what does "honest hooker"mean?
“Do you know the Bestiguis?”
“Only what Lula told me, that he was sleazy and she’s a walking waxwork. I don’t need to know her. I know her type. Rich girls spending their ugly husbands’ money. They come to my shows. They want to be my friend. Gimme an honest hooker any day.”

Question

Answer

He's comparing Mrs. Bestigui to a prostitute, but a dishonest one because she doesn't admit that she married Mr. Bestigui just for his money. He prefers an honest hooker, a woman who admits that she's a prostitute rather than pretending she's a loving wife.

Answer

A normal, straight-forward prostitute.
He would prefer an up-front person, than a person that pretends to be something they aren't.
