Economy Proof Hookers. God Bless 'Em!

The NY Daily News has a fascinating look at how the worlds oldest profession is fairing in the growing financial crisis.

"The market is down, business is down, but we feel it less," said Dylan, 24, a promotional model-turned-Manhattan prostitute. "We're still busy."

Dylan works for a Manhattan madam who runs a pair of prostitution dens north of Wall Street. Unlike the $4,000-an-hour girls of male fantasies or gubernatorial road trips, Madam Sadie's employees charge $260 for 60 minutes - or $160 for 30 minutes.

"The $1,000-an-hour girls are just not making it" with the economic downturn, the madam said. The faltering economy actually drove two of her newer employees to the madam's sex-peddling service from other careers."

It's good to know that the wealthy have to scale back and that even includes their paid sex budget. I feel a little closer to these rich folk now.

After looking at my poor 401K I've decided to move my money to the "mid-grade hooker call girl" fund. That exists right? Ok good.

I figured they'll always be in demand so long as there's Dungeons and Dragons and dad's that forgot their son's 18th b-day.



Do we even need to comment on the: "The market is down, business is down, but we feel it less."... yea I didn't think so.
