{{quote| '''Kaylee''': How many fell in love with you and promised to "take you away from all this"?<br />

** One ''[[~~Firefly (TV)|~~Firefly]]'' episode, ''Heart Of Gold'', is about an old colleague of Inara's asking for her help on behalf of her whorehouse (brothel of unregistered hookers) to protect an unborn "whore"'s baby from being kidnapped by its father.

* The first season of ''[[CSI]]'' has Nick falling for a hooker, who is indeed killed by her pimp. Her pimp claims she was going back to school to ''recruit'' for the job and leave him.

* "Tomorrow We'll See" by Sting is based on a documentary on teenage transvestite streetwalkers in Brazil.

* The music video for "''Prayer''" by [[~~Disturbed (Music)|~~Disturbed]] has one of these that had recently been bought/used. The theme of the song is one of trial and tribulation, so her situation is made decidedly more tragic by images flashing on the screen showing her [[Children Are Innocent|as a little girl]], [[Break the Cutie|before she had to turn to her current life]].
