I must say, if a diamond does exist, it is indeed Ms. Fawn. The more I learn of you Fawn, the more similarities there are between us.
With regard to achieving diamond status, I think every lady must pay her dues. Several providers have to start somewhere in order to strengthen their reputation in the hobby. I was inducted into the hobby on May 17, 2009. I knew absolutely nothing about the hobby. Review after review, and within each review, men documented the adoraction they had for me, my kind heart, my intelligence, the bottle of Grey Goose I provided for them, the amazing BCD, accomodation, the 4 star hotels I book for incalls and attention to detail. It wasn't hard. I was just being myself and who I truly am outside of the hobby, but under the alias of "Angelina".
A seasoned hobbyist wants to see a girl with a good personality, character, intelligence and a sassy streak. How is this determined? Quality reviews. Several of them. Now, a woman with 200 reviews may not be a diamond by some standards, but let's say a girl with 35-70 solid 100% positive reviews which document her beautiful character, charm, wit, etc., well I'd argue that the girl has to be special in some regard.
Fawn hit the nail on the head when she stated that she acquired 75 reviews on ASPD in a one year period while maintaining a full-time job. She paid her dues and I can tell you that it was not easy for her. I, too, have a full-time job in a politically correct, well-respected profession that utilizes my Post-Graduate degree. I worked hard as many of us have. I entered into the adult entertainment industry to
pay medical bills, not to support a fancy, pretentious lifestyle. Fawn paid her dues and with her natural charm and several glowing reviews behind her, she could command more for a donation, set stricter rules and have more limitations. I'd argue that Fawn is a legend with what she just described. I'd crown her a diamond any day.
I just feel that some attitudes on these boards would never welcome a girl like myself who is very established and even legendary to some, but has hourly rates of $260.00 - $350.00/hour. I admit that I am not a $500.00/hour girl and I have worked hard to try to become that in paying my dues with 47 ASPD reviews accumulated in only 7 months, 5 on TER and more on the other boards. 90% of my clients are repeat clients and are educated professionals who are doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and stock brokers, etc. They are shrewd with their spending and have thanked me for staying affordable. They do book me for 2 hours and tip well, sometimes $200.00 because of the substantial, evocative and intelligent conversations and interactions. The greatest misconception is in that girls who charge what I charge are not of courtesan quality. I wish I could travel to other states, but my full-time career is preventing me from this.
If a highly-reviewed lady in the Austin/San Antonio market/economy could earn a consistent hourly rate at $500.00, believe me I would be charging it. Some girls are earning it, but I am on a mission to learn their trick. And yes, once upon a time, about one year ago, I did earn $2,500.00/hour in Las Vegas and today that gentleman and I stay in touch via e-mail and telephone. He always pays me that, but I have no desire to reside in Las Vegas. I guess, the real tragedy is that with ASPD going down, I was about to increase my hourly rate to $375.00/hour in Austin/San Antonio and keep increasing it until I reached about $500.00/hour. With ASPD shutting its doors, I might have to keep my hourly rate closer to $280.00 - $300.00.
I respect all of you ladies and think each and every one of you is beautiful in your own way. And by the way, women become sexier as they age...
Let me see if I can lighten the mood a little bit....Can I be a dusty diamond,
I am a lot older than you other ladies but I have 75 reviews on aspd in one years time....
And that is not bad for someone that only works (providing) from 6pm-10pm in the evenings...I also have a full time job during the day...
Now to the point in hand a woman should charge what she feels she is worth....And for the guys that don't understand that....That is why there is
such a wide variety of ladies and prices to fit your budget..... Everyone try to have a very Happy New Year...fawn
