Playing it close to the chest

Toronto hookers aren't prepared to give anything away for free. While some hookers in Ottawa have bared their breasts for business, prostitutes here say they have no intention of busting loose.

"You don't think we attract enough attention already?" said one attention-grabbing lady at Church and Carlton Sts. wearing a top that would have made a Victoria's Secret model blush.

Many of the women said they heard of the Ottawa hookers who doffed their tops to raise a little extra business but brushed off the possibility of doing it themselves.

"We get paid to bare our breasts," said one woman. "I'm not giving them anything for free. I don't think any of the girls would do that."

Three prostitutes clustered together at Jarvis and Gerrard Sts said there was no chance of a topless sidewalk show.

"I already get attacked enough, never mind with my tits showing," said a blonde prostitute.

"Maybe on the beach if I was feeling really hot."
