New York Magazine talks to a woman named Chelsea Lane who evolved from Reed College student to prostitute, another example of why Portland has a reputation of being a center for the sex trade. She tells the magazine she was a freshman at Portland's Reed College when someone in her class showed her a Tumblr about being a prostitute. That's edgy. And while Lane describes herself as "fat and hairy" and so pale she almost glows, she decided that, ultimately, ultimately, the answer was yes.
She ended up posting an an ad in her freshman year and soon got a bite from someone who she met a hotel. He was in his mids. He told me that I was the second person he'd ever slept with, other than his wife. He put the money in my purse. I was excited. The magazine uses Chelsea's story to examine the question of whether being a prostitute is just another a job.
She also has her own blog. And, the whole New York Magazine story can be found here. Nearby Places. Back to the Portland Patch. Read more local news from Portland.
