lovingbothTwo things I've never quite understood were
a) Why is Whoopi Goldberg on the display outside the National Film Theatre? Gromit definitely (the finest actor of his generation!) Hitchcock, Garland and the rest, yes. But just what's she done to deserve it?
b) Why is Simon Russell Beale considered so wonderful? Even discounting Gromit, and just considering actors who've recently done major roles at the National Theatre, both Alex Jennings and Roger Allam (both fabulous in Speer, now in My Fair Lady and Privates on Parade respectively) are much both better. And they can both sing, which SRB can't (just why he won an award for Candide is a complete mystery...)

Too me, working as an escort is different. Its discreet, cleaner, and just plain better all around. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
But when you are going to stand on a street corner, it affects society a little too much. Its too out in the open. I swear, I'll stand there, and I see kids walk by and look at me, or school buses will pass filled with little kids. It makes me feel bad.
I am not against prostitution completely. Especially if its done legitimately.
