Ive found the show actually sad.
2 girls trying to live a glamorous life but I could clearly see they are not that glamorous at all.
Talking about pregnacy, showing off that cash without thinking about consequences of being robbed and having to justify the cash to the tax man, advertising the name of the agency cookie opened was also a wrong move, she admited being a pimp..
A sad show in my point of view.

It seems like a really intense life the pair of them are living.  They don't seem to have much outside of their work. 

I agree with those that said it seemed quite sad, and a nieve innocences to the pair of them.  They know so much but have shared so much information with the world on a tv program. 

I really hope their books are in order

I don't think we should be bitchy about the way they dress or look. I think it's fair to discuss the implications of going on telly, and I think it's fair to talk about the way the show presented them, etc. But we just sound bitchy and catty when we pick at the way they dress or conduct themselves.

Remember that to most civilians, we are indistinguishable from these ladies.

I wasn't being bitchy, but if you are going to remove yourself from the 'norm' and call yourself 'High Class' then how do you expect to be seen as different from the rest if you are dressing the same way and doing the same job? I wont go as far to say 'acting' the same way, as the two girls were VERY insulting towards streetworkers, is that what makes someone high class? Putting yourself above others?

I think they were just trying in the wrong way to show being a prostitute doesn't equal substance misuse and degradation.
They failed of course but I don't think it was coming from such a bad place, they're just naive

Trying to remain objective, perhaps the issue was mostly C4's titling the programme with the use of the phrase "high class". To me (and I appreciate it's incredibly subjective) a 'high class' escort would be beautiful, toned, a non-smoker, eat well and generally look after herself, have good skin, drink very little alcohol, no drugs, and any cosmetic surgery/procedures would be so subtle and well done as to be barely noticeable. I don't think just having a flat near Bond Street tube is enough to qualify.

I also worried like others that it gave the impression that large amounts of money could be easily made. It was more interesting when they spoke to their families if anything, but overall I just didn't feel it was very reflective of many escorts' lives. And I hope they don't regret making it.

I watched a snippet but not enough to make a proper judgement but initial thoughts are actually pity for the individuals involved as I wonder what they actually thought they were participating in as now .............. not only have they completely exposed themselves to the tax man {so I do hope they declare all they earn or portray  to earn as they've foolishly flashed so much cash it gives the impression they are earning 3k a day, which ......... if they are not then they've foolishly dug themselves a big hole!!!! ) and secondly the law as two girls, as we know, constitutes a brothel. 

You wonder if it's all been edited too and how much ?  Also was drugs mentioned ?  Were they under the influence ?  All very sad really in my opinion.

It's just as I predicted, sensationalist tv and in all honesty, I can't see the nicer (normal) clients actually believing any of the nonsense portrayed.............. . 

I say nice/normal clients although what constitutes nice and normal! 

I do confess that I will watch at some point on catch up as I can then form a proper opinion !   

I do wonder though what the girls thought they were getting into?  Did they agree purely for exposure and if so, how did they think they'd be portrayed?

I just don't think there is a any such things as a 'High Class Hooker' anyway; it might be a useful phrase as a marketing tool but whatever actual measure you come up with in order to orientate it will be deeply subjective. You could say its an escort who charges ?300+ an hour, but as the 'documentary' seemed to show some of those who do may be living chaotic/ alcohol fuelled life styles which dilute and problematise the 'mythology' of the High class Hooker. You could say its a someone who had a middle class upbringing & went to private school, but even though your socio-cultural/socio-economic background is a pretty good indicator of 'where you'll end up' it is not a signed, sealed guarantee of life long economic and social stability. Particularly seeing as prostitution is the same as any other self-employment, it can be quite unstable, unpredictable work, totally dependent on bodily labour & unless you've been canny with your money it won't have mattered how much you charged per hour, if you become ill or can't work for any reason.

You could say its looking a certain way, being 'conventionally' attractive, but I've noticed more so in recent years in this industry especially, this is more linked to a very artificial cosmetic form of attractiveness (like Emily B) that was popularised by pornography/glamour industry that people probably don't associate with 'class' anyway. Or being a healthy, well maintained, ascetic, well spoken, affable gym bunny but I've met women like this who worked in quite low cost massage parlours.

Class as an idea is a nonsense anyway, because its the erroneous notion that there is something essential about a group of people that makes them better or worse than another group of people, based of the criteria of the fashion of the day. It used to be aristocrats. Now its billionaire business people. Prostitutes have almost always, by the very nature of society's attitude to the practice, been considered fairly low down the pecking order, no matter how you swing it. Even the millionaire courtesans of previous centuries were consider social outcasts who were only 'high class' for prostitutes.

It is precisely because of the endemic injustice in the way in which society has often treated those who work in this industry on the basis of 'social hierarchy' & concepts of 'acceptable femininity' that I feel deeply uncomfortable about taking any aspects of whorearchy seriously (outside perhaps a useful marketing tool).

    • I should be updating this instead...
I don't understand why this programme was even made. What is the significance for this in the first place?  ???

Someone thought they could sell enough advertising slots for it to at least cover the cost of commissioning it.

Because following someone with a camera (aka: reality show) in his/her "daily life"  costs nothing to the producers (you just need to hire a couple of camera people to chase celebrity hungry chicks/lads doing their thing) so the financial reward is very high. Putting together a more traiditonal TV programe  involves hiring a studio, lighting technicians, presenter, dancers, sound engineers, lots of cameras, editors, staff etc etc.... and costs much more money so the financial reward is not so great.

And them... sex sells :-)

I've always wondered if I was a high class escort would I be guaranteed high class cock?  :P What does high class cock taste like I wonder. I don't fit into high class  so will just have to carry on fucking low class cock.

The programmes I've seen like this all portray how wonderful all of it is and all boast of their 'thousands of pounds a day' earnings so they're happy to let the world know. If I had the nerve, I'd do this for TV, have the cameras there when I get a knob on the phone and let them see my frustrations rather than like on this programme where a TW was asking her lots of questions and what she gets off on and she told him, played right into his hands, unless in real life she would've got rid of him. If I had a booking with an arsehole, I'd tell them or if he turned up with a smelly arse, I'd tell them all of it and I'd give a true estimate of my earnings, which they'd be surprised about. But I'm guessing ones like that wouldn't want the whole country knowing what they do.

I don't buy the idea that men pay more for educated, middle class women. I am well educated but the men I see don't listen to what I am saying or even look in my eyes. Whatever 'class' the man is, I believe that all they want is someone who will listen to their boredom without giving an opinion, have the type of body/boobs they prefer and is a passive receptacle for their sperm. No real need for them to pay ?300 at all

No, I don't 'buy it' either but nor do I agree that men want a braindead, passive receptacle because if they did, they wouldn't book me. Maybe people like that do book well-educated middle class women, but in that case I'm glad I grew up on a council estate and left school at sixteen because I'm clearly getting a much better deal punter-wise :D.
