Pronunciation: stat/hag

Sentence: Crystal had always had an affinity for gay men, they were among her best friends. Gay men, however, were not paying the bills and it was very expensive to keep up with their taste in nightclubs and fashion. So, Crystal decided it was time to change camps and went hunting for horny, rich and powerful straight men. It wasn't long before she was an established and accomplished stathag.

Etymology: status+ hag...this is a play on a descriptive phrase that I don't think I should type for fear of offending.
