Spitzer Hooker Booker Dupes Uma's Folks

The woman who helped book Eliot Spitzer's trysts with Ashley Dupre booked a job with Uma Thurman's folks -- under an assumed name.

Tanya Hollander, who knows a thing or two about secret identities, got a job at the Menla Mountain Retreat, an upstate conference center run by Robert and Birgitte Thurman, even though she was about to get probation for her involvement in the Emperor's Club VIP prostitution ring. She used a fake name, Tania Robyn Cyrlin, and didn't tell the Thurmans about her past.

The managing director of Menla says, "Clearly, had we been aware, we might have hired someone else."

3. She may have a nice figure but her face is very ordinary and plain.

4. Who gets the "boost" from this blow up doll? The Thurman's for providing a hooker in house, or the hooker for finding new johns?

5. Checking someone's references is limited to the info on they give you on the resume.
Specially if you list your maiden name like this woman did.

6. Ummmm-- what was she going to be doing at this resort? CLEARLY they offer services not listed on the regular massage/services menu. C'mon-- what's this big city broad doing applying for a position at a conference center out in the boondocks? She wasn't going to be waiting tables...

7. All this speculation, but there isn't enough information to really speculate - for instance, the type of job she got. It could have been waiting tables for all we know and no one does background checks for that. Easy to have a phone number of a friend for an employer to call for a "reference"

8. You aren't trying to say that hooker bookers (previously pimps) actually tell lies ???
