One of the hottest shows on TV last season was Dirty Sexy Money, and for good reason. Sure it was dirty in more ways than one, and it was undoubtedly sexy, and of course money is the root of at least some of the evil on the show. But what really makes this show one to watch is the cast of characters and the actors who play them.
Donald Sutherland as bazillionaire Tripp Darling. Jill Clayburgh as his wife Letitia. Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) as Nick George, whose father was the Darling family’s legal counsel, and when he passes away, Nick is offered the job. William Baldwin as rising politician Patrick Darling, who is both married and having an affair with someone very different than his family would ever expect. Blair Underwood as billionaire Simon Elder. And all of it executive-produced by Greg Berlanti (Dawson’s Creek, Brothers & Sisters, Eli Stone).
2007 was a short TV season due to the writer’s strike, so there were only 10 episodes made of the show. Therefore there is a terrific bunch of bonus features on the last disc of the set-the making of Dirty Sexy Money, a VIP set tour of the Darling’s Manhattan mansion (filmed on a Hollywood soundstage), “Dressing the Darlings”, a wonderful look at the couture clothes that each character wears, and “The Other Woman: Candis Cayne”, a look at the character of Carmelita and how transgender performer Candis Cayne brings her to life. There are also Commentaries, Deleted Scenes, and Dirty Sexy Bloopers.

corrins last blog post..Babies Suck
I love that show!
If I had unlimited money I’d pay off my debt, pay off my parents debt and make sure we all had homes to live in. Then I’d pay for my kids college, buy a family burial plot. then I’d probably spend a little bit on some fun stuff for us and put the rest away.

valmgs last blog post..PT progress
Help out some, and never answer my phone
I have no idea what I’d do with that kind of money!
I’d let my wife get the dental work she needs, then treat her to a shopping spree! Of course I’d hope to save some for a rainy day, too!
Buy a house!
I’d buy a house, travel the world, give some to friends and family and then give the rest to charity.
Find a place to go away for a year at a time……
First I’d make sure my friends and family are taken care of and be sure they have enough to take care of themselves. Then I’d grab my husband and travel the world – doing whatever we wanted, going wherever we wanted, and helping people out along the way. That sounds like fun.
You’re already listed on my sidebar. Let me know if it needs to be a new link. I can do that, too.
Annas last blog post..I Just Can’t Stop
I would pay off all my debt and my brothers and daughters and 1 neigbor. It would also allow me to help people anonymously as I saw fit.
After paying off my debts and those of my immediate family, I would become an anonymous philanthropist. I’d devote my time and energy to vetting people/companies/organizations who need help or are doing good for other.
Added this to Google Bookmarks because I don’t belong to any of those other sites.
Pay the bills, buy a house, buy a house for my family, donate a whole bunch to people in need…

I would travel extensivly. I would live out of a suitcase for at least a year and maybe more. I would share my exploration of the world with my friends and family.
With unlimited amounts of money, I’d take care of my parents (pay off their home, dad’s truck etc), buy my adult daughter a home and buy property to build our dream home. I’d sock away alot for my youngest child’s college education as well as for the care of my disabled adult son for when I’m gone. I’d set up an annual payment to my favorite charities and set up a spay-neuter program that’s free for anyone who wants to get their pet altered as well as supporting every no-kill animal shelter out there!

I’d get my life in order first, and then have FUN sharing it. For example, at the market checkout, you’ve got someone worried about costs ahead of you, just pay their entire amount.
Just arbitrarily giving it away would not be as much fun as finding someone deserving and trying to change their life in anyway you can!
Help my children secure housing, set up educational funds for grandchildren. Give to my church and Soldiers Angels.
Buy alot of stuff

I’d buy a motorhome and go see all my blogging buddies.
I’d help out friends and family. set up ,y immediate family with houses of their own and payoff their debts. Set up trust funds for all members of immediate family and thier children. Give them all enough money to retire as well.
If I had unlimited money, I would get all of the normal stuff, house, new car, help out family members. I would probably donate money to some charities too, but I really don’t have any that I’m dedicated to at the moment.
I would use it to make world peace.
I would pay off all my bills, then build myself a new house, energy efficient of course. Then I would invest the rest so I could continue to live without worrying about money. I would also set up some type of trust fund so my kids would have money to live very comfortably. I’d set it up so they could only have access to so much money per year so they wouldn’t blow it.
have a ball
THANK YOU GOD BLESS
If I had an unlimited amount of money, I would pay off my credit card and student loan. I would spend a year on vacation before I buy a new car and a new house. I would spend the next few years finding a husband and starting a family. I would raise my family just like any other family (my kids would not be spoiled) and me and my husband would spend our retirement traveling around the world.
Travel anywhere and everywhere. I would love to see the world

I’d help out family members financially: homes, cars, college funding for niece and nephews, and whatever else family members might suggest. I’d also donate to Habitat for Humanity, as well as programs to provide clean drinking water. Heck, if it was an unending amount of money, I’d even pay off the Federal Debt . . . since, I presume you want me to be FILTHY RICH! hee, hee
I would find a financial planner first to help with the madness. Investing is not wise at this time…so I would hire a personal trainer, chef and learn how to eat better. I would buy the dream car (Mustang GT), dream house and of course, there would be charities. I would then have a center for women “on the brink”. What I mean by “on the brink” is on the brick of midlife crisis, on the brink of divorce, marriage etc…Guidance when a woman needs it…it would be there.

I would pay off all of our debts and then pay off the kids college loans. I would set up trust funds for my kids too. I would fix everything that needs fixing in my house, do some updating and landscaping and then I’d just invest.
Since it won’t happen I can say nice things like find a cure for some dreaded disease. But if it did happen, I would help my adult kids get their finances in better order. Set up college funds for grandkids. Fix up my Mom’s house so she will feel safe and able to do all that she wants.
