The Commodification Of The Modern Ho

Written by


Being a hoe in 2010 is tantamount to being a Disney character in the ’90s.

I can hear the grumbles already: maybe this is just a balancing of gender roles. Men have been gallivanting around the world, championing their female conquests for generations. So it’s only right for women to be able to get recognized for their ability to score multiple men. But there’s a major difference; these men use celebrity to thrust them into the sheets of women across the world. These new celebrity hoes use their thrusts to propel them to celebrity without any non-sexual talents of their own.

The paradigm is shifting, people. Being a man’s man is going out of style while being a multiple men’s woman is a overnight shot into celebrity. It looks like I’m headed to becoming a parent whose son helps his sister pick out the stilettos she should wear if she wants to get gang-banged by Young Money on WSHH. Joy to the world. -- [ SOURCE ]

  1. I think this only works for non black females if you are talking about true celebrity i.e. making serious money via endorsements/fragrance/clothing lines etc. Black women who do these things may get a little bit of hood fame but definitely won't be popping up on W magazine like Kim K.

    As for the movie, I'd actually watch that. Loved the A on her shirt...

  2. @thecandyshoppe works for non blacks with a game plan true? how do you feel about the Kat Stacks' in the world? And it seems to have worked for Superhead!

  3. No if you notice Kat Stacks isn't even discussed in any type of real business sense and even Superhead with her book was like 15 seconds. What black woman who simply had a fat ass and an okay face you know has parlayed that into serious business ventures and money??

    Superhead. wasn't she a NY Times best seller???? And she still has more books to write and sell.

    But does Kat Stacks really need any business sense to get money? All she needs to do is keep snitching.

  5. I guess what I'm trying to say is that they might get a few moments of fame and a little bit of money but it doesn't translate into the type of money or business deals that say a Kim K would get...Even with Superhead having a best seller, you haven't seen her move into cosmetics/clothing/television/cover magazines. I'm just saying to be fair there is not one black woman who has successfully used just her sex/body game to go main stream.
