Free Advice Is Just Around the Corner
(1) When Daniel Franklin, a political science professor from Atlanta, needed career advancement advice, he didn’t turn to colleagues; therapists or even his mom.
(2) He went to the Advice ladies.
(3) Throe thirty something New York women, advertising freelancers by day, have turned themselves into Saturday afternoon street-comer oracles, they pull up lawn chairs and a table on a lower Manhattan street comer and dish out free advice to passersby. They’ve claimed the comer of West Broadway and Broome Street in Soho as their own for the last several months.
(4) Amy Alkon, who, with longtime friends Marlowe Minnick and Carolyn Johnson, becomes a part-time shrink each weekend. "We use creative problem-solving to turn problem into fun," she says.
(5) On a recent steamy afternoon, a line has formed in front of the Advice Ladies’ table. Obviously, New Yorkers need plenty of help. "People feel they have no control in this crazy world. And therapy can take years," Minnick says. "We solve problems instantly, it’s instant answer gratification."
(6) The three brainstorm before delivering advice on everything from pet discipline, closet-space management, even hair care. But no legal advice "By far, most of our questions are love-related. It’s amazing the intimate sexual problems that people will divulge to a total stranger," Alkon says.
(7) But they won’t be strangers much longer. The Advice Ladies are putting together a book deal. And Robert De Nitro is creating a talk show around them, due nationally this fall from his Tribeca Pictures.
(8) "De Nitro asked us for advice, but we think he’s already perfect," purrs Alkon.
(9) And their career advice to Franklin? "He’s written a book, so we told him to get a manager and go on the touring circuit. It’s great money and great publicity for the book."
(10) "Good advice," says Franklin.
There were ______.

B、throe women freelancers about 30 years old who offered advertising advice on Saturday
C、about 30 women advertising freelancers offered advice every Saturday afternoon in New York
D、three women about 30 years old, who did advertising as a job, offered free advice every Saturday afternoon
