Telling Mom You're A Hooker Isn't Always So Horrible
Yesterday, one of Jezebel's brother sites, Gawker, wrote about "Debauchette," one of the several prostitutes who appeared on the Diane Sawyer 20/20 special about working girls. Even though Debauchette's voice was altered and her appearance masked, her mother recognized her because of the idiosyncratic cadence of her voice and her gestures. "I listened to what you had to say in the interview and I expect you feel you have thought all of this through," Debauchette's mom said. (All things considered, a reasonably calm response.) Karly Kirchner of sex-worker site Bound, Not Gagged recounts a similarly accepting response from her mom, but adds that she wants her mother to start reading her posts on the blog. More »
"[High end prostitutes] enjoy it...They feel like they're not being taken advantage of any longer—they understand the situation, and they don't get their heart broken. It's just like being a mortician: You could just see people that are dead and you don't get involved with them emotionally. Same thing as a working girl! Ha-ha-ha!" — "Jane," a former NYC madam interviewed in this week's New York Observer. [Observer]

Dear Florida Governor Charlie Crist, If You Can't Charge Joe Francis With Hate Speech, Here's An Idea
Joel Stein's story about the jailbound Joe Francis in the April GQ begins with Joe remembering the first time they met one another, six years ago; God it was great. They'd been in the Girls Gone Wild tour bus, watching the crew tape some chick on a bunk bed. Joe had told Joel to fill a Mike's Hard Lemonade bottle with water, and the girl poured it on her tits and shoved the neck of the bottle in her pussy, and sometime around then her cell phone rang. The number, she said, was her boyfriend's. So Joe Francis flipped it open gleefully — you can almost see him doing it — and announced his identity and that he was watching the caller's girlfriend shove a Mike's Hard Lemonade up her vagina. "His eyes went manic," Joel recalls of the moment, and no doubt they went manic again in fond memory of the event, because now he is in jail, although we can't seem to get rid of him, as evidenced by his charming statements touting his footage of famed Spitzer hooker Ashley Dupre at the tender age of 17: "Our footage is from when she was 18-years-old, and it doesn't get much better than that. Eliot Spitzer has put some miles on that girl!" But wait, the depressing part is here:More »

What, You Assumed The Blind Guy Would Be A Faithful Husband? Did None Of You See Ray?
Oh, what? You thought blindness would be an effective antidote to the old "wandering eye" problem? Wrong! Being blind just means crap taste in hotels. But here's the part we don't get: why, after you've been illicitly screwing some broad at the 94th street Days Inn do you take your wife back there? And what's more highbrow, Days Inn for a blind man in New York, or T.G.I. Friday's for a closeted gay and his orgy club in New Jersey? Is any of this as highbrow as getting called "guido" by the Jersey shore posse of Ashley Alexandra Dupre? Glamocracy's Megan Carpentier and I discuss all this, Obama's mystery brother in RED CHINA, and how the unprecedented JP Morgan-Bear Stearns-Fed bailout came together because the JP Morgan investment banking chief and the new Bear Stearns CEO were frat brothers at Duke. Oh yeah, and Obama is about to address the subject of his insane pastor who thinks white people control everything. That's happening now! Liveblog it, folks! More »

This Week We Talked Prostitutes, Poops, And Panties
- We discovered that ( now-former ) New York Governor Eliot Spitzer goes to whores.
- We also discussed Ashley Alexandra Dupre, aka "Kristen", the woman who was allegedly the whore in question. Her new single is off the chain!
- We commisserated with Spitzer's poor wife, Silda.
- Bet disgraced Glamour blogger Mike Cherico is happy about the Spitzer scandal! It is one of the few things that makes him look like less of an asshole.
- Speaking of assholes, did ya hear? Pooping is the new hot shit!

Why High-Class Whores Are Worse For America Than Crackwhores
What's so wrong about prostitution? I didn't read a real answer until I saw this essay by a former madam. See, it's actually not that it attracts girls who've been abused and wronged and neglected. It's actually that it attracts girls who've been raised happily and healthily and self-esteem-brimmingly, like you know fucking who, and that, you know, it tricks them into believing it's some sort of "profession."
Then they got addicted to the money and the lifestyle. And then one day, usually between the ages of 25 and 28, once they'd developed that knowing, experienced look that clients instinctively disliked, they found that themselves in a classic bind: they were addicted to high living but could no longer pay for it; they had no marketable skills; and years of late nights and lazy days had left them with no self-discipline.Hey, speaking of that "instinctive, knowing look" — if you think this whole thing has aged Silda, whoring hasn't done wonders for Ashley, which is why we're still using the "pretty" picture, okay guys?

Ashley Alexandra Dupre: What The World Needs Now? Or Just "What We Want"?
Oh no, really? Another day of this? Doesn't she get old? (No!) So what, did they talk to her pimp or something? Is her song the most-downloaded thing on some website somewhere? Did Penthouse come calling? Whatever it was, the guy who owns my deli was checking out my Daily News when I came back from picking up coffee this morning, so I guess it's just ..."what we want," so to speak. (I'd say, you know, "DO NOT WANT," but for fear of using "dated slang.") Why Glamocracy Megan and I would still, even though we are whores, rather trade places with Silda Spitzer than Ashley Alexandra Dupre, what Obama should say about his crazy pastor, and OMG those Iraqi soldiers they're interviewing on CNN are hottt, after the jump.

Admit It, Boo. Ashley Alexandra Dupre's Mediocre Pitch Controlled Voice Is Starting To Grow On You!
- "After the first play, a lot of the reaction was negative. But after the second play, it became, `Play that song again,' and `Hey, that song's not bad." That's the program director of New York's Z100 discussing lovely Ashley Alexandra "Kristen" Dupre's song "What We Want." (Some mashups here.) You might recall the same phenomenon surrounding "Hollaback Girl." I'm making this my first item pretty much solely because it's probably my last chance to run this picture of Ashley and her mom. [Houston Chronicle]
- Obama's crazy pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright hates America and he thinks all black people should, too, and Obama's excuse is that he missed church the day Wright blamed the U.S. for September 11. [ABC News]
- The good news: 13% of registered voters still think Obama is Muslim. [National Review]
- The Clinton campaign sent out a nasty letter about how Obama is a total loser. Then the Obama campaign annotated it to make Clinton look like the loser. It sounds like a loser move, but I think they succeeded anyway. [NPR]

What Does Ashley Alexandra Dupré Teach Us About Our Fucked Economy?
This our favorite picture of Ashley Youmans aka Ashley Alexandra Dupré aka "Kristen." She will forever be known as Eliot Spitzer's whore, even though he fucked several whores including someone named "Sienna," maybe even someone with a higher "diamond rating" than Ashley. Maybe she will find a gig performing her soulful ballads, or maybe she could sing backup in Gennifer Flowers' band. Perhaps she and her mother, who seemed so proud her daughter could "handle someone like the governor," will be offered a reality show or a self-help show or a mother-daughter Playboy spread a la the Kardashians. Who knows what opportunities the economy will afford young Ashley now that her mere image has proven capable of driving such tremendous internet traffic? Well, executives at Viacom and Harper Collins sort of know. But until we do, we're posting this picture to evoke the era when pretty young 22-year-olds hid their prostitution businesses for fear of corrupting families, and talking about Keith Olbermann, John McCain, Camile Paglia, the new five dollar bill, George Clooney... Glamocracy Megan is back! Jump for our lust. More »
