The only girls I know of those pictured are Amie and Denise. The correct spelling of her name is Amie, I found on the state inmate site. Amie used to be known on here as sweatpants girl, as she had this blue pair of sweatpants with a white stripe going down the sides that she wore probably for almost a year straight. She used to always be found around Motel 8 and also in the Woodlawn area around the motels. She got to where she had almost a zombie type wave to her when you'd pass. Amie doesn't have a social media page that I could find, so there's no other pics of her besides the probably dozen or so mugs, and we know that's being cruel to them to post that, said while rolling eyes. Amie is in Tutwiler until December, 2016.
Denise used to always walk up and down 50th Street. Anytime I'd ride down 5th, Denise would be somewhere down it. I never saw anyone interested in her. Later she started appearing on Oporto around the Chevron and Kangaroo, and on 1st around the bookstores. I've not seen her in a year or more.
Spoonful commented about the bygone days of mongering, and asked my opinion of the differences of it compared to today. Honestly, most girls on crack aren't going to have it together enough themselves to keep up an online ad. Most that do have handlers that do it for them. The problem nowadays is that the net is so readily available, and the girls know it is, and if they can't get it together enough to put up an ad, or if they don't deal with a handler who does it for them, there'll always be some captain save-a-ho that will come along to save the day and volunteer to do it for them. I can't say that the amount of girls on the street has changed that drastically in the years since I started mongering. It always will have a bit of luck and timing to find girls walking the stroll. Sure, there's less of a chance you'll find a truly gorgeous girl out walking the street nowadays, because of all the avenues they have available. But back then, same as now, it was always luck and patience which you both had to have in finding a SW. I always thought to myself I wonder how the mongering days were 10-15 years before my time, when the prostitution laws weren't in effect. I've been told of flocks of girls just standing on corners downtown, and that you could ride around where the Granada and Grammas were and whistle and go around the block and come back and there would be a row of girls waiting. Never was the days that good in my time. But back when I started the girls HAD to be on the stroll to find dates, or hovering outside their rooms, or waiting by the phone. Most good looking girls would get plucked up by someone and might be with them all night. The climate made it so the girls had to be out on the stroll back then, certainly not so much today. The only things in our favor today is that girls on crack tend to not keep up with their phones very well, or don't have the patience or money to put up a paid ad on CL or BP. As well, not all SW care to hook up with thug handlers. Most of the truly crack-addicted girls spend every last penny on their habit, and eventually end up back walking the street to feed their habit.
