Monica Lewinsky made a poor choice when she had sex with a married man.

236. Has Bill Clinton agreed to a VF interview/photo shoot?

When his article comes out, we'll want to critique it, too, I'm sure. Of course, he'll have to agree to do one, first. Think he will?

That said, VF asked ML to do the interview and she agreed. She may have been paid for her time. She also agreed to do a photo shoot, and VF is FAMOUS for artful and provocative photographs that, no matter how edgy, always make the subject look attractive (and she does look attractive in that picture). They're pictures that become works of art down the years.

Monica KNEW that she wouldn't be posed in a field dressed as Little Bo Peep, surrounded by sheep. The story was looking for a little "vibe" to sell it, photographically, and the image of the Portly Pepperpot (and that IS what the papers were calling her when the scandal was in full flower) nearly two decades on is what sells magazines.

Monica uses her fame --or infamy--on occasion; it's an asset that earns her a living, like it, or not. She can't get away from it, she is smart enough to dole herself out in small doses and market that asset to pay the bills.
