A few months back, CC covered the College Callgirl, a college student who went on Craigslist and basically put herself up for sale in the personals section. Not prostitution in the virtual world, mind you, (which is also very common these days) but actual prostitution via the C-List.

Not surprising that this is going on all the time, since Craigslist is free, available to everyone 24/7, immensely popular, constantly changing up its listings and crawling with creepy people.

Becoming a hooker is getting easier, thanks to growing technology and the Internet and the fact that hookers are learning how to use it. Hookers are getting smarter! Noooo!

The NY Times reports 70 prostitution arrests in one town alone over the past year, (Nassau County is freaky!) and the story of eight women who traveled to Nassau from all over the country to make some money the hard way. Literally.

Here’s a recent interview with the College Callgirl herself, and it’s pretty interesting. Some highlights:

How often do you use Craigslist to find clients?

I posted ads in the Erotic Services several times a week. My first ad was something like “College girl needs rent help.” I basically said I wasn’t a pro and I wasn’t a supermodel—just a cute, regular girl willing to utilize her talents in exchange for a donation to her “college fund.” Most of those ads [up there] are escort agencies, so I got tons of responses. I’ve also used it as a sex delivery service when I was looking to fulfill a specific fantasy or just too lazy to leave the house. Read More »

Being a hooker isn’t the safest occupation a girl can find herself in; what with all those dark alleyways, freaky Johns, and giant shoes.

But for whatever reason, someone has taken it upon themselves to make it a littler safer—and a lot more futuristic.

The Wired Blog is reporting about a new invention called Platforms from the Aphrodite project, which are—you guessed it—platform heels with a little added science.

These high-tech pumps have a GPS tracking device and alarm installed inside, and once the alarm is set off, the prostitute’s exact location is transmitted to either the police or sex worker’s rights groups.

Platforms are in development right now, and can be tried out (by hookers? Average people?) at Gallery Aferro in Newark, New Jersey in September. Read More »

Now, if you had millions of dollars, tons of fame, and routinely saw yourself on the cover of gossip magazines, you’d think about what you wore to the grocery store, right? I mean, maybe you wouldn’t get dressed to the nines every single day, but you’d at least try to find some cute, comfy things to wear in case the paparazzi happened to be stationed outside your car. Because you’re famous. Famous people get their picture taken.

You’d want to look good, right?

Not if you’re Britney Spears.

These new photographs confirm my suspicions that Ms. Spears has no mirrors in her house. And if she does have them, they’re magic mirrors, which tell her she looks completely normal and tasteful in half a shirt and daisy dukes.

Does B.S (ha, that’s funny) dress like a hooker because she’s kind of unhinged? Is it because she thinks it’s the only way to land a man? Are those short shorts and midriff baring tops an unconscious illustration of low self-esteem, or are they a shield for a woman who doesn’t know any other way to deal with the world? Could she have a missing fashion gene? Is she going blind? Read More »
