Radar Hooks Up With Hipster Hookers

The new issue of Radar features a story by Jessica Pilot on “high-class hipster hookers” who charge $2000 per hour and frequent clubs like 205 and the Beatrice Inn. They’re also well-educated and choosing prostitution’s easy money over more professional careers.

Heather’s other partner, a blonde with freckled ivory skin with whom she had some common friends, works under the name Kelly. After graduating from an Ivy League college in 2006, Kelly says she was thinking about going to grad school to become an English professor. She’s decided to put that aspiration on hold, though, while she rakes in the equivalent of an investment banker’s salary selling sex.

205 Club’s new hooker mascot isn’t a classy choice but it’s not entirely unfounded either. According to a forthcoming Radar Magazine story, “hipster hookers” go to the same clubs we go went to—they’re just like us! (Update: the article is out)

I first met Heather (her working name) about a year ago. We were sitting at the same VIP table at a tony New York nightclub called 205 along with some pro hockey players and big-time artists. I had seen her at various parties and recognized her sleek, dark hair and honey-colored skin. I introduced myself, and it turned out we had a lot of friends in common. Heather moves in both fashion and media circles and refers to herself as a “quasi party girl.”
