    So what?

    The only difference between this particular situation and any other one where a women with "good breeding" but no real job skills is allowed to sleep her way to the top is that in this case the potential employer was honest and acted in the best interests of his company.

    If this trull wants to pretend she's "too much of a lady" to be a prostitute that's her mistake. I'm reminded of an old Striesand move called Cracked(?) or something like that where Barbara portrays a prostitute from an upscale family. At some point in the movie she points out that she knows women who sleep with husbands they loath so they can drive a Mercedes and says at least when she goes down on her knees she's responsible for what she's doing.

    My only problem with prostitutiion is that at the low end it usually leads to blatant exploitation of the women, and sometimes men, invloved. That isn't the case here, so what's the harm. On the other hand, how long is it likely to be before the sugardaddy finds someone younger and prettier who also has "good breeding" and dumps this little princess on the street?
