A monologue from the play by Kate Mulley
MEREDITH (late twenties)
Meredith, a Yale Law School graduate turned SAT tutor, is recording a video diary entry for her used underwear website.
I know what you’re thinking: How does a nice smart girl get involved in petty sex trade? Two parts necessity, one part childhood repression.
But seriously: I read an article about it. It’s 3L spring and despite having some pretty impressive credentials and a desire to change the world, I can’t find a job.
My father, who’s a philosopher, tells me I should think outside the box for once and focus on the present rather than the future.
So I spend a lot of time perusing the internet in hopes that it would pique my imagination.
One week I decided I would join the Peace Corps, until I realized that I didn’t really want to live in any of the countries they go to.
After that I thought I would open up a cupcake store, but student loans and a lack of decorating skills made that plan pretty ludicrous.
Not to mention it’s an utter cliché at this point. And then I read an article about used underwear retail. And the more research I did, the more intrigued I was.
when you feel like you were the least sexually active girl at a school like Brown, sometimes you need to prove your past wrong by living in the present.
So, I enlisted a photographer friend to help me with pictures, used my nerdy high school computer skills to build a kickass site and went live a month later.
It started out slow, but an ingenious viral campaign and some innuendo-laden tweeting made my site the one to watch pretty quickly.
By the time graduation rolled around I was making bank and was too busy to study for the bar, which I determined was unnecessary anyway.
That fall, I started SAT tutoring to give myself a slightly more legitimate supplement to my sexy online business. And voila.
A year later, I’m financially solvent, in constant contact with 75 perverted men and 5 women and the lingerie store down the street calls me when any new items come in stock.
And you wonder why I haven’t had sex in a month?
