ep_2: Sex Worker Friendship and the Lusty Lady Union

Posted on: October 17, 2026

Lily Lady, and Maya are two escorts who are friends, and they know exactly which hotel the other one is in. I talk with them about the friendships that form when you speak the same language and what you see when you work alongside a friend. Then Jennifer Worley, author of Neon Girls, tells me about the women she met at the Lusty Lady, a San Francisco peep show where the dancers organized the first successful sex worker union in the US and then bought the place. The word that keeps coming up is civilians. As in, everyone else.
