The Washingtonienne: Blog Slut Turned Book Slut

Last year we heard about the prostitute/blogger who lasted two weeks before her sexcapades in Washington D.C. were outed. Now Jessica Cutler's book is out, The Washingtonienne, which we're supposed to believe is a fictional novel. She insists the storylines and characters are composites, but it's pretty much all based on fact.

"I'd never written a novel before," she said. "So, the first draft, I handed it in, and my editor said, 'This is all wrong.' She said it wasn't like a novel."

"I had to go back and clean everything up," Cutler said, "and use my imagination."

More like her memory. You can even read a thrilling excerpt of when her blog goes public, which pretty much reads like what actually happened.

So that's how easy it is to score a six-figure book deal, huh?

To further complicate the story she's facing a lawsuit for invasion of privacy, which is kind of funny. What do you expect when you pay a coworker $400 to have sex with you and keep it quiet?
