Well I’m up late and actually have time to be a bum, so I’m somewhat watching HBO’s documentary ‘ATLANTIC CITY HOOKERS: IT AIN’T E-Z BEING A HO’.
Truly worth my time, pretty sad, and wrong in ways, but it gives some insight.
People highlighted include: a mother of two who moved to Atlantic City after a pimp gave her his business card; a stripper-turned hooker who finds money “intoxicating”; a drug addict who once nearly sold her baby to bankroll a gambling habit; and a hooker who gave up a country-club lifestyle to descend into a life of drugs and tricks. Captured on camera, the prostitutes strike deals with “johns,” check in with pimps and share “Can you top this?” tales with each other during breaks.

Guess thats all I’ve got to say -for now. Checkout HBO’s Schedule if you get curious.
