Fishnet temptress Danielle Chiesi snagged by insider trading scandal

The publication of federal indictments against the flamboyant chief of a $7 billion (£4.3 billion) hedge fund has provided a glimpse into a secretive world of male-dominated corporate networking that allegedly proved almost comically vulnerable to the seductive charms of a woman described by one Wall Street website as “a blue-eyed temptress”.

For me at least bad hairdo is not an obstacle if you are vivacious and wholesome and know some home making skills. If you can cook without a microwave oven that is a plus
