i know malarek's book has been extensively discussed on terb, but its interesting to read a review of it by a once v. popular New York sp, in todays Globe and Mail.

What a joke.

I almost spit my dinner reading this nugget:

"But there is no line between escorting and human trafficking, it's all the same industry, and when people are being tortured and killed to sustain it, it must be shut down."

Fucking priceless hyperbole there. Just the kind of flat, cardboard logic that Malarek uses: No fundamental difference between an empowered women choosing to earn $1000 a night and a woman kidnapped and forced to service men without any rights at all. Yup, same thing!

shame on the G and M.
how can they justify her as an unbiased reviewer of this book.
she is inherently biased and all credibility is vetoed.

they mite as well have had malarek do his own review.

The Globe should have hired our own Gen or any of our other fine ladies to critique that book. But, then saying they are not White sex slaves would probably not provoke much reader attention.

Dumb shit. Oprah's book club will lap it up.

I am very interested in getting a comment on this review by Genevieve of select. She may give us the perspective on the SP who wrote the review.
This is how Natalie McLennan closes her review,"It would be irresponsible of me to sit back and say nothing, now that I get it. I was not willing to join the fight against prostitution because it meant admitting I was a victim. Do I have the strength to walk down the street with my head held high and move on with my life once I've admitted I've been hurt? I do have a voice, and I will do everything I can to help the women and children who are forced to sell their bodies and, ultimately, their souls. Buy this book, read it, support it; by sharing the knowledge it carries, we can stop women and children from being enslaved in the sex industry.

All you have to do is look in these girls' eyes to know that they are not happy, not prostitutes by choice. Eyes are a recurring theme in Malarek's book: Johns never look in the girls' eyes, and the sparkle disappears from a child prostitute's eyes. I never opened my eyes when I was with a client. And I kept them closed until now."

Natalie McLennan is the author of The Price: My Rise and Fall as Natalia, New York's #1 Escort.

Looks like she was talked into writing this "review" as part of the PR campaign for her own book. Suddenly revealing that you are a "victim of the sex trade" is a well established route for past-it escorts/ porn stars to cash in on their one-time notoriety. Classic example is Linda Lovelace. IIRC, LL wrote an "expose" of her own "exploited" past in a memoir several years after she was no longer fuckable enough to make movies.

Sad stuff.

Maybe we should write a review of Malarek's trash.

 

[phail]

it is quite obvious she was "influenced" in her "review"

Popular culture

The key to understanding the mainstream press is to recognize that all of society's problems would disappear if men didn't have any sexual impulses.

Well said.

Aw geez, what am I doing wrong?

" .....I had the best experience you could hope for when selling your body: I was never physically, emotionally or mentally abused. I was well paid and treated to a life of luxury. And even under those circumstances, I suffered from post-traumatic stress, had the money I earned stolen by the man I was working for, was arrested and spent a month in jail, saw my drug use became abuse and then addiction, and finally became suicidal; I almost threw myself off the roof of a six-storey building in Manhattan after I was released. I still sleepwalk and have nightmares, even after hours of therapy. .."

My best experience while selling my body has never included:

- theft
- arrest or jail time
- drug addiction
- suicide

Exactly. Traci Lords is another. Such a scumbag.

Malarek

The girls should chime in more here. There appear to be quite a few that are volunteers and quite happy with the off the street work. Why can Maya Blue charge $1000, ask for your picture and be selective? She is not under duress as far as I can see. Many others see this as a way to make the required funds to do something else in life. They should respond and tell us their views.

I for one would prefer to see someone who is comfortable with what she is doing. That is why I have avoided the mattress on the floor or multi party agencies. Discretion is out the window if there is someone in the next room.
Molly and Madison are marketing themselves like mad. Don't tell me they are not enjoying themselves. I am afraid to see them, feeling inadequate before I even show up. Don't flame me on that, just an expression. I'm sure they are a multi party agency worthy of a visit.

Plus, I have no problem looking into the SP's eyes. In fact it is mandatory and should be part of the true courtesan experience.

Malarek is right in that the pimped SW crowd needs to be eradicated. But the others who chose to work this business professionally and quietly should be left alone. I don't really want to be in this hobby either, but sometimes one is left with few options.

I am speaking about too many issues in one thread. Bottom line, every facet of life has its terrible side, and this is no different. But eradicating the weeds should not involve removing all the good grass at the same time.

 

[phail]

well what fraction of the profession do you think falls under the "malarek category" we all agree its not all.

 

[Rockslinger]

Victor was on the CP24 phone in show about a month or so ago. 3 or 4 escorts called in and said they are happy, healthy and wise. Victor said he didn't believe them. He said they have no business being happy, health and wise if they are escorts.

 

[phail]

id be shocked if he has never seen an sp.

Kinda reminds me of the time pornstar Sasha Grey went on the Tyra Banks show and they put her down as some poor victim being abused because she is in porn and Sasha told them she makes lots of money and enjoys what she does.

 

[slidebone]

I'll chime in on this thread too.

Picking up on the "victim of the sex trade story" as a way to get media attention, did anyone notice that Ashley Dupre, the escort that was at the heart of the Eliot Spitzer scandal, used the same line at first?

She claimed, at first, to have been abused and such. Fox news brought in commentators who chimed in that she was typical, that all escorts were victims of abuse, etc.

I immediately assumed, based on my experience, that her story was complete bullshit.

And of course her story turned out to be lies, designed to parlay her infamy into her music career. No broken home. No story of abuse. But a story that resonates with the media.
