but not to proud to be a prostitute.

Lisa Roberston, who was sacked by Quantas after her liaison with Ralph Fiennes, has admitted she previously worked as a high-class prostitute
Ralph Fiennes was urged to take an Aids test yesterday after the air stewardess who seduced him on a Qantas jet admitted she had previously worked as a high-class prostitute.
Lisa Robertson, 38, said she earned up to £800 a night in an upmarket Syndey brothel while working for the Australian airline.
She told a Sydney newspaper she first sold herself to pay the rent "because I was too proud to ask anyone for money".
Miss Roberston was suspended - then sacked - by Qantas after her tryst with the British actor on a flight from Australia to Mumbai in January.
During the nine-hour flight from Darwin, Miss Robertson allowed Fiennes, who was seated in business class, to break aircraft rules by sitting beside her on the crew jump seat, which is used during their break.
After chatting together, there was, she admitted, a lot of "body language" between them and even the odd kiss or two.
She gave him her phone number. Finally she decided to take matters into her own hands.
"I just stood up, reached down for his hand and told him to follow me," she told friends.
"We went into the toilet and locked the door and off came much of our clothes."
She said they then had passionate and apparently unprotected sex.
After the plane landed in Mumbai shortly after 7pm local time Miss Robertson travelled to the Grand Hyatt, a 20-minute drive from the city's international airport.
Miss Robertson apparently did not use her room. Fiennes, 44, called her on her mobile, wanting to see her again.
They met at a hotel and spent a passionate night together, this time practising safe sex.
"Lisa was completely smitten by him," said a friend at the time. "She just hoped that the relationship could continue on from there but perhaps she was hoping for too much."
According to the actor's schedule, he had to set off the next morning for engagements in Indian villages, which included 'preaching' about the dangers of Aids and the need to engage in safe sex.
Fiennes has not commented on his liaison with Miss Robertson.
An update!
One may argue the downside to this kind of PR is far less than the potential benefit.
Thanks.
Ralph Fiennes was in India promoting safe sex...
hehehe
Nothing like hearing it from an expert.

Are you suggesting that a whole lot of single men are going to be rushing Qantas for business class seats? ... Frowns ... Surely never.
The funny part is that in another story I read that the brothel she worked at also fired her.
I'm not sure why.
Giving away merchandise, perhaps?
All I'm saying is it doesn't hurt their business class if patrons think they have a chance of hooking up with one of the flight attendants. Fantasies are made of such stuff.
More like shifting her business out of the premises and cutting out the middlemadams.
"Quantas. It's never crashed."
That is hilarious!
