I will save you all the two hours of torture I endured , and sum it up in a nut shell. JLH thinks that because she was born pretty, and owns a tiara that the world owes her a good life.Her, and the husband are idiots when it comes to finances ( yes ARM's usually adjust up not down)so she accidentally takes a job at a massage parlor/brothel( such a common accident) She throws up ,and from there spends most of her money on stupid things like toys/jewelry/ new Harley for the husband,etc proving that it was not the economy that got them in trouble in the first place, but their own sense of self entitlement.

JLH uses coke because she is working long hours now to make payments on the husbands new Harley,gets arrested,decides that it is not enough that her own life has been ruined, so she offers up a list of all of the clients who may have made a name for themselves .Ironically there are 69 men on the list( now that was the humorous portion of the movie ha ha ha how clever)

Ok, we are down to the last ten minutes of a Lifetime movie, so it is time to wrap things up.JLH realizes that she is a very bad person.Not because she is a self centered, self entitled, financial idiot who sold out most of her clients, and brought drugs in to an area that could easily have been raided at any time.No JLH is a bad person because she accidentally( happens all the time) took a job at a massage parlor.

And, after they did a short sale on the house screwing up everyone elses property values they lived happily ever after,

Of course I HAD to watch the movie and even took notes.

Not only was it absolutely ridiculous, but OMG the goofball stereotypes...

The whipped cream scene? All the lingerie outfits? If she was so broke (they couldn't pay to put gas in the car!) she would have one or two she'd wear over and over (lingerie can be pricey!)

The first time she did that *c and baked cupcakes all night, she didn't get sick??? COME ON. Nobody can do that for the first time w/o getting sick. (Not to mention the big packet it came in, so casually from a client who just kind of "had it on him.")

How about when she called her clients "customers?!" Who uses that term? Or the Christian fellowship that turned them in?! Why in h*ll would a massage parlor of that type sign a lease in a strip mall with a Christian fellowship in it, or vice-versa?

Aaaaaaand from the beginning of the movie she was using her body to get what she wanted--wearing a tight, low cut dress at the bank trying to get an extension in payment or some kind of deal for being so far behind in house payments. THEN she feels sick about "selling herself?"

Whatever.

However, it's worth a watch just for the level of ridiculousness. I'm sure they'll be repeating it.

It's like watching a G rated version of Showgirls.
Thanks for posting that link oenghus.

I plan to watch the show.

What I don't understand is why some of the ladies on the board get so angry just because Jennifer uses the word "hooker" when she's promoting the show.

Ladies, is the word "hooker" really that offensive?

From my perspective, a provider in a real sense "hooks" a client with the lure of sex. In that regard, the word seems natural and descriptive to me without being offensive.

I don't think the offense is in the word itself so much as it is in the mind of the person condemning it's use. Now, if you used the word "whore" then I would agree that it would be offensive, but hooker sounds fairly neutral to me.

By way of example, I understand that the term hooker is also used in rugby by one of the players in the front forward position who "hooks" the ball.

I doubt the rugby players take offense at the word.

I missed it :-((. Must get a pvr. Hopefully I can find out when it airs again. Seems interesting even with the stereotypes.

These shows are usually told by a person from the outside attempting to look in and media likes to throw out all kinds of stereotypes...

Gag me. She is not attractive to me in the least. I am not going to be watching the movie. I'd rather masturbate to some gang bang porn than watch Jennifer Luvvvv Hewitt pretend to be a mom sacrificing for her kids....

And then make fun of it.

Bitch anyway. Originally Posted by Rae Monroe

Yeah, she killed me when she said "I'm too pretty to be poor!" and the whole idea of a client list is so played out...who keeps that info unless they have some impure intentions from the get-go? Also, is she married to the world's dumbest man or what? Who makes enough money to buy all those things on a simple massage therapist's income?

My biggest question is: whose life was this really based on?

Many of you guys (and gals) have been in the hobby for awhile. If this bust got all the media coverage that the movie says it did, why doesn’t anyone remember? How many little towns in Texas get national media coverage for prostitution busts?

My second question is: if these men paid in cash, where is the proof that they were actually clients?
It seems to me that there are A LOT of holes in this story.

How can it possibly be true?
