sales desk … Read More
