Street Walker Goes Legit With Web Cam Site

Florida Street Walker Goes Legit With Web Cam Site
Renee Holly spent the beginning of her life walking the streets, selling her body, and becoming addicted to drugs. But as she approaches 50, her tale has taken a surprising, technologically fueled and somewhat happy turn.

After going sober about a year ago, Holly stumbled across Craigslist and listed an advertisement under its Erotic Services section. The response her ad received was immense. Renee stopped walking the streets and now uses the Internet to find "johns" (customers), which makes her feel safer. Now, she is trying to go legit. She blogs, has a Web site, and gives private webcam shows for $6 a minute.

Renee hasn't stopped selling herself just yet. But she has started amassing a small stock of cash in a business account from her webcam income. She only makes about $1.50 out of every $6 that customers pay for her webcam shows, but it's the start on the road to the safer life Renee so craves.
