They are NOT glamorous in real life like they are in the movies (except for transvestites, but thats another subject). Elliot paid for his playmate to be glamorous, pretty and most of all, disease free. I'm sure some of the $ went to pay for the venue as well, because I'm sure a man of Elliot's stature needs to get his groove on at a level of elegence to which he is accustomed.

Then, if the old man fell asleep on my arm, I\'d be forced to chew it off so I could get away. He\'d eventually wake up and see that he was laying on top of a dismembered arm, have a heart attack and die. Then I\'d be accused of killing an old man and leaving my arm behind as evidence. I\'d report to work where people would notice that I only had one arm or I\'d have to make a fake arm with a cast on it, but they would still be suspicious. My students would ask, "Miss is that a doll arm coming out of your shirt? Why is your hand so little and hard?" and would call the police when they heard the story on the news.

All she\'s doing is helping her sell her wares. I didn\'t see the interview and don\'t plan on it.<br><br>As for what she did that\'s worth $4,000 per visit... I cosign with what Plantsmantx said below... it\'s really not about whether or not what she did is worth the money - all that matters is whether the men who pay her that much money believe she\'s worth it. All she has to do (or her pimp has to do) is convince them that they are getting their money\'s worth. <br><br>Also, men like Spitzer, who pay that much money for sex, as opposed to picking up someone on the street, or calling a number at the back of some newspaper, prefer a certain amount of privacy and anonymity and service that a "high class" call girl agency can provide much more assuredly. <br><br>And remember these women are essentially products to be bought and sold. They are no longer human beings. And just like any other product, if I open a shop, selling suits and claim that they are better than all the rest, and slap a price tag on them that trumps the cost of most suits, even though they may not be any better than the average suit, I immediately raise profile. I may not attract as many buyers, since my suits are pricey, but I will attract those who can afford them, who believe that they are getting something better than the rest. There are some people out there who still believe that the cost of an item is indicative of its quality, which isn\'t always true.</div>\

Just a couple weeks ago, Eliot Spitzer was cleared of ANY wrongdoing, which shows that if you are privileged enough, wealthy enough, connected enough, the rules do not apply. And to add to the entitlement he apparantly feels, he decides to re-enter the public arena in a bold, shameless way, by penning an advice column to PE Obama in the Washington Post last Sunday - EIGHT MONTHS after the incident! <br><br>A married Governor of New York and former Attorney General, who made his name bringing down whore houses, betrays the public trust, engages in financial gymnastics to hide his penchant for prostitution, partipates in arrangements to transfer a prostitute across state lines, just wants us to forget and to blame the prostitute? He should have thought about his wife and three daughters before he engaged in such risky nehavior. At least,  Ashley appears to be taking responsibility for her role and expressing remorse. <br><br>I say to Ashley Dupre - DO FUCKING YOU because Eliot Spitzer is doing it for HIMSELF!<br><br>T.</div>\

This is one of two culture shocks that we experienced over the last 6 months that was both foreign to AA and totally out of sinc with our values and still not worthy of discussion.  (1) Very few if any black men would pay over $4k to have sex with a woman.  Many black men can\'t afford black women who offer themselves for free.  Our people need basic jobs. It was major culture shock to know this measure of desperation even existed.  (2) White men flying into a one day meeting on a private jet.  There are a few entertainers, athletes, or maybe Oprah who can afford to do this.  But for the most part, to see the auto CEOs flying to a meeting on private jet did further damage to the psyche of the average black man who possibly will never dream of the opportunity to do this. Let\'s get back to reality and issues that are real for us.  This woman is not worthy of our thoughts and to try and relate to her is unthinkable with all we have to contend with.</div>\

I think that most human\'s compromise their ideals/values from time to time, but none of us wants to think of ourselves "that way." Many men or women marry for $, go into certain professions/jobs for the $, don\'t quit jobs they dislike because of the $, put up with various degrading circumstances in their lives because of the $, etc.... Not everyone has the constitution to be a prostitute, but we can all compromise if the truth be known.<br><br>I think he patronized the "Escort" service because he just wanted the sex. Getting a mistress or girlfriend is waaay more complicated and is probably seen as an emotional betrayal in addition to a sexual one. Its kinda like Bill proclaiming that he didn\'t have sex w/ Monica Lewinsky. He\'s the only one who thinks he didn\'t. <br><br>And if you think this was scandalous, think of how much more scandalous it would have been for him to pick up some alley cat from off the street. MILLIONAIRE TRIES TO BUY $50 HOOKER (Details at 11). I was shocked to see streetwalkers for the 1st time in my early 20\'s. I was shocked by how poor & beat up looking & plain they looked. I was expecting them to have thigh boots, Afro wigs and shiny clothes like they had in the movies. But actually, they look very unappealing. They are NOT glamorous in real life like they are in the movies (except for transvestites, but thats another subject). Elliot paid for his playmate to be glamorous, pretty and most of all, disease free. I\'m sure some of the $ went to pay for the venue as well, because I\'m sure a man of Elliot\'s stature needs to get his groove on at a level of elegence to which he is accustomed. Again, I can\'t imagine him doing the deed in a Ho Motel with hourly rates.<br><br>I hope Elliot has a successful rehab and comes back stronger than ever.</div>\

Spitzer the moral crusader and his delicious secret...to him it was worth it to have an alternate existence where he could live out his fantasies.    He could have the <i>best</i> of both worlds.<br><br> I don\'t blame Ashlee.   Coincidentally, the other day I came across a special on HBO about some brothel..can\'t recall the name.   The thing that struck me was the single-mindedness of the prostitutes.    It was ALL about the cash.    They seemed impatient with any other discussion than how they could get the johns to hand over their credit cards.   They were charging between 1000-1500 dollars per hour.    I thought those women looked beat-up and porn-starry.    Their eyes never seemed to quite focus.    It was rather unpleasant, and I found the whole thing VERY dark.     <br><br>Ashlee, by comparison looks very young and untouched.    Her  looks come primarily from perfect skin and healthy hair.   Other than that, she comes off as the girl next door, she doesn\'t look "sick",  and maybe that\'s a selling point. <br><br>I believe her when she says she didn\'t know who he was...the women in the HBO special wanted that transaction, then on to the next.

This is also why ,on some level, I was sympathetic to Monica Lewinsky. Sure, she made bad choices too and that should not be forgotten, but the then President of the United States - Bill Clinton - took advantage of her and (continued to) publicly humiliated his wife with his philandering. Of course, during the impeachment, I behaved like a rabid partsan but his actions were indefensible. <br><br>By all accounts, Monica has achieved some wonderful milestones in her life since then and I hope that Ashley Dupre can do the same. But, I will say this, Miss Ashley,  that come-hither pose in People magazine was a l\'il ill-advised, imo. Keep your wits about you, girl!<br><br>T.</div>\
