Cosby goes inside life at the Bunny Ranch

Another star at the Bunny Ranch stable is Kandi.  At 32, the small-town girl from a Methodist family in southern Ohio was an aviation mechanic in the Navy.  She married a Marine, got divorced.  And when her husband fell way behind on child support payments for her 11-year-old daughter, she made the big choice for the big money.

She also recently sat down with MSNBC's Cosby to talk about life on the ranch.

COSBY:  How did you go from being a churchgoer with a church-going family to this?

KANDI:  you know, my mom and dad had raised me that not to judge, you know?  You treat people the way you'd like to be treated, to not be judgmental, get to know people before you say or do anything because you got to walk in their shoes before -- you know?  And you know, it was my mom and dad that had told me, you know, there was Mary Magdalene in the Bible and, you know, Jesus saved her.  I mean, she was getting rocks and things thrown at her. ...

COSBY:  Did you ever say, I'm going to get struck dead?

KANDI:  No, never, because even after every party, I thank God for everything that I have.  ... Because to me, when I pray, I don't pray for money, but I do pray that an angel walks in here, you know?  To me, it's a service.  You know, it's not like we're going out man-hunting  ... the men come to us, married or not, and it's freedom of choice.

COSBY:  How many men that come in here are married?

KANDI:  The majority.

COSBY:  The majority?

KANDI:  Yes.  I think it's that they're looking for something that they cannot get at home.

COSBY:  What's the craziest experience you've had in here?

KANDI:  A man and woman, a couple, a married couple, coming in, and the man dressed as a Catholic priest and his wife dressed as the little school girl, Catholic school girl.

COSBY:  Role playing.

KANDI:  Yes.  Role playing, yes.

COSBY:  What's the most you've made in one night?

KANDI:  On my part, $12,000.

COSBY:  Twelve thousand bucks?

KANDI:  Mine.  Right.  Take home.

COSBY:  How many hours were you working?  How many people were you seeing?

KANDI:  Probably over 14 hours and probably close to eight people.

COSBY:  What did you say to your parents, Your daughter is a working girl?

KANDI:  Yes.  I had sat them down at their kitchen table, and I felt like we're all adults here, you know?  And I said, Either one of two things.  You can either disown Lindsey and I because she's my daughter, she goes with me wherever I go -- not here, you know, I'd never bring her here ... and then I said, Or you can be a part of our lives and accept me because this is what I do.

And then I just told them I work at a brothel.  I said it is legal prostitution.  And my mom cried a little bit.  My dad just kind of looked.  And he just said ... that if anything would ever happen to ... anything needed for my daughter, they have access to get money.  And you know, my dad was just, like, Well, we kind of had a feeling because you don't make that kind of money in dancing ...
