Ay, there’s the rub…

Deborah Jeane Palfrey insists that the escorts she dispatched throughout the nation’s capital were not engaging in any illegal activity. This reminds me of the assortment of oddly named businesses in Albuquerque that caught our attention when we first moved here. Based on their names and the manner in which the establishments were advertised, we wondered what sort of business was really going on there. When we asked residents about them we always got the same response.
“Oh… those. Yeah, well, those are lotion demonstration parlors.”
Lotion demonstration? This conjures memories of Avon Ladies dispensing those little foil packet samples to housewives. “Try this one! It smells good and it won’t leave you sticky or slimy!” Why, with all the skin-softening products on the market, and a Walgreens on every corner, would someone want to drive to a questionable part of town to have someone demonstrate lotion? And yes, I did just fall off the turnip truck – what’s it to you?
After twelve years in Albuquerque, I still don’t really know what all is going on in these places with the exotic names, but I’ve been led to believe that these are legitimate businesses, because everybody knows about them, and they are mentioned prominently in Bernalillo County Board of County Commissioners official papers and zoning codes.
Miss Palfrey says hers is also a legitimate business – obviously well-known because she has so many clients – and she says she provides a “legal, high-end erotic fantasy service.” Whether or not this service includes lotion, I do not know. But I’m certain many of her clients will insist that it does.
This story will be in the news for some time and many families and careers will be destroyed. Before we engage in exposing the identities of Miss Palfrey’s clients, perhaps we should ask ourselves one question: If White House interns and congressional pages are off limits, where do we expect those “high in the echelons of power” to get a massage?
