You need to adjust your thinking to 2008 and the market conditions. We are in a deflationary spiral... that is taking all asset prices to 1997 levels. Wages will be there too.
Those girls being booked 4 to 5 times a week fall under the "special" category referred to by Paul above.... but even they can not survive when the macro picture is falling apart. For example, a local tile guy was laying marble at $15 sq ft + materials during the housing boom. He will now lay it for $5 sq ft... as the market conditions have changed, he needs to eat, and I may or may not want to lay the marble. The ying and yang of economic cycles...
If you are still paying what you paid in 2004-2006 for talent in 2008 you need to examine the situation more closely.
