I ws going to say that some of these working girls looked very pretty and undamged by "the life." they look more clean cut then the hookers I saw in the early 90s.

Your facination with this subject is exhausting.

The location is the east side of 8th Ave between 42nd and 41st, directly across from the Port Authority.

True. But I'm sure there was alot of derelict prostitutes in the early 70's too. Heroin was very popular at the time.

I think the photographer wanted to capture these ordinary girl next door types. And did it quite well IMO.

Curious why you say she's a ho.

Yeah, MUCH less garish.

Crime has merely moved South...to Wall Street and on a MUCH larger scale.

Yes, the Times Square area was a far more interesting place a couple decades ago before it became a tourist trap called Disneyland North!
