You would be with a girl like “Kristen.” Petite, Brunette, and of course, she is fun. This is what a $5000 escort looks like, in case you were wondering.
The Smoking Gun says, MARCH 12–Meet “Kristen,” the high-priced hooker who trysted with Eliot “Client-9″ Spitzer last month at that Washington, D.C. hotel. The 22-year-old prostitute’s real name is Ashley Alexandra Dupre (though she was born Ashley Youmans), according to a New York Times report. On the following pages you’ll find an assortment of photos of the young prostitute that were previously uploaded to a music web site, a talent agency’s site, and her MySpace page, which describes Kristen/Ashley as an aspiring musician who left home at 17 and has been in New York City since 2004.
Note to everyone, this is not what the girls from Craigslist look like. But I am willing to bet a ton of “Kristen’s” pictures start showing up on Craigslist as potential escorts. Then when you call them, “Kristen” doesn’t show up. Instead, it’s some tranny that rolls you for your wallet and iPod. Not that this has ever happened to me. I’m just saying that it potentially could happen.
So be careful out there.

Former New York Governor Spitzer should probably change his title from “Former Governor” to “Star Maker,” because that seems to be exactly what he has done. Yesterday, it was reported that Hustler Magazine was vying for a nude shoot with Ashley that would potentially land her on the cover, and they alluded to the paying her well, saying she would be taken care of.
Now people are buying her songs, apparently ahead of more popular singers.
Silicon Alley Insider says, Ashley’s first song — “What We Want” — hit Amie Street’s top price of 98 cents before midnight last night. Overnight she’s uploaded a second track — “Move Ya Body” — and this one seems to be selling briskly, too. It’s already at 98 cents.
How many tracks has Ashley actually sold? Amie Street won’t say. But the company does note that her page is now more popular than those of artists you’d actually heard of before this week.
I hope this doesn’t mean she is going to stop hooking. Don’t get me wrong, I love Cinderella stories as much as the next guy, but I would way rather envision Ashley doing,….well….you know.
I checked out some of the music, Ashley definitely has more talent than Britney, which isn’t really saying much anymore. Maybe Ashley is going to release more hooks in the near future. Ok, that wasn’t that funny, but it’s Friday so I tried.

In the ad, Sir Paul says that "many years ago, I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realized, ‘I am killing him — all for the passing pleasure it brings me.’"
For Paul, "something inside me clicked. I realized as I watched him fight for breath, that his life was as important to him as mine is to me."
