It is not known if the News of the World paid her for her story.

Only as much as Penthouse pays for its letters.

[Pylon]

BTW, she is a lesbian, hence, her "partner".

Saving herself for

8400 pounds for a virgin!!!??

what a bloody idiot.

not worth it mate. just not worth it.

[flying Elvis]

I hear she sold the movie rights, to be called, "An Ignorant Proposal"

[squidly]

Isn't prostitution illegal in the UK? Where are the bobbies?

[Happygal]

She got HOW MUCH to lose her virginity?

If ONLY I'd known! *L*
That little ne'er' do well would never have gotten near me all those years ago! *L*

[Makedonski]

Apparently in Albania one can buy a woman for $2000 US.

with 8400 pounds that would be full house.

Anyway not worth a bloody cent if you ask me.

I guess I live in a parallel universe. After college I taught for 5 years and worked a second job to pay off my student loans.

Let me think about the "values" of this woman. She explains that she decided she'd rather sell herself as a skanky prostitute than honestly earn and pay back the money she spent on her education. She refers to that as "living in poverty." You know, I have a mortgage several times larger than her education debt. Why don't I and everyone else in my neighborhood just do something morally bankrupt so we can escape from this "misery?" Geesh. She's just a petty selfish shallow jerk, why is the article written as though she deserves sympathy?

Rosie Reid, 18, from London, slept with a 44-year-old BT engineer in a hotel room in Euston after he paid her £8,400
She hatched the plan to avoid graduating with debts of £15,000 from her Bristol University degree course.

Hmmmmmm.... looks like Rosie came up about £6600 short.
LOL! No wonder she's crying.
She's gonna have to perform a LOT more tricks to earn that much now that she's just an ordinary hooker.

[beaversmom]

Her parents must be very proud.

This story reminds me of an old joke (slightly off-color, but less off-color than the "news" story itself):

A man's at a party and he starts talking with a woman. The man says, "Would you sleep with me if I gave you ten million dollars?" The woman looks at the man, pauses, and says, "Ten million for one night? Well, yes," she says.

"How about a million dollars?" says the man? "Maybe," says the woman.

"How about a hundred dollars?" says the man. "No way," says the woman. "What do you think I am? A whore?" "Oh, we've already established that," says the man. "We're just quibbling about the price."

[HELLRAISER II]

I think she got what she asked for, as for her being a virgin I'd have to disagree with that. If she's had sex with her Lesbian lover, it's still sex and if she used in sex toy's what's the difference?

[been called a cynic]

a "social policy" student, eh?

hmmmm....

[NoGrayZone]

Why is she so upset??? She put the bid up there, then went ahead and had sex w/ a stranger for money (prostitute). If she feels that bad about it, then give back the money. That way, she could be just a stupid girl instead of a stupid prostitute.

[FutureMarine]

8400 pounds is way too much. If that guy had become a "martyr" he would have gotten 72 virgins for free.
