Tim Draper's desperate housewife

forward thinkingOne of Tim Draper's portfolio companies has won an endorsement from none other than Teri Hatcher, the star of Desperate Housewives. The actress, who plays a single mom on the hit ABC suburban drama, thinks the products "forward thinking". For a second I thought Web 2.0 mania, and promotional budgets, were lapping at the shores of Hollywood -- until realizing the desperate housewife was talking about the sex toys produced by Jimmyjane, in which Draper, the alpha jock of Valley venture capital, has a very personal investment. Hatcher is being used as a customer reference in Jimmyjane's new fundraising. [Thanks, Alex Haislip.]
