"Although qualified as a lawyer, it is unclear whether she ever practiced, because shortly after leaving law school she went into business with her father, who by then was running sex chatlines. By 1994 she had two of her own chatlines, called WKP and SPR. Some say Richard Parasol gave them to his daughter to help her make her own way in the world of adult." - http://********.com/read.aspx?ID=10316 entertainment.

If she was ever a webmistress is was for a brief time because according to her spokesperson she was out of adult by 1996 (when most online sites were just getting their start).

"Ms Parasol's spokesman says she and her father had withdrawn from IEG by mid-1996, and that she has severed her connections with the internet pornography industry."

Interesting woman and story nonetheless.
