"Obviously, these men were looking for discretion, and that’s why they paid so much money to find somebody to talk to, to take out to dinner..."

"To make sure... whatever the case may be.”

David said...: Let's see. How many people are exploiting this young woman?

The celebrity judge.
Anderson Cooper and his staff.
Jabba The Hut (the lawyer on the end of the couch.)
And Mom?

Oh, no. Not mom!

I understand that the woman is an adult, etc, etc., but could they mount their publicity blitz without inducing her to do this?; 5/2/12, 9:18 AM

Sadly, I think that in NYC, it is worse to be accused of being a Soccer Mom than a Madam.; 5/2/12, 9:24 AM

Thorley Winston said...: Wasn’t this in an early episode of “Law and Order”? Two bored soccer moms start an “escort” business that caters to wealthier clients only to be blackmailed by a private detective who turns up dead.; 5/2/12, 9:30 AM
Eric the Fruit Bat said...: Then it's true what they say: that the 24 year old daughter from a previous marriage is always the last to know.; 5/2/12, 9:34 AM
traditionalguy said...: That is a professional calling to be discrete. Attorneys use it.

So she was a professional who earned her money. The Escort buyers were the immoral ones.; 5/2/12, 9:38 AM

This one goes back to "NYPD" (1967). In that one, the cops stumble across the girls and their little start-up and one of the moms accuses one of rape.; 5/2/12, 9:41 AM

wyo sis said...: It probably makes everyone feel better to make it about "discretion."
Without sex where's the need for discretion?; 5/2/12, 9:44 AM
traditionalguy said...: There is an old saying that committing adultery is always stupidly dangerous because there is always one other person who knows that you did it. ( See, Rielle Hunter.)

Discretion is the promise not to disclose that information.; 5/2/12, 9:58 AM
John henry said...: Isn't prostitution a "choice"? Don't women (and men)have absolute autonomy over their own bodies?

Should not feminists, such as our hostess, be clamoring to get this woman out of jail?

Should not feminists be clamoring to legalize prostitution?

Or does "choice" only apply to abortion? (And only to abortion is the woman is not aborting a girl or gay baby)

Support Ron Paul. Support our rights to our own bodies.

(Not sure where Paul stands on prostitution specifically. He does stand for bodily autonomy)

John henry said...: When I was on a cruise in the Mediterranean in 1969, in all the ports there were lots of bars named "Texas Bar", "Miami Bar" and so on.

They were generally OK places to drink but they also had lots of bar girls. They would come sit with lonely sailors and basically just talk. They could not be touched, they would not leave the bar with anyone. You bought them glasses of "champagne" and they sat and kept you company.

Myself, I never understood the attraction but they did a land office business.

I am more a George Higgins type: "I can understand why men go with whores. Sometimes you just want to get laid without having to listen to all the music before and after."

For that there was the alley's of Naples (and other ports)

William said...: I saw the sexual enounters on the new show, "Girls". They were joyless and icky. I can see the advantages of going to a prostitute.; 5/2/12, 11:28 AM
Toad Trend said...: "Support Ron Paul. Support our rights to our own bodies."

Yes. We all have rights to happy endings if we wish.

The money afterwards is for the companionship, not the sex.; 5/2/12, 1:50 PM
