N.Y.'S NUMBER 1 'HOOKER' BUSTED (laugh break--prostie blabbed to Paula Zahn)

NY POST ^ | July 31, 2005 | CHRIS WILSON and BRAD HAMILTON

Cops have busted a $2,000- an-hour hooker dubbed "New York's No. 1 Escort" after she blabbed to the media about her prurient profession.

Natalia McLennan — who was splashed across the cover of New York magazine three weeks ago and has been interviewed on TV talk shows — was charged with money laundering, prostitution and promoting prostitution..........

"They pieced together basically quotes from all the articles about her and interviews that she's done. It's basically that they saw her on the Donny Deutsch show and the Paula Zahn show and they read the article in New York magazine.

But McLennan, who claims she made $1.5M a year servicing her high-roller clients, made no secret of her work at NY Confidential, a swanky, Moroccan- themed brothel on Worth Street.

She became infamous overnight when she struck a provocative pose for the cover of New York under the headline, "N.Y.'s No. 1 Escort."

And in a yet-to-air documentary shot inside the randy lair and screened by The Post, McLennan reveals she had orgasms with the first several johns she serviced — not realizing that enjoying the encounters went against hooker etiquette.

The BBC is rumored to be interested in airing the footage as a reality series, using intimate scenes from digital recorders that were always running at the bawdy bordello. The New York magazine profile also chronicled the rise and fall of self-professed pimp Jason Itzler, and his love affair with McLennan, his top girl.

Itzler, who owned the NY Confidential escort agency, is currently in jail on Rikers Island while awaiting trial on prostitution, drug and money- laundering charges.

Itzler claimed NY Confidential raked in $500,000 a month during the year and a half he was in business, with clients that included hedge-fund titans, politicians, lawyers and even an NFL quarterback.

.....NY Confidential raked in $500,000 a month during the year and a half he was in business, with clients that included hedge-fund titans, politicians, lawyers and even an NFL quarterback.....

Wasn't very confidential, now, was it? Welcome to the fully fornicating society.

[BipolarBob]

Some buisnesses you want publicity and some you don't. She couldn't tell the difference.

[albee]

Methinks Natalia just won the "DUMMO OF THE YEAR" AWARD!

[somemoreequalthanothers]

2K an hour? Must be alot of desperate wealthy people out there.

[DB]

Brings new meaning to the "service" industry...

[Sapper26]

$2,000 an hour? I guess that's what you call getting more bucks for the bang.

[bill1952]

I would like to see a picture of the whore who can command 2K hourly.

Not the one the IRS should have.

[sgtbono2002]

If it were legal about $500,000 of that would be paid in taxes.

[T'wit]

At that hourly rate, I thought we should get a photo. Couldn't find one, but Google did cough up this tidbit, also from the New York POST:

'NO. 1 ESCORT' GAVE FREEBIES ON THE SLY

LAST week's New York magazine cover story, "N.Y.'s No. 1 Escort," about Natalia McLennan raised a lot of male eyebrows around town. Some downtown sceners say the "$2,000-an-hour" hooker has been providing her services to them completely gratis — seemingly unbeknownst to her fiancé and self-professed pimp Jason Itzler, who's now locked up on Rikers Island. In the New York piece, love-struck Itzler coos: "If she ever did it with anyone for free, it would have broken my heart." But it seems McLennan found time between turning tricks to consort with a host of musicians, actors and club promoters. One lucky Lothario tells PAGE SIX: "I was in shock when I saw her picture on the cover . . . Me and a bunch of my friends have all hooked up with this chick. She's not that hot, but she's one of those girls that will run and get you a glass of ice water if you're thirsty. Very eager to please. At the end of the party, she always seemed to be around. None of us knew she got paid for it — we definitely never did . . . Who knew she was a hooker?"

Ah, true love in A.D. 2005 -- "If she ever did it with anyone for free, it would have broken my heart."

One less contributor for the DNC...

[Caipirabob]

2K an hour? Must be alot of desperate wealthy people out there.

Not that I know but I suspect it's far more economical than an NYC Divorce Lawyer or the ensuing alimony payments.

[the invisib1e hand]

Pride goes before a fall. But a liberal judge, media, and community can help you back up again.

[Allegra]

Y'all weren't planning a trip to New York anytime soon, were you?

[putupjob]

Along with the celebrity society built around entertainment and sporting figures we are now starting to see these high priced hookers and scummies like Anna Nicole Smith as the new heroes of the get rich quick and have a good time doing it kind of crowd. Unfortunately the affluent society also produces worthless debasing scum as success stories.

....She's not that hot, but she's one of those girls that will run and get you a glass of ice water if you're thirsty. Very eager to please. At the end of the party, she always seemed to be around.....

The proverbial prostie with the heart of gold.

Sniffle.

[dakine]

Of course, I'm looking for pictures...

[monkapotamus]

I think this is her, based on the name and comparisons to the online photos at NY Magazine.

She's not that hot, but she's one of those girls that will run and get you a glass of ice water if you're thirsty. Very eager to please. At the end of the party, she always seemed to be around.

So that explains why she gets the big bucks.

[gridlock]

When you're making $2000 an hour, $2000 doesn't seem like that much money.

But what kind of guy with that kind of money has to pay for it?
