Oh you're right, I've had two reviews in the last few months actually, but I've been rubbish at updating.
Here's the one on adultwork: http://www.adultwork.com/FR?49533
And here's one on plink: http://www.punterlink.com/modules.php?name=EscortReviews&op=details&rvid=3943 (thanks goldboy, you seemed like a real person too :P)
They both asked if I'd mind them writing a review, and I already thanked vinny for his. I can't see anything to object to really, they're hardly full of sordid details, and it's nice for potential clients to have something other than my own nonsense to read.
There are reviews in which aren't as nice. A friend of mine has one from her parlour days which is hilarious, but clearly more to do with the writer's fantasy than anything that happened in the 20 minutes they spent together, and it does make a girl feel a bit icky. All the ones I've had have been more or less tasteful though, click the "reviews" link if you want to investigate! -
Questions. I'd already been sarcastic about your last four.

I got it from a couple of baby name sites. First I went through all the names beginning with 'A' and picked the ones I liked. Anika was the least obscure of them. Then I needed to add something for an email address and didn't want something generic like "escort", so I chose a middle name. I thought a single syllable would scan well and I picked Mae as in West.
Neither of these were part of my decision, but Anneke was also the singer in my favourite band at the time, The Gathering, and Anika was a friend of Pippi Longstocking. Pippi's popular all over Europe, but British people mostly just have a vague association with pigtails. If that's you, sort it out, especially if you have kids. And you'd better not tell me that your kid won't be interested because he's a boy; that would only happen if you've convinced him that girls aren't cool. Pippi Longstocking is awesome. -
Oh really, is that what you meant? And me just going off on a tangent like that! You poor thing. Maybe a nice mince pie and eggnog would cheer you up?

When I was eight, my best friend's dad lived across the street from a cat sanctuary. Whenever we were over there we used to visit it, because they kept all their older kittens one room. Yes, there was a kitten room. That was probably the best room I've ever been in. Since we were tiny and cute ourselves we didn't even need to bring cat food, we just went in there and played with some kittens while even more kittens climbed on us and untied our shoelaces. I think kitten rooms should be a therapy tool; it would make almost anyone feel better.

If I could only do one for the rest of my life, it would have to be swallow. Spitting is good for making a phlegmy cold less unpleasant, but swallowing is really important for eating, drinking, and not choking on your own saliva.

Sorry, I'm not into Stephen King.

I'm anal about weird things like not leaving odd grains of rice in a pan or plate, but I'm pretty laid-back when it comes to sex.
-
Well yeah, but it's not a very good one I'm afraid. When I started to set up my business, the first thing I came up with was a name, so I could open an email account. After that I had to make a website which meant choosing a domain name, and of course I could have just gone with my name but I didn't want to. Why? I don't know. Also, it was about 4am. I was in the chatroom of a community that I'd been part of for years (I was an early web-nerd by UK standards) so I asked them for suggestions. One was girlssittingoncakes.com, which led me to the in-joke referencing allgirltogaparty. I could do with something more straightforward, but it's still kind of funny.
Good thing I didn't go for the cakes, because it seems that's an actual fetish and lots of icing in the nether regions isn't healthy for girls. -
Mostly they either take it without a fuss or they're interested and ask questions (often while apologising for being nosy or asking if I mind). Less often I get people who refuse to believe me, which is annoying. I don't care if they think I'm messing with them, but they become terrible bores so I have to keep telling them that I'm not changing my answer and try to get them to go away or talk about something else. Then there's the odd negative reaction (mostly the concerned type rather than overtly judgemental), but those generally come when I'm under the weather so I think I'm usually too sure of myself to get people worrying about me.
No-one's asked me how much I earn in a while, thankfully. What's that about? I thought English people were supposed to find that sort of conversation vulgar. I certainly wouldn't consider asking unless it was specifically relevant to the topic at hand. -
Well since you're asking about actual clients and not random timewasters (you wouldn't do much better with that since I forget them quickly) I don't want to say anything too specific since they probably don't want me going on about their fetishes.
Not the strangest but fairly strange was... well first I have to explain ball busting. It means punching and kicking some guy's bollocks. Most of you will probably think that's a pretty bloody odd thing to ask for, but since it's just a subset of cock & ball torture (though a bit more dangerous), and I was introduced to that by my second boyfriend when I was 17, I don't consider it to be outlandish. Everyone who's asked for it has been a timewaster though, except for one client that I knew already who'd decided that he wanted to try it. He was quite specific though; he wanted gentle ball busting. No more contradictory than many aspects of sexuality really, but the concept makes me laugh. -
Um, you mean like pushing boundaries? That would be a pretty dangerous and unprofessional thing to do while working, wouldn't it.
-
No, I haven't for a while. I did have a casual long-distance thing that started just before I went into stripping and lasted for several years (it was so casual that it was hard to work out when it ended, though I remember when it began very well *smile*). In many ways that was my ideal relationship. We talked fairly often and had a great time when we got together, but the distance provided some restraint and we were both chilled out enough about the whole thing to go with that. When I've had easily-accessible boyfriends I've generally been sucked too far into the relationship and found myself not really enjoying it but not used to keeping myself company.
I don't expect to meet someone again who's as relaxed about sex and relationships as my ex and who I fancy, so I expect to stay single indefinitely. I also live with my best friend now which sort of makes her my platonic wife, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on the emotional aspects of having a boyfriend/girlfriend, and of course I've got the sex bit taken care of! -
Yes, one of them asked me several years ago but I wasn't tempted. They were offering to pay my standard booking fee and the idea was that the video would benefit me by generating extra work. Fair enough, and I know that escorts get paid a lot more per hour than most porn stars, but it could have turned out to be something I was uncomfortable having around and I didn't think it would be particularly effective as advertising, so saying no to providing that sort of content for no extra pay was a no-brainer.
Ok, that's the whole backlog now. Who's next? -
I would feel less comfortable if the industry was illegal (and it would seem crazy if it was illegal for what I believe would be the first time in British history, while public attitudes are fairly sympathetic), but being illegal doesn't necessary mean that anyone wants to do anything about it.
If it's an enforcement priority than semantic workarounds make little difference, if it's not than no-one really pays attention to indoor workers. In the second scenario I suppose it wouldn't make that much difference as many clients already think buying and selling sex is illegal. -
2/3 do, and I've mentioned work (the appropriate bits) at Christmas.
It took a bit of time to tell my sister. I assumed she basically knew since she'd seen the lead up when I was blogging from Copenhagen, but she seemed uncomfortable with it then so I took her avoidance of any talk about jobs to mean that she didn't want to know for sure. Eventually it came up and I told her what I was up to. Apparently reading Belle Du Jour's blog had prepared her for it and she wasn't bothered, but she was worried I'd taken up drug dealing! I have no idea why in circumstances she'd assume that that was what my second phone was for.
Writing that has just made me wonder if that wasn't really what she was thinking and she did just need some time to work through what I was doing before acknowledging it. -
I think I'd make a pretty poor ploughman, not sure I could manage a sexy furrow.
To be honest it's been a long time since I've kept up with other escorts, so the ones I know either post on SAAFE a lot or are still around from when I used to socialise within the industry. If someone's looking for someone in London though the first thing I think of is "check out Dollymopp", because she's fabulous, and even if they decide she's the wrong age bracket for them or something I'm sure they all appreciate her website. -
Oh yes, but I expect most of them to stay that way. Some are just over-the-top and probably wouldn't turn me on in porn, never mind real life. A few things I've already dabbled in and they're much less fun in reality. Some things might be fun but it would be difficult to make them enjoyable and safe in real life, so I probably won't. If anyone wants to book me as a hostess for a special party that might be fun, though.
-
This isn't likely to happen. Appearance isn't an issue for me (honestly; I do find some people prettier than others, but that's no indication of how much I'd enjoy having sex with them). Someone's manner could put me off, but generally any oddness is just nerves or awkwardness which isn't a problem. Very occasionally we get down to business and it just doesn't work. I'm not very good with that since I don't detach myself when I work, but I do my best and hope they won't want to book again.
-
Whichever would make the best client! I rarely get celebrity crushes and there aren't any politicians who've caught my eye.
