Unsurprising news of the day: Berlusconi in yet another scandal

Unsurprising news of the day: Berlusconi in yet another scandalJul 26th, 2009 at 10:00AM: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been taking a lot of flack lately, what with allegations of corruption and dictatorial leanings, his divorce, and his penchant for hiring attractive women for important positions. Now he's got to deal with charges that he's covering up archaeological remains on one of his many properties. The accusations stem from secret tapes made by call girl ...

Angry hookers protest ad costs

Angry hookers protest ad costsJun 3rd, 2009 at 4:00PM: Prostitutes in New South Wales are mad. Escalating advertising costs in local papers have prompted these street-walkers to take to the ... um ... streets. The Scarlet Alliance thus protested outside the NSW Parliament House, fighting for anti-discrimination laws to protect their rights. In addition to advertising, they want better treatment from banks, lenders and local councils. Sex work is ...

"Rule of 3" suffering in Thailand's red light districts

May 29th, 2009 at 6:00PM: The bar girls in Patpong, a destination for so-called "sex travelers," have a basic rule: three inches (duh), three minutes (duh), 3,000 baht (that's around $87).This year, they can add another "3" to it, one third. That's roughly how far tourism revenues are expected to fall in Thailand this year. A projected 35 percent drop means less business and less income in what is largely recognized as one ...

Vancouver hookers get media training for OlympicsMay 26th, 2009 at 5:00PM: A magnifying class will be held over Vancouver from February 12 to February 28 for the Winter Olympics, and Vancouver's prostitutes want to put their best feet forward.

Hookers and artists try to coexist in Amsterdam

Hookers and artists try to coexist in AmsterdamMay 5th, 2009 at 8:00AM: Amsterdam doesn't want some businesses to grow. It seems unusual in a recession (and yes, the Netherlands is feeling it, too), but I guess the situation isn't so dire that they can't be picky over there. So, the locals are fighting the business of naked people with the business of art – which clearly has no history of portraying the uncovered human form (feel free to chortle). The city of ...

Satisfy your lust in Baghdad (finally!)

Satisfy your lust in Baghdad (finally!)Apr 20th, 2009 at 8:00AM: According to the NY Times, Baghdad is getting safer, and people are looking to have a good time (though, this does stand in stark contrast to the suicide bombing I reported a few weeks ago). So, if you find yourself in Iraq's capital, stop by a nightclub, order a drink and nail a prostitute. For the best results, go to Saddoun Street, where you'll have plenty of choices. Or, you can dash off to ...

US gov't: Americans should avoid Mexican hookers

US gov't: Americans should avoid Mexican hookersFeb 24th, 2009 at 4:00PM: The travel advisory is back. An increase in violence has led the U.S.-Mexico border has led the U.S. State Department to renew its warning to Americans heading south of the border. But, this doesn't mean you should scratch Mexico from your list (I'm even heading down in a few weeks). You should just be careful. The announcement suggests that American tourists stick only to legitimate business and ...

Strippers abound in Tampa, as expected, for big game

Strippers abound in Tampa, as expected, for big gameJan 31st, 2009 at 11:00AM: There won't be many lonely nights in Tampa this Super Bowl weekend. Prostitutes, it seems, will be widely available. As one of these sex workers remarked, "Pimps see the Super Bowl as a moneymaking opportunity sent by God." So, if you're making the trek down to Florida for the biggest sporting event of the year, know that you won't be alone. Now, if street-corner encounters are not for you, ...

Can I have an extra pillow? I mean prostitute, of course

Can I have an extra pillow? I mean prostitute, of courseApr 9th, 2008 at 10:40AM: I learned something new today. Apparently, the coded way for a hotel guest to ask for a prostitute is "Can I have another pillow?" At least that is what Matt Rudd says in his very funny Times article about his life as a concierge in a 5-star hotel in London. It is well worth reading, even if one pillow is typically your speed. The whims of some luxury hotel guests are entertaining, to say the ...
