bohemia. whoremania.

17Nov08

Whoredom, whoredom, everywhere. Sawyer’s interviewing Dupre, McLennan just released a book, Quan’s got a series coming out, Showtime’s sniffing around for a reality show. I also just read the line, “Sawyer’s ongoing and extensive investigation of prostitution” and realized that she was only just getting started with her first broad-stroked swing at American hookerdom. I’m curious to see how her interview with Dupre goes, though I have a feeling I already know exactly how it’s going to go.

I’m itching to leave town and it’s probably because of all of this, or because it’s winter, or because of the holidays, and I’m thinking about going to Prague. I’ve always been interested in Central European art and architecture, kunstkammers, and the history of the Habsburg Empire (especially under Rudolf II), but, more importantly, there’s a sex machine museum. So, in a sense, it’s my calling.

    You will like it, all foreign tourists like Prague. I can compare it just to Paris… I think that the main difference is that Prague is cleaner and smaller (=more concentrated monuments).

    Had no idea what a kunstkammers was. Thank you so much…very cool.

    Habsburg…I suppose they are fascinating if you are from sufficiently far away. (although I do feel indebted to Rudolf II for patronising Archimboldo;-) Have fun, if you go.

    I just hope all of this attention does something to further sex worker rights.

    Hey – Prague is beautiful city, though sex machine museum is just piece of crap for tourists … lavish baroque architecture you can find on every corner of the Prague downtown is definitely more erotic:))

    Prague is beautiful… when is sunny. In the winter it´s the most unfriendly city in the world.

    “Gallery of Prostitutes” – images drawn by ordinary people of their perceptions of a generic “prostitute.” Enlightening and disheartening litmus test.
