Dutch girl ´Meinke´ (25) used to be a prostitute. The coming two weeks she tells her story here.

´Make a lot of money and do as little for it as possible. Of course most people would like that. But most of them are not prepared to do for that what I did: become a prostitute.

When I was eightteen I moved from the small town where I was born to Amsterdam. The capital had always drawn me. As a little kid I used to go there with my parents. During those visits I always enjoyed the special atmosphere and the people. It was very different from the place I grew up in. I just had to live there.

I was there for a couple of months and had a great time. I found a job at a departmentstore and there I met Lonneke. She became my best friend. Together we wandered whole days all over town. Except for work we had not much else to do. We started to live for party-ing. If we were at home, we just waited for it to get dark. Every sunday it was on: we went to this legendary club in the city. One sundaynight we wanted to go, but we didn´t have any money. We took to the streets and started to ask people for dough. A very desperate act, but it did work. I asked one guy for 1 euro. He gave me 15! Enough for an entrance-ticket. Then and there emerged the idea of becoming a hooker. I didn´t tell Lonneke a thing. Or any of my other friends for that matter. I viewed my looks very business-like. If men liked me that much, well, then they had to pay for me.´

Next time: Why did ´Meinke´ quit?

´Meinke´ is not her real name

I just seen this movie: Max Payne. And I don´t really like it.

Is based in a very famous videogame, but the film does not get it. (más…)
