The Story behind the Twenty Dollar Hookers ~

 

At each Twenty Dollar Hooker retreat we are gifted a fun item.  We have gotten a coffee mug, a pencil pouch, a canvas bag and now this thermal tumbler.  Thanks, Lynn!!!

I'm not sure if I have shared the story of the Twenty Dollar Hookers.  First, the story behind the story.  I have been to Venice Beach, CA, a couple times.  Many of the vendors sell this t-shirt.


At one of the early retreats, there was a discussion about who is rooming with whom.  My roomie says, "I'm sleeping with Lauren.", to which I replied, "I'm no lesbian, but twenty bucks is twenty bucks.".  From there it took on a life of its own and from that day forward we have been known as the Twenty Dollar Hookers 😁

~ HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY ~

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren

Well, lucky for us you are not posting this on FB or Twitter as you would likely be banned for posting this LOL. I wonder if they still are permitted to sell those shirts? Oh, wait...I'm sure all the vendors have been shut down. Seriously funny story...and what a fun way to commemorate the birth of what is obviously a group with strong bonds. (I was going to say a "hard core of hookers" but that just sounded "wrong.") Hope your St. Patrick's Day will filled with fun, luck, and some green magic. ~Robin~

Oh Lauren, you're a riot. I never knew that you were called a 20 Dollar Hooker. You're lucky the Morality Squad doesn't show up at your door, lol... As for me, I've tried to rehabilitate myself and took on crocheting but I still call it hooking. Turning around is so difficult. lol...

Hugs, Julia

Hookers have a wonderful sense of humor! Isn't it fun to have a group you can laugh, plan, share and just for a little while forget about all the rest of the stuff going on in world.
