Newsflash: Whores and wanton hussies happier, more productive than ever! Bed-hopping tarts rule the small screen, from “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” to “Mistresses.”

By Heather Havrilesky

Feb. 15, 2009 | Remember when everyone was intrigued by cops? We wanted to watch them solving crimes, nabbing criminals, battling drinking problems and going through tough divorces.

These days, the world is bored by cops. We want bed-hopping strumpets instead. We want to watch as wanton floozies cheat on their husbands, grope their much-younger lovers and have illicit dalliances with lesbian brides. We want to see classy courtesans put on maid uniforms and pee on prominent politicians. We want to gasp at the brazen, oversexed antics of the modern-day harlot, balancing her debauched profession with her everyday life.

Of course these shameless tarts’ stories are morality tales, just like they always were. But this time around, the moral of the story goes like this: Carpe diem, whores and tramplets! Get out there and grab every man, woman and man-child who strikes your fancy! As long as you lounge around in black lace thigh-high stockings, smoking and brooding away your ample free time as the camera circles, we’re behind you 100 percent!
