Public Service Announcement: How to Avoid Being Like Eliot Spitzer

We know many of our degenerates readers have probably paid for sex at one time or another. Which means you at least have something in common with anti-online gaming crusader/Ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer. Because he paid for sex. With Ashley "Kristen" Youmans (photos here).

However, our guess is you'd probably like to avoid his fate. But how???

Luckily the good people at Spike have put together a list of tips on how to avoid getting busted soliciting a prostitute. Sage advice for an unsagey world.

Photos of Ashley Alexandra Dupre aka "Kristen" the Eliot Spitzer Hooker

Above and after the jump are more photos of "Kristen," aka Ashley Alexandra Dupré (birth name Ashley Youmans), the high-priced prostitute from the Emperors Club VIP. Ashley banked $4300 for banging (hopefully with protection) FORMER New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, the anti-online gambling crusader who was awesomely and ironically busted when his bank became suspicious of high-level wire transfers.

The more pics that come out, the less manish the 22-year-old looks and more generally attractive. Maybe not what we expected looks-wise from a high-price hooker, but probably Parting Shot worthy given the right spread.

Many more photos after the jump.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre aka Ashley Youmans is Kristen the Hooker

This above is "Kristen," the high-priced prostitute from the Emperors Club VIP that put in a good two and half hours work in Room 871 at the Mayflower on February 13 with New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and is now going to be really, really famous.

The New York Times tracked her down today via her MySpace page. Her real name is Ashley Youmans, her stage name is Ashley Alexandra Dupré and she looks hot in some pics and sort of manish in others. All kind of confusing.

Ashley by the way is a "singer" and not just a "hooker" which you'll find out when you become her MySpace friend here.

Eliot Spitzer to Resign, Dropped $80k on Hookers the Past 10 Years

The anti-online gambling, hooker-lovin', steamrollin', corruption-bustin', ethics-preachin', self-righteous governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer will resign from office today, making it official at a 11:30 am press conference.

Spitzer has been consulting with his lawyers the past two days trying to arrange a plea deal. The disgraced Democrat and super delegate has been a page one news story ever since Monday, when news broke that he was Client 9 of the Emperors Club VIP prostitution ring, which the feds busted up more than a week ago.

Allegedly, Spitzer, a married father of three, spent Valentine's eve in Room 871 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington with an high-priced prostitute named Kristen, described as "an American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds."

Word came out yesterday from various sources, including the NY Post, that Spitzer dropped $80,000 on hookers over the past 10 years, so while he was being the moralistic tough guy against PayPal, Citibank and other online payment services and credit companies doing business with online gambling sites, the former Attorney General was banging whores.

Oh the Irony, Eliot Spitzer Hooker-Gate Investigation Initially Centered on Money Transfers

Looks like Eliot Spitzer, aka George Fox if you're a hooker named Kristen who tricks for the Emperors Club, was not as opposed to electronically transferring money for illegal activities as we once thought.

The embattled New York governor, who played a major role as state Attorney General in forcing money transfer services out of the online gambling business, apparently became the target of a federal investigation after his own bank reported that he was making suspicious money transfers. The feds initially thought the wire transfers were bribe related. But nope, it was money for hos.

Reports ABC: "It was only months later that the IRS and the FBI determined that Spitzer wasn't hiding bribes but payments to a company QAT, what prosecutors say is a prostitution operation under the name of the Emperors Club."

Governor Eliot Spitzer Was Client 9 in Emperors Club VIP Prostitution Ring

Playing online poker, evil.

Scoring yourself an expensive ho when you're a self-righteous, moral crusading married father of three, good.

At least that's what New York Governor and thorn-in-the-ass of the online gambling industry Eliot Spitzer, aka Client 9, was thinking on February 13 when he contacted Emperors Club VIP to arrange a meeting in a Washington hotel with a high-priced prostitute named Kristin (or Kristen), who we hear was "an American, petite, pretty brunette, about 5'5" and 105 pounds."

Can't wait to see her photos floating around. Sounds pretty hot.

The two met in room 871, but unfortunately for Spitzer, his initial phone call was wiretapped, and now the formerly squeaky clean crime fighter is under investigation in connection with the prostitution ring and likely on his way out of the governor's mansion.

Transcript from Spitzer's press conference today here.

UPDATE: Reading the court affidavit on Smoking Gun, looks like Spitzer paid Kristen $4300 for sex and had booked 4 hours with her but lasted less than 2 hours.

UPDATE: His rendezvous with Kristen wasn't Spitzer's first time. The moral crusader who considered online gambling a pernicious evil had credit at the Emperors Club, meaning he had previously paid money to the prostitution ring. Also, News Day blog says that the Emperors Club booker told Kristen that Client 9 "would ask you to do things that, like, you might not think were safe," to which Kristen said she could handle guys like that.
