You can find just about anyone, willing to do just about anything, on Craigslist.
Here is an actual ad from the "Roommate Wanted" section of Craigslist San Francisco:
$540 Sex...and other good things (berkeley)
Some of us in the house occasionally give parties....and...the party has a couple rooms where people can get as sensual/sexual as they want.
Looking for a roommate who could understand that, and possibly use his/her room for one of the playrooms when we have our parties. You don't even have to go to the party....some of the roommates don't....just let us use the room overnight, and return it to it's pristine condition the next day.
So they're basically telling you that people like this are going to have sex on your bed:

And possibly even people like this:

Despite this, you know that they still got responses from this ad. Craigslist is filled with nutjobs.
To prove the inherent craziness of Craigslist, I decided to post a "Roommate Wanted" ad on Craigslist, to see if I could get strange women to send me pictures of their feet.
NO DEPOSIT OR CREDIT CHECK
Hello ladies. The rent is $200 per month. The only catch is I wish to take pictures of your feet ONLY. I don't care about your body or face, and nothing other than pictures your feet will be modeled. NO SEX is involved.
All I want are 10 pictures of your feet and all you pay for rent is $200 a month for use of a huge apartment.
If you are interested please email me with a photo of your feet. Or call 415-XXX-XXXX and tell me about your feet. Non-smokers please
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!
Lo and behold, with the enticement of cheap rent, my mailbox was soon stuffed with pictures of strangers' feet:
I have no problem re: photos of my feet, I'd just would like to meet and see if we can work something out.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Brenda

Wow, that is a really awesome offer! I'm sure your getting a TON of pictures of feet! And ,I , myself am considering doing the same thing:) I just hope you find my feet suitable. They're pretty small and petite. I'm a size 5.5-6. And may I ask what the foot photos would be for? And also....
I will go ahead and attach my foot photos to the email.
If I'm not suitable for this damn good offer, its cool:) I hope you find the right person with the right feet
Look forward to hearing from you,
Monique
p.s. I attached 5 pictures of my feet and will send 5 more in another email.
i saw your ad on cl and i am interested to learn more! i am a 26 yr old yoga teacher and waitress i don't know how my feet would rate on a scale of above average, but i would say that my feet pleasing to the male eye for the most part. i would be happy to send more feet pics upon reply. thanks for your time and let me know if you would like to know anymore.

(The next woman didn't even want to be my fictional roommate -- she just wanted to share her love of feet photos!)
I like your ad so much I'm just going to send you two pictures of my feet for free. Hope you find a taker!


Wow! I like that your honest! This offer is really good for the place your presenting. So Im very interested. I guess you might want to know what my feet look like. So I'll attach my picture in the email. Let me know what you think.
Im 24yrs old, and I currently do work in the health and wellness field, doing massage therapy. Ive been doing it for 2 yrs. Im open to trying new things, creative, and love music. I sing hooks for different groups. I did a few songs with rap groups. I enjoy it. Where in sf are you located. I was looking for some place near bart or major bus lines.
I have no problem with you checking me out my feet as long as that is all your doing.
Valerie

I think we have a winner! Valerie will be my new fictional roommate, due to her feet photos. With that dazzling array of polish, you know she has to be a fun-loving, creative type -- or cursed with a multiple personality disorder.
So that's how its done, if you ever want strange women to send you random pictures of their feet. But I'm already looking forward to my next Craigslist prank. What type of fake ad would you like to see appear next on Craigslist? Please comment below and let us know!

The last one annoys me because she did such a great job on every toe except the one with black polish, which looks sloppy.

Or it could just be the non-conforming Goth toe.

I enjoyed that article. Four times so far.
(Since you chose Valerie anyway, I'm sure you wouldn't mind forwarding Brenda's pics and e-mail address to me. lingeringfartreekATyahooDOTcom).
