Fink, an aspiring stripper and porn star, is a member of an erotic video website and sells nude images of herself. She’s already signed a contract with a porn agency and hoped her profile would help people better understand her chosen field of work.

1. I wrote several controversial stories when I was a high school journalist.

One of them was an anonymous interview with a student who was buying, selling and using drugs on campus. My Journalism teacher went to bat for me with the administration regarding publishing such an article, and won. This was in 1968 and although I have never become a professional journalist, I have never revealed that student's identity to anyone.
