A 62-year-old Alabama grandmother arrested in a prostitution sting has begun serving a two month jail sentence. Mary Clark Duncan and her daughter, Theresa Duncan, were arrested a few weeks ago after they allegedly both agreed to have sex with an undercover officer for $30 — or $15 each.

There were two men at the home at the time of the arrest, including Teresa Duncan’s estranged husband and Mary Duncan’s son. No charges have been filed against the men.

Okay, maybe it’s just me, but if these two women could find men who’d fuck them at all, let alone for money, how the hell is there a victim to this crime?

Oh well, even though this was some very cheap sex, sometimes you have to ask yourself if spending a little more might be worth it. I mean, it’s 2007 and at $30 for a pair like this, you really have to consider what you’re getting for your money.

Now if you prefer your sex to be a little more visually interesting, here’s a free taboo tag team gallery from our friends at Mother Daughter Fuck.

Check out this mother/daughter pair that’s been tag teaming men for a while now, and capturing their best adventures on film to share with horny perverts everywhere. Click the photo to the left to open the gallery.

On July 1st, a new business opened in the quiet town of Pahrump, Nevada (about an hour from Las Vegas). What makes this interesting is that the business is a laundromat, called “Dirty Laundry,” which is owned by the Hollywood Madam herself, Heidi Fleiss.

In case you don’t remember the details (or the book or movie), Heidi made headlines in 1993 when she was 27, by being arrested for running a very upscale call girl ring. Her little black book was filled with movie industry names, along with royal figures, heads of state, politicians, sheiks and business tycoons.

Many famous people were worried that her trial would wind up making their own dirty laundry very public. But actually the only names which came out were actor Charlie Sheen and Texas billionaire businessman Robert T. Crow, who admitted to using her service. Sheen actually testified in her trial that he’d spent over $35,000 for the girls’ services. He paid using personal checks, including one for services on Christmas day.

So why is Ms. Fleiss opening a laundromat in Death Valley? Evidently it’s so she’ll have something to do to pass the time until she has approval to open a legal brothel in Pahrump. Of course, once her brothel is open, it’ll probably be nice to have somewhere to send all their dirty laundry.

Hey, I wonder if Charlie Sheen will be stopping by to leave a load with Heidi this time?

As the rich and slim flocked to the waterfront convention centre for Rio de Janeiro’s glitzy bi-annual fashion show, prostitutes in a downtown square took to a cobblestone catwalk for a show of their own. Sex service workers from Davida, a Brazilian organisation that defends the rights of prostitutes, strutted through the streets wearing their new line of fall/winter clothes.

The brand’s name is Daspu, is a play on “Daslu,” one of Brazil’s most expensive and exclusive fashion names being displayed across town by top models like Gisele Bundchen. Gabriela Leite, a founder of Daspu, said it was no mistake that her show was running on Fashion Rio’s biggest night.

“This fashion show today makes up part of our fall/winter collection that is not on the official agenda of Fashion Rio because we were never invited. Once again, social responsibility does not appear where it should appear,” Leite said.

According to organizers, the new 2007 fall/winter line draws from the deep well of artists inspired by prostitutes, from Toulouse Lautrec and Pablo Picasso to Madonna and Sting. Hired models and prostitutes walked a makeshift catwalk in an alleyway in Rio’s red-light district, throwing condoms to an animated crowd of hundreds.

There were spartan and utilitarian shirts with black and white blocks, colorful prints and plenty of eye-catching incarnations of the staple of the industry: the miniskirt. An eclectic group of spectators - including deserters from Fashion Rio looking for something different - ended the evening dancing samba to a live drum troupe.

The rock hard cock & balls fountain in front of Amsterdam’s famous Casa Rosso will be getting some competition soon. Near the end of March, the red-light district there should see the unveiling of a bronze statue designed to honor prostitutes around the world.

“In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength,” said Mariska Majoor who commissioned the statue. Majoor is a former prostitute who is best known for founding a center of prostitution in the city a decade ago.

The statue will be forged by sculptress Els Rijerse, and shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world, “a self-assured woman, her hands on her hips, looking sideways towards the sky, and standing on a doorstep,” according to the Dutch news agency ANP.

A court has upheld a Las Vegas city regulation barring erotic dancers from raunchy physical contact with their customers, in a ruling that runs counter to the gambling city’s sinful reputation.

Nevada’s Supreme Court on Thursday reversed two lower court rulings that found the regulation improperly curtailed “expressive conduct” protected by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment.

The high court judges said that even if the constitutional amendment did apply, its protection was not absolute, and added the city measure helps curtail prostitution, sexually transmitted disease, drug offenses and criminal activity.

The city rule bars dancers from physical contact of a sexual nature with customers. The decision echoes a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year that backed a California city’s regulation requiring at least two feet (0.7 metre) distance between erotic dancers and the audience.

- Good news in the Pacific Northwest though, as voters in Seattle took a different view this week, rejecting a measure on Tuesday that would require erotic dancers to stay at least four feet from patrons.

If you weren’t there this weekend (like me), you missed out on Hong Kong’s latest film festival. And this one might have been worth going to. No kung-fu movies this time, this was all ‘me-fuck-you’ films.

Actually that’s not completely true. But the festival was all films about prostitutes, told by the prostitutes themselves. Evidently the idea is to combat some of the stereotypes found in mainstream movies. Not all prostitutes are victims or predators, and the nine films shown during the festival were chosen for their portrayals of the day-to-day lives of some of these sex workers.

An ironic twist is that while prostitution is not illegal in Hong Kong, it was illegal to hold this festival without proper licensing, which was demanded with a few days notice and which could easily have been denied to them.

The good news is that the organizers were smart enough to get around the permit requirement at the last minute by making it a private, members-only activity. Ticket buyers just had to join Zi Teng, the local sex workers support group.

Nice, you leave with a ticket stub, a program guide, AND membership in a Hong Kong Sex Workers group. See, I told you this one might have been worth going to.

This photo is from a demonstration held yesterday on the steps of the courthouse in Las Vegas.

The group, composed of prostitutes, strippers and men and women of the night, called for more respect and stronger legal protections for legal and illegal workers in the sex industry. They complained that a series of new anti-human trafficking laws restrict their freedom and called for the decriminalization of the world’s oldest profession.

I have to agree with them. I think that spending the money we’re wasting locking up prostitutes and their johns could be spent in much better ways. We need to take a hard look at the things we’re trying so hard to control and realize that we need to get our noses out of what people want to do with each other.
