Boy Toy For Rent

There will be no new posts here on February 7th. I'll be spending the day in New York. Heh.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wanted: rich older women interested in hot younger guys. Applicants must be over 35, earn at least $500,000 a year or have a minimum of $4 million in liquid assets, entrusted assets or divorce settlement.

That's the basis of a speed-dating event organized by a New York entrepreneur bringing together 20 "sugar mamas" and 20 "boy toys" vetted by an elite New York matchmaker.

"Symbiosis has allowed ugly rich men to attract young, gorgeous, money-hungry women for centuries; it's now the women's turn," proclaims pocketchangenyc.com, the Web site that Jeremy Abelson is using to promote the event.

Set to take place at Manhattan's 230 Fifth club on February 7, it has attracted more than just wealthy divorcees. Nancy Richards, 50, is the owner of a marketing firm and a theater producer in New York and London. (H/T - Yahoo!)

Sign me up! Ladies, as your new Boy Toy, it will be my pleasure to serve you. I mean, who wouldn't want to rent a fat (well, less fat), sarcastic blogger for a night out on the town?

The bidding starts at $100,000 . . . or two Rangers tickets.
