Politics, poverty, and prostitution are three sides of an incongruent triangle where ladies of commerce have calculated the supply and demand angles. When you think of it, a whore is a super hero. She needs to defend against the law and every other competitor, while being invisible at the same time.
Government makes things possible; basketball stadiums, public housing, and of course fantastic luxury estates–with a bit of help from lobbyists. An Iron Lady will simply take what she needs if it isn’t given to her. We go back in time, thanks to a meticulous anthropological excavation and witness an interesting brand of social justice.
In 1997 construction workers alert authorities about unusual objects obstructing their spadework and since this is not too far from the Capitol Hill in Washington, experts are called in to investigate luxury items appearing on the “wrong side of the tracks”. Archeologists find hundreds of champagne corks, expensive porcelain, and women’s corset fasteners, so now they are determined to get to the bottom of this. Land registry indicates a 25-room house listed to Mary Hall. According to the Census there are five White females and a colored woman at the residence, which might explain a police raid; the charges stated as keeping a bawdy house and disorderly conduct. Detectives gave evidence that everyone was acting as if they were at a wedding. The American Civil War (1861-1865) added a bit a gas to the fire. Union Lieutenant Favill wrote that every city in Alexandria almost every house was filled with public women.
Except for those able to buy their way out, enlistment in the Union was mandatory, leaving the ladies to fend for themselves. They did so in a Washington slum known as “Murder Bay”. General Joseph Hooker was ordered to control his unruly men. He did this by restricting night time prowling to visits to the Haystack; a large barn under the watchful eye of Madame Bella Hay, who just happened to be a Confederate sympathizer. With a bit of pillow talk, she was set up with connections and a 23-bit cipher. Her instructions were to gather intelligence and to cripple the Union army by spreading STD’s. In order to set up a honey trap, Madame Hay hired an organ grinder with his pet monkey. Gen. J. Hooker was hooked by her stage performance and the rest is history.
