Since the "Desert Diva" prostitution ring is making headlines again, we thought we'd give you a glimpse at some of the merchandise Valley "Johns" paid up to $3,400 to spend an evening with.
Our friends at CBS 5 (KPHO) put together a little slideshow of the booking photos of about 50 of the hookers, madams, and handlers flipping tricks for some of the area's elite, and we've gotta be honest, most of it aint pretty.
To call some of these gals "high-end hookers" would be like calling a 1984 Fiat a luxury car.
Granted, these are all mugshots, but still....
Few places will you find a better collection of meth teeth, stringy hair, apparent cold sores, and despair than viewing a collection of these "divas."
Be warned: Some of these photos could replace the syrup of ipecac in your medicine cabinet, so make sure there is a pot, garbage can, or air sickness bag in close proximity. Um, enjoy.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
