imply more than met the eye, but just couldn't figure it out.

But, here are some tentative hypotheses.  Am I even close?

1. JC, according to at least one of the scriptures, dclared himself somewhere as a fisherman of men's souls;

2. when a woman's private parts are rankly odiferous, that sometimes is referred to as "fish"
[there is a terrible old joke about one such lady passing a blind man...];

3. con artists sometimes refer to their victims as "fish."  Can an unconsciously guilty conscience be compelling her to hint at the possibility she's not on the level?;

4. something having to do with the fishhead, on Annie's T-shirt, pointing to the right [seems really far-fetched, but what the heck].  and can there be some significance to the fact that the fishhead points to the left on the website" [even more far-fetched];

5. the fish represents a phallic symbol?;

6. the fish, turned sideways, represents a woman's pubic area?

Man, i am dying to get your take, ed2000.  Thanks for wandering over from P&R, I eagerly await the 411 on this.  I going back to the link and stare at that damn thing for more possible inspiration.

Just a few questions.

1. What do you mean by "managed?"

2. To what creed are you referring?

3. Why hasn't she chosen the "most charitable creed of Christianity?"

And a few comments and clarifications.

1. The name "Fallen" or "Fallon" was taken from the television show Dynasty and pronounced as the character on the show played by Pamela Sue Martin. She went into the industry with gusto, far from feeling fallen. She was far from hating it.

2. Yeah, "Call Girl" is still used by the general public. Primarily by those working from in calls made to an escort agency.

3. She never claimed to have worked as a high class escort for the entire 11 years. She's done some nude modeling. She danced for a couple years, primarily in Minneapolis. She was then pimped for five years. And afterwards, she became a high class escort. She catered exclusively to the very wealthy and very famous.

4. Annie has never performed in a porn film.

who, up until a few years ago, taught Mormon Sunday school.

As Beckett put it so elegantly in Waiting for Godot:

"The tears of the world are of a constant quantity."

Or put another way:  You win some, you lose some.

I respect different views, and I respect other's right to believe as they wish. I also recognize that there are many women, if not the majority of sex workers who are exploited or coerced in some fashion. But I am truly sick to death of hearing pseudo-Christians expound on their theory that every woman who chooses sex work must inherently have low self esteem, no skills or ability to work a 'real' job, a drug habit, a history of sex abuse, or a pimp who is forcing them. I resent the notion that I am somehow scarring my psyche or my soul by choosing the work I have chosen.

I admire their willingness to assist women who have fallen into this line of work unwillingly, or who do wish to get out of this line of work but are unable to. But enough please, with the generalizations, and the stereotypes that all sex workers must surely feel the same way, or be in the same dire circumstances.

I love what I do, I plan to continue doing it for as long as I can, and I am completely confident that my poor soul will be fine and dandy when it is all said and done. And along the way, I plan on putting as many smiles on as many men's faces as I can :o )

I have gone 180 degrees spiritually three times in my life- luckily only the first time intolerant of any other beliefs.  When you have a major spiritual foundation change when you've been arrogant in the past, it is most humbling and you become much more tolerant of others.

We all grow hopefully as the years go by and change, trying to find a belief system that works for us- gets us through the trials of life.

To me the greatest example of when it is working for someone is when it results in greater love and tolerance for others, even the ones hard to love!

We all need to find inner peace and reconcilation with what we do and who we are. If this works for some, then why not?

to those who want "to be saved" I have no feelings, one way or the other. If it makes her feel good, so be it.

Where the problem lies, is the fact that very few of the "born again" types can limit their ministries to those who actually welcome them. What happens, is at best they are annoying to the rest of us, at worst they become crusading angels, crashing down doors, trying to protect us poor sinners from ourselves, and causing way more problems then they solve.

I think we've all known the type, the ex junkies who used to be strung out on drugs, now they're strung out on the lord.

If that's what gets you through the day, I'm all for it, just don't assume that what the rest of us are interested in.

what the double entendre with the fish symbol ed2000 is referring to  could be?

I've been banging my empty head against a wall for the last day trying to figure it out.  My head really hurts, and the wall ain't looking all that good right about now.

Please!  I'm running out of aspirin and tylenols!
