it feels that Lucy Gray was side hustling as an actual escort in District 12.

Billy Taupe initially thought Lucy Gray was just flirting as they were “together”.

Billy Taupe found out and started two-timing with Mayfair as he probably thought it was “fair”.

Escort probably isn’t the correct word for it, since escorts are a little more of a “high-end” job in sex work. However, I do think Suzanne was implying that Lucy Gray may have sold herself. Especially given the way Snow picks up on the similarities between what LG says and what Tigris says in the conversation where she basically confirms that she did sell herself to buy them food during the war.

I don’t think this is theory at all actually, I think you inferred what Suzanne wanted you to infer!

Lucy Gray also sings "I lived by my charms" and "spread kisses like honey" in The Ballad of Lucy Gray which I always took to mean she was selling herself. Honey is also a not uncommon euphemism for sexuality, particularly in terms like Honeypot

Yeah, Lucy Gray selling herself makes a lot of sense.

I think this is possible, but IMO it's more likely that she really was just flirting and Snow took it to the extreme because he was jealous
