Deidre Dare Proposes Prostitution as a Layoff Solution?

deirdre dare expat allen and overy.jpgDeidre Dare is one of our favorite laid-off lawyers. She was working in Russia for Allen & Overy, and decided to pen a salacious online novel about her expat adventures. The literary critics at A&O were not pleased with the novel, which featured lots of drinking, sex, drugs, donkeys, and dwarves.

After she lost her job at Allen & Overy, she sued the firm.

Dare’s still in Moscow, where she pens a column for the Moscow News called sExpat. Recently, she wrote that money is tight and that she’s considering various options to increase her cash flow. Among some of her proposals are robbing banks, becoming a jewel thief, blackmailing someone, or prostituting herself. From the Moscow News:

Now, when I decided to go into the law, I wanted to take an expensive preparatory course for the law school admissions test. At the time, I was suffering severe “cash flow problems” and I asked my father to pay for the course, which he refused to do, considering it a waste of money. So, in order to raise the cash, I decided to become a “high class” whore.

I’d heard that this was something pretty Ivy League students sometimes did for money.

Sometimes the non-Ivy types do it too. So what are Dare’s rates?

Dare ends her column on this note:

Let’s just say that I’m off to buy a tight, black bodysuit.

In the meantime, if you want to spend the night with me, it will cost you $2,500 (that includes breakfast in bed)…

xxoo, DD

We checked in with Dare via Facebook to ask how serious the column was and whether she’s really trading being a lawyer for being a lady of the night. Her response may disappoint some lonely, rich Russians:

As much as I am thinking of becoming a jewel thief……….

Our tipster on this story was our very own Marin. She sent along the column from the Moscow News via Lawshucks via RollOnFriday. Gosh, everyone’s on top of Deidre.

There must be some pretty hard up blind dudes in Russia if she thinks she can get $2500. Surely, though, this will help get her name out there which will help her land a new job. She should just network instead of resorting to this. Even Hofstra's career services office knows that networking is the best way to get a job, why can't she figure that out?

By the way, Elie's Madden 2010-based prediction of the Jets having a good season is coming true. Keep up the good work, Elie.

Although Dare's career advice is sound, it is generally flawed for lack of practical application. Ms. Dare's lack of aesthetic beauty is a common trait shared by most female attorneys and law students. As I mentioned before, in over 40 years in this business, I have only seen 8 women that were truly worthy of my companionship. Luckily for most female law students and unemployed attorneys, there are some purveyors of deviant sex that wouldn't mind flogging an unatractive woman or procure sexual favors while she wears a leather mask. A special question for those deferred lawyers that will receive rescissions in January/February 2009: How is Commissar Obama's stimulus working for you?

I am generally disgusted by the critical and disgusting comments on this site... but my G-d, if your face resembles a horse as closely as this womans and you go around claiming you can charge for sex, well, I think you're asking for it. I am a woman, so I guess I can't speak for some men's tastes... but I can be annoyed that thanks to this [pick your word of choice for labeling women with low self-esteem who do degrading things], legal women are going to be thought of as even more repulsive than we already are.

Also, could women like dd choose between being lawyers and hookers sometime before 3L? I think it would make it less confusing for the men in our profession and ancillary professions.

$2500 for an average 5 looking girl? So out of market. If she presents herself well, she's lucky if she can get $250 to 300 for one hour of half and half. At $500 the competition is positively hot, lots of eastern europeans and russian 9s at that level. At $1000 you get get most big-name adult movie stars for a real PSE. Not to mention all the high-mileage dancers at the clubs that moonlight for as little as $400/hr, and they'll throw in BBBJ with CIM. Most of you people have no idea what you're talking about. Her especially.

This chick is delusional, old, and ugly.

You can get hot, under-25 pr0n stars for $2,500, often much less if you don't want them to stay the night. (What kind of sad, lonely sucker would want a hooker to hang around after the act?)

This old herpes-bag is 44 years old. A quick Google image search reveals more real-to-life photos of her. I don't know why ATL picked the most flattering photo (horse-face) of her, but all of her other pictures reveal her crow's feet, extensive worry lines, and granny hands. Women over 30 are well past their prime. Beyond 40, they're...

Let us not forget the ironclad truism that FEMALE LAWYERS ARE UGLY. If a woman was smoking hot, she would have no need to go to law school. If she was moderately hot, she would still not be practicing law in Siberia at age 44. Women who were not attractive enough to land a husband are the ones who must continue working to support themselves.

I am SO SO SO SICK of hearing the mantra on this site that women marry solely for money (the premise of 57's post -- not that 57 is the only one making the assertion). Some of us (even those of us who were or could have been models) marry guys just because we fall in love, even if he isn't so fabulously wealthy that he can support us in an Upper East Side penthouse while we swan about shopping and getting pedicures. Some of us also (gasp!) decide to work because we enjoy it, or because we don't want to be dependent on a man, or because we like being productive members of society.

55 here. I know my post is harsh, but it's the reality of the prices. I actually agree with you 59, but it doesn't change the reality of what you are competing with if you're actually engaging in what this Deirdre is engaging in. It's a competitive business, I'm just laying out the facts and the prices right now. But nothing I'm saying is incompatible with what you're saying, too. Just because someone is a prostitute doesn't mean she's not also a feminist, or doesn't value her own independence. Heck, what most of us do for a living (the billers among us) is not much better.

Hey, 55 -- care to enlighten us? Why do you seem to have extensive knowledge of the ins and outs of the world of prostitution? How often do you have to pay for sex? Have you ever gotten a freebie?

avatar
62 Posted by guest | Permalink Monday, September 21, 2009 6:54 PM

59, I didn't say "women marry for money." (Although many of them do.) I said that genuinely attractive women will be married off rather than go through a grueling career path. If you were hot, you'd take the path of least resistance, too. Maybe the guy isn't wealthy. Point is, if you're attractive, people are going to be after you. If you've made it to 30 without being snatched up, chances are your value to males in society wasn't high enough where enough of them have fallen over themselves trying to get your hand in marriage.

Women marry for money, along with comfort, stability, and apparently even "love." It is quite naive to think that most women would forgo a comfortable marriage and force themselves into a strenuous career path. Even those tankgrrrrrls who want the world to hear them roar eventually drop out, cut their hours, or take many a pregnancy leave. If working your ass off for 45 years is so awesome, why do so many more women than men jump ship?

Hot women are too smart to burn up their 20s slaving away at the law. Regardless of how deluded you might be, nobody really likes working 90 hours a week and "being a productive member of society." You went to law school and became a lawyer because you wanted (read: had) to.

61: so off topic. Post #55 is directly on-topic, and essentially stating that Deidre's $2500 quote is out-of-market by a very large margin. It's hard to crack the $500 an hour barrier in that profession, you have to be unique (i.e. model quality, or a recognizable star) or willing to do very unusual things. Even then, you top out at around $1500. She's solidly in the $250 range. Apologies if I'm too on-topic, I took the post seriously.

The thing that's so amazing about this lady is just how delusional she seems to be! At least if she had some genuine talent you might forgive her for her vanity but she has neither the substance nor the looks to attract the attention she obviously craves. She's lucky she's even got a job writing a column thats obviously not worth the paper it's printed on! As for prostitution - as if!

Just a vacuous pitiful case of an aging, lonely unattractive and desperate attention whore. Sorry to be so harsh miss Dare, but thats the reality of it. Time to take a long hard look at the mirror.
