She's definitely good looking, but not that much more than your average good looking college student (and there are some very nice student bodies at my Uni) and defintley not worth the money he paid. For the money he paid, she better look like a 10.

The high fee was likely less about her looks and more about what she was willing to do for him.

I think it is the looks combined with he was "allowed" to do that cost so much.

I don't think he was paying for how she looked or for normal sex. That's why he couldn't have an affair or nail a staffer -- he was looking for something kinky, something a pro would do.

Edit: didn't mean to pile on -- lots of people posting simultaneously.

He was also paying for discretion. A mistress would sooner or later blab to the media or do something careless to expose the relationship. A high-priced prostitution ring protects its clients' confidentiality; indeed, that is the only way it can survive.

Understood, but a $100 hooker on the street (or whatever the going rate is...anyone know?) in most likelihood wouldn't know what the governor looked of NY looks like.

^ You'd be suprised. A prossie rang up a radio station here not that long ago, and outed the state's treasurer as a client.

What a f*cking hassle though -- she complained because he didn't want to use a condom for oral sex? He paid $4,300 for a girl who wouldn't perform oral on him without a condom? He's an idiot.

Yes, he is so smart that he is stupid. Although, a lot of smart people are idiot savants.

^ The Wall St. rumor mill churns something completely different. What I had heard was that he was gunning for unprocted a-sex. Maybe it was the Street's way at getting back at a much hated man.

Well, yeah. He was The Streets public (and private

I'll say it again. It is that expensive for 2 reasons.

1) it's manhattan and there are lots of guys that have money, so why not charge the maximum? It's also marketing. There's the adage that "you get what you pay for" so people think that paying more gets you better looks/personality (which matters a lot at this level). In general, it does. Compared to other markets, nyc is overpriced.

2) it's illegal. Were it not, there would be a lot more girls signing up to be escorts and prices would go down. Montreal is a perfect example. You can get gorgeous girls for a fraction of the cost in NY, and they'll be just as discreet as any high-end agency in NY. A girl like kristen would be $250/hr here. In fact, a lot of NYers come up for the weekends for just this reason.

Lastly, I can't imagine any girl at that level having unprotected sex for such a meager payment. It's just not worth it, and while they're not all intellectuals, most are not stupid (they can't be or they wouldn't cut it with that sort of clientele - most want a complete package) and are capable of weighing risk vs. reward. They are very aware of the risks as their livelihood depends upon their good health. A man that has UP sex with one prostitute is probably doing the same with others. It's just a bad idea all around for the girl. He was paying those rates for the first 2 reasons, not for unprotected sex.

Her last myspace login was 3/12/08. She put together that sad life story to justify being a hooker. Now watch this girl work her "15 minutes of fame".
Move over Paris Hilton, Superhead, etc., here comes Ashley (wearing a #9 on her knicks jersey).

You guys keeping saying his wife is nice looking and there are lots of nice looking girls running around. Is not just about the looks, it's all about the girl's skills.
