How old was the Spitzer prostitute?

[malaise]

I heard earlier that she lived in an apartment complex where the cheapest apartment was $3,500 and hers was $5,000.
This is not some poor woman trying to buy food for her children as a prostitute. This was a greedy, ambitious young woman who intended to have the good life by any means.

One more victim of this crazy consumer society.

1. 22.

[stevedeshazer]

3. You're scaring me.

!

[opihimoimoi]

30. She is staring at a movie deal, a book deal, and a lecture circut deal...

She is coming out of this a Millionaire...

She is an Inspiration for future hookers...a role model....

[malaise]

37. and maybe just maybe

A mega church :D

[opihimoimoi]

39. LOL, mega church followed by PentHouse and PlayBoy photo sessions

oral interviews notwithstanding...

[malaise]

41. No No No

Mega church for her old age pension fund where she can preach on TeeVee and tell other women why they shouldn't do what she did...so the money keeps rolling in. :rofl:

[stevedeshazer]

2. 22.

[Fresh_Start]

4. I thought she was about 22

I thought I read she was only 4-5 years older than Spitzers eldest daughter

[niceypoo]

5. He spent $80k on them, so I doubt there was just one...

[Olney Blue]

6. Maybe she was going to donate her money to charity, malaise.

:)

[malaise]

17. Was Charity the name of her

landlady? $5,000 a month rent - WTF!! :rofl:

[Olney Blue]

23. Wonder if the money paid to this Charity is tax-deductible.

Maybe not....

[malaise]

25. LOL

She may have some tax issues if she was collecting in cash. I'm still shaking my head at the thought of a 22 year old spending $5,000 a month on rent. At 22 I had a studio apartment with a bed, fridge, stove and lots of cushions. I couldn't even afford furniture.
Clearly I was an idiot.

[Olney Blue]

27. Yes, i was living in a duplex with a roomate and teaching school.

I could have been a contender.

[Faygo Kid]

7. She is all of 22. Ever hear of a power imbalance?

22 year old girl with a tough family background being used as a toy by the governor of New York.

Yeah, let's blame her. What a bullshit post.

[TheWraith]

12. Used as a toy? She volunteered, and made many thousands of dollars off it.

And as to her "tough family background," a family member of hers has said that she's thinking about going home to live with her parents for awhile. That's not the action of someone who truly had family issues.

[malaise]

15. Where did I blame her?

22 and living in a $5,000 apartment. She wanted to live a certain way and sold herself to do it. I'm not judging her but she gets no sympathy from me. She made that choice for a bling life. This is not some poor kid trying to pay for her college education or look after some seriously ill relative. She is not a victim.

[Schema Thing]

20. power imbalance?

he had the power to take his business to another hooker.

she had the power to expose him.

22 is an adult. My 16 year old gets to choose who she will be with sexually (I hope in the distant future, she probably hopes in the near future...but it's her choice).

[mondo joe]

34. I had sex with older men when I was younger than 22. I knew what I was doing.

She's not being blamed for anything.

[DS1]

8. hot

is that an age?

[LostinVA]

10. yes

[LostinVA]

9. I don't consider her a victim

[DS1]

13. As don't I

This isn't some sort of sex workers locked in a room for the rest of their useful lives story, she made the money, she had the power.

[malaise]

16. 100% correct n/t

[JI7]

29. i don't either, there are many women who could do the same thing

and make a lot of money. but it all comes down to choices. most women would still rather work longer hours for lower pay rather than become a prostitute or at another level maybe even stripper.

go to any restaurant , mall etc and you will see women even more attractive than Spitzer's prostitute who could probably make even more money than her.

but it's just not something most women could do.

(i'm talking about the average women in America. as there are cases , especially in foreign places where women are forced into prostitution or have that as the only option to get by)

i was actually happy to hear Spitzer's wasn't one of those foreign ones that don't really have a choice.

[onehandle]

11. Much older than George W. Bush's underage prostitutes. nt

[spanone]

14. she's definitely a pro....you don't pay that kind of money for an amatuer...he had that at home

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Evidently she was sitting on a gold mine.

:rofl:

[malaise]

19. LOL

Very good. :rofl:

[Lerkfish]

21. not sure where you're going with this, but I don't think blaming a prostitute is smart

unless they really really like sex, like a satyr complex, there are risks involved in that industry, even at the upper end.
not the least of which is you can end up dead because some john thinks your life is worthless.

I"m just sayin.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. Two friends were interviewed on Today Show this AM, and they said she was very kind

and helped the homeless and hungry.

[Darth_Kitten]

42. Everybody is cashing in with their 15 minutes of fame......

look, like, my bestest friend EVER is a ho, but like, she's a nice one. :sarcasm:

Sorry, I'm sick of all this coverage of absolutely useless people.

[BearSquirrel2]

24. It's HER body ...

Look buddy, it's her body and she can do with it as she pleases. There are pro football players who brutalize themselves on a weekly basis. There are pro boxers and MMF fighter who get pummeled every week. There is barely a few people who think we should ban these activities that are so clearly damaging to it's participants who make there livings in these fashions.

And then we have women who fornicate for money. In the fact that the deal is clear and transparent, they are just being honest. Because most sexual exchanges are culturally an expression of access to resources. I'm not saying there is nothing else there. But at the root of things, there is a fundamental trade there. The prostitutes are just honest, and it's not your body so it's none of your business.

[malaise]

26. I merely asked her age

since I could't believe the cost of her apartment. Clearly it's her body and I don't give a damn how she uses it, but don't expect my sympathy. Like all the other folks you mentioned, she made a clear choice.

[TorchTheWitch]

28. Why is anyone supposed to pity her?

She sold a service that she demanded and was able to get a decent price for. Good for her.

[BearSquirrel2]

31. I always wondered about this aspect of femminism ...

I didn't get how the women in Playboy were being exploited. If anything, I thought it was clearly the opposite as they were paid handsomely for posing. It's the guys paying the money for the mags that are being exploited.

[Frank Cannon]

38. Um... yes.

I don't know why more people don't see that.

[malaise]

40. Ditto n/t

[Darth_Kitten]

43. Well, when they go out and make it EVERYBODY's business by appearing on t.v....

on talk radio shows, on the internet, etc, etc, they can't claim the moral highground. They want the attention so they aren't victims, just opportunists.

Honest? Yeah, but honest what?

[EFerrari]

32. I heard on one of the chattering shows that she had been living in that apt

with some man who recently left for some reason. So, she might not have been paying that rent by herself.

What a mess. :(

[RedCappedBandit]

33. After the smoke clears

I'm sure she'll be able to live in whatever kind of an apartment she likes.

This is all too good for her career.

[dweller]

35. ageless

much like the practice. oops, should i have said profession?

either way, it takes 2.

36. Old enough to make sweet, sweet love
