After the 1st month your going to continue to take care of all the bills and Run it and update it. At which point she she can hope that other affiliates sign up and promote this site. Meanwhile your doing this all for nothing ?
Who's paying the server bill on this hot new site? who paid for processing. Who is paying the small fee to the people you know to shoot the content? Oh and when does your Fee for running the site start to kick in?
Dedicated people who run self contained sites like Alley and jake , Newbreed and Arika, Sammy and Brett are not the norm. They are the exception.
Look at your Sig. That site is successful because of the company that created it and pushed it. And once again that is the exception to the rule.

and to add to this great post:
who's going to pay for all costs associated with getting the business setup(licensing, etc.)? What happens when your wondergirl flakes out or disappears 1.5 months into the project and you don't have enough content shot ahead of time to keep the sites freshly updated?
The hard, cold reality of this business is that models are replaceable, far more so than promoters, coders and designers. Getting a girl to take her clothes of for money is easy, getting someone who can make the servers run right, the scripts run without malfunctions and deal with customer as well as affiliate stress are worth their weight in gold.
