The recession is hurting Amsterdam's prostitutes so badly that they have been forced to cut rates...... they are turning into mini Wal-Marts. You see.....this recession is not all bad. The law of unintended consequences strikes again!Prostitutes in Amsterdam’s red-light district are complaining that the World Economic Downturn is so bad that many hookers are discounting their services just to make ends meet, which makes it harder for all the other girls to make a living:
“Some of the girls are now doing it for 30 euros. My price is still 50 euros, but the men are playing us off against each other. Some want to pay only 20 euros,” she said.

Twenty-six-year-old Oxana, who shares Eva’s window, says her income has halved in six months while her window rent went up 25 percent in January.
On a “good day” she sees six clients but sometimes only one — at 50 euros per visitor not enough to cover her half of the 150 euro daily rent.
“But I can’t do it for 20 or 30 euros like some of the others. That is not money.”

Oxana, if you want to make more money, you must provide niches that the other girls dont.
An example, you could sell photos and videos of your work. I know pictures are not allowed,but maybe you could charge a fee for taking a picture.
If the bodyguard catches someone taking pics, he can make the person pay for the pics, and if they cant pay, the cam is destroyed or confiscated.
