All About Philadelphia Escorts.

A 15-year-old sold her seven-year-old sister for sex with up to seven men at a party near their home in New Jersey.
Police said the child later got dressed and two strangers walked her home. She was treated at a hospital.
The teenager, who stayed behind, also took money to have sex with others at the party in an apartment on Sunday.
She has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes. Her name was not released because of her age.
Police are trying to track down those who attended the party.
The girls’ parents reported them missing on Sunday afternoon and police were at the home when the seven-year-old returned.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, right, is sacked by Oakland Raiders defensive end Jay Richardson in the third quarter of a game in October.
And now for today’s episode of Where Did I Leave My Brain?, aka, If You’ve Seen My Mind, Please Return It, aka, What I’m Thinking Is How Great It Would Be To Actually Be Thinking:
* In Philadelphia, the Eagles continue to try to shop quarterback Donovan McNabb, while the rest of us look on with the kind of horror reserved for watching a car accident happen in slow motion. Seriously, what are they thinking? This isn’t a case of offloading some washed-up former great. This is a great with some tread left on him. He’s a 33-year-old Pro Bowl quarterback who, oh, by the way, has never killed any dogs, been arrested at a strip club or served time for a gun violation.

… We met for many hours with regard to this case. Mr. Downey said he wasn’t going to plead guilty to anything. He said he didn’t do anything wrong. He said it many, many times,” Egan testified.
While the decision about testifying was always Downey’s, Egan said he advised Downey not to testify at trial.
“It was going to be too risky a venture. He gets very angry and he gets very loud. He gets very stubborn. He would have buried himself had he testified at trial,” said Egan.
During the trial, Cauffman alleged Downey provided a fatal dose of cocaine to Burg when she visited his home between July 30 and Aug. 1 of 2005. According to trial testimony, Burg, who was working as an escort, was taken to Downey’s residence by a go-go dancer from a Philadelphia strip club and another man under arrangements made by Downey.

The feds had charged Madden with two counts of attempted forced labor, but those charges were dismissed. Ercole said after yesterday’s hearing that the charges were “not fully supported by the evidence.”
In her testimony before a federal grand jury, parts of which were made public in court documents,Zi said her friend, Hua, told her she could make more money by working at a massage parlor in Pennsylvania. That’s how the two ended up at Swan spa on May 4, 2006. It was the next day when Madden taught them how to bathe and massage a naked male client and when Zi and Hua told Madden they did not want to perform sexual massages.
Madden was previously arrested in October 2000 for prostitution in Atlantic City and served 15 days in prison. In March 2003, she was arrested for promoting prostitution in a Berlin Township, Camden County, massage parlor. She got two years’ probation.

June Havoc | Actress and writer, 97
The actress and writer June Havoc, 97, whose childhood in vaudeville as Baby June was immortalized in the musical Gypsy, died of natural causes Sunday at her home in Stamford, Conn.
Ms. Havoc, the younger sister of the famed stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, never reached the fame of her sister, but she had a varied, successful theater career that stretched from 1918 throughout much of the century.
With music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthur Laurents, Gypsy is considered one of the best musicals. The original 1959 production starred Ethel Merman, who played the ferociously pushy stage mother Mama Rose.
The play was based on a memoir of the older daughter, Louise, who grew up to be Gypsy Rose Lee. Ms. Havoc made no effort to obstruct the show, though she said in a 1998 interview that she detested it.

All she wanted was some “cheap World Series tickets” to see the Phillies last year, but instead Susan Finkelstein got arrested for prostitution.
…
She said she “suffered buckets and buckets of horrible humiliation” when her co-workers at the Wistar Institute at the University of Pennsylvania found out about her arrest on a charge of promoting prostitution – before she could tell her bosses. (She was later terminated from her communications job.)
And Finkelstein heard testimony from a Bensalem Township Police officer stating that she called herself a “prostitute” and a “whore” when they met at Manny Brown’s in Neshaminy Mall to talk about the tickets. Finkelstein denied in court that she ever used those words to describe herself.
…
Yesterday, she said: “Nothing I did rose to the level of prostitution, certainly. I put a funny ad in that was misconstrued and came out with double-entendres that I didn’t think too much about or intended to act on.”

Gazette: Themes of femininity and marriage circulate throughout your collection of poetry yet you say that the tones used in describing them are not indicative of your personal experiences. Where do these voices come from?
AS: I rarely write poems that are autobiographical in the sense that their events or their circumstances actually happened to me. But the poems do arise out of my own emotional experience. I try to find a voice or a character or a situation that can express an emotional truth—which for me works better than writing about my own past or day-to-day life. I may choose to write from the perspective of a single person, a married woman, a mother, a courtesan, a prostitute as a way to try on a certain kind of vulnerability, a certain kind of power.
