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.

You could fly to Reno, go to the Bunny Ranch, get a better looking girl and still be money ahead!!!

[boop]

She’s good looking. She’ll wind up rich, famous, and maybe get a record deal. But she’s still a prostitute.

does your wife keep your balls in her purse or in the night stand next to your bed?

His wife made him get rid of them along with his gun collection and muscle car!

Irony is lost on the pedestrian.

I’m beginning to think that you’re jealous that you don’earn $1000 an hour.

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

Agreed. And then, dynamics is even more complicated than statics in this analysis. Also, none of the frat files work for the mid-term either.

>*so I’m told<

LOL

I’m beginning to think that you’re jealous that you don’earn $1000 an hour.

True. But I am also not a Pimp, Drug Dealer, Whore, Leg Breaker, or Politician.

[B4Ranch]

They all deny the truth too. LOL

(just kidding)

[gondramB]

>>pretty hot....but 5K?

geez....one could do Santo Domingo a week on that and get treated like they actually like you

*so I’m told<<

At this level, you are probably paying for someone who won’t exploit or talk about sleeping with the governor of New York.

And $5000 likely isn’t enough for that - you’d need them to have so many high profile clients that they would lose if the talked about any one of them.

[SkyPilot]

Right now I work training these guys.

I think they make (no joke) about $6.25 per hour.

[am452]

In the bottom pic she kinda looks like the girl next door. Not ugly or overly hot but cute.

[SkyPilot]

I calculated given the hours they work in that.....

[SkyPilot]

Really?

I think his wife is 10 times better looking.

Perhaps I just need to get back to my Journey 8-Track Tapes......

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I’m sorry, but the post was cheesy enough and then the tag line. Really weak.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

LOL, exactly! Now yours is a tagline I can appreciate!

[NRA2BFree]

I’m sure she was painted up to look great. The 500K was for the outcall service, what she allowed him to do to her, act like she enjoyed it, and to go away after.

I'm sure you're right, but one question. Did they find another money trail leading to 500K or did you mean 5000K? The last total I heard yesterday was $85K. I can't even imagine him paying 5000K for it, but then he stretched it over several years, so depending how big of a horny dog he was, he could have racked up huge amounts.

[rednesss]

From the evidence that we've seen so far, it is hard to tell whether she was worth her asking price.

Just look at the difference with Eva Longoria.

[rednesss]

And an internet classic is born. Thank you.

[Deo volente]

I think his wife is 10 times better looking.

And a thousand times classier.
