Do you have a list of clients that you see regularly that you have formed a special bond with? Would you feel 'cheated' if they saw another girl like how hairdressers get mad at you if you get your hair cut somewhere else?
Yes I do. And cheated? No, they have the right to do what they want (I don't own them). But obviously as hard as I work to be great for them and keep their business, and as dangerous as it is to have to take the chance on seeing a new man, obviously I prefer them to return to me than go elsewhere. If they're very disloyal, I'll admit I like them less (I'm attracted to men who want to keep me safe, which loyalty does...not only financially, but medically and legally). If they run around tons, I tend not to want them in my life. That said, it's up to them, and if they run around tons, they won't miss me when I don't want them back...so win-win. Variety-seekers will always be the way they are; they're less my type, sure, but they're not evil. I just prefer a different type of guy.
How do you handle first-timers or those who have limited experience with escort services? What are your suggestions to such clients to make your encounter the most enjoyable?
Calmly, of course (they tend to be overly nervous, which is understandable but makes things worse if not managed). I'd suggest they just relax. It'll likely be quite nice, maybe fabulous, and even if mediocre and not worth repeating, still a lot of fun if they choose someone reputable and don't act badly.
If a client decided to make you a present, what would you be happy to receive? What is your wish-list (maybe flowers, lingerie, parfume, music albums, books etc.)?
Jewelry, spa days, clothing, money, trips, food...all that is always welcome. My website discusses the things I like.
What makes you notable among other providers? What exactly, you believe, you're good at? What makes your service unique? What is your favorite kind of service?
I don't want to say that I'm better than others or unique (I may be, but then again we all are). My clients prefer me, but their clients prefer them.
My favorite kind of service is a few day trip somewhere fabulous, with someone very easy to be around (sane, calm, fun).
How do you prefer a client to make an appointment? What information is important for you? Is screening required before the appointment?
Via my website. The information required is posted there. And yes, screening is required of course. Good clients wouldn't see someone who didn't screen, and I want nothing to do with men who aren't as picky as I am. Discernment is sexy.
Do you ever get nervous before meeting a client? Is it kind of like preparing for a first date?
Yes, but not because it's like a date (that's the fun part). Because it may be someone who wants to lie to me and/or harm me. That possibility is always scary.
What sort of personality qualities does someone need to possess to be a successful escort?
To be able to act, to the best of one's ability, as the type the clients wants you to be. It's theater, with an audience of one.
If someone wished to become an escort, how would you recommend they go about it?
I wouldn't. I'd suggest they learn code instead, haha. Better future, safer life, and far easier and more profitable.
What are your dreams, future goals and aspirations? Short and long term?
To continue to be free and happy.
What types of clients do you deny to meet? Are there any restrictions?
Those who negotiate on anything, those who act bizarrely (either endogenously or because of drugs/alcohol), those who have poor hygiene, those I dislike badly enough for the money and plans to no longer be worth it (I don't need 100% compatibility, but at this point in my career I also no longer have to cater to someone I detest, the way escorts do when new and broke...thank God!).
What is the strangest request you have ever had from a client?
Oh, all the murdery psycho emails, I suppose. But those aren't clients, since they'd never get near me. The oddest from an actual client I saw? Probably extreme BDSM stuff (though I don't really think it's that odd...society tends to). The oddest to me? Men who thought they could stop paying me and date me for free (that's insane to me, though they didn't see it as such)...obviously they were banned from being clients, as if they don't want to spoil me we aren't compatible and they need to date someone else.
Can you tell us a bit about your first escort job?
He was a lovely man, with whom I traveled the world for years. We're still friends (he's requested to meet again, but for several reasons I'll keep private, it's better for him that we don't).
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
A scientist. I did it, and hated it. Box checked, then pivoted to business.
Has being an escort changed your view of men?
nope
How long have you been working as an escort?
On and off (I've taken a year or two as a break here and there) for 17 years. I've done this part time through grad school and aside from all of my jobs. And I'll continue to; it's the way I date (my fetish is rich men who spoil me; for me this is a lifestyle, more than a job per se).
How did you get into the escort business?
I heard about it in college, then decided to do it in grad school.
What's the best bit about being an escort?
The freedom from societal norms which make life for women pretty awful (have for all of human history). Not being a broken-down Stockholm-Syndrome having woman, as most have to be, to survive. It's a life hack, and worth the hate (read: envy) we get.
What don't you like about being an escort?
Societal stigma
How often do you work per week?
Anywhere from 1 to 4 days, typically. Depends on trips.
What are your turn-offs?
poor hygiene, frugality, mental instability
