Don’t save yourself for the iPhone ballerina

Ballerina From the moment I saw the ballerina iPhone commercial, I knew she was a prime candidate to be the official Mac fan crush. She’s attractive and uses an iPhone to blog. I bet a few of you are ready to marry her without exchanging even a couple words (ok, at least “I do”).

Before you get your hopes up and start planning an iPhone and blog themed wedding and reception, I need to inform you of a sad fact. She has a boyfriend. The New York Observer reports:

A few months before launching The Winger, she had begun dating Doug Jaeger, a self-employed design type (“call me a creative entrepreneur,” he said later on the phone), whom she met through Dodgeball, a cellphone networking service. The couple, who ride motorcycles around town and currently share a one-bedroom in Alphabet City (and “many Macs”), salivated last winter when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, but made a pact not to buy it until the early bugs had been fixed. Then Mr. Jaeger caved, as men will.

“I felt so betrayed and jealous and upset,” said Ms. Sloan, recalling how her boyfriend revealed his purchase at a party the very day the iPhone was released last June. “He took it out on the couch and said, ‘Play with it,’ and I said, ‘No.’”

Dude. Harsh. She won’t play with it.
