Pimp of the week: Tanya Skagle

What do you get when you need cash, your friend decides she can sell your body for a percentage of the profits, you decide to play along, and you both have a blast as Detroit sex workers?

In this case you get a female pimp and the man is the one who will be getting his hands dirty. HBO's new show Hung, with the tag line "It's hard to make an indecent living," is a beautiful window into sex work showing how a mainstream American might get started. The first episode was broadcast this week, but it looks like this show is going to be a fun light-hearted look at a difficult subject.

Michael Kenneth Williams, who played Omar in The Wire, was correct when he observed that HBO is the jungle and the rest of TV is a zoo. Thank you for bringing us the juiciest subjects, HBO - this blogger will be staying tuned and helping you take a closer look at the realities facing sex workers in America.

Tanya Skagle, you poem bread freak, congratulations. You are The Juicy Truth's official Pimp of the Week!
