For Gennifer, Dolly, Paula and Monica, love never has to die, if they take it online.
Sep 2, 1999 | Move over, Mr. Blue. You've got competition. Gennifer Flowers has her Web site up and running and ready to advise us on how to bewitch men, and, if we are lucky, how to lure a millionaire -- or at least a politician.
Dolly Kyle Browning, another long-rumored Clinton paramour, has a very extensive Web enterprise that offers exclusive access to the inside story of her times with Bill.
Paula Jones may be lagging on the Web, but she's consulted a psychic hot line and gazed into crystal balls, and she's planning a singing career, so stayed tuned.
Monica Lewinsky is selling handbags and contemplating the launch of a line of cosmetics, including lipstick that stays on no matter what you do with your lips.
It's all about exploitation, baby. Launched in August, Flowers' site proudly presents the Presidente cigar, a blend of Cuban seed tobaccos grown in the Dominican Republic and Honduras. Prices have yet to be announced. Flowers also peddles photos of herself in starlet poses -- $4.95 for black and white, $5.95 for color. Don't pass up the picture of her dressed only in a man's white dress shirt, pulling papers from a filing cabinet with a cardboard cutout of Clinton in the background for $12.95. Each photo is numbered and signed by Flowers.
Obviously, a scandal Web site is not complete without tapes. Flowers offers several along with other kinds of audio products. She "sets the record straight" with the "Complete and Unedited Bill Clinton/Gennifer Flowers Tapes and the Story Behind Them." According to Flowers, "These are very limited editions and collectors items!"
In 1992, Flowers tried to sell these tapes to the tabloids after the scandal erupted about her possible affair with the president, but now she'll sell them directly to you. Beware, though. The president's whispery sweet nothin's seem positively tame next to the other audio offerings on her site, such as Flowers' purring renditions of such classics as "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "When a Man Loves a Woman."
