While we're all for entrepreneurship, we wish they would leave Jane out of it
May 28, 2009
Alert Janeite Laurel Ann sent us an article about what is plainly an escort service, though since the proprietors claim that there is absolutely, positively no sex involved and the “dates” are totally chaste, they call the agency Austen’s Janes.
Several things:
- Why did they have to drag Jane into it?
- Mets fans have to pay women to go to the ballpark with them?!? *falls off chair laughing*
- “Carlos” isn’t really “Carlos.” Might his real name be “Crawford” or “Willoughby,” one wonders?
- Being a cynical tar-hearted dried-up purist spinster Janeite, we suspect the founders’ high ideals of staying “chaste” won’t last long. They don’t call it the world’s oldest profession for nothing, you know. So leave Jane out of it, please.
In other news, the Philadelphia Phillies are STILL World Champions.

Ewwwwwww! Lydia Bennet is the only Austen girl who would ever do something like this. OTOH, I’m kinda surprised that the Mets themselves haven’t resorted to paying fans to come to the park. Might make it hurt a little less.
I liked the point about the “sex trafficking advocacy” angle of one of the escorts being more than a little ironic.
For sixty bucks an hour,I’d hire three for my boss’ work related visit.Only condition would be they would have to dress and act like lady Catherine,Mrs Bennet,and Anne Elliot’s older sister….
Of course my boss would be clueless as I doubt he has ever heard of Jane….Video tape anyone?
