*How To Land A Rich Man*

(Excerpt from article)

Apparently the entire feminist movement was some sort
of hoax.

Or so the recent rash of dating gurus and their
controversial guidebooks
on landing a rich guy would have you believe. Never
mind equality, these
women want money--and lots of it.

With burning bras a distant memory, these shameless
women have authored
books, offer seminars and even give private lessons on
how to snag a
moneyed man. They offer the where-to's and how-to's
that can help unlock
the marital bank without doing, well,
anything--flirting not withstanding.

Why not make it yourself? critics often ask Ginie
Polo Sayles, author
of /How to Marry Rich/. Her response: You can, but
you can do it faster
with a man.

Leidra Lawson, author of /Sugar Daddy 101: What You
Need to Know If You
Want to Be a Sugar Baby/, is just as blunt.
Personally, I love to
work, she says. But I also like to know I can go
shopping or go on
vacation without having to save up money for it.

Tip: Let's hope your high heels were made for walking, because money-grubbing requires movement. "You'll need to upgrade your lifestyle," explains Leidra Lawson, a self-proclaimed "sugar baby." That doesn't mean you need to change what you do, just where you do it. Have a coffee craving? Bypass your local coffee joint and head straight to a coffee shop in the financial district--and hope the wait is long enough to flirt! The same goes for lunch, dinner and any trip to the grocery store--you may need to shell out a bit more money, but better prospects are guaranteed.
