You Thought You Knew Prostitutes? You Don’t Know Prostitutes

You Thought You Knew Prostitutes? You Don’t Know Prostitutes

Glenn T. Stanton

The president’s Secret Service detail, preparing for his visit to Colombia, took some time to unwind and enjoy the local flavor. We all know the sordid details. But the New York Times today gives us more detail on the matter, some very important detail.

These very high-level men did not consort with prostitutes. No, these ladies were at a level commensurate with their clients. They were escorts. Our Paper of Record performs an important community service, giving these two ladies the opportunity to clarify the difference. One woman, who declined to give her name, explains:

The price alone [of $800], she said, indicates that she is an escort, not a prostitute. “You have higher rank,” she said. “An escort is someone who a man can take out to dinner. She can dress nicely, wear nice makeup, speak and act like a lady. That’s me.”

Get it? An escort is not a prostitute. She is something else altogether. Our “All the News that’s Fit to Print” reporter continues,

She was dismayed, she said, that the news reports have described her as a prostitute as though she walked the streets picking up just anyone.

“It’s the same, but it’s different,” she said, indicating that she is much more selective about her clients and charges much more than a streetwalker. “It’s like when you buy a fine rum or a BlackBerry or an iPhone. They have a different price.

She trolls for clients inside fancy buildings, not on the street. Please. But the article describes a tussle between the escort and her client the next morning as she started to leave. The Secret Service agent tried to pay her about about $30. She informed the rate was more like $800. Apparently that clear difference between an escort and common hooker was lost on him. But he should have known, because prostitutes — I imagine — demand payment before delivery. Apparently escorts don’t. After hotel security got involved, the agent finally offered her $225, which was close to the $250 she owed her pimp — or client-referral professional — for the hook-up.

Apparently there are fine, but important nuances, in the sex-worker hierarchy.

Only a moron does not know the price before accepting the service.

Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?
Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course…
Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds?
Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!
Churchill: Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

LOL - I loved that Photoshop too and had forwarded it to my political friends.

What might be getting missed is that prostitution is LEGAL in Colombia. Saw that in an article today and it blew my mind. The Secret Service guys surely knew that and were probably high-fiving over the planned party.

It's "Call Girl". When they're found dead it's "Hooker".

Slick Willie in all his glory. :-)

I guess an “Escort” makes all the difference. /sarc

Sadly I have known several prostitues or oversexed gals. One especially I liked very much. Pretty and intellgent but she had fallen in with the wrong group. Several of us tried to help her, got her a good waitressing job, helped her get away from the druggies, and the like.

She and I used to like to do crossword puzzles backwards. No clues, you put in words then make the clues to fit.

More than once shhe would snuggle up to me at The Local Watering Hole and when things were quiet she would stand up and announce to everyone that you couldn’t call her a whore because whores get paid and she gives it away. She did that to embarrass me.

If I would give her a ride home more than once she would lift her blouse and put them on the glass for pedestrians...even police.

She did have health problems. The guy she claimed she loved beat her often and once broke her skull with a hammer. She kept going back to him though.

Eventually I gave up. A short time later she died by putting heroin through her eyes.

I miss her.

With a nod to the FX show “Archer”.


Sterling Archer: Oh my god, you killed a hooker!
ISIS Comptroller Cyril Figgis: Callgirl! She was a callgirl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril, when they’re dead, they’re just hookers

Makes you wonder why an unmarried Secret Service agent would lose his job over legal prostitution while the married Slick Willy got a pass over Monica and his illegal perjury. If you’ve got enough power, the rules don’t apply to you.

If Drudge had any balls he would post it.. I’m not knocking him if he doesn’t; I can not imagine the hassle. Watch out Jim R.
