LOL, Did anyone tell them Jack Ryan dropped out? Sex workers to NY for GOP
Sex pros get
ready for party
BY JOSE MARTINEZ
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Monday, June 28th, 2004
With thousands of Republicans set to invade the city this summer, high-priced escorts and strippers are preparing for one grand old party.

Agencies are flying in extra call girls from around the globe to meet the expected demand during the Aug. 30-Sept. 2 gathering at Madison Square Garden.

"We have girls from London, Seattle, California, all coming in for that week," said a madam at a Manhattan escort service. "It's the week everyone wants to work."

"It's going to be big," agreed one operator at a midtown escort service.

Charging from $300 to upwards of $1,000 for an hour of companionship and a whole lot more, escorts said they can always count on conventioneers for big business.

"It doesn't matter what party you come from," said Robyn Few, a $500-an-hour California call girl who now runs Sex Workers Outreach Project, an advocacy group. "When you want to buy sex, you will."

That's the hope among escort services expecting a windfall from randy Republicans.

4. *snarf*
I wonder who has the bigger "adult entertainment" tab, when everything's added up -- the Republicans or the Democrats. (I also wonder which party has more convention-goers just coupling up among themselves for free.)

From what I've read, a truly amazing amount of porn will be rented in Boston and New York hotel rooms this summer.

5. We need to raise money to pay these workers to take pics
Now that's a fun fundraiser. We can pay them $1,000 for pictures of a politician tied up to the bed naked. An extra $500 if the politician is wearing black leather. An extra $1000 for wearing women's underwear, etc.

See, capitalism isn't all bad.

6. It shows the hypocrisy. . .

9. I can verify this completely
One of my many activist hats is being a sexworker's rights activist.

I have had conversations with a number of sexworkers about political conventions, and they all say the same thing;

The GOP convention is great for business; They are desperate for sex, especially kinky tricks, and they have lots of money. In addition, corporate lobbyists often pay the fare for highly placed Republicans.

On the other hand, the Democratic convention is deader than can be for working girls. Democrats bring their wives and girlfriends along and don't look to rent any companionship.
