New York Times ^ | March 13, 2008 | SERGE F. KOVALESKI and IAN URBINA

She left a broken home on the Jersey Shore at 17 and came to New York City to work the nightclubs as a rhythm and blues singer. Now, at 22, she is the unwitting, and as yet unseen, star of the seamy drama that is the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York.

Kristen, the high-priced prostitute described in a federal affidavit as having a Feb. 13 rendezvous with Mr. Spitzer at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington,has spent the last few days in her ninth-floor rental in an upscale apartment building in the Flatiron district. On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court as a witness in the case against four people charged with operating the prostitution ring, Emperor’s Club V.I.P. In a series of telephone interviews on Tuesday night, she said she had slept very little over the past week due to the stress from the case.

Here is her "music recommendation" page. Guess who was a fan:

David Letterman had this comment last night (no joke).

"Is it too early to start hitting on Mrs. Eliot Spitzer?"

[Clemenza]

Nice body. I’ve had better, and didn’t have to call a service either, or spend $5,000 bucks.

I don’t notice a Mr. Capalbo. Girls who don’t have fathers really do have a lot of difficulty valuing and respecting themselves. Fathers are crucial to girls; I have read that most lesbians have had absent or rejecting fathers, and I would suspect that this applies to hookers, too.

I feel pity for her.She thinks what she does is worth the money. She’ll find out that she’s wrong, but too late. This will follow her and her family all of her life.

I hear you.

I don't mean to brag. But my wife is 10 times as beautiful as this.

Amazing that a guy worth half a billion dollars (through his father), and was the Gov of NY threw it all away for this.

Damn men that USE young girls.

Or she is using them, to the tune of around $1 million per year. Considering that a large number of young women these days are basically doing the same thing, but for dinner, not cash!

“I just don’t want to be thought of as a monster,” the woman said as she told the tiniest tidbits of her story.

No dear. You're just another whore.

I think besides the body, the face is not what he was looking at, he was paying for the body and the actions
it wasn’t an emotional thing

[colorado tanker]

Wrong Kristen. It must be a popular name in the “profession.”

Silwa may be kinda hot, but I still prefer Dina Matos McGreevey. Talk about a hot Pork Chopper*:

*Jersey slang for Portuguese.

For $5,000 she better be double jointed and a gymnast...

There's also that golf ball and garden hose qualifier.

From an engineering viewpoint, I think the static forces on that ring were drastically underestimated.

Especially the part:

Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time.
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues.

That is all she is worth - really. Thirty three cents. But, she then charges $4299.67 for the Mini-Bar.
