Candy of Omaha - Trailblazer for Online Prostitution

When you start to study the history of online prostitution in the Omaha area, you'll eventually find that the gal in the photo at left (buxom blonde in black lace) was quite possibly the first extremely profitable temptresses to sell her body soley via Web networking.


She went by the name "Candy of Omaha."


Between 2004 and 2007, she single-handidly led johns and Candy-wanna-be's on a fast migration from the public streets to computerization and out-of-public-sight motel rooms.


And, with drooling sinners finding this image on virtually every well-known hooker portal promoting Omaha escorts, it's easy to see how so many johns would let themselves to be lured into surrendering $300 or more of their family's hard-earned cash to be with her.


Supposedly for an hour.

Wow!


Today, Omaha johns are still looking for the next great idol.


To give you a better idea of how she attracted saps, and more importantly their money, she listed herself as the following:


Age 21-25
Blonde
5-6 to 5-8 tall
D cup
facade101@hotmail.com
candyomaha@hotmail.com
(402) 315-7058
(402) 813-2786


The first e-mail address listed is apropos, isn't it? And, if memory serves correctly, she explained on Web sites that she was a college student and competed in body building competitions. No idea if that's true. But, that was the story.


If you e-mailed her, she replied promptly — usually date-stamped in the early morning — with a one-line message regarding where to meet. In her case, and with many other prostitutes I'd later learn through fake date requests, that the LaQuinta motel near 108th and Fort Streets has been the destination of choice for sex-for-money meetings in Omaha. In fact, the LaQuinta name has come up in so many conversations with Omaha prostitutes over the years, I can't help but think that the owners of the motel(s) are abetting this evil trade.


At least turning a blind eye to it.


This blogger obviously has no proof that the LaQuinta owners could ever prevent prostitution in their own establishments, but the thought runs through my mind of how could they not know when it's occurring?


I figured it out.


And, I'm not very smart.


Maybe the motel owners do suspect it, but are handcuffed to file a police report for lack of proof. Let's give the fine folks at LaQuinta the benefit of the doubt. Support them as best as you can. And, let's all try to keep a look-out for things we can do to make this community better.


Now, back to our fabled Web babe, Candy of Omaha. I have never actually seen her in person, but upon reading the reviews of her customers, her photos must have been dead-on accurate. Here is a sample of what a handful of her clients posted on underground bulletin boards:


January 2004
I first saw postings about Candy on the local boards and I was not sure if she was legit. There was a lot of buzz about her, how beautiful she was, what a great body she had and great personality. You know, if it is too good to be true then beware. Well, I could not resist finding out for myself if she was legit. We just don't have that level of quality providers in this area, mostly traveling providers come here but, not local of that quality. So I was eager to see for myself. I emailed her telling her I would like to see her and she emailed me quickly there after telling me to call her so we could talk more. I did and set an appt. with Candy for the next day. When I arrived at her incall location and she opened the door I'm thinking OK this is a sting...........


January 2004
I called Candy on a recent visit to Omaha. She agreed to schedule me the next day at her incall. At the agreed upon time, I met Candy. She is a lovely young woman who appears to be one of the best choices in Omaha. We visited on the bed for a short time and we decided to lose the clothes. Candy is a young lady just built for pleasure. She has an innocent face, pretty eyes, smooth skin, full breasts, trim waist, nice legs and a cute butt.


March 2004
Have had a couple of near misses in getting together with Candy. Moslty scheduling issues on my part. Had been reading about her on a couple of boards and TER. Consistant positive feedback has been there. Made our date at a hotel. She opened the door and WOW WOW WOW! She is beautiful and very intelligent. Golden brown skin, head to toe. Not a tan line to be found. Beautiful soft skin and mouth. Amazing smile! Dreamy blue eyes that I couldn't help but stare into. Very easy to talk to. She greeted me in an amazing peach colored camisole/thong combo. This girl is a beauty specimen. Hands, feet, nails, make-up all beautifully appointed. She welcomed me in, we exchanged hellos. She excused herself to the bathroom and told me to get comfy. Took my shoes and socks off as I like to have help getting comfy! I talked way more than any other visit with a provider. Maybe I'm a fool but I enjoyed my time and I looked at this hour as a get acquainted hour. Well worth it in my opinion. She's beautiful inside and out!


March 2004
Have been looking for a provider in Omaha worth trying and when I saw Candy's reviews and website, I figured the wait may be over. Made an appointment with Candy well in advance of a business trip because I figured she will get booked early. Initial contact by email and followed up with a phone call. Easy to get in touch with and very pleasant on the phone. I knew she would be attractive but when she arrived at my hotel, I was overwhelmed. Tall, tan, blonde hair, blue eyes, pretty face and a body that just cries out to be touched. Candy was wearing a long slinky black skirt, a wrap around top, strappy high heels and absolutely nothing else.


May 2004
Tried several times to hook up with Candy. Caught her one afternoon and boy was it worth it. Set up a time to meet, she met me at the door wrapped in a towel. Then the fun began.


June 2007
I saw Candy for the first time. She was fantastic. She really knows how to cater to professional people. When she opened the door I was happy to see that she was in fact great looking like her pics. Her breasts were exposed under her towel and they were fantastic.

All of this sounds so marvelous, right? Too much to deny your character for?

Apparently, every john in Omaha thought so too. Candy of Omaha had by far the most comments posted about her during the early 200s than any other prostitute in Omaha. Hands (and other extremeties) down.


So What Happened to Candy?
Did she get hooked on meth like many other prostitutes, lose her beauty and slide away into a street curb gutter?


Did she catch a disease? Did she possibly feel guilty about the real chance of her spreading venereal diseases to thousands of men and their spouses?


Did she graduate from college or get her masters or doctorate degree and no longer need the funds to finance it?


Did she simply grow weary of being glorified for only for sexuality instead her mind and spirit as well?


Did she suddenly realize the similarities of making love and the reception of the Holy Eucharist — the only two times in the world that one body can be inside another ... and we can be co-creators? Did she finally realize the real beauty of love?


I honestly don't know the answer. I pitched the idea of doing a story on the Candy and the prostitution problem in Omaha to Omaha World Herald writer Josefina Loza when she asked for story ideas several years ago; thought she had the resources and time to investigate it further than I ever could.


But, Loza declined not to take a stand on the controversial issue or pass it along to her collegues.

In 2007, KPTM Channel 42 scooped her with a series of reports on the topic.

About that same time (or prior) somebody I know submitted information to Omaha Police on two of the region's apparently most popular prostitutes — Candy of Omaha and a gal with the slug, "Priceless Treasures."


Shortly after, there were rumors swirling on the underground bulletin boards that Candy of Omaha and Priceless Treasures had been busted in stings. Many guys were worried that the prostitutes would spill names of customers — their names. Probably even got a few smucks worried — temporarily.


I have no idea if the filing of the tip and the supposed arrests were related. Probably not. The police were likely already long investigating things themselves. But, I do know both prostitutes eventually posted claims on their Web sites that they were retiring from the profession.


Call Candy of Omaha's former workline today and you'll get a recording saying she's still out of business. At least that's what it said at last check. Maybe somebody else has that number now.


In any case, the leader ... the innovator ... the mother ... the devil of online prostitution in Omaha seems to be history. Candy of Omaha as the johns know her is gone. She is merely a legend now.


Unfortunately, there are too copycats who have seen how such a business can thrive, thanks to her. The community of Omaha needs your help in herding these 'cats back into the bag.
