, the "high class escort" whose DC rendez-vous with Eliot Spitzer meant the end of his governorship, is "tired and sick" right now but she's damn proud of her Playboy pictorial (she's the May covergirl). Dupre writes on her blog, "Posing for Playboy gave me the opportunity to regain a sense of control. These aren’t photos I texted to someone. They’re not stupid mistakes I made years ago. These photos are done beautifully. I’m very happy with them and I am happy and honored to be a part of the Playboy family."
She also writes about how newspapers would be "covered with my nearly naked body" and complains how former friends or acquaintances sold "stupid little cell phone pictures" of her—"It seemed really hypocritical to me. They used a woman’s nudity, her sexuality, to make money for themselves, but didn’t hesitate to call her a whore." Unclear if this is a potshot at the Post where she's now a sex columnist.
Animal has the very NSFW photographs (NSFW link), which features Dupre posing at a mansion with candles, a whip, some chains, a fur, elaborate stockings and little else. But her belly tattoo—tutela valui—has been seen before, since she has flaunted her body at the beach. Related: Spitzer allegedly spent $100,000 on hookers.
