Call Girls and Strippers Readied For Republican Convention
New York Daily News | June 29 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.
"We've got everything organized - the hotels, the flights, the
advertisements," said another escort service operator. "We'll probably
have 60 girls that week, instead of the usual 30."
Political conventions have long been a boon for the sex industry.
At the 1992 Democratic convention in New York, bikini-clad female oil
wrestlers dropped their tops on a flatbed truck in front of Madison
Square
Garden.
At the 1996 Republican convention in San Diego, an escort service in
search of delegate dollars changed its name to GOP: Good Old-Fashioned
Pleasure.
While many escort agencies operating on the sly out of Manhattan
hotels
and apartment buildings welcome the influx of potential customers,
others
are wary of increased police attention.
"We're just being very secure," said a woman who runs an agency in
midtown. "So we won't be taking on any out-of-towners."
NYPD spokesman Sgt. Kevin Hayes said, "Our quality-of-life and crime
reduction efforts will remain intact."
Tracy Quan, author of the autobiographical novel, "Diary of a
Manhattan
Call Girl," said she worries cops will crack down on the most visible
sex
workers.
"I get depressed whenever there's a big political convention because I
know the street girls are going to be hassled, arrested and treated
like
criminals," Quan said. "All in the name of 'cleaning up' our city for
these people from out of town."
The players on the legal end of the city's sex industry have no such
worries - and strip club owners are salivating at the prospect of
crowds
equipped with bunches of big bills.
Clubs have started booking private parties for delegates anxious to
ogle
topless beauties after a day of watching fully clothed politicians
boast
about family values.
"We have our show down to a science," said Lonnie Hanover, a spokesman
for
Scores, the upscale topless club. "We'll be full every night with what
we
think are the best-looking girls in the industry."
Hanover said Scores - which recently opened a branch just blocks from
the
Garden - has lined up several big-name entertainers for the
convention.
"But we don't reveal them," he said.
This is a classic post ... GOD! I'm at a loss for a witty remark ...
C'mon someone! Politicians can easily be described as whores for selling
themselves to special interests and big business ....
aaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!
Rumors are that Tony and Jean have their bags already packed with S & M
paraphernalia, eagerly awaiting the trip to NYC to blow their wads (and
money, too) on dozens of hookers.
