If you're like us, you'll be spending the weekend relaxing with your accountant as you finish your taxes at the last minute. If only we could employ the services of Seattle's "Tax Domme" Mistress Lori, who specializes in the unique tax situations faced by sex workers. Breast implants? Tax deductible! Hand lotions? Let's hope so! (thenaughtyamerican.com; see also TaxDomme.com)
