So in How We Date Today news, I’ve for the second time in recent months come across a guy who found his girlfriend by hiring her as a prostitute off Snapchat until she started taking the initiative to set up sessions
I’ve the impression this was also something of a dynamic in the postindustrial, pre-Cool Brittania UK, I remember a Jeff Noon anthology where one of the entries was written as rules for a three-way asymmetric game of copper/hooker/punter and the win condition for the punter was getting the hooker to fall in love with him and do it for free
Hell, I guess Pretty Woman and like a third of Madonna’s 80s aesthetic were setting this dynamic in postindustrial, pre-Clinton America
come on man, hooker with a heart of gold who falls for the non-creepy john who makes an honest woman of her is like the world’s second oldest narrative.
Oh huh, I guess “hooker with a heart of gold” is a famously long-standing trope that I had been overlooking
(In my mind “Heart of Gold” referred first to the Force & Styles song that is like the happy hardcore track, second to the Hitchhikers’ Guide ship)
