Post-Spitzer resignation analysis from New York
Finally, the good stuff:
One local $1,000 girl known for a thoroughgoing reading of the Times op-ed page said she knew right away it was a Democratic sex scandal, “because if it was Republican the hookers would have been guys.”
Someone who was certainly not surprised by Spitzer’s fall was Jason Itzler, erstwhile self-declared King of All Pimps. The now-41-year-old but still endlessly openmouthed Jason, whose exploits at his pricey NY Confidential whorehouse were previously described in this magazine (see “The $2,000-an-Hour Woman,” July 10, 2005), knew right away, before it came out in the press, that the Big Spit was a regular. “When I was in the business, if you had someone like him, you’d comp him. You comp him and comp him again, all the while jumping for joy because a client like that is like having the ultimate ‘get out of jail free’ card. But there’s a point you can’t comp him anymore. He’s using too much. You’ve got to begin charging. So if Spitzer was paying, and paying that much, he had to be serious addicted.” [...]
“It became the office joke,” Jason reports, “Victoria’s vagina and how I’d never even seen it.” This did not stop Jason from selling this facet of his charge’s anatomy. “You bet I did,” Jason remembers. “Big hedge-fund guys, the heaviest hitters, called and I’d say, this is the girl with the magic pussy, the best in New York. It bumped her price way up.” [...]
Was this it? The smoking, so to speak, gun in the entire Spitzer saga? Could it be as simple, as elemental, as that he couldn’t get enough of the girl with the magic pussy? Whatever the case may be, Spitzer’s downfall has been a vindication, an ultimate revenge, says Jason. “Ordinarily, I would have a lot of sympathy for a guy like this. But this guy helped shut me down. Put me in jail. Put all the girls out of work. Now he’s caught in his own trap. The biggest Dudley Do-Right becomes the King of Hypocrites.”
This was the kicker, Jason chortled: The girl he “trained” to be a high-priced whore took down Spitzer, prissy steamroller No. 1. It was, Jason said, “a Pygmalion thing.” [...]
“I was trying out for these chorus parts on Broadway plays, and this guy approaches me. He tells me how much money I can make. I brushed him off, but I guess that’s where I really got the idea. I figured I could make myself into that high-end girl the guy was talking about. When they talk about the $500 girl and $1,500 girl, it is all in the details. I had to lose like ten pounds. I got a guy to take care of my teeth, made them pearly. I started to go to the $75 manicurist, not the $8 Korean. There were the shoes, the haircut, all that. You’re making yourself up for a part. These rich guys, some want that down-and-dirty thing, the $20 blow job in the car, like Hugh Grant. But most want this upscale fantasy. Their wives are already perfect, so you have to be more perfect. You give them perfect, plus—that’s what loosens them up.”
For many men, truly perfect means without a condom. “That’s the final taboo, that’s the last piece,” says one high-rolling businessman. “Not using one would mean that the girl cares for you because she’s making the big step. It’s an interesting psychology.”
