Now, being the upstanding people we are, we don't usually traffic in prurient gossip. Nonetheless, we were totally titillated by today's Radar post of an article from their September magazine, "Secrets of a Hipster Hooker." Despite the icky scene where writer Jessica Pilot's sometime boyfriend suggests that she herself play the escort and go out on calls (she balks in the end), the most interesting element was the profile of "Heather," a friend of the author and a burgeoning lady of the night in her own right. Particularly, we were excited by the fact that "Heather," her work name, is, "a 28-year-old who has a coveted job in fashion media." Shocking! Details are scarce in the article, but if we are to take Pilot at her word, Heather has, "sleek, dark hair and honey-colored skin," a Cartier bracelet and, "moves in both fashion and media circles and refers to herself as a 'quasi party girl.'" She also hangs with a "Kelly" and an "Olivia" who form the other legs of an escort troika. This doesn't really narrow it down—we know plenty of people in the editorial, web, business, and pr sides of fashion media who fit the description. Hell, she could be one of us (she isn't.) Now, while we probably won't publish the answers (libel and slander aren't our strong suits), we would love to hear more details, guesses, and scurrilous commentary. Send your dirt to submissions@refinery29.com, you filthy people. (Radar)
