DCHobbyist Idiot DuJour

Internet, prostitution, sex work
[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

prostitution, sex work
[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…

WTF Is Hapening To City Vibe

sex work
[caption id="attachment_1885" align="alignleft" width="217" caption="why be original"][/caption]City Vibe was a major player in the escort advertising world. You could get a big glossy ad in any major city in the US and even some not so major ones. They had some kinda link exchange deal with the big national review website, yanno the one that boasts a gazillion escort reviews. If you had a profile on that site you would often find a link to your ad on Eros or some other site replaced by a link to City Vibe. When I started touring, City Vibe would often give me a free ad in what ever city I was traveling to. I didn't ask for this ad they would just do it and somehow they knew where I was traveling…
