Inside Ashley Dupre's Rise To Prostitution Fame: A Book Excerpt

NY Post:

In August 2004, NATALIE McLENNAN was working for and dating now-convicted pimp Jason Itzler when he auditioned and recruited a 19-year-old named Ashley Dupre into his high-end prostitution ring, New York Confidential. In her forthcoming book, "The Price: My Rise and Fall as Natalia, New York's #1 Escort," McLennan recalls how she befriended and groomed Ashley - a New Jersey girl with dreams of being the next Mariah Carey - into one of the city's hottest call girls. In this excerpt, McLennan reveals Dupre's sex- and drug-fueled days and nights - raking in piles of cash, dancing in clubs and sidling up to celebrities - before she ended up in bed with Gov. Eliot Spitzer and became famous the wrong way.

'NATALIA, get in a cab," said the voice on the other end of the phone. "I've just met the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life."

Typical Jason Itzler tact.

He was my pimp, and I was an escort, and, yes, I know that for most people we were living in some sort of beyond-good-andevil, bizarro world where normal morality and feelings don't apply, but just suspend your disbelief for a minute.

I feigned enthusiasm, "Really? That's so cool."

When I arrived, Jason brought me into the lobby of a hotel and told me to check out a girl working behind the desk.

He had just given this girl, Ashley he said her name was, one of his metal business cards - silver, razor-thin and reading "New York Confidential: Rocket Fuel for Winners."

I had to hand it to him: She was hot.

the worst is that people will actually pay money to buy this book!!!!! talk about morons.

[BlackJAC]

Maya Angelou had been a prostitute, too; what's your point?

[Jamesdean]

I don't know whether Maya Angelou was a p ros or not, but my point here is why would anyone buy a book written by a w h o re. by buying her book, we are giving her attention she doesn't deserve.

[philosopherkingtomas]

She is beautiful and courageous!

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

Beautiful, if you don't mind all the hand prints all over her. Courageous if your definition requires that you get to lie on your back.

[SekhmetHathor]

Quit giving this desperate soul the attention she so desires.

[Chrisa]

Come on. This is America. No need to work hard or finish High School and College. Just become a hooker, and someday you'll strike it rich in Hollywood.

[missviv]

I know, right? Meanwhile suckers like myself are dedicating years of their lives getting bechelors and masters degrees... taking out massive student loans to someday hopefully make over $50k. Had I known all I had to do was sleep with disgusting people for tons of cash..

[TrooAmerican]

Dont worry, someday you'll spend your 50K on a hooker too. When your relationship turns out to not be what you thought it would be, then people like dupree make their money.

Remember, hookers would have no business if men and women refused to use them knowing its illegal.
Until demand is stopped forever, we'll have 'escorts'.
If you recognize demand wont stop, then stop criticizin those that make money from it.

[BlueandGreen]

Honey, stick to hooking because you certainly are no writer.

[TroubleNYC]

I still don't understand why a man would pay so much money to have sex with a woman.

[robXdion]

Because it's a shortcut thru all of the other crap and gets right to the point. It's like eating out VS. buying groceries and cooking. Some do it because they can. Others do it because they don't have a hope in hell of attracting that kind of woman on their merits. Fortunately, I don't have that problem ;)

[iambusto]

1) some people have the money and refuse to waste time in all the "dating" bullshit. so many head games. Just pay for it, get your fix, and move on..

2) Some people are very unattractive and cant attract hot chicks. Maybe they can attract chicks, but not of the caliber (by that i mean looks) that they want to. by paying for it, y ou get to sleep with some super hot chicks that you would never be able to otherwise.

3) With a hooker you dont have to bother trying to please that girl. she does all the work for you and you just enjoy.

4) famous quote: you dont pay a hooker to be with you, you a hooker to leave.

[BlackJAC]

5) The hooker will do things for them that they simply can't ask their wives or girlfriends to do for whatever reason.

The most interesting part of that excerpt was "An undercover police officer paid $990 for a provider via credit card. They booked another girl on 12/20 for $990 on a credit card. They booked two girls on 12/31. Each time they had full service and supposedly all the sessions were taped." Police officers hired hookers, had sex with them and filmed the whole thing? Talk about going the extra mile and loving your job! http://mespace.wordpress.com

Let's see, stay Gov. or nail that, stay the Gov. or nail that?

What the heck, politics is boring.

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

The choice is obvious.

[dana94591]

Why is this here??

Ick. Rentatwat.

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

LOL. Rentatwat. I love it!!!

[JScott]

Only in America...

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

So we're calling whores "stars" now? Riiiight.

[robXdion]

Yup Yup! In some cases, I've even seen prostitutes and pornstars peddled as empowering feminist role models. It's just that sick.

[ofcoursejesusisblack]

I know.

[missviv]

It's baffling isn't it? Objectifying yourself and allowing others to objectify you somehow empowers you?
