I tried to explain that, aside from the compatibility factor that is inextricably tied to spending QT with multiple hour minimum whores, the vast majority of the captains-of-industry types who can afford and want to pay $10,000 a night for "companionship" *cannot* afford to be seen in public with barely legals.



These guys are usually married. It's often just for show, and the wife knows exactly what's going on, but there are limits.

I guess in Hollywood, the notion that a woman over 21 isn't past her prime is closer to heresy than saying Jesus wasn't the son of God.



The old man is using her for more than sex - he's showing off to the other old men, and they want more than sex. She must be elegant and comfortable in any setting or topic. Elegance isn't just a matter of looks or stance - everyone else at the dinner party has traveled the world on business and is well informed on current events in both Europe and the US. No 21 y/o is going to be able to avoid being awkward in such a group (how many 21 y/o PWs are going to be able to participate in a conversation about Davos?).

It will be interesting to see if the film gets the role of the Concierge right. My understanding, from an old-man's admin, is that this important. The admin calls the hotel Concierge and say something like "Mr. BigBucks will be arriving at 4pm Sunday with Suzy BigTits, who is not his wife, expects breakfast at 6:30am Monday and will depart at 3pm Monday." That's all the hint a Concierge needs: no one on the hotel staff will ever address her as Mrs. BigBucks, and if Mr. & Mrs. BigBucks visit the next weekend no one will recall seeing Mr. BigBucks or Suzy BigTits recently. If a big donor shows up at the charity event door with a woman who looks way too young and you want to find out whether to comment on her in the thank-you speech, the Concierge is to one to ask if you can't find the old man's admin.
