Can you imagine? If those are the ones you had to pay for, how bad were the ones men were marrying? Heh.

I better go run, duck and cover now.

Hmmm....sounds like a movie pitch to me.

Very interesting. Really obvious how standards of beauty have changed through the years. I was surprised how heavy nearly all the women were. Of course, they had real breasts, not fake ones pumped with silicone - or whatever it is they do today. Also, there was a definite degree of propriety shown in most of the photos. If I hadn’t known that these women were prostitutes I wouldn’t have figured it out in most cases.

Wealthy prostitutes who ruled the Congress and Senate from their beds.

Some things never change lobbyists wink.

Look at what Mr. Pelosi married. There’s a reason obamy likes the boys over what he married. Is it any wonder BJ Clinton is a philanderer.

The real history of prostitution in the UK is a story that amazes people today. Read all about in the work entitled City of Sin: London and Its Vices by Catharine Arnold.

These ‘wealthy’ women must have inherited, because, with those faces, they sure didn’t earn it.
