David Gold
David Gold, now a Deputy Probation Officer, is a mandated reporter to the state, a trained observer. Gold traveled a long road to arrive in the position to protect the community and ensure a safe environment. In some ways this job is similar to his role as a driver for escort services and bachelor parties; he has always been a people watcher. His years as a driver allowed him many opportunities to observe human behavior; he did this for so long that people’s behavior became quite predictable. From the age of 19 to 30, Gold drove for dancers and escorts. He drove for bachelor parties, several escort services, strip-o-gram calls, and private parties. Gold’s role was much more than just a driver; he was a coordinator, protector, friend, therapist, and counselor.
Gold earned his B.A. in Psychology and Criminal Justice in 1993. After college he continued to work with those women with whom he had developed a good working relationship.
Daisy Lamar
Daisy Lamar has never worked in the sex industry, but has often pondered what it would be like. In an interview with a stripper at The Crazy Lady in Austin, Texas, Lamar first began to glimpse the world of sex workers. The stripper’s jokes about her bad childhood and her lesbian co-workers revealed the troubling and psychological aspect of this world to Lamar. This began her interest in uncovering this dark and mysterious world.
The relationship between Lamar and Gold affords the best of both worlds, combining the role of a professional observer with that of a professional writer. The combination of these two individuals and their talents provide a uniquely rich source of innovation and inspiration for this endeavor.
