What's a lonely Republican male with marginal social skills supposed to do during those long, hot convention nights. Two ideas:
- Stay in his room watching the Gov. Pete Wilson welcoming video over and over on the hotel television set.
- Call GOP Escort Service, the leading provider of direct-to-the-delegate trophy dats.
GOP Escort Service (the acronym is for Good Old-fashioned Pleasure) plans to market its services heavily during the convention, said oner Renee Finney, who is figuring that the event will attract hundreds of men who are lonely or socially inept or simply "don't want to work hard for a date."
Finney said she decided "to get on the convention bandwagon" while designing her
Yellow Pages ad.
- What's out:
- GOP (Grand Old Party)
- What's out:
- GOP (Georgeous Outcall Pleasures)
"I wanted somthing with GOP," she said. "I came up with Georgeous Outcall Pleasures, but Pac Bell rejected it. It sounded too sexual or something. The word they objected to was 'outcall,' so I tried all sort of different words starting with O, but they didn't like any of them. Then I came up with this."
- What's out:
- Saturday night specials
- What's out:
- Convention specials
-
Escorts can run $150 for the first hour, but Finney said she is offering a number of convention specials:
- You keep a girl two hours and you get the third hour free.
- You pay for three women and they throw the fourth one in free.
- You go four hours and the first hour is $120 and the next three are $90."
Contrary to what folks may think, Finney insisted, none of this involves sex acts. Her escorts may be attractive, she said, but no one involved in the operation is that dumb.
