Part 2, Success

The next day I called R and told her I wanted to be independent. She was polite and said if I ever needed help or advice, I had her number. I was so relieved that she wasnt upset. In this business, you can be ruined in a heartbeat. I decided early on, as I do in my everyday life, that I’d make as many friends as possible and no enemies. (so far, so good)

The next day, I set off in making a name for myself. I was responsible for my own sales and marketing. You are not only as good as you look on paper, but you also had to prove yourself. You can’t say you are the best, market yourself as the best, and not be the best. Good way to go down in flames.I decided that truth in advertizing was the best approach (thoughts based on a Dudley Moore movie I saw years ago called "Crazy People"). Aside from having my professional name, and being discreet about some personal details of myself to protect my family, I would just be myself. My real appearance, my real personality. I felt that people liked me in my real life so I felt that is what I wanted to do. That turned out to be a great decision because a majority of the men say they love that genuiness about me and that I am not full of myself like alot of the women try to present themselves to be.

There are websites that are soley for finding escorts in the state where you live…I went to my state and that is another place I advertise with a link to my website. These men read my site, fill out my contact page with information I request before going any further, they email me and if I decide they are someone I’d like to see, from there I verify information such as name, employment, references of ladies they’ve seen, etc. After that, we go on to discuss scheduling.

It really was easy as pie to get into the biz. For me, its always been about fun. I do not support a family, I do not support a drug use. I do this soley for fun…with out any emotional entanglements that I have complicated my life with before this. I get all the attention I want, all the intimacy I desire with no other problems. I can be someone else for an hour or more (or as someone said to me once,) be myself for an hour….or more…and not get hurt. What a concept.

Money? I make anything from $800-$2,000 a week, depending on my availability. If I am not available when they want to see me, they are generally patient to wait a week or so to see me. I have some clients that travel nationwide to see me. Some book appointments way ahead of time if they are coming into town for business. I have a nice client base of regulars. The men I meet are all professionals. Those are fun and easy because even tho it is a discreet lifestyle, you do get to know each other well. Trust is strong, and I am fond of these gentlemen because they treat me SO well….better than my own husband treats me. No, he doesnt know. Some how, some way, I have been able to keep this under wraps for 7 months now. Do I want to do this forever? No, not really, but dont plan on quitting any time soon. The only way I can continue to conceal this is leave no trail, no evidence of where I’ve gone and what I do. I don’t get lax and I dont get calls after 5pm or on weekends, strictly  9-5pm, everything is passworded and nothing is written down.

When I asked my best friend if she thought I could do this, she said, "If you can keep it compartmentalized."

I have made professional aquaintances (ladies in the biz) and they are very nice as well as helpful. I’ve stepped on no one’s toes, kept my mouth shut and listened more than I’ve spoken.

My but this is so well communicated here. It helps real and very curious people to gain the understandings about the choices of others, in a matter-of-fact and sincere way. I’m glad that things seem to be going so well for you!

That’s good money. Maybe I’ll go be an escort!

Wow, how do you hide it so well? How do you justify the $2,000 you bring home in one week?

December 18, 2005

Great writing. You explain it so well. This truly seems to be something that is right for you, & who are we to judge. Not that I could judge you, I adore you too much! 🙂

Wow, I just started reading your diary, and learned a lot in a few entries. What does your husband think you do all day? And what in the world do you do with the money? I’m having visions of you making up stories about playdates (no pun intended) and stuffing the bankroll under your mattress.

I was driving from Atlanta to move to Bethesda, MD. I was on a schedule and got obsessed with staying on it while I drove north. I was most certainly flattered that you cared that we missed touching base as I drove though and I’m sorry that missed each other. Time and tides, though. You’re gorgeous. Love,

Damn, I thought that note would be private. I’m having some challenges lately with that. You’re welcome to delete it. Love you,

I am curious about the cash and how your husband has no idea. Have you been unable to spend any of it, or does he think you have some very lucrative other part time job?

This is really interesting that you can be so open about this. I like hearing what it is like. I don’t think I could do it, but reading how you have gone about it and that you are enjoying it really shows me that there are two sides to every picture. RYN- Thanks for your kind words, I really appreciate it. The memory is wonderful, very descriptive. 🙂

I want to know what ‘Crazy People’-style marketing line you’d come up with for yourself?! I would try and think of one but you’d hit me next time we meet if I tried 😉

Your life is a Lifetime movie. Thanks for letting us take a peek.

RYN: I know the film very well, I watched again it a couple of weeks ago. I do hope ‘Boxy but good’ isn’t your marketing line!

It’s such an amazing story. I must admit I worry for you..about the hubby, etc. I love reading about how things are going for you though. You know I adore you 🙂 I finally got a moment in all this madness (Xmas and baby prep) to read out both entries. *HUGS* Just don’t let it all make you cold honey. I wish your hubby gave you more emotionally.. Happy holidays!
