Real world muses
Marginal Revolution mentions an interesting real-world form of muses:
Quote:
A number of people have been hiring “virtual” assistants in lower-wage countries to do all the tasks in their life that don’t require a personal presence. Such assistants are found starting at a few bucks an hour... Anyway, last weekend I was talking to an acquaintance about his use of such services. He has his assistant seducing women for him. His assistant, who is female and lives in India, logs onto his account on a popular dating site, browses profiles and (pretending to be him) makes connections with women on the site. She has e-mail conversations and arranges first dates. Then her employer reads the e-mail conversation and goes to the date.

Re: Real world muses
would make a nice vid sitcom: a guy lives with a girl, but girl is actually dating guy's muse.

"Is *that* your personality? I just thought it was your Muse!" "You tell me. All the time we have been dating, and I thought you were a human."
