Hello dear blog visitor! Whether this is the first time you have perused my site or not, one thing is for sure; coronavirus is impacting this industry and, like many ladies in the business, I am taking precautions.
Rather than fully abstain from appointments or take them and cross my naive fingers, I've come up with over a dozen alternative options and counting, I Tweeted about a good 15-ish ideas overall and it's still a work in progress that is subject to change based on additional brainstorming and more.
Let me say two things:
1) The brainstorming process was downright fun and creative! One of many silver linings to the current situation.
2) I am grateful not to be receiving propositions from "gentlemen" (or couples) trying to exploit the current situation, which is rendering some escorts desperate and vulnerable, while exposing some true classism in the biz (primarily in the form of escorts refusing appointments judging escorts who are conducting "business as usual").
While Tweeting "alterna-ppointment" ideas, I realized I had to aggregate and post them to my website because I'm often guilty of assuming every prospective client who finds me through an ad or Google looks at my Twitter feed or follows me there. Not all clients are comfortable using that social media platform (for these purposes, at least), which is totally understandable; I have a lot of discomfort around Instagram because I use it a lot in my regular life and it's so phone-based, a secondary and secretive Instagram account on the same phone, through the same app, makes me very uneasy and at risk of making a costly mistake.
Anyhow, here is a list of ideas I've come up with so far. It is subject to change as far as further expansion and tweaks. Also, I am mulling over the rates so please inquire anytime about what kind of offering and time amount you seek. Lastly, I prefer appointments that involve meeting at my incall (with limitations on physical proximity/contact) and phone/text/pictures over anything video-oriented. I value my privacy, which is why I blur my face, so I am only open to Facetime/Video appointments if I film from the neck down OR wear something sexier than a paper bag over my face or head (ideas welcome!)
1.) Remote video appointments (with my face cropped OR covered with props, masks etc...) I prefer using my laptop for this over FaceTime. Inquire about rates and parameters/time increments.
1 1/4.) Picture Packages! Inquire for rates: NO FACE PHOTOS, but I will send different numbers of pics that wouldn't be allowed on Instagram or Twitter for appropriate rates: for example, 2-5 topless photos for ___ versus 2-5 fully nude photos for ____ Also, I know some of you are foot fetishists! I could send photos of my finished self-pedicure or send pics showing off my awesome arches or my cute toes in peep heels. Just tell me what you're seeking and I'll quote you a rate!
1 1/2.) Used panties/stripper heels/bras etc via mail or "hands free" delivery! As a former stripper, I have lots of clear heels and rhinestone thongs tucked deep into my closet. Having decided never to work at a strip club again (because I am sober and well into my 30's!) I am not attached to these items. I know some guys prefer used/dirty gross stripper heels and I sure as hell have those. The thongs are currently clean, but I can wear them a bit before sending or delivering them to you as well.
1 3/4.) Phone and Text Packages: Inquire for Increments of phone time or text message retainers/exchanges.
2.) Phone sex, baby! Every time I see the hilarious movie "For a Good Time Call...." I fantasize about making easy money as a phone sex girl. In real life, I know it's not that easy. Anyhow, this is something I'm comfortable with as a non-face-showing escort who some clients already pay for phone time (one in particular LOVES a combination of talking/venting, talking dirty and texting photos, for example). Also, I have a few good accents up my sleeve! For some reason, I've got a dead-on-balls-accurate Brooklyn/North Jersey style of Italian-American accent like Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny, despite growing up with a different background in New England.
3.) Strip tease and modeling (available in person at my incall, by video OR by photo) Please inquire!
4.) Role Play! Sexy Professor/Librarian or SchoolGirl are among the countless choices I can think of. (Available in person at my incall, by video, by phone or by photo)
5.) Exotic Dancing/Strip Tease Dance (SIX FOOT RULE!) I was a stripper before escorting and I've danced at clubs and fitness studios plenty since then, so I am pretty good at stripper-style dancing, strip-tease dancing and even random flirty/provocative styles like sexy hip-hop dancing (if it involves naughty lyrics and grinding on the floor or twerking, I'm in) No traditional lap dances or pole dances available, but dammit, I'd love to get a temporary pole set up in my living room......(rushes to Amazon and adds one to WishList). Available at my incall, by video or by photo collections. Also, being from Massachusetts, land of the notorious 3 foot "air dance" lap dance, I'm gonna need you to take that number of feet and DOUBLE IT! (had to get that hacky joke in....)
6.) Amateur Therapist Violating Patient-Client Boundaries: Ok, this a) falls under the role play umbrella and b) is of course, not to be confused with proper therapy from a qualified professional. However, I'm happy to simply be your non-judgmental sounding board and share my insights (if desired) as an unbiased third party. Similarly, the idea of playing therapist, but wearing an extremely provocative outfit (which I might remove bit by bit) turns me on big-time! Available at my incall or by phone/video.
7.) Date Night In! I am someone whose "love language" is food, so I'd love to cook a dinner for two and enjoy it with you by romantic candle-light (hey, all restaurants are closed!) This option is the best of both worlds because it is a "public" appointment in a private setting! Dinner and a movie, quick afternoon aperitif, other ideas welcome! Available at my incall.
8.) Fitness Friends (With Limited Benefits): You know how they say "those who play together stay together?" They say that about couples who work out together, too. Whether you're simply a guy who LOVES him some yoga pants on a lady and want me to model my extensive athletic-wear collection for you OR you want to blow off some physical steam in a safe fashion, let's do it (Nike swoosh style....not really, cause I'm not a big Nike fan). Let's face it, lots of you guys use "going to the gym" as a cover story to see escorts. With most or all gyms closed, how about "meeting a friend for a walk/jog" and seeing me at my incall? (we could literally walk/jog or run around outdoors, too). If you want to take advantage of this time to get in shape, I am HAPPY to switch into drill-sergeant trainer mode, too! (Dominatrix fantasies combined with improved fitness, perhaps?)
9.) Short smut pieces (or tastefully written romance pieces). Samples of smut available for a small fee: $100 each for up to 600 words, $150 w/a couple PG-rated photos, $250 w/4-6 naughtier photos, but no face photos offered, which I’m sure u understand. Romantic pieces are also available (with or without photos) and rates will depend on word/page count or "per piece." I posted one small teaser smut sample here.
10.) Geisha style tea service/entertainment: I have the gear, but not the ethnic background....If you want to enjoy relaxing conversation and some Geisha-style fashion and entertainment on my end, drop me a line! Unfortunately, some of my artistic talents aren't portable, but I can certainly dance for you or provide other sources of not-super-geisha-ish entertainment such as open mic style storytelling and dancing. I promise to work on my Memoirs of a Geisha style fan dance (and learn an instrument besides the piano) during my spare time!
11.) Night at the Opera! I've been a "Met Live" nerd for years (thanks, Gramma!) and right now, the Met Opera is doing free streams of various opera performances. Unlike Julia Roberts in Pretty Women, I know who Renee Fleming is, understand La Traviata (and its pseudo-irony) as an Italian speaker and come from the well-versed "Renaissance Woman"/liberal arts background that is now endangered. I have several fancy dresses with no place to wear them, so let's fake it just for fun! With so many weddings and other "dress your best" events canceled, the PJ's thing gets old after a bit. In fact, you might crave dressing up and if you don't, heck, I'll do it and you can wear your civvies for the sake of discretion. Available at my incall.
11) TIME AND COMPANIONSHIP! Yeah! Imagine! You heard me.....Like, literally, you can have a specified amount of my time plus the pleasure of my company during that time! Like I said, I'm a "Renaissance Woman" and I can and will talk about anything and everything! I am capable of shutting up if you wanna do most of the talking, though. In fact, that leads me to the next idea.....
12) Tantric Tease Session: We meet in person, undress and sit about SIX FEET apart and try like hell to maintain discipline! We don't speak, we just admire each others bodies and while playing out fantasies in our heads or peacefully meditating (eyes open preferred) and enjoying quiet contemplation with a view.
13) You please you, I please me, we're a happy coterie....with a great big vibrator and a blown kiss from me to you, won't you say you want me, too. (You get the gizzt! Available by video or in person at my incall....phone works, too)
Please note I have only chosen a clear-cut rate for one of the ideas so far; written smut pieces (with optional photo add-ons). I might post rates for each service (and increment of time) offered in the near future, but for now, I'm going to handle it somewhat case-by-case. One client who made an appointment deposit is interested in a specific remote idea for now, to give an example. Others who have made deposits are being kind, patient and flexible and I appreciate that!
Ok, I have spent too much time on this blog post, yet failed to cover all the ground I wanted to, much like my academic work! Getting long-winded while failing to hit crucial points is kind of my M.O! The last thing I have to add is that, whatever we decide to do, I accept Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle, Chase Quickpay, "hands-free" cash, wired cash (ask for details), single use Vanilla Visa gift cards (whether you bring one in person or send me card info remotely) and other forms of gift cards and payment, but the ONE thing I absolutely CAN NOT ACCEPT is PAYPAL, they suck! Also, please do not purchase gift cards that are meant for reloading like GreenDot etc...While I'm glad these cards exist for people who can't open checking accounts etc....reloadable cards are notoriously affiliated with underground economic activity and using them without a job-related direct deposit is red flag central.
Can't wait to hear from soon of you, meet you, speak with you and so on! Let's hope this curve gets flattened and some degree of normalcy returns sooner rather than later. But most of all, let's focus on what we're grateful for. I'll start: I'm grateful for the following:
1) awesome existing clients and clients who have made deposits that are willing to wait in lieu of having their deposit returned.
2) Flexible self-employment. While my primary source of income is subject to MAJOR DISRUPTIONS like the current pandemic, there are always creative ways to work around things! It's always good to build bridges because it doesn't just balance out "burned" bridges, it can come in handy when the unexpected occurs.
3) Remote school and freelance writing. This falls under the "flexible self-employment" umbrella....well the freelance writing, at least. Can you imagine how much more difficult researching my academic work would be if things like JSTOR didn't exist? I'm old school and love hard copies of books, but any resource I can't access in a tangible way is pretty accessible remotely.
4) Quality time for reflection, self-improvement, self-inventory and expanding my mind. Once I finish a huge academic project, I get to enjoy some down time to pleasure read and do some extra home workouts, cook more and literally take honest stock of my life from a pragmatic perspective. It's time to resume journaling! I remember starting a new journal way back in 2005 because of the massive tsunami that devastated much of Asia. When a then-coworker (at a menial job...this was before I had degrees) said the tsunami occurred because "God doesn't like that part of the world" I was fired up and ready to write!
5) Living alone (but also having a dog and neighbors in close, but not too close, proximity). At-home workouts such as Amazon Prime's options, my modest collection of fitness equipment and the fact I love to dance and do pilates!
Last, but not least, I'm grateful not to be quarantined to the degree of full-blown house arrest. While I feel that things are a bit too lax around here and believe that could backfire, I am so grateful not to be cooped up in a small apartment without the option to go anywhere whatsoever. I can't even imagine how people in Italy and elsewhere feel with such limited mobility. The option to drive, grocery shop, walk, jog and run are seriously not something to take for granted and they are honestly things we might lose (at least to some degree).
Ok, it's seriously time to resume some daunting academic stuff.....I started this blog post because I had to wait for my 7/11 generic Excedrin to kick in, but I got carried away as usual....Stay safe out there! And don't be selfish assholes infecting elderly and otherwise vulnerable people just because you are unlikely to face fatality if you get the virus. xoxo
