Unimpressed with La Perla & Agent Provocateur

I hate lingerie snobs!  Especially ones that don't know the difference between buying in to a brand and real quality when they see it.

Before I started escorting I was blissfully unaware of these brands and where I am not really an Ann Summers fan, I had some very nice items of lingerie, but they were not these brands stated.  Since becoming an Escort I have come across some real brand snobbery and I'm about to tell you what I really think of these products.

La Perla -

I came across my first La Perla shop only yesterday while shopping at the outlet shop in Bicester.  I am looking for a new suspender belt, as my favourite is starting to look a little dog eared and the other ones I have are too big, since I have lost weight since buying them.  They had one plain black one (which is what I wanted) and it was tiny.  They do 3 sizes and I'm pretty sure their largest one is equivalent to a size 12.  I do wonder if this is to ensure that it will look nice on the wearer due to them being slim, rather than having to worry about looking good with curves.  This was being sold at £90 (remembering this is an outlet shop) and its only saving grace is that it did have metal suspenders, otherwise it looked no different to a Leg Avenue bet at £12.99.

They were selling bra's with no double sizes! Don't they know that most escorts are a DD?  I'm afraid I do conform to this, so was a little depressed that I couldn't take advantage of their sale.  They showed me a 38C which was flesh coloured and basic and I'm afraid I put my nose up in the air and flounced out of the shop.

Agent Provocateur -

The outlet also has an Agent Provocateur shop.  They do have larger sizes and I happily bought a bra and knicker set from them the last time I was there.  However, today while looking for the suspenders I was shocked when they brought out a bag of XL suspenders (I am between a 14/16 UK sizes).  They had one pair of black suspenders that quite frankly looked miniscule.  The lady was busy working between me and a few other customers, so I took the opportunity to look through the other suspender belts.  I picked out 3 and put them against each other.  There was approx an inch and a half more width between the ones offered me and another pair and an inch between mine and another pair.  Basically they were all different. It got me wondering where they were getting their stock from, as there can't be an Agent Provocateur sweat shop some where, where they have standards and conform to size control.  If I had picked up the one belt, I'd have left thinking I had lost weight, where another made me feel fat!  Why can't they get it right?

I'm also quite shocked as to why anyone would buy their corsets when they have plastic bones.  I mean surely if you are going to invest £150+ on a corset, you want it to be made by a real corsetier and have metal bones?  All my corsets are made by Heresy and are amazing.  I look at the quality next to the ones in this shop and there is no comparison and yet if I bought one from here, you gents would seemingly be impressed?  It would give me kudos?  How pathetic is that?

Lastly, durability.  I put my wonder bra in the wash with the rest of the washing and it comes out good to go.  I put my Agent Provcateur bra and knickers in a delicate wash and it comes out faded and looking old and rubbish.  Ok, so it says hand wash only on the directions for washing, but does hand washing really clean as well as you need for something that is so close to your intimate parts?  Especially when I keep getting made wet in them lol.  Again, this brand is not living up to expectation for me.

I have obviously considered conforming to the ideology, or I wouldn't have even entered these shops, but I'm afraid I remain unimpressed and will not consider buying them again.  They are made with cheap materials and designed for ladies with model figures that would make a plastic bag look good on them.  It is not about the quality or design, but about the brand.

If you want to see real quality, let me show you one of my corsets, or even my La Senza underwear.  It might not have the same hype, but the quality and workmanship is a damn site better!

Making contact with an Escort

I'm just in to my second year of Escorting now and I finally feel qualified to have an opinion on how things work, how I should be treated and what makes a good client.  With this in mind I have decided to write down a few things that will hopefully help both of us at the first stages of meeting.  For some of you it will just be confirmation that you are doing everything the right way and with others it might just make you realise why you possibly are not getting very far with your bookings. Some escorts (including myself) won't reply to messages if they feel they are rude, disrespectful or too mechanical.  We are after all human and the emotional variety at that.  We don't stop being emotional just because of the job we are doing.

Making contact:

For me there are two preferences for making contact.  That would be either by email (either using the message service on the profile or direct to my email box if you have access to it).  Using email you can easily show a little of your personality, tell me what you are looking for, what you would like or even tell me why you are interested in meeting me.  You might just want to see what I look like, which is great, as then when you have seen my picture, I will at least know that you are not going to be disappointed when you meet me and still very much keen.  Once this has been established then the next step is to talk on the phone or book on Adultwork if you use this method.

Phoning is the best method for making everything clear.  Unfortunately and I know I'm not alone with this, but as a part-time escort who lives with family, I am not always able to answer the phone.  I also have another job (again I am not alone in this) which prohibits how often I can answer the phone.  However, when I am able to it makes booking so much easier and straight forward.  Don't be put off by unanswered calls.  It is likely the Escort is just not able to answer at that time.  However, don't also persist in calling several times in the same hour.  If she is working with another client and worth her salt, she will not answer the call until after the booking.  If she is with family or driving she can not answer it.  Always give a few hours before trying again, or text to say you tried to make contact and will call again, or give the lady permission to return the call.  I personally will never reply to a call unless I have literally just missed it and assume they are free to answer the call.  Discretion is very important on both sides.

What kind of things would you say?

It's a good idea to establish a few things.  Where would you like the meeting to take place?  Do you have any specific requests?  How long for and confirm the rate, so that you both know what is expected.  If you have any unusual problems it might also be worth mentioning.  I personally don't offer bookings to gents with some disabilities due to the fact that I have no experience and work upstairs, where other ladies may have a background and accomodation that does allow for this.  Some ladies feel more comfortable with their own race, while others purely require a client to be clean and respectful.  It's all about getting the chemistry right really and that is what makes a booking spectacular and not just routine.

Texting!  Texting is ok if with an Escort that you have met before.  Once you have met there tends to be a more relaxed approach, a mutual respect and trust.  With this there is less likely to be a misunderstanding and less need to make sure of the content and expectation and if there is confusion, then you are more likely to ring up and clarify things.  If contacting for the first time via text, it tells you very little about the other persons personality and can easily lead to confusion.  I recently had a text with 'do you do a' written down.  Now at the time and being in the middle of doing something else, I didn't see it as a complete question, but wondered why they had stopped mid sentence.  They then sent another message saying that it was all fine, so I assumed we had the booking set up, as we had already discussed time, date and location.  However my not answering the question told him that I was not happy and he assumed I did not want to do the booking.  I was rather disappointed when the time came and he did not call to confirm the booking, whereas he was surprised when I had expected it to go ahead.

This muddle (although I do take some responsibility) should not really have happened.  My profile tells you of all my do's, don't's and at discretions.  Please, please always read the full profile before contacting when you can and if you don't have time then do ring, as it is much quicker and more efficient in conveying information.  Texting is time consuming and can not be done while driving, or if working etc, so assuming that the lady is able to respond to several texts really isn't fair.  She does have a life outside of escorting.  Please try your best to be prepared before booking, so that the booking time can be done efficiently and it also shows the lady that you have picked her with some thought and not just picked her out with your finger and eyes closed.  This job is so much easier when the gent actually fancies the lady and wants to be with her.  If you are not turned on, it is because you haven't spent time choosing your lady.

Confirmation:

Once the meeting has been made and you have either booked it on AW or written it into your diary, it is really important that you confirm the booking on the day of the meet at least a couple of hours before the meeting.  Even if you know the details or if they are coming to you.  This confirmation is vital to us Escorts to tell us that you are still coming or that we are about to travel out to a booking that is going to happen.  If you don't confirm, don't be surprised if your booking time has been taken up by someone else, or that they don't turn up to your place.  Even if you are a regular you must confirm.

If you need to cancel or something happens at the last minute:

This is a huge bone of contention.  Surely it is better to let the lady know that you can no longer make the booking than to say nothing and go on her timewaster list?  We know that things happen, we know you might be a little scared or feel at the last minute you can't go through with it due to your family, financial reasons etc and we understand this.  What we don't understand is why you can't just let us know.  Next time this happens, even if it is just a text, please do let us know.  All it has to be is, "Sorry, but I can't make it".  We may be disappointed, but we will respect you for having told us and you will then be open to returning at some other point, should you want to.

Preparing for your meeting:

Remembering you are going to be intimate with someone, it is nice if you can dress nicely (if not coming straight from work) be clean and smell nice.  Not too much aftershave if you wear it, but enough to smell nice if up close and personal.  If you are not able to do this, then you really must be prepared to have a quick shower before starting the meeting.  It might eat into your time, but literally takes seconds and make sure you use the soap and don't just dunk under the water, taking particular care and attention to under arms and genitals.  Even if you did shower that morning and it is now lunch time, it would do no harm to have a quick clean to these areas. You will find the lady is clean for you and it is only fair to be the same.

Once this is done and if not already happened, then it is important to not hold on to the money.  Let's face it, once you start kissing, the last thing you want to do is stop and start doing business.  Get it out the way and then you can both relax.  You might think it a bit rude being asked, but there are so many chancers out there, we just can't afford not to.  I have a friend who after the first 15 minutes offered her a cheque that then bounced.  No lady takes cheque, don't even go there.  Some may take credit card, but that would have to be done several days before the meeting, to ensure the money is recieved, but otherwise cash is the best method and cash up front!  So... offer before being asked is always best.

Requests:

Don't be shy to ask for requests.  No two men are the same.  One might like a lady dressed in corset and fishnets, while another might prefer a simple dress and little make up.  We want to make your time special and any indicator of how to do this is welcome.  If you don't want full penetrative sex then you don't have to have it, not all men do, some enjoy the company, a little foreplay and that is it.  I was surprised when I first started escorting at how many men didn't want 'full sex'.  I had imagined there would be a lot of 'wham bham, thank you mam' but how very wrong I was!  Most men are very caring, tender, interesting and funny.  We spend our time chatting as well as having some fun and oral is very popular.  If that is all you want, then don't feel bad about it, it's fine by us, if you just want to meet for lunch or to go to an event and have company, then that is good too.  It's not all about the sex, it's about you leaving feeling happy and having a big smile on your face.  This is one of the best things about my job.  I love making people happy and it is a very rewarding job.

Don't be too specific with your requests.  Asking for 4" heels in red with a bow on them is not going to be possible unless you have seen them in a picture of the escort and even then, she may not have them any more, so it might not be possible.  If the lady is going to be on tour when she gets to you, she may only have a few outfits with her, so be sure to ask well in advance, so she can pack the right things.

Shy:

If you are shy, then do not worry about meeting an Escort. The type of person that makes a good escort is naturally fairly confident and comfortable in her own skin.  She likely finds it easy to talk to people and will be there to make you happy, so she will take the lead until you feel ready to take it back.  It often makes me laugh how a gent will tell me he is shy and then 10 mins after meeting me he is acting like someone I have known all my life and gving me my second orgasm lol.  It is almost impossible to remain shy with someone when you are being intimate.  A hug and a kiss and all those feelings of trepidation just melt away leaving the passion and lust to take over.

I think that is enough for the moment.  I may edit this as I re-read it and remember other things, but I hope it does help to give some insight and of course, I can not talk on behalf of all Escorts, but it may well work for others too.

26th November 2010

It's been a while since I last wrote a blog, so I thought it was time I put pen to paper, or in this case fingers to keyboard.

Last week was spent in London as I was visiting Erotica for the full 3 days.  I had a great time, but as I was helping a friend out and working, it was also a long and tiring weekend.  I was totally exhausted by the Sunday and slept very well.

Returning home on the Monday was pleasant enough.  The drive was not a bad one and no accidents on the road.  I got home with renewed energy and spent a really pleasant afternoon with my son.

Tuesday was spent cleaning my house from top to bottom.  Having a teenager in the house is not best for keeping a clean and tidy house, but as I do some times entertain it is important to me that at the least my home looks cosy and not unloved.  I have to say after a day of being given tlc it does look cared for and I was rather happy to be lay in my bed in the warm watching telly that evening.  You really can't beat 'home, sweet home!'

Wednesday was the best day so far.  I had a busy day with one thing and another, but the evening was planned to go to the cinema with a good friend, followed by a Chinese buffet.  Alas when we got to the cinema they had sold out of tickets (Harry Potter is very popular), but they had some spaces left for the 8pm slot still.  We decided to take those seats and went for a drink first.  We had a lovely time catching up with each other and discussing how life was treating us (my friend is the only person I have told of my escorting) and I have to admit, he does love hearing of my escapades, although I think Erotica was the main topic of conversation on this occassion.  We then walked over to the Chinese Restaurant and ate far too much.  It really was delicious!  I adore crispy peking duck with pancakes and they had it in abundance.  I admit the duck is never so nice when prepared and shredded in advance, but I love the whole act of creating the pancake before eating.  It's a very satisfying process.

Having been fed and watered, we waddled back to the cinema, found our seats and sat down to a couple of hours of great entertainment.  I love anything mystical, magic or a little dark and Harry Potter encompasses all of these things.  I can't wait for the last film to come out and wish it had been just one long film.  I hate waiting! lol.

I got home and went straight to bed with a mug of hot chocolate (the aero variety).  A very satisfying end to a very fun day.

Thursday morning I had a bit of a lie in, until I realised time had rushed by and I had to get up and start packing for my trip to Oxford.  I always seem to pack too much, but I hate the idea of not having the right thing to wear for an expectant client.  One client had requested white knickers so I packed those first, an underbust corset, sexy lace off the shoulder dress, figure hugging black and red dress and my most favourite emerald green bra and knicker set. 

I had booked a very nice hotel and was going in early, so I decided that my image needed to be of business woman.  I have a dress that is black on the top, sexy with a bit of cleavage, but still a little conservative and the skirt part of the dress being cream with zeba animal print markings.  I teamed this up with some woolly tights and black boots and a black rain coat.  Wearing this along with my laptop bag over my shoulder, I felt confident that nothing would be suspected and have had no probems at all while here and will definitely use the hotel again (If I can find it). My sat nav was having a real headache finding it, as for some reason it kept rejecting the postcode.  I'm glad to say that none of my clients had the same problem.

So... having met up with one regular and 2 new clients I will be departing here with a smile on my face.  I have had a great time and am particularly fond of the regular who came a long.  I'll be back again on the 20th December and hopefully will be helping my clients get into the Christmas spirit a litte early.

Job satisfaction

Today has been a lovely day.

I am particularly pleased with a booking I had today and I'm going to tell you why.  Today I met a gentleman who had never seen an escort before.  He was a little nervous and I tried my best to put him at ease.  I asked him if he would like a drink and he requested a cup of tea.  He didn't need to use the bathroom, so I brought him through to the kitchen with me while I made the drink.  I think I may have made it a bit too milky, but it's hard to tell, as I only drink green tea these days.  Anyway we chatted a bit and he seemed a really nice fella.

Tea made we went upstairs.  He asked me how much I wanted and I told him.  He looked a bit shaky as he past it over and seemed a little like he was making a sacrfice.  After that little episode was over he was unsure as to what we should do next, so I told him we have a cuddle, of course!  In which I went over to him and gave him a very big warm cuddle and a kiss.  He was a little taller than me, which was perfect as I had my knee high boots on with 2" heels, we seemed to fit perfectly together.

A little later on he blurted out, "Wow, this is like a real girl friend experience!" Which made me chuckle.  That was after all my aim!  As you can imagine he was very relaxed at this point and we had a lot of fun together, especially when he announced that he would have to come again and it had been worth every penny.  Now if that doesn't put a smile on my face, nothing will! 

I so love my job.  I never new job satisfaction could feel so good and as I said to my guest.  I don't think I have ever been so happy.  I seem to have a constant smile on my face and things that used to annoy or worry me, no longer do.  It really is a win win situation.

Sunday 7 November 2010

This is what Sunday mornings are for.

Is it wrong that someone with a life like mine might enjoy watching redtube on a Sunday morning and seeing the morning through while watching something like this Xrated

I'm afraid I hit the jackpot with this one and had cleared out the cobwebs with less than a quarter the way through.  Still it does mean I have the rest to watch the next time I need a little light relief.

I think I might even feel bright enough to go put the shopping away from late last night now :)

Happy Days!

Weighing things up!

I don't know why, but I seem to do things back to front.  In the Summer when everyone else is watching their weight I'm happily eating what ever I like and throwing caution to the wind and when everyone else is eating their winter warmer casseroles and roast dinners in the Autumn and Winter, I'm getting my recipe books out looking for ways to lose weight.


Yesterday when I was in the supermarket with my very long list of required elements to weight loss I spent £105!  On hearing the total I piped up, "Why is it so expensive to lose weight?"  The lady looked at me quizzically on the counter and said, "Isn't it an odd time to be starting a diet?".  The response was rather easy, as I realised why the diet suits me better at this time.  Have you noticed how early it gets dark these days?  By 4.30pm it is dusk and by 5pm it is well and truely dark.  I don't know about you, but with the clocks changing back recently too, I'm finding myself yawning myself silly by 10pm and ready to get tucked up in bed.  This means I'm having a much shorter day in comparison to the Summer months, where I'll happily stay up until 1am in the morning, which often results in an extra little cheese and biccy snack.  Whereas now my evening meal easily sees me through until the following day.
Not the diet for me!

So... today after pouring over several 'Slimming World' cookery books yesterday and planning out my whole weeks eating events I am starting my latest diet.  I am quite looking forward to it.  Normally I am quite scatty and ill prepared when it comes to cooking and never know from one day to the next what might be put on the table, so to know in advance is quite exciting and my taste buds are looking forward to the delights coming their way.  What I especially love about Slimming World is that there is no or very little limit to what you can eat, so you don't have to feel hungry, the success is all in the planning.  You need to know what you can eat during those moments of inbetween meals hunger, so you don't spoil the good work you are doing and make sure you have these things at hand.

I have been kind of mindful of what I should be eating before today's official start.  For instance yesterday I decided was going to be an 'original' day, as I was going to the Harvester with a lovely friend in the evening.  With this in mind I had 3 rashers of lean bacon, 2 sausages, some tinned tomotoes reduced in a pan with salt and pepper, mushrooms lightly sauted in a tspn of olive oil and a poached egg.  Hard to believe, but this is all acceptable food on the Slimming World diet.  Another thing I learned the last time, is that protein based foods make you feel full much longer.  It's always a good idea to start the day with an egg or something protein if you can, as it really will see you through to lunch time.  This was a fine start of the day for me and easily saw me through to my 8pm meal.  A brunch fit for a king!

At the Harvester and faced with temptation!  I actually started really well.  I had one of their bottomless glasses of diet coke, so no calories there and ordered the spit roast and asked for the skin to be taken off and a small baked potato instead of chips.  I then filled up my free salad and allowed myself some low cal mayo and devils sauce, mmmm... It was really yummy!  If I had of stopped there I would have had a proper original day with no syns, but... my friend wanted pudding and I broke at the last hurdle.  I had a very delicious dessert called a 'Rocky Horror' and it consisted of chocolate brownie, hot chocolate sauce and cornish icecream.  It did have squirty cream and wafers on top too, but I ditched those in a bowl.  No point wasting calories on food that you're not that bothered by.  It was truely yummy and a last naughty before putting my head down.


I'm glad to say a friend of mine has also taken up the challenge.  On Monday morning I am to weigh myself and a week later record my weight loss and he will be doing the same.  The winner is the one to have lost the most weight.  No point lying as I would only be fooling myself and I'm absolutely up for the challenge.  I'm currently a size 14/16 dress size and have recently bought a few items of clothing that are shall we say 'on the snug side'.   My hope is to be able to fit in them all comfortably by the end of this month.  I'll then revise for a new goal and see where it takes me, but don't worry, I have no intention of getting rid of my curves.  They are here to stay!

November 5th

I don't really know where this week went to.  I've been busily working away trying to get prepared for a big exhibition I'm working at in a couple of weeks in London.  I hand make my product and the whole house seems be getting taken up with bits of glitz and flowers etc.  It's rather exciting, but I'll be glad to have my lounge back.

In the mean time a rather lovely gentleman called me this morning and asked if he could bring forward our possible lunch time meeting to 10.30am.  Apparently he had been reading my blog and assertained that I rather like morning fun.  Of course he was quite right lol, I can't deny it.  He was rather apologetic of his age, yet was really a rather young 47.  Believe me I enjoy my 40 somethings as much as my 30 somethings and just have a bit of a fetish for the 20 somethings, but would get rather bored quickly if they were the only gents I met.

We started our time by enjoying a bath together.  I have rather a large bath and as a bit of a blonde by nature I do have a tendency to forget it is running.  This rarely results in an overflow, as much as the temperature being either too hot or too cold.  In this case it was 3/4's full and a tad too cold.  I had to take quite a fair bit of water to make room for hot, but in doing so managed to over fill it somewhat.  Thankfully my friend was very cautious and lifted himself proud of the bottom of the tub, giving the water a chance to drain and not poor over the side.  That might have been a little troublesome lol.

At last with the water at a safer measure we are able to get to know each other a little.  Lots of kissing, followed by some gentle caressing and then I have to say the most delightful rubbing of a delicate area.  For a gent who professed to have been a virgin to the world of escorts and indeed slightly out of practice, he had a natural ability to pick up on my body language and had me cumming over his fingers very swiftly.

Having got to know each other a little better we decided to go through to the bedroom.  Having briefly had the pleasure of his tongue before getting into the bath, I was keen to continue where we had left off.  Have I mentioned that I love my job? lol I so love my job! I revel in the delights of a gentleman who is keen to please me and today was one of those days.  What a lovely start to the day!

Normally I would only take one booking as an incall per day, but a little later on I received another call asking to meet 'as soon as'.  I found myself agreeing to 2pm.  This gave me enough time for a much needed shower and quick change of clothes.  I managed to get ready with 5 minutes to spare (I'm getting much better at time keeping lol).  Although I did forget to take my phone downstairs with me and by the time I got back upstairs there were 3 messages and a missed call, oops!  I quickly replied and my next booking arrived at the front door.

I have to admit it was a bit wet outside.  Having dispensed of the damp clothes we got to know each other better.  During conversation it transpired that he had brought a strap on with him.  It just so happened that I had invested in a strap on, but had not actually ever used it yet.  He rather liked the idea of me being a strap on virgin and I was rather pleased to have someone who new what they were doing guide me.  The first thing we established was that the dildo I have is a little on the large side and probably not wise to use on a newbie.  I really must get hold of a smaller one!  However, having put a condom on the dildo and attached it to the straps I was ready to see how I did.

Omg! I really don't quite know what I did, or if I could do it again.  I felt like I did very little indeed.  I basically started by teasing the rear until he eventually told me to move in slightly.  It seemed to slip in quite easily, but then he told me off and said I was being greedy lol.  I hadn't realised and of course felt incredibly guilty, as I know how it feels the other way round if too much too quick.  Thankfully he was not put off though and told me to just stay still.  Then a slight extra push and still again.  Another little push and still again.  After this one he started to move his body rocking back and forth onto my cock (hehe that sounds weird).  He asked me to caress his balls, so I leant forward hugging his back and put my hand under his balls while he massaged his cock and rocked gently back and forth.  It did feel very sexy.  Needless to say, not long after this he came and I felt very proud of myself!!!!  A work in progress I feel, but progress is the word!

And that really is it for today.  I had a quick pop in to town to sort a few things out and bought a pizza for my off spring to share with his friends and now I'm happily sat watching the box with a cuppa and writing my blog.  Far too wet outside for me I'm afraid! 

Anyone out there playing with fireworks and bonfires, have fun and play safe!
