Could the video vigilante have a point?
He ponders in an article on his website,
“I've always had a hard time understanding how, as a society, we've gone from diaries under lock and key to the Internet version of a diary that we gladly welcome the world to intrude upon. Let alone why an individual involved in criminal activity would publish what could eventually be evidence used against them in a court of law”.
I’d say he might have a point, something I perhaps didn’t elaborate clearly in my blog entry “This blogging phenomenon” which was met with some scorn…at least according to the comments. Private emails between y’all are another thing, lol. As a teenager I tried on and off to keep a journal, but was more worried about someone coming across it…even then I valued my privacy the way I still do today which is why I am not a fan of most of gutter TV where people bare their souls and wash dirty laundry. Years later I entered this business and as most of you know, if there is any time to keep a journal it is while doing this. From the different emotions we experience to every day happenings within the context of the business and civilian life…there’s nothing else like it…it seemed like a good idea until I learned that I could be arrested at any time and the thought of a group of piggy vice officers sniggering at my entries was something I didn’t relish.
Escort blog is a great concept (I wish I’d thought of it haa haa) it’s proving to be one helluva popular site and I think a great medium for escorts to get together but I see it more as an online community/message board minus all the testosterone, which is much welcomed, but other than blatant advertising - I’m guilty to a certain degree, It's just another hang message board minus the testosterone, but with a helluva lot of estrogen.
I like to think of myself as tolerant, but some of the entries I find deplorable (blatant ads) and degrading which is quite ironic when you think this is supposed to be a showcase of sex-workers as not being the stereo typical image of what ignorant idiots like the video vigilante would like others to think. May be I should just losen up and realise not all sex work is “nice and neat”…a client takes you to dinner, you have lovely conversation, you come back to his hotel and then shag…maybe I should be more tolerant of those who make a living off gang bangs – which to me is the ultimate in degradation for a woman.
So do we give others (law enforcements to name a few) more ammunition to use against us?, by what we write, do we trade our privacy? After all much of what I see blogged here, is the stuff other ladies and I talk about in emails, IM, phone and in person.
I’ve said this before, but the Internet has totally destroyed the mystique of being a “lady of pleasure.”

The Natalee Holloway saga.
I don’t know about most of you but other than not watching certain stations, there is no way to avoid this poor girls disappearance and the anguish her family and friends are going through…I feel their pain and hope it’s solved soon. However I cannot help but compare the unprecedented publicity her story has got from various media outlets. I’m in the UK and other than a mention here or there it’s early days as expected there is nothing here. On the other hand I have my TV tuned to Fox news all day most days (sometimes CNN) and it is covered 24/7.
Greta Van Susteren bless her heart has been in Aruba for a month covering the story..a whole month where at one point she was joined by Geraldo, not to mention other meger staff that were being sent all over the island to find people who knew any of the cast of charachters involved. Imagine that. All these reporters covering the disappearance of an 18-year-old girl. Yet so many others disappear and not even a mention. Admittedly the disappearances of prostitutes from truck stops and close by all over the US hasn’t raised the same interest as Natalee’s. But why? Let’s face it, there’s Natalee – a young attractive blonde haired, all American girl next door. Popular, bright and was already accepted as a pre med student at the University of Alabama. Lived in a nice neighbourhood, middle-class family with connections. Set’s off for a week for spring break fun in Exotic Aruba. The night before the departure flight home to Alabama, she disappears after an evening of fun partying with friends and a supposed tryst with a local boy…well not native Aruban but Dutch.
Her mother, arrives with other relatives to find her daughter and is aided by reporters from Fox and their camera men. They search, they badger the Aruban authorities, they beg they plead. Beth her mum does what any mother would do but unlike many others she doesn’t shy away from the media and uses them as much as the media vultures are using her and her families anguish to help their ratings. What seriously pissed me off is the way they have brought the FBI into it and the constant putting down of the Aruban police and their investigative skills. Sure they made some serious blunders earlier on in the investigation, but that doesn’t give them the right to put these people down because they are a very small nation. For Christ sake they are not use to high crime and the depravity we have become sensitised to. Then the piece de résistance, the stupid back water bigots have from Alabama (apologies to some of you native ‘Bamans) have the nerve to ask people to boycott Aruba. What for? Aren’t people killed every day in the USA and don’t some of their murders receive less than adequate investigation from the respective law enforcement departments? Let’s not also forget Alabama upholds the death penalty and has several people who probably shouldn’t be on death row and even worse has executed innocent people or those who were mentally ill. No Alabama, the world doesn’t stop because one of your daughters has gone missing and is probably dead.
I digress. Where is the publicity for the prostitutes from the streets of America that are found headless in garbage bags and the “minority” children who disappear or are murdered? Where is your outrage? Where are your cameras? I don’t see goddamn radio stations raising money and doing for them what they have done for others like Natalee.
Yeah I know the answer to my questions.
I wish Natalees family all the best and peace.

This blogging phenomenon.
What gives with so many escorts wanting to blog all of a sudden? In fact why do people blog? I have to admit I rarely keep up with my blogs, both this and what I like to call my “official blog” for want of a better word lol. Also I rarely ever read other peoples blogs. As an escort I honestly find most escort blogs simply dull and lacking in content. Let’s be honest what do most escorts/sexworkers/providers (take your pick) blog about? Nothing in particular, changing their hair colour, other bitchy escorts, the state of message boards, reviews, moving home and the mother of all complaints…clients…usually the same complaints I and others have had for years.
I guess the next question is who reads escort blogs. Other escorts of course and then you have the insatiable curiosity cats and the whorehags. Who are whore hags? Oh I’m sure you are well aware of them, you know the guys who live on message boards and brown nose escorts at every given moment. Sad men who live vicariously through escorts, who get a kick out of escorts…being around them…They want to know everything about you, not that much different from groupies or fag hags.
I tried to read the Belle de Jour blog and just never quite got it…it bored me. I’ve also seen another blog belonging to an American escort that was so f******g pretentious I almost puked. Actually I couldn’t quite figure out if it was her site or a blog or just a fantasy lol. I did run across a blog about a year ago belonging to a fellow British Escort here in London, that I found quite insightful and funny, especially when I was mentioned …well not by name but let’s just say this particular escort had a married lover, who enjoyed paid companionship now and again…seems like she was the last to find out. The man was not a prize in any way I can tell you. But getting back to the state of blogs. I guess we can safely assume most of us use this blog and others as
A) An advertising medium
B) A way of getting attention (escorts are notorious for that)
C) Loneliness
D) Boredom
I figure the smart ladies keep their good “stuff” a book they may write one day. Let’s face it not everyone has a story…just ask any editor at a publishing house.
Have a great week folks!

PS if anyone can send me the URL of a Plastic Surgeons blog I ran across on a site but have now lost.

I see the Oki man is in da house (my second blog for the day)
Noticed the video vigilante dude has joined this blog, according to an admin notice...haa haaa...even identified himself, how courageous...I'm just a little amused at his reason for joining this site.
For those who may not be so up on what he's doing, here's a little report from The Smoking Gun that includes a police report and mug shot **big grin**.
