Wonkette

Your parent site Gawker has more of the photo. What? Too much skin for Wonkette?

ooh, i just took the times one. time for a switcheroo...

Obviously, she charges $4,300/hr because of her intellect, education, and personality.

This whole thing would almost be a non-story if he didn't pay so much. $4,300/hr. Jesus Christ Almighty.

Don't forget about her myspace page -- [www.myspace.com]

She was only $1000.00, read the article!

I would totally pay that.

The song on her myspace page "was inspired by a guy, who taught me not to confuse my dreams with the sounds of the city…I hope you like it."

Was that the Spitz'n'Swallowz NY gov? Listening to that, he's not quite the muse...

Coming from a broken home on the Jersey Shore will cost you like two and a half whore diamonds right there. Do I need to continue reading the NYT article?

I can't wait for her to go on Letterman,so's he can scream "WHORE" at her,repeatedly.

@shortsshortsshorts: In your case, that would be $1,000 for 15 seconds.

Just kidding.

I continue reading and "'I just don't want to be thought of as a monster,' the woman said." Don't worry, Ashley, that particular moniker is already taken around here.

@sezme: I thought that their girls were all from "impeccable backgrounds" and all that shit...guess that lingo is short for "legal U.S. citizen, not a trannie, no obvious diseases."

From her myspace blog:
"Will that person be an asset to your life...(will that person have value): doesn't have to be financial, i am talking respect, courage, and ummm RESPECT."

So remember, next time you hear a girl say that, she's probably a lying $4,300/hr whore.

@DryFact:

If you have MySpace, friend her. I want to know if that picture at the top was Client #7, or Client #9

She seems nice.

@Dave J.: Tell that to Mrs. Spitzer.

@shortsshortsshorts: Her Top 8 is like Amy Winehouse. Plus I got banned from myspace a long time ago for talking about the 9/11 Truth Movement.

I'd give her four, four and a half whore diamonds at least.

Having read to the end of the Times article I gleaned the following disgusting quotation:

Her mother says "She is a very bright girl who can handle someone like the governor..." 'Member Monica's mom telling her to get her some presidential kneepads?

Man, that song was rough. I'm forced to deduct a half whore diamond on technical grounds.

She looks like one of my ex girlfriends. But with a much better body and corresponding hourly rate.

She's "spent the last few days in her ninth-floor rental in an upscale apartment building in the Flatiron district." Damnit, I live in the Flatiron district, but I bet she has a nicer apartment, since I only work for an investment bank and she's a prostitute. I shoulda been a prostitute.

Is that a HUBLOT watch on her wrist?

I'll bet she "smooth" down there. Really, his wife is way more attractive and can more that likely do better than the asshole shes married to.

@NotNotLickingToads: Every girl looks the same in stunna shades, unless they're fat, which is most of them.

@jagorev:

"I shoulda been a prostitute."

Didn't you say you worked for an investment bank?

@jagorev: But you said you work for an investment bank ... ?

@DryFact: No, the facial shape and hair. The resemblance might fade after you take the shades off.

Anyway, she went out with me for the price of about 12 Guinesses, so this whole thing shows me that I got a good deal, and I do love a bargain.

That's one smooth tan. I would have assumed just some sweet talk and dinner and a movie....

@DryFact:

"her intellect, education, and personality."

Is that the name she gives to each breast and and her ass?

@jcabraham: And maybe a yacht or two.

@NotNotLickingToads: If she drinks 12 Guinnesses, she'll be fat soon. Good thing you didn't marry her.

Hmmm ... She came from an abusive environment, takes drugs, has no skills, likes musicians ... and ... became a prostitute. You don't say? How unexpected. (I guess the MTV video chick thing probably wouldn't have paid as well.)

Uff ... I can't work up the energy to say anything bad/smart alecky about this woman. Spitzer, on the other hand, ought to be forced to become the love toy of ... well, I'm sure Selda or Slida or Slapya or whatever his wife's name is could think of someone to show him a good time. Probably named "Thor" or "Mad Dog" or something.

You'd think Eliot could at least find a nice Jewish girl to pay for sex instead of this mildly-attractive shiksa

shiksa@HumpintoPlease: @DryFact: yeah, I left myself open there.

@greatgooglymoogly: Spitzer should be disgraced for financial fucking mismanagement. $4,300/hr. Jesus Christ Almighty.

@jagorev: She's cute, but in the whore hierarchy, I think she is correctly classified as a 3 Whore Diamond whore.

It's sad because she's pretty...
and too expensive for me.

@jcabraham: That is a VERY good tan.

Her MySpace biography says that she started singing professionally after a musician she was living with heard her singing Aretha Franklin's "Respect" in the shower and burst into the bathroom with his lead guitarist.

Yeah, the singing made them burst in there. Right.

@DryFact: Not his money, what does he care?

@jagorev: Mr. Lippman would argue that Spitzer was attracted to her because she's a shiksa. Also because she's a whore. Allegedly.

Hi,

I just painted Spitzer's portrait:

[flickr.com]

The smoking gun has more photos. What the fuck is up with this one?

[www.thesmokinggun.com]

Does the Federal Reserve take into account the price of whores when calculating the Consumer Price Index, or do they exclude that like food and energy?

@greatgooglymoogly: Are you serious? Do you have a link?

@greatgooglymoogly: Photoshop.

in the last hour she has gotten around 200,000 page views...

@jagorev: I know. Like a NY governor couldn't walk into the H Street Martini Lounge and NOT have twelve hotties wanting to do him for free. This is where the professionals are supposed to take care of the 'discretion' thing, but a lot of good that 80 grand did him...

I'd hit it. $4300 is a little steep though. Hopefully she'd be ok with a trip to Julia's Empanadas and a Miller Lite over at Lucky Bar.

I "friended" her. Maybe I can get an "exclusive" interview....

Her mom tells the Times, "She obviously got involved in something much larger than her." So that must mean Eliot is packing.

@DryFact: Eh. Probably. So much for my disturbing "I am Kristen's suntan oil" fantasy.

We need to nip this $4,300 thing in the bud, people.

In the affidavit, the woman known by the Emperors Club as Kristen is described as "an American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds." She apparently was booked at about $1,000-an-hour, placing her in the middle of the seven-diamond scale by which Emperors prostitutes commanded up to $4,300 an hour.

@shortsshortsshorts:

Better yet, I wanna know which friend is Client #9. I'm guessing his username is not NYGOV07.

@InsomniaJones: awesome

She went to WALL High School. Ouch.

@HumpintoPlease: Maybe he's just really shy about going up to girls in bars and pretending to be interested in them for long enough to actually get to the humping. If I could afford it, I'd pay my date $1,000/hr to skip the awkward getting-to-know-you part.

Am I the only one who finds it creepy that Spitzer has 3 daughters, the oldest being 18, and this girl who is pretty but in a regular way is only 23.

It's a little too Dateline and Chris Hanson for me.

The real Amy Fisher can play her in the soon to be coming Lifetime, Televion for Women movie. Meredith Baxer Birney as Silda, of course.

@jagorev: Yes. That is an escort service.

BTW, she probably lured him to Washington D.C. and is a Fed informant. Why else would he leave New York, where he is like the fucking King?

He's Whitney Houston and Celine Dion among her top 5 friends. I wouldn't even pay her a grande chai at the Starbucks of Astor Place.

If Spitzer can only afford a three whore diamond service, I wonder what kind of people are involved with the seven whore diamond whores. Warren Buffett? Dick Cheney?

Ugh, need mental bleach.

Oh God, I hope he didn't fall in love with the ho, and that's how he fucked up so bad. So much for the last vestiges of respect I had in politicians, even the relatively good ones.

Obama, we need hope!

Maybe this whole thing was a setup by the NYT to juice its web traffic numbers.

"Now it's all about my music, it's all about expressing me."

Of course. It's ALWAYS about the music...

@Pupster: I dunno, I think every guy with a daughter has to wrestle with the uncomfortable fact that at some point he's going to find women roughly his daughter's age attractive.

On the plus side, his daughter's less-than-morally-upstanding friends will always know where to score some quick cash.

@jagorev: It's the Telecom-Media-Financial Complex.

What destroys me strengthens me."
Uh, Sweetheart, that's not what Nietzche said. Unless he was doing steroids.

How long before www.ashleyalexandradupre.com is taken?

@Jihad2BU: If the name of the high school is an indication of future profession, I really wish I had graduated from First Colonial and not Cox.

The average 23 year old girl from New Jersey would look like Kristen if we didn't have a national obesity epidemic.

The link on her MySpace page goes to her band recording page where you can buy her latest tune. How long before the vid and hooplah follow? I'm glad Spitzer was exposed for the A-hole that he is but this whole thing seems a bit too opportune and looks more than a little fishy.

About Ashley Alexandra Dupré
I am all about my music, and my music is all about me… It flows from what I've been through, what I've seen and how I feel. I live in New York and am on top of the...

Governor?

True story: my iTunes shuffled to "Back and Forth" by Aaliyah just as I opened this whore's MySpace page, and if Aaliyah wasn't already dead, Kristen/Ashley's "original" hip-hop song would've killed her.

@DryFact: That's what I thought. That she's so average looking, pretty but she's got that big honker -- you can hear the nasal Jersey accent.

I do feel bad for her. I'm sure she never wanted her friends and family to find out she turns tricks for a living.

@Pupster: She's probably a millionaire already. Don't cry for me Argentina.

@jagorev: The Duke of Westminster

Most of the photos are about what I'd expect of a hooker - the dark goggles, the tan, the nightclub poses.

But in this photo, she seems really normal and human, and that breaks my heart:

@Dave J.: Agreed. I don't think you can lay that particular rap on Spitz, just yet anyway. What's that saying about getting older but young girls stay the same age?

@jagorev: Oh, fluffy bunnies and puppie dogs.

She's probably a Fed informant. How else do you think the King of New York got lured to Washington D.C. to the Mayflower Hotel?

@jagorev: Spitzer was human too. And he had to PAY money.

Oh yeah, and btw, nice fake eyebrows. Classy.

These are her photos at myspace.. Look at some of the captions: $& 6; $& 7, $& 8, $&...

@DryFact: A millionaire? For what? By next week no one's going to be interested in this story. Most of the country don't even know who Eliot Spitzer is, it's just that this story is so tabloidy. That poor girl will be known as a whore forever, and I will bet that she doesn't make that much money from the situation.
