My Life as a Prostitute Play Santa Monica Dolores French
As a member of the private whorenet, I had gotten to know the infamous Dolores French a bit from her posts etc.
I attended her very creative play, with almost a full theater on Thursday night.
After the play, leaving about 10:30pm I made the long trip out to City of Industry visiting Boss HC club and Sahara Theatre Strip Club.

Mark Kernes from Adult Video News was a willing participant when Dolores wanted to demonstrate how she could put on a condom with her mouth. No, he didn't have to unzip for this; she gave him a dildo to hold between his legs. |
Dolores shared many stories of her life: telling her parents (in writing) what she was doing for a living after taping the show for Donahue, having a shotgun at her head during her one-time close encounter with a crazy client, and her dismay at the irony of a legal system that outlaws the purchase of sex and sexual paraphernalia but allows the purchase of guns.
Dolores is married to a criminal defense attorney who says, "We're both doing the same job--we both get paid to get our clients off." In addition to continuing her work in prostitution, she writes a column ("as a kind of sex-positive Dear Abby") for "The Scene," an Atlanta magazine. She sees all that she does as using all her accumulated wisdom "to help others renew their self-esteem."
Clea, an admiring fan who read Dolores' book, asks for and receives an affectionate kiss. |
Will Jarvis, a.k.a. Taliesin, a friend of Delores', gets a nice hug against a soft, warm bosom. |
Performances will continue next weekend on September 21-23 at 8:30 p.m.
