Dear Gentlemen,
Yesterday I had a call,and as my ad states, one must have a reference for verification. Please check with your provider to make sure that she is okay with that. I am more than okay with giving a reference for this purpose as I hold myself as a upscale reputable provider, and DISCRETION is very important to me.
With that being said, ANY provider who advertises on the World Wide Web, is putting herself out there and we can all see that she is a provider.
Yesterday, I had a call, he provided me with two names, of well known( maybe not the highly reviewed) providers locally. Once I contacted one in particular, she was very rude. Saying, I never gave permission for anyone to use me as a reference, or to tell anyone what I do. Me, being the kind person that I am, tried to explain that it was merely for verification, reiterating that I too, am a provider.
That I would be more than happy to help her if the tables were turned. She then informed me that she never needs verification, as she has been doing it for years and only sees hobbyist ( although, not her words, not quite that eloquent ) that she has seen for years. Me, knowing that this was NOT TRUE. Simply gave up on the cause. Should you care to know who it is you can PM me. But, my whole point is as follows. This hobby could completely devastate for both hobbyist and provider. It is a chance we all take. However, I stand on being safe. I do not hold information, numbers etc. although, being low volume, I CAN remember who I saw, when, where. If you have been in my company, you may use me as a reference.
NOTE: please know that if I should be asked about cleanliness etc... Just as we are reviewed, I WILL be honest. Be safe and have fun!
Discreetly yours.
Kate
