Defamer is committed to connecting independent, ambitious women getting their start in our fair city with the affordable housing options offered by anonymous Craiglist benefactors looking for open-minded roommates. Today's CL listings present a veritable cornucopia of such low/no-cost housing opportunities (and since none brag about their industry ties, they must all be on the up-and-up, how refreshing!) available to hot-tub friendly females (and in one case, being biologically female doesn't seem to be a deal-breaker):

This includes rent,utilities, sharing my room, free wi-fi internet, phone local & long distance, running errands, cooking, dry cleaners, etc... I’m in Los Angeles close to everything in a safe neighborhood. If you want to talk more about it, call me... I'm not the jealous type, and I love good music. I also know of many ways to make money and usually have candy.
