[caption id="attachment_1917" align="alignleft" width="300"] Not the sharpest tool[/caption]If you work for the President Of The United States and you bang hookers, it's probably not a good idea to create a secret Twitter account and taunt your bosses at the White House. It's an even worse idea to also have a second secret Twitter account where you prolifically talk about how you pay for sex. That is however what one person did. Then he got caught. Then he made national media. Like a dumbass. He created @NatSecWonk  (get it national security wonk..*eyeroll*) and he used that Twitter account to denigrate his bosses and anyone else in the political realm he felt like. I guess people in  national security circles and some journalist followed him. I guess he thought he was being…

Aphrodite Companions Busted

[caption id="attachment_1899" align="alignleft" width="242"] Busted[/caption]Aphrodite Companions was busted the other day. The husband and wife team who ran that NY/FLA escort agency are being held without bail on prostitution and money laundering charges. Agencies get busted all the time, which is why I write all the time about why you shouldn't work for one as an escort and why its dangerous to use one as a client. Agencies have a habit of being busted because since they are illegal business they tend to bend the legal business rules  yanno like  paying their taxes and trying to hide their income. They look good to prosecutors who if they were going to bust an independent girl would only get a misdemeanor prostitution charge, those prosecutors who in a situation with an agency…

P411 Infiltrated

prostitution, sex work
Screening services are designed to keep escorts safe from arrest. They in theory are places legitimate escorts register to be able to hook up with legitimate potential clients. Legitimate in this case when referring to clients means not the cops. A screening service will screen a potential by often doing a work verification. Making sure that whoever, is really Joe the plumber and not Jack the cop. I'm not sure how they do their client screens but I know how I do them and its pretty extensive. There are many ways to verify someones employment. Visa does it all the time and I personally employ some of Visa's methods. No I wont tell you what they are. You have to be on your game. The smarter the cops get the…

Don’t Be a Cunt

[caption id="attachment_1876" align="alignleft" width="289"] Rage against the reviewer[/caption]Reviews, reviews, reviews.. It's all the rage to rage against reviews. Ok, I get it they are problematic but lets not forget that potential clients sometimes read them and use them when choosing an escort to see. We don't have to like that but it is a fact. Lets also not forget that as much as we may not be comfortable with reviews raging on men who use them from the ultra obsessive reviewer to the casual reader just makes us look like the crazy ones. I'm serious and I know that seems strange coming from me. The chick who in the last decade went to war with review culture and put my money where my mouth was by putting my actual working…

[caption id="attachment_1810" align="alignright" width="300"] Human Trafficking[/caption]The rescue industry is trying to change trafficking laws again, this time in CA. There's a very well detailed blog about prop 35 in CA on the Orange Juice Blog  which I read and commented on a while back and even if you're not living in CA you might want to take a read and see how this very flawed legislation breaks down. I was born behind the Orange Curtain and only last year moved out of CA after living there my whole life so I still am very interested in the state and its politics but you don't have to live in CA to be concerned. Legislation like this could come to a city and town near you. I was reading the other day…
