From the moment everybody learned the identity of the high-priced hooker who helped bring down former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, there's been a mad-dash among media outlets to get that hussy to strip down for some photos.
That is, show the world what the governorship of the Empire State was worth.
Weeks after the scandal broke, Larry Flynt reportedly offered the young lady -- Ashley Dupre -- $1 million to bare all for Hustler. Seemed like a good deal if you ask us -- just months earlier she was doing far-worse for far-less than the million-dollar offer made by the first amendment hero and smut-peddler extraordinaire.
Penthouse soon followed with a big-bucks offer of its own, but, again, Dupre declined to disrobe.
Finally, more than two years after the scandal that brought down the governor broke, somehow Dupre is still relevant and posing for Playboy.
The much-anticipated issue is scheduled to be released tomorrow, but one of our colleagues at New Times' New York sister paper, the Village Voice, figured why wait?
VV blogger Foster Kamer got his hands on Dupre's Playboy spread before its release, and he was happy to share it with the world.
We've had a look at the photos, and we can confirm one thing: They look real. You be the judge after the jump.
That's just a taste. Check out the rest of Kamer's find by clicking here.
