Local entrepreneur sees a future in a gentlemanly escort service

Ladies, when the invitation says plus one, and you don't have a plus one, what do you do?

Cleveland resident Ruth Johnston has the solution -- her escort service, Valentino's Rent a Gent.

Johnston, 48, is banking on her belief that Northeast Ohio women want to enjoy a glamorous night on the town with a gentleman without all the romantic pressures.

"This is a choice for women who know what they want, " she says.

She says that she likes to think of her service as providing the ultimate accessory for the girl who has everything. Except a date.
