Elements of Style
It is hurtful and degrading, I feel, to evaluate the sexual attraction levels of humans like a trade critic might evaluate the features of a new car or cell phone, but since Ashley Alexandra Dupre (a.k.a. Ashley Youmans), otherwise known as the prostitute who spent some private time with former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, being in the business of offering her sexual wares for big money, I want to clarify a point I made yesterday, which is that her nose is too big.
She has a kind of Beagle Boys nose, which is to say a nose that looks a tiny bit canine. If a professional cartoonist was to draw a charicature of Dupre, he/she would almost certainly give her the same kind of black-tipped dog nose that Disney's Goofy character had. Many cartoonists, in fact, have used dog noses.
I have one other comment. If I were a john about to pay $4500 for her services, which, in my mind, should result in the company of a woman with the most exquisite and delicate Michelangelo features imaginable (i.e., Kate Moss-level), I would also have concerns about her fingers, which are too thick. I'm not the first person to use the term "thick-fingered vulgarian," but it's a physical distinction everyone is familiar with. Refined, upscale, top-of-the-line women don't have thick or semi-thick digits, which come from being big-boned in general.
I wouldn't say this unless we were talking about a woman in the trade. AAD is currently famous in part because of how she looks and, of course, her willingness to offer intimacies for money, so I think it's fair, this one time, to offer views on this topic. Full disclosure: I've never paid for the company of a pro in my life, although it's hard to argue too strenuously with that famous Robert Towne line in The Last Detail, spoken by Otis Young: "Any [female intimacy moment] you get in this world you're gonna have to pay for, one way or the other."

That's why she's a hooker. She has low-self esteem, especially about her short fingers (which I noticed right off the bat) and nose. Strippers, hookers, American Idol contestants, etc. spend a lot of time examining themselves in the mirror. There's a pychiatric term for it. Remember that scene in MOMMIE DEAREST when Joan Crawford couldn't stop looking at her legs in the mirror before a hot date with Steve Forrest?

Remember, the context for the size of her nose was Eliot Spitzer.
Has everyone seen this? I would say the combination of nauseatingly simple-minded copy, and subsequent reality, makes it possibly the greatest example of political advertising-- at least since LBJ convinced us that it was important to defeat Barry Goldwater because otherwise, America might get involved in disastrous wars with Communist regimes:

Jeff, get help. Your posts are devolving into Paris Hilton-level observations that I would expect from Rush Limbaugh. And you support HOPECHANGEINSPIRATION but you're about one post from demanding yellow stars for "ugly people."

Well, if she had model-level looks, she'd probably be a model and not a hooker, so it makes a lot of sense.
And mentioning Kate Moss, she looks a hell of a lot better with her clothes on than off.

Wells, you crack me up. Really. Maybe Spitzer stuck to low-light hotel rooms and let his imagination do the rest?

Kate Moss is not sexy. There's something cold about her as well as most other super models. Women need some vulnerability about their looks to make them attractive to a man. Perfection is boring.

I asked Ashley if she had any comment on the picture in the upper-right hand corner of this site.
"$4500 ain't worth it."

There is a press-friendly alternative version of your THE LAST DETAIL quote, a two-man quip from Anthony Shaffer's first screenplay of SLEUTH:
Milo Tindle: A turnstile in the bedroom?
Andrew Wyke: One way or another, one always pays to get in.

For a split second, when I saw her picture on Drudge, I thought it was Sarah Silverman. Then I read the headline and looked more closely.

Man, I had the same thought when I saw her hands. I think the term is usually "short-fingered vulgarian" though. I don't know why. It's not PC these days to judge character based on physiognomy, but a lot of that kind of analysis seems to have some basis in fact. Look at all the jocks with big chins, for example. Exaggeration at the bottom of the face tends to indicate an exaggerated physicality.

Can we eliminate the $4500 meme already?
The most expensive escorts went for that price. She went for $1000 an hour.

Spy devised that as mock-Timese* for Donald Trump.
* Timese refers to the fact that when it first began, Time used lots of pithy descriptors over and over to refer to the same person, among other stylistic tics.

As if spitzer saw her nose. Judging from the word leaking out - he was probably wearing a leather mask with zippers. and a tube to breathe through. The man didn't see hookers for sex - he went to be humiliated. After a hard day of ball breaking others, he enjoyed a woman giving him a hard kick in the nads.

Between this and the Jason Segal post, Wells has reached a new level of simultaneously making me laugh at his ludicrous comments and shaking my head in complete disbelief. He's becoming the Art Bell of entertainment blogs.

Wow. Just wow. The postings here get increasingly unhinged on a daily basis. Most of the time I laugh, but sometimes I want to cry.
I frequently want to go away from this site and not come back. And then I read something interesting here, like the post about bad movie titles, or the one about a movie based on Hypatia of Alexandria, and it causes me to want to return. Dammit.
