United We Brunch returns to the Madison Sat. Limited tickets still available! I trick bitches. That's my girl," he says, pointing to a frumpy year-old who calls herself Babydoll. To feed her crack habit, Babydoll has been selling her body for going on two years. She's given only one blowjob so far today, but on average she services 20 men daily. Asked what the money was for, Fleetwood feigns ignorance. It's also what prompted Councilman Matt Zone to push through a law that allows police to arrest hookers for actions as subtle as making eye contact or waving hello.
But even residents eager to see their streets cleaned up wonder whether Zone's law will pass constitutional muster. There's no question Lorain Avenue prostitutes show little fear of arrest. Hookers have gotten so brazen, they enter apartment buildings, unscrew a hallway lightbulb, then ply their trade on the floor.
When residents take action -- by writing down a john's license plate or letting barking dogs out -- prostitutes have the nerve to complain that it's bad for business. And if you're picturing Julia Roberts in a short skirt and thigh-highs, you're sadly mistaken. Her yard adjoins an alley that's a natural place for prostitution. Stacks of old tires, a battered recliner, and overgrown brush provide ample privacy. Some mornings, used condoms litter the alley.
Crockett's afraid her daughter will pick one up. Several months ago, his sister-in-law called and told him to look out his window. He saw a thin, sandy-haired woman trying to entice men to pull over.
Her head came up. He straightened up. She opened up the car door and spit out. They knew who she was! But her appeals attorney, Kenneth Rexford, argued that the law was too broad and could be used to prosecute women for something as basic as providing directions to motorists or waving hello.
