Another interesting article (NYT of course), this one on Call Girls, Updated.

The sex industry is always an interesting topic, what with all the glamour and intrigue commonly attached to it. It is funny that the madame interviewed "Chae Lee" mentioned raking in about $20,000 in a week. This is about twice what a friend of mine made the entire year a a bit ago doing her part to keep kids out of prostitution and into stable housing up on the north shore. Funny how the other half lives.
