Hoo, boy, this one’s fun.

Ashley Dupre, the young woman whose company was very expensive to Elliot Spizer in more ways than one, has something to say to her critics, especially the women - shut up:

Dupre, responding to a front-page Post exclusive about Spitzer contemplating a return to office, said she is tired of people looking down on her.

[...]

“Let me say this—most girls, to varying degrees, of course, want to be pampered and have nice shoes, designer handbags and gorgeous clothes,” Dupre, 24, writes in a blog post on hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons’ Global Grind Web site.

“I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things. They toy with them, flirt, go on dates, have sex and then drop hints about that new dress . . . or being short on rent money—and the guys deliver it.”

Ouch. She isn’t done, either:

“I see this all over New York City. Some women aren’t as vindictive, but still dive into relationships with wealthy guys who they don’t love or even find attractive, but they stay in it because they have a nice home, a car and spending money,” she wrote.

“They would rather stay in an unfulfilling or loveless relationship than lose that security.”

So….most women are hookers on some level? Hmmmm. She’s gonna win a lot of friends with that one. I like this part, too:

Her efforts at image rehab have been hampered by her reputation as the “woman who brought down the governor,” she said.

“Excuse me people, I didn’t call the tabloids, I didn’t blow the whistle and I didn’t save ‘the dress,’ ” she wrote, a reference to Monica Lewinsky who saved a semen-stained blue dress from her encounter with Bill Clinton.

I’m not sitting in judgement on young Miss Dupre and her dabbling in the world’s oldest profession, (consenting adults and all that) but I will say this - if you engage in prostitution don’t be stunned when you find that people “look down on you.” It sort of goes with the territory, and how much you charge, whether it’s ten dollars or ten thousand, really doesn’t alter the negative view most people have of the whole thing.

It is what it is.
