Bunny hop to myspace
Wired has an article about Christine Dolci, aka "ForBiddeN" (whatever that means). Ms. Dolci's claim to fame is that she is the first sex figure to come out of MySpace.
After amassing over a million "friends" on the social networking site, Ms. Dolci was able to parley her online popularity into a Playboy photo spread, an ad campaign for distressed jeans and an appearance in a body spray commercial.
If there was any lingering doubt that Myspace-like sites were another leg on the pop culture millipede, this should dispel it. Now that people know that they can use these social networks to become famous, they will. Like American Idol, technology has been the fairy godmother making Andy Warhol's dreams about fleeting fame for the proletariat come true.
