how odd is this?
So, I'm tooling around the web, looking for pics of Maiden Street because I'm thinking of send vamp!Willow and Spike there, when I find this bit of info:
The standard price list on Morton Street (what Maiden Lane was called when that area was the red light district) was as follows:
Mexican women, 25¢
Black, Chinese, or Japanese women, 50¢
Frenchwomen 75¢
American women $1.00
Red-haired women (especially if Jewish): negotiable
San Franciscans believed that redheads, especially Jewish redheads, were sizzling hot.

That bit about the redheads, especially Jewish redheads, really threw me since I'm sending Willow there, although I have to admit I'm not sending her back in time to when prostitues worked that area.
