The Las Vegas Courtesan

I already talked about my latest case and it being resolved but the first case I am still dealing with but worked something out with the courts. One of the things a lot of first time offenders in Las Vegas have to do is take a class that is an AIDS/STD awareness course. I am sure a lot of states offer this but it sure is a pointless thing to do.

I feel like I am taking a class that was designed for students to take when they are in junior high and have low self esteem or need some sort of motivational speaker to talk to them. Yes, they talk about STD’s and all but the rest of it is talking about principals that are just elementary and insulting to your intelligence pertaining to why you are a prostitute. The more I get into it, the more it makes steam come out of my ears. I personally think that every girl in the sex industry should take a class that clearly defines safe sex practices and identifying diseases. Heck I think every person period should take a class learning that. There is stuff they don’t teach you in high school that everyone should know like never ever use any petroleum-based product with a condom (lotions, Vaseline, etc). A lot of people don’t know that and it’s a very important thing.

This “course” is basically saying your parents didn’t teach you guidance through cooperation and just basically told you “do this don’t do that”. The other thing that got me peeved is how this is all about power and control and that I am forcing bad behaviors on others like they are a victim. I don’t recall taking the sex offenders course. I think that mentality is really backwards. The other thing is that I must believe that I am fearful of anyone else having control and must have all of the power to myself. I just don’t get what this class is about. It’s like a whole bunch of different principals rolled into one that don’t really pertain to the fact that I was arrested for solicitation. Oh and did I mention how much the class is? $150. It could have been worse though because the alcohol and drug addiction class is $305 .. I think the anger management one costs the same. The cost of those two classes alone deterred me from ever getting mad or drinking and driving. I think they should lower the cost of the anger management class because that price would make anyone throw their computer out of the window in a fit of rage. Anyway I am done venting… back to my studies.

So what do you want first, the good or bad news? Well I will tell you the good news first just because the bad news really isn’t all that bad and the good news is really awesome to me. It made my week.

Good news: The legal matters I was talking about recently? I went by my lawyer’s office on Thursday to handle some payment stuff for my first case (the one I wrote about recently was the second time I had been arrested and charged for solicitation). Earlier that day his assistant went in for me to handle the pretrial of the second case. Apparently I got so extremely lucky and got a D.A. who was fresh out of law school and when he was told that my first case was being dismissed, he just dropped the second case he was supposed to handle. I don’t understand why he really did this except maybe he didn’t want to bother with my case because I have been capable of getting previous charges dismissed. Whatever the case is I am so relieved and happy for this. I will go into more details about this case now that it is dropped in a future blog. All I know is even if this case went through to the courts, there was no way it would have stuck. They just saved their time by dropping it.

Bad news: Well like I said it really isn’t that bad. It is just that CES this year was pretty disappointing compared to the rumors I have heard over the years from call girls about how great it was. I did have some pretty decent and easy calls but they were pretty evenly distributed over the course of the convention. There wasn’t one night that was really great to write home about. Then again, if you’re in the sex industry or even a stripper, we all know how girls like to brag about how great this or that was last year or “back in those days”. I’m not going to lie, but I have done the same thing too. Anyway I just got a call from a service. Lets cross our fingers!

Business out here in December is as slow as cold molasses. After the rodeo leaves (which ended yesterday but we all know they aren’t big spenders) there really isn’t a darn thing that comes through Vegas until the new year. Thankfully though at the New Year CES comes around. Surprisingly even though Las Vegas is known for the biggest spot to hold conventions, only certain conventions you actually see a return cash wise on the amount of people that are in town. For example, the NAB conference (National Association of Broadcasters) is one convention that blows my mind every year. In mid-April it comes into town with 140,000 people who work for NBC, Toshiba, or Sony yet if I don’t go out to the casinos to find a customer at the bar I will be broke. My phone doesn’t ring from the services and when it does it ends up being a waste of time. On the other end, a show like the wireless phone convention in May who has 15,000 attendants (these are people who sell cell phones for a living.. not the big income kind of guy) I will make quite a bit of money on. There is just no easy formula for this town. I have yet to figure it out.

Last night ended up being okay. I was boasting about my regular yesterday who ended up standing me up by the end of the night. I think I spoke too soon about him being a good regular. He says he swears he will call me next time but we will have to see about that. Luckily after a few small tips and some base calls (calls where only the fee was collected) a guy called me off of my Eros ad and immediately said what he wanted to tip. That always kind of makes me nervous because I definitely don’t agree to any entertainment on the phone for my safety. I said I like to meet you first and give you a strip tease… he said sure and I headed over there. He passed my little test to feel safer and everything worked out so I didn’t have to stay for very long. He got a discount anyway. I figured if I hassled him for more money then he might think I am a hustling him and would ask me to leave. Believe it or not it happens..
