Ashley Dupre, aka Kristen the pricey escort that former Govenor Spitzer enjoyed, has a blog post on Global Grind about the neverending Hookergate controversy, which flared up this week with the Post's speculation that Spitzer would run for office again. Which prompts the aspiring singer to write, "I read the front page of the NY Post this week and was happy to see that Mr. Spitzer is moving on with his life and considering getting back into politics. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone deserves a second chance. Me too, right? Well, apparently not. Why? Because many people are liars and hypocrites. Let me give you just a few examples of what I keep encountering, despite my best efforts to move on."
And she does give a few examples. "Third, speaking of perpetuating the problem and feeding into the stereotype, let me tell you about most book publishers - they are worse than the tabloids. I won’t give them the 'tell all' they are demanding and won’t glorify and sensationalize 'how exciting the life of a high-priced NYC escort must be,' as one major publisher put it. Sorry folks, my life wasn’t like a 'Sex And The City' episode."
Then Dupre blasts women who look down on her for having been a prostitute, "I see this all over New York City. Some women aren't as vindictive, but still dive into relationships with wealthy guys who they don't love or even find attractive, but they stay in it because they have a nice home, a car and spending money...I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things. They toy with them, flirt, go on dates, have sex and then drop hints about that new dress at the store down the street or being short on rent money - and the guys deliver it. This is a dishonest relationship."
Warning: If you go to Dupre's post on Global Grind, her new song will start playing. But Post music critic Dan Aquilante likes it, writing that "with her looks and reputation, [it] might just launch her career in a new direction. The tune is a slow, introspective piano ballad where Dupre's middle range pours like burnt honey. There is an honesty in her singing that says she's believing it when she sings lyrics such as 'If I was faithful, if I was true, If I loved no one else but you.'"





I have more respect for prostitution than I do for the advertising industry.
You'd think her mouth would be too busy with 'other things' to keep yammering on like this. Someone shut her up and burn The Post in effigy for putting her on the front page - AGIAN!
Hey remember that time you were a dirty talentless whore?
Oh right...
PS how much?
She's just mad because she had to lower her rack rates due to all the unwanted publicity. But the old corporate rate still applies...
pours like burnt honey
I do not think this simile means what it's author thinks it means.
I hate to admit it, but she does have a point. There are lots of women who are as she described. They are no better than her and they have no right to look down on her for having been a prostitute.
...but the rest of us do. Hooker.
Yes, she's right on the money about all those "respectable" housewives who marry for money.
Basically, they suck cock for cash just like she used to - but at least Ashley gave a fixed price up front and the guys got what they paid for (unlike the suburban housewives - who take the cash and then "get a headache" when it's time to ante up with the sex)!
Also, is that an entire lyric, or just a part of one? Because I can't figure out how there could be honesty in a bunch of half-sentences strung together with commas.
Or maybe it's a "complete the following sentences" type thing:
-If I was faithful...
-If I was true...
-If I loved no one else but you...
then I wouldn't have had sex for money.
?
Another lazy pig who doesn't want to get a real job like most women, including myself who have morals & pay our taxes. Sorry not all women sell their bodies for sex ... and then go on Diane Sawyer to tell all about it; if you want to try to have a normal life after fucking a pig like Spitzer, do not go 20/20 & give out your exit to where you live prostitute!!
yeah, some of us ladies actually have jobs! however, many don't wear tops such as those. that's just in poor taste.
You're just envious because she's got a better rack than you do.
Exactly! If didn't want any more negative attention, she wouldn't have paraded around to talk shows and newspapers giving interviews. it's called laying low for a while.
Have you heard a peep from Monica Lewinsky in the past 8 years? Nope!
Excuuuuse me? The media haven't been goading her to appear on their stupid TV shows and debase herself even more? When it comes to whoring, Ms. Dupre has nothing on Diane Sawyer.
-not that I'm defending the jiggly skank...
Look,sexisicilian
Every man pays for it - and every woman charges a fee.
Some women call it prostitution, and charge a fixed fee for a fixed range of services.
Others call it marriage - and get a lifetime 50% claim on the man's money - and frequently refuse to give the man the sex he paid for and deserves ["not tonight, honey, I have a headache"]!
the brute has spoken.
"Oh, you brute!" - what, are you going to hit me with your purse now?
She is absolutely correct.
yes she is:
"Sorry folks, my life wasn’t like a 'Sex And The City' episode."
i think it was Girls Gone Wild, no?
exactly! there's a reason 'Sex and the City' is a FICTIONAL tv show.
Yep, at least she's honest. Women are so jaded these days. Guys with money have to be extra careful (And get a solid Pre-Nup)
If anyone needs proof of this, go down to Stone Street thursdays & fridays for Happy Hour. Its like a meatmarket for gold diggers.
Remember guys - if you ain't no punk, holla "we want pre-nup, we want pre-nup" cause it's something that you need to have, cause if she leaves your ass she's gonna leave with half!
Word.
No, Ashley, we actually view women who "dive into relationships with wealthy guys" about the same as we view you.
I'm gonna go now, k? I left the 20 on the chest of drawers.
yeah! preach it sister! hookers just can't catch a break in this mean ol' world...
Her mention of women whoring out for clothes, dinner, drinks etc I think is pretty spot on – at least for NYC. Just the other night I was sitting at my local bar in Brooklyn when this quite attractive woman started talking to me. Fine and dandy – I certainly don’t mind that, but after her drink glass has languished empty for a bit she asks me to point blank – “are you buying me a drink?” I politely decline – a few more minutes go by and she asks me again. Once more I rebuff her mooching ways. Finally after I spur her 3rd attempt at a freebie she exclaims “ What’s with guys around here, in Manhattan I never even have to ask for a drink” I reply “this is Brooklyn darling, get used to it”
Sad that her and a lot of other women feel entitled because they have a nice rack and dowey eyes…..if she was one bust size bigger a free drink she could have had…..
Come on man... a drink is like $6, the lady at the top of the page charges $4,000 or so...
That's just because she's upfront that giving her money will lead to sex. You know how bars near Grand Central are overpriced because they're selling to the one and done crowd? Same thing.
Hey Yamon, hows your love life?
Mr Mel, thats not very nice, I give Yamon props for not falling for that. Why should he spend his hard earned money because she is batting her eyes and pushing her chest out?
But that chick is right, when I used to work at MSK and attended their fund raises, I can't begin to tell you the amount of arm candy I used to see attached to older men. Not all of them were middle aged, balding and fat, but a goodly amount of them had 10-15 years on their companions.
A lot of women think they have a God given right to manipulate men they don't even know into buying them a drink.
My attitude is - if you don't have enough cash to buy your own drink, why the hell are you in a bar?
If I don't know you, you are not getting any free liquor for me - I am not running a charity for drunks!
If you want a free drink for me, you are going to have to EARN that $ 12 bucks - on your knees in the men's room!
and you are probably in one hell of a high quality relationship with that attitude!
Actually, I'm single by choice, because I do not like golddiggers and I'm not interested in subsidizing a trophy wife.
As much as she should shut up and get of the media spotlight, she does make a good point. Not all women of course, but there are some who are just in it for the money and power.
It's like that t-shirt. "Gold Diggers. Like Prostitutes, only smarter"
I'm not sure they are smarter.. the ones who marry bill gates are, but most probably don't get $4,000 each time they have sex.
Obviously using the press to further her musical career.
Once a whore, always a whore.
Does she "offer trips to Greece"?
hahahaha!
hahahahaha!!!
Good for her!
"I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things."
...
...
Which, oddly, is different from being an outright Prostitute...
Actually her entire point is that while the words used to describe it are different, the practice is very similar.
Um, not so much.
Gold Diggers: long term plan, one man, less risk.
Prostitute: Short term plan, many man, more risk.
If you're talking about Bill Gates's wife (or even Anna N. Smith) then yeah, you're right. What about girls who sleep with guys in exchange for dinner or maybe a dress or maybe rent money? That's who she's talking about. There's more than one way to dig for gold, and in NYC it's not usually through marriage.
So, you admit that golddiggers and prostitutes are in the same business - golddiggers are on a salary, while prostitutes are by the hour freelancers.
But they are still in the business of selling sex to men.
It's actually a form of full time salaried prostitution, with only one john.
Golddiggers and trophy wives are nothing but professional prostitutes - if you marry a man for money, and not for love, or if you use a man for cash, you are a hooker, pure and simple.
The prostitutes at least have some ethics about it - they take the man's cash, give him what he wants and don't mess with his feelings - unlike golddigger girlfriends and trophy wives, they don't pretend to love the guys!
And prostitutes are always down for whatever - unlike golddigger girlfriends and trophy wives, call girls NEVER "have a headache"!!!!!
I agree with everything except the hooker part. There's nothing wrong with women using what they have to get what they want. I don't think it has to be seen in such a negative light.
Bottom line, if you are trading sex for money or other goods or services, you are a prostitute.
And it matters not if you are the girlfriend or wife of your john, you're still a prostitute, and he's still a customer.
where is her richard gere, aka edward lewis?
Honey, without the tell-all, you're really not that interesting. If the publishers don't want you on your terms, tough luck. If you want them to pay you, then you have to write what they want. Funny, sounds like another job you had....

Man, this post only brought the finest examples of misogynistic rhetoric! Hate for all cunts! Bravo!
Don't be so sensitive.
On the one hand, she's whining that no one will let her "move on." On the other hand, she's whining that publishers don't like her tell-all book. So she wants to move on but she wants to make money writing a book about it????
