Urban exploration takes a turn toward the world’s oldest profession! Take a tour -safely- through a photo gallery of bygone houses of ill repute in Spain, South Korea, and the USA. The outsides may look plain, but the inside pictures display a decaying gaudiness that tells the story of what once went on in these businesses. Link

George Seurat’s famous painting “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of LaGrande Jatte” shows a monkey at the feet of a woman. It could be that the model actually had a monkey at the beach, or it may symbolize that the woman was a prostitute! Minnesotastan put together a post exploring the monkey as a symbol of prostitution. Some images contain art nudes, which may be NSFW. Link
The economy is so bad that even prostitutes are desperate! Oklahoma City resident Lahuma Sue Smith, 36, pled no contest to prostitution charges that she traded sex for … a box of Frito-Lay chips:
According to the police report, undercover officers noticed Smith "trying to catch a date” by flashing her headlights at SE 33 and Robinson. Officers said they followed Smith’s car and found her with her blouse open and found a man in the passenger seat pulling his pants up.
The man told police he was having marital problems and knew he could pick up a prostitute there.
Smith told police the man told her he was looking for company but he didn’t have any money, so she agreed to be paid with a $30 case of Frito-Lay chips he had in the back of his car.
