It looks like a dream job, but I have to give up everything for a meagre salary and what could be an uncertain future :( Well you have me a little worried, I’m due to start working as a film critic in the next couple of months for an online company.

While a mob moll is defined as a "girlfriend of a gangster" the term implies much more of course, in terms of complicity in the criminal enterprise. In my case, I was a 28 year old lawyer, had practiced law for 3 years when I got personally involved with alleged members of organized crime for the first time in my life. The media - none of whom inteviewed me, described me as a "mob moll" and a ditsy mob groupie. Every article written made me look like a complete fool and a tragic figure and not one journalist even tried to inteview me yet many wrote articles and even chapters about me in books. So I think there is a tendency to portray what people want - and instead of art imitating life, or life imitating art, when it comes to "mob molls", art (film) winds up "interpreting" life the way we want it to be, or the way we think will sell, or to support the message we want to send - which is rarely a positive one when it comes to women.
