One of the great things about the United States is that truly anyone can run for public office. If you doubt that, consider the fact that Stepfanie Velez-Gentry - who organizes sex-toy parties for a living - is running for a vacant seat in the New Jersey state assembly.
It's true - Velez-Gentry is the proprietor of Nookie Parties LLC, which hosts Tupperware-like parties... except instead of showing off plastic containers, she demonstrates the latest in vibrators and butt plugs. As her website says, "We are in the business of Romance Enhancement & believe that if we can help improve your romance our job is done."
According to Xbiz, Velez-Gentry is a Republican - which I find pretty shocking given her occupation. She told the website that her Nookie Parties has given her a venue with which to commune with potential voters. “When other women voters see me at a party they always say ‘you go, girl’ and say ‘knock ‘em dead,’” she said. “I always get a high-five and lots of support where ever I go.”
Publicly, though, she doesn't exactly promote what she does for a living. According to Xbiz, she bills herself simply as a small business owner. Which reminds me of someone else running for office...
I believe I've made the connection between sex and pro wrestling on this blog before, and here we have another one. Linda McMahon, wife of wrestling kingpin Vince McMahon, recently resigned her position as chief executive officer of World Wrestling Entertainment to run for the U.S. Senate in her home state of Connecticut, also as a Republican. While you can find references to wrestling on her website, they're not exactly front and centre.
She isn't hiding the fact that she's made her name and fortune by broadcasting shows where nearly naked men bash each other on the head with chairs while wearing spandex, but she certainly doesn't seem overly proud of it. The sex folks often take a similar tactic when trying to make it in the mainstream. I can't say I blame either. Sex and wrestling aren't exactly vote-getters (although don't tell Jesse "the Body" Ventura).
