Line 8: Mind you, she might be arguing cases before a court of law in a few years yet; she could well be putting herself through law school. But for the moment, she is a prostitute. Far likelier than other kinds of prostitutes to be an [[Ethical Slut]], she might not even charge for sex. Instead she calls herself a courtesan or an escort and charges only for her company, regardless of whether there is sex or no. The [['''High-Class Call Girl]]''' is the highest class of prostitute and one that is usually safer, pays more and is seen as more glamorous. It allows for highly attractive actresses to look convincing as prostitutes and do plenty of [[Fan Service]]. Her clientele will mostly be men in the upper echelons of society; expect at least one of them to be a politician, particularly one [[Hypocrite\|who is always publicly stressing good old fashioned conservative Family Values]]. Having said that, if these girls are anything like their [[Truth in Television\|real-life]] counterparts, they cater to a higher-class clientele because they are classy, well-educated, and ''smart''. The nature of this clientele may also lead to them becoming involved in a [[Hookers and Blow]] situation. Compare and contrast [[Dominatrix]] and [[Silk Hiding Steel]]. Compare [[Gold Digger]]. If they limit themselves to one client, they are [[The Mistress]]. In [[Real Life]], the basis for the [['''High-Class Call Girl]]''''s attractiveness in many cases does not stay solely in her appearance, attitude or intelligence, but in her ''inaccessibility'' - the mere fact [[Refuge in Audacity\|she charges breathtaking amounts of money is a guarantee that she is not for everyone]], and her company makes the client part of a very restricted club, which is far more glamorous than simply paying for sex or company. {{examples}} Line 26: == ~~Comicbooks~~Comic Books == * One volume of ''[[The Boys]]'' has a superhero party called Herogasm, where the majority of the country's ~~heros~~heroes gather and have wild sex with each other and the high class call girls there. At one point, The Homelander attempts to use one of these girls to distract his uber -competent [[Magnificent Bastard]] boss from Vought American. * Katchoo was one during her years in LA in the history of ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]''. She looks back on this time with nostalgic fondness and love, but also with horror, disgust and revulsion. It was during this time that she met Emma, the first person to actually be ''nice'' to her except for Francine, and the woman who took her off the street, gave her a a place to live, and whom Katchoo eventually fell in love and escaped with, but Emma is also the one who introduced her to the world of prostitution and, more importantly (And traumatically), Darcy Parker, whose psychotic tendencies and obsessions drove Katchoo to drink, abuse drugs and suffer from crippling emotional issues for years. {{quote\|'''Emma:''' Nervous? Well, don't be. You'll do fine. Act shy but interested. They love that. And don't fidget... they hate it if you're nervous. Aw, c'mon, honey... its not like it's gonna kill you!"}} Line 33: * Trish from ''[[Knights of the Dinner Table]]'' might not be quite as high priced as some of the others on this page, but she is certainly classy, well-educated and smart. * A one-shot [[The Punisher\|Punisher]] story had Frank using one of these as an accomplice to get close to some corrupt politicians/corporate goons in order to...well, [[Kill'Em All\|do what he does best]]. == Films == Line 47 ⟶ 46: * Severine in ''[[Belle de Jour]]''. * Chelsea in ''[[The Girlfriend Experience]]''. Offers low five figures for the titular experience, and finds her clients are starting to get wary given the economic crisis. Bonus points for being played by a pornstar. * ''[[American Psycho]]'' Several times, along with numerous [[Streetwalker~~\|Streetwalkers~~]]s he kills, in many different ways. * Liz Blake in ''[[Film/Dressed To Kill\|Dressed To Kill]]'', who's on the phone with her broker between johns. * ''[[Memoirs of a Geisha]]'' is set in Japan about the girl Chiyo who trains to become the esteemed Geisha, Sayuri who is primarily an artist but is required to sell her virginity to become official. Line 66 ⟶ 65: * Servilia in the ''[[Literature/Emperor\|Emperor]]'' books ensures that her brothels are staffed entirely by girls like this. She herself also qualifies, and is so successful that she can influence the senate. * ''[[Thais of Athens]]'' stars the (in)famous Greek hetaera of the title as the protagonist. There is also her best friend Aegesichore. * Discussed in ''[[The Wise Man's Fear]]'': Denna rescues a runaway girl forced to play prostitute to make ends meet from a violent client, then has a long talk with her about how if she doesn't want to return home she can at least make herself one of these. The glamor only goes so far, though: Denna compares a [[High-Class Call Girl]] to a normal prostitute by comparing a lord's well-kept horse to a shabby, run-down steed - including the part where at the end of the day they both get ridden. * Mona Sofia from Federico Andajhazi's ''The Anatomist'' is the most beautiful, cynical, and expensive prostitute in the whole Venetian Republic. A whole chapter is dedicated to the [[~~Squick\|squicky~~squick]]y circumstances behind her success. {{spoiler\|She meets an anvilicious and tragically ironic end.}} ** Also {{spoiler\|Ines de Torquemada, after [[Break the Cutie\|being emotionally broken.]] [[Tear Jerker\|She doesn't end up much better]].}} * ''[[In Death]]'': Charles Monroe is definitely a High Class Call Boy. Eve is friends with him, even though his profession bothers him. There is this one [[High-Class Call Girl]] who ends up murdered in ''Indulgence In Death''. Line 88 ⟶ 87: * The episode "Pleasure is My Business" of ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' had a high-priced call girl who moonlighted as a [[Serial Killer]]. * Blair's new friend Brandice turns out to be this on ''[[Gossip Girl]]''. * Ted ''believed'' that the date Barney got her for an award ceremony was one in ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]''. The series of [[Accidental Innuendo~~\|Accidental Innuendos~~]]s (some of which were extreme cases of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]] - you can't really make a more direct reference to anal sex on prime time TV...) didn't help. {{spoiler\|She actually ''was'' a paralegal.}} * In ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community/Recap/S1/E11 The Politics of Human Sexuality\|The Politics Of Human Sexuality]] Pierce's girlfriend Doreen is an escort. Curiously (considering this is Pierce we're discussing), he ''doesn't'' have to pay for a date with her. {{spoiler\|At least initially.}} * Reed from ''[[Homeland]]'', who is part of sheik's harem. One character calls her a hooker, another a paid girlfriend. Line 94 ⟶ 93: == Music == * ''Killer Queen'' by [[Queen]] pretty much defines this trope.<ref>She's also an assassin!</ref>. == Tabletop Games == * The Vodacce courtesans in ''[[~~Seventh Sea\|~~7th Sea]]''. Line 111 ⟶ 110: == Webcomics == * Debacle in the ''[[Insecticomics]]'' is a well-respected actor and cultural icon, mainly due to her [http://www.insecticons.com/insecticomics/v6/592.html Debbie Does Daebola] series. No one seems to have a problem with this, besides the local network executive (whose problem is mostly because she has no idea what the porn is about even after seeing it). * Bridget O'Brian in ''[[Tales Of Gnosis College]]'' is a beautiful and talented college student who agrees to spend time in a sultan's ~~harem -- even~~harem—even going through a mock slave-auction to get ~~there -- partly~~there—partly in return for a hefty fee paid to her for her services, although she also claims to be doing it as a mode of sociological research.
