Om


Om, water color on paper, 5x7 inch

Once a month, she flies over to Hong Kong and works the disco in the Peninsula Hotel. She also works in Singapore.  In between, she’s at the CM2 Club at the Novotel Siam Square, a fire burning inside.  In her next life, she wants to be a school teacher.

The girls at CM2 are a cut above, freelancers beholden to no one except themselves. Some are university students, others work at hotels, banks and department stores. The men they hunt are often high-income guys on business in Bangkok for a week.  There’s no upper limit.  If they are stylish, clever and speak enough English, they can end up in London, Beverly Hills or Sydney, living in a big house and driving a Mercedes. Or they can end up no where, too old, with too much mileage, unloved, their dreams of a better life bitter and unfulfilled.
