Ask E. Jean For DearSugar: Should I Take the Job For the Money?

Dear E. Jean,

I've received an unusual job offer: boxing ring girl. What do you think? The pay is $1,000 a match, and I could really use it. But I can’t decide if walking around a ring is something I'd look at in a different light if I didn’t need the money. I'd be in a bikini or cutoff t-shirts and what they call "booty shorts." I'm very comfortable with my body, but I don't know how I'd feel with 5,000 men there. — Knock Out

Knock-Knock Sweetheart,

Did you say . . . riiiiiing girl!? Auntie Eeee is celebrated for her gentility, but if she could grease up like a stick of butter and bump and grind around a ring holding up a card while wearing nothing but her underpants, it might do wonders for her spiritual life.

But $1,000 sounds a bit off. I called the fabled fight promoter Cedric Kushner, CEO of Gotham Boxing Inc. Mr. Kushner said that for local "cup shows," young ladies receive $100-$125 per night and "for the big title bouts at Caesars Palace and Madison Square Garden, the rate is $150-$200." So somebody, my dear, is pulling your booty shorts.
