I am so intrigued ^_^ They sound a bit more... reasonable? -- than other brothel owners. It kind of sounds like many others at the time dealt more with the Mafia and kidnappings. I like how they coined their name, too (after looking them up on Wikipedia). And I love Jack Johnson's story.
I'll have to read this. Maybe I'll get some inspiration from it, too...
Awesome. I tried to find it at Waldenbooks today (HIRE ME attempt '10 is in motion), but it wasn't there, though I did see Malachy McCourt's history of Ireland book, which is going on my wish list:)
I actually have an idea for the next chapter (finally), and if it goes as I'm thinking, Jon's night is going to start a lot sooner than he thought. The book made me think of the general store fic, too. Maybe Rob is like a bodyguard for some of Jon's employees? Or possibly a moonlighter at times? And Brian probably is too--or maybe he's just a client.
Fuckin' Waldenbooks-- they NEVER hire the right people! (said someone who may or may not be bitter)
And hey, there's always library requesting! God knows where my life would be without it.
God, I love your stories. I can def see Rob as a bodyguard (who can't?) who maybe once got mistaken for merchandise and could use the money so he went for it (and intermingles the two jobs). I can see BriWi as more of a client-- why I don't know-- maybe because he has the "real news" authority about him?
They don't! I remember you telling me about that last year. They're a fucking retail book store--must they really be that dickish?? I mean, the new hires from last summer are all gone now--PICK SOMEBODY WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT BOOKS WHY DONCHA?? Ahem.
Yeah, I'll just have to give my librarian a list of requests because we don't have anything in our tiny chapter:P
Yeah, Rob escorting the escorts--busting mugs of Big Daddy Dave's cohorts. Should Ollie be among Jon's employees? It seems like he would need the most, er, protection;) And for some reason now I can't remove the image of Rob dancing around in leather bikini underwear (in front of a rather elderly woman). That is so Jason, though... and probably did take place in a segment that I've forgotten. I don't see BriWi as more than a client either, though I see Jon as his preference. Perhaps the pimp makes certain exceptions for co-conspirators? I still like the idea of Aasif as a bare knuckle boxer, and have to make him and Stephen spar at some point.
Awww, I can see that as seeds for Oliveriggle since Rob's protecting Ollie so much (and the both of them maybe sampling the other's wares-- heh-- sorry, I've had "Love For Sale" in my head since I read this book). I know Jason danced down to his tighty-whities in front of a gay translator (who was pointedly not interested) and walked the runway in them (*snort*). Man, Rob in leather bikini underwear... *eyes glaze over* I'm sorry, what

I did think of your Butt Classy fic in several parts (specifically the crueler madams/pimps "disciplining" their "employees"). ^_^
