I didn't want derail another thread, but when I looked up police uniforms from the 1930's I found this. I can't imagine they were charging much.

Too old, too fat
Also, too cross eyed, too lumpy faced, and too slack jawed.
Those photos just turned me gay.
The emotions of a person makes a huge difference in how she looks. A smiling, eager face looks much better than a pissed off one, even though it is the same face. Of course she won't look good in a mugshot.
Meh, streetwalkers are usually alcoholics and druggies, as much then as they are now.
The really, really hot professionals--the ones that charge several thousands a day for their time, speak multiple languages, have Stanford educations--well, those don't get arrested nearly as much. When they do, it's usually more for scams than prostitution.
Worked with a guy that always got his daily blowjobs off the street; never had to worry about undercover cops, he said, because undercover cops always have all their teeth.
By how "healthy" they look, we can at least we can tell there wasn't meth addiction back then.

Also, the good looking hookers that got caught were probably were able to work out alternatives to arrest with the cops.

Yeah, nobody should be surprised by the amount of ugly in those photos. People shouldn't watch movies and think that hookers tend to look like Julia Roberts or Sigourney Weaver.
I've been accosted a few times in bars by hookers, and even if I was willing to pay for sex, I've never seen one that, based on looks, shouldn't have had to pay me instead--and I'm fat and ugly myself.

I was accosted by one of the worn-out townies, at the frigging gas station of all places, not too long ago. Bleech. I'll just pump the gas, thank you.

I may have posted this story before, but a friend of mine used to drive a van delivering home medical supplies (oxygen tanks and such) in Atlanta. One day he was driving through downtown Atlanta on his route, and while he was stopped at a stop light, a hooker came up to the window of the van and asked if he wanted to party. He was like, "Yeah, right. If I'm going to cruise downtown for sex, obviously I'm going to do so in a delivery van at 2 in the afternoon".

I live around the corner from the local red light district (red light street, really). I walk past it every morning on my way to work, at 6 or 7am it looks like rush hour and it's nothing but delivery/company vans.
Man, Europe is great.

I've seen this set of mugshots before - from what I recall, it is somewhat misleading, in that the some of the women pictured were charged with "keeping a bawdy house" - that is, as living off the income of prostitutes.
Perhaps these were themselves former prostitutes, but not necessarily how they earned their money when the pics were taken.

I've only been propositioned by a hooker once, and it was in the parking garage at Philadelphia International. No idea what she was doing there, but honestly she did look pretty hot-- dressed nicely as well. So obviously either upscale or formerly upscale that had fallen on hard times.
But going by what I've seen of the rest of them, either on the news or COPS type shows or the obvious ones that tend to work a particular street every day-- I honestly don't see how any dude could ever be hard up enough to stick his dick in that. Even ignoring the possibility of catching something and having to pay for it. Just-- no.
I got an offer in a Wal Mart parking lot. PASS

Maybe a little. But you don't grow your own food, do you? No, sir, you go to the store and pay for it.
Or do you mean the sex Slavs? Hey, you have regulations.
Given that I spent my university years living in residence on Gerrard and Church streets, in Toronto, an area notorious for prostitutes, I can say I was propositioned many times.

Whores of Montreal by L.Cohen
She wore a velvet lipstick
and her breasts they weren't real
Her brows were dark and thick
She was a whore of Montreal
Her hair was black with red streaks
And her expression said it all
At school she was a Goth freak
She was a whore of Montreal
Nadia, Olga and Natasha
They're really not French at all
But they're full of Slavic passion
These whores of Montreal
From the Rue St. Catherine
To the township of Laval
They say they all live in sin
The whores of Montreal
I've hung out with prostitutes a couple of times, but can't remember ever being propositioned anywhere.

And the man from Toronto leaps to defend the honor of Montreal ladies of the evening. Proof that Canada really does work as a nation.

"Your honor, i hung out with the prostitutes, and i remember there being propositions, but who made them and the exact terms...who can remember such details?"
I have hung out with prostitutes, for work research.
My clients preferred the terms "escort" or "companion", thank you. Asses.

^_^ Actually, come to think of it, I even hung out with prostitutes in Montreal, maybe 8 years ago. At a fast-food restaurant off the main drag where they were cooling their heels (and yes, eating poutine) during a slow period.
In the Church/Gerrard neighbourhood I lived in all those years ago, there was a Harveys (a burger chain) restaurant on the corner. To this day it is affectionately known as Hooker Harveys
A time honored profession trashed by internet nerds. For shame Languish, for shame.

:lol: I hadn't thought of it that way, but I did have a couple propositions in that money-sex direction as a youngster. A guy actually got really pissed off after I politely declined the proposal of a blow job in Bryant Park (offering a pretty petty-ante amount of money, I have to say), and chased me around Port Authority until I managed to run out one of the side street exits.

I hope he was the one offering to give you a blowjob and paying for it, at least.
