As others have said, I was particularly struck by what poor value His Excellency the Governor was getting: An ill-educated, sometimes homeless, erstwhile (maybe?) druggie, with a homemade tattoo on her hand--sounds like a fairly typical white whore to me. Above average looks for a working girl, but there are plenty of decent-looking whores about whose services would be available at a fraction of her fees, I suspect...at least there were a couple of decades back when I was more into that scene. Even making a generous adjustment for inflation, I wouldn't rate "Kristen" as worth more than about $300/hr.

I too strongly suspect the "high class" prostitute is pretty much a creation of fiction and cinema.

In the course of my many adventures in hookerland (and I lived and worked in areas teeming with prostitutes in the '70s and '80s), I found that about a third of all prostitutes were really nice--pleasant and eager to please. About a third were cold and avaricious and not very pleasant, and about third fell somewhere between those extremes. Unfortunately, usually, the less attractive the hooker, the more pleasant and eager to please she was and vice-versa, although this was by no means always the case.

Some will tell you the "hooker with the heart of gold" is a myth. I disagree. There are some. Not many, but some.

I wonder what the Emperors Club's absolutely top-dollar girls look like. For those prices, one would expect them to be of the caliber of Sports Illustrated swimsuit models at the very least.

I note that Spitzer had signed into law legislation increasing the prison time for "Johns" from 3 months to one year. Frankly, I hope he does get some time in the pokey.

Here in SoCal, I think in both LA and Long Beach the cops are legally allowed to confiscated your car (permanently!) for attempting to solicit a copchick posing as a hooker. Pretty damn draconian if you ask me--both the jail time and the confiscation--for a totally victimless crime for some poor bastard who is guilty of nothing more than being lonely and horny and having a few bucks in his pocket, especially when there is invariably a high element of entrapment in such cases.

Most of these increased penalties are the result of feminist pressure to punish the clients of the whores. In feminist mythology, the whores are invariably the victims of the wicked Johns. Most popular entertainment is also sympathetic to the whores--their clients are almost invariably depicted as at best obnoxious louts, at worst psycho killers. All this sympathy for the poor whore--none for the poor John! Apparently, the creators of such rubbish have never been roused from a sound sleep at 3:00 a.m. with a collect call in a wheedling voice, "Hey, this is Krissie. I just got released from Women's Central Jail, and I could sure use a date right now." Happened to me more times than I care to remember!
