In this particularly well written autobiographical essay by Juliana Piccollo, the denouements for both parties, particularly for Juliana/Samantha, are surprising. With the sixty some-odd stories in the volume, it’s hardly a spoiler to reveal that Juliana, under her own steam, eventually garned an MFA in creative writing from the University of Arizona. She is now a storyteller and a writer for The Tucson Weekly and other newspapers. She also wrote and directed the movie, “I was a Teenage Prostitute,” which has been shown at numerous national film festivals. Juliana recently purchased her first condo.
One might think from the jive talk title that HOS, HOOKERS, CALL GIRLS, AND RENT BOYS would be titillating if not downright pornographic. If this writer were forced to pick a one word characterization for this book, it would be candor, closely followed by tragedy, triumph, and humor.
The book is organized into six sections: Life, Love, Money, Sex, The SAGE stories, and those of the National Summit of Commercially Sexually Exploited Youth. Each section is a patchwork of the autobiographical musings by lap dancers, a notable variety of strippers/sex workers, street-walkers and “commercial sex technicians” of varied genders, sexual orientations and life styles.

Three years. One hundred police calls. Twenty-six arrests and one death.
Crime statistics for an entire neighborhood? Nope.
Crime stats for a single five-unit complex in the Balboa Heights neighborhood near Oracle and Grant roads.
But things are looking up, said Jane Baker, president of the Balboa Heights Neighborhood Association.
Late last month, Paul Gualtieri, the property owner, agreed to empty out the complex by Nov. 30 and put it up for sale — after being dragged into court by the city of Tucson.
Baker said she hopes this means she and her neighbors will no longer have to watch drug transactions, prostitutes ply their trade, fights, shootings and drunken debauchery.

In a matter of hours, the world will find out which city will host the 2016 Olympics and Chicago is one of the contenders. We are vying for the honor along with Tokyo, Madrid, and Rio. At this moment, the most powerful person in the free world is giving a sales pitch in Copenhagen, Denmark…and I wish Oprah all the best. If Chicago hosts the Olympics, I have t-shirts all ready to go. My favorite is “I got your high hurdles right here” But that’s only if we win the bid, until then, I got your Friday Funnies right here.
? A Real Eye Opener – Five female baristas at the Grab-N-Go Espresso shop in Everett, Washington were accused of prostitution for allegedly offering more than a caffeine “pick me up” to some of their customers.

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 10.02.2009
A Pima County jury has again convicted a Tucson man of first-degree murder in a September 2006 slaying outside a local strip club.
Vladimir Garcia Soza is again facing a life sentence with or without the possibility of parole in the death of Lee “Tweety” Linares.
Soza shot Linares, 37, to death outside the club on East Speedway near North Alvernon Way on behalf of Raúl Maldonado, a convicted murderer against whom Linares testified almost a decade ago, Deputy Pima County Attorney Mark Diebolt told jurors.
Linares’ girlfriend, Sara Guerra, told police she, Linares and Matthew Cox were about to get into Linares’ vehicle at the Bunny Ranch, 3650 E. Speedway, when Linares was shot.
