A few weeks ago, I read that Darren Star, who created "Sex and the City," has a new project in the works at HBO: "Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl." The comedy series to be is based on the semi-autobiographical book of the same name by Tracy Quan. The series of confessional stories about life as a hooker in New York City started as a Salon column. Now, it may become the next "Sex and the City"--but racier. The show will "look at how power, sex and money collide through the eyes of a group of Manhattan's highest-paid escorts forced to juggle their johns, jobs and relationships." That reminded me that earlier this year, Laurenn McCubbin announced that Rent Girl, Michelle Tea's memoir of life as a sex worker, was optioned by Showtime. Apparently, whores are the new black.
