The mindless rantings of a filmaholic.
Oh what a tangled web we weave!

Last night, I went to pick up my mom from work. We left her office around 11 and decided to pick up some food on the way home. I was in the food for fries, so I suggested Harvey's, knowing it was her favourite fast-food chain. We pulled into the parking lot, after I glanced at an attractive woman outside the door, talking to a guy. The guy walked away, and we got out of the car to get our food. As we passed the woman, I noticed a strong smell of expensive perfume, and the fact that she was putting on A LOT of lip gloss. It turned out that the Harvey's was closed, so we turned around and walked to the car, with my mom leading the way. As we passed the woman, I smiled at her and she said, "Hi there." I replied with a "Hi," and all of a sudden my mom turns around and says, "Not tonight." I have no idea what's going on, then all of sudden it hits me. "Are.....are you a hooker?" Why I said that I don't know, I think it came out because I was so excited. I had only really seen one "real" hooker before in my life. She was on the corner of College and Jarvis, and had white pantyhose and a crappy tutu on. She was one of those comical hookers from the 80's movies, whereas this woman was one of the new-age 90's hookers, who dress in tight, short clothing. She gave me a nasty look, and yelled, "Noooo. Asshole!" By this time my mom was pulling my sleeve and we were walking back to the car. I turn around 5 seconds later and what do I see but a car pulling up, and she's walking out to it. She opens the door, and I stop walking. I tell my mom to be quiet, and faintly over the nightly roar of the faraway traffic I hear the guy say, "Hey." To which she replied, "Hi. You lookin for a good time?" I was absolutely shocked!! In the last 40 years, have prostitues not been able to think up a better line than "You lookin for a good time?" With all the slang today, I'm sure there must be some kind of codeword, but nevertheless, a codeword was not needed becuase she got in the car, and they drove off. It was only then that I finally noticed a parked car in the corner of the lot. He promptly turned on his lights, started the car, and went after the former. I'm guessing that was her pimp, because if she was undercover, they only need to get the person to agree to sex for money, and with a line like "You lookin for a good time?" It might be true.
