A Vancouver woman is selling a business idea billed tantalizingly on Craigslist as "Truly 100% Recession Proof." The 140-page, "A to Z" plan being pitched online targets those looking for a foolproof money-making operation during the economic downturn and covers everything from how to set up an office to marketing and promotions. And then there's the part about hiring escorts. "If [you're] tired of this changing economy . . . maybe this is for you. What does your financial future hold for you? Are you going to be able to pay off your home and retire early realistically or is it all just a pipe dream?" read the Craigslist posting, which advertises an "escort agency kit." "It sounds like a sales pitch but it's not," says Bianca, who promises to reveal all the secrets of running an escort agency and make those who buy the kit flush with cash. The 41-year-old former escort-agency owner, who asked that her real name not be used, has been selling the kit "off and on" for five years. But last month, with the economy worsening, she said she decided to ramp up efforts. She created a website, TheEscortAgencyKit.com and posted on Craigslist. At the Vancouver Taboo Naughty But Nice Sex Show earlier this month, interest in the kit was "phenomenal," Bianca says. After returning home from the show, she says, she received 95 inquiries about the kit. Operating an escort agency is not illegal, she says. "Whatever two consenting adults do behind closed doors is strictly up to themselves. You're only an agency booking time." Of course, not everyone will jump at the chance to run an escort agency. "There's a lot of preconceived notions out there," Bianca says. However, she says the kit appeals to a broad range of people, especially those considering the opportunity to, as the Craigslist posting puts it, "Start Your Year Off making some serious money!" Indeed, an escort agency will always be a money-making machine, Bianca says. But they are especially profitable in an economy such as this one. "The more frustrated men get, the more sex they have to have," she says. "When the boys can't come home to their wives and tell their wives they're losing everything by the seat of their pants, some of these men get escorts."
