Quote of the Day

Posted by Chris Spags on June 22nd, 2009 at 2:20 pm

This quote isn’t so great, but I want you guys to read this Slate piece on how as a result of the economy taking a crap, more and more women are getting into the sex trade. Also: There’s a market for 55 year-old women working as prostitutes? I don’t know what’s more depressing…that she has to do it or that someone would pay.

Take 55-year-old Jennifer of the Bronx, N.Y., who was laid off from her financial bookkeeping job: She talks about her entry into sex work with the shell-shocked detachment of someone who’s recently lost a loved one. “It’s hard. It’s an awful thing to have to do.”
