o·ver·reach (vr-rch) v. o·ver·reached, o·ver·reach·ing, o·ver·reach·es

[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…

Risky Behavior

prostitution, sex work
[caption id="attachment_1800" align="alignleft" width="300"] Yes, there will be hookers but will there be ballons?[/caption]I've written about hooker meet and greets  before, I'm sure this wont be the last time I write about them but let me say this loud and clear... Escort meet and greets are not safe! As further proof how these functions have taken a dive in the safety arena (they took a dive in the class arena long ago)  is the latest from New York Magazine "Johns Night Out" Where a reporter gains access to an "exclusive" meet and greet he heard about on the largest hooker review website out there, you know the one that boasts a bizillion reviews of escorts. A public notice was posted about the upcoming event and it appears the reporter asked…

You’d think it would be easier

Internet, Jenny DeMilo, sex work
I've given up trying to deal with third parties when it comes to hosting my video promo clips. YouTube thinks my tongue is "adult" and actively goes after any of the fetish girls posting non adult material which is compliant with their TOS.  I've been deleted off that site so many times I cant keep count. Vimeo and I got into it last year when they decided i couldn't link to any of my websites (including this blog even though other users link to their self promotion blogs) and told me i couldn't watermark my videos with anything that would direct any Vimeo viewer  to any of my sites where i then in turned linked to a clip site. Yes, Vimeo is trying to police several links out and also…

To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short

prostitution, sex work
[caption id="attachment_1781" align="alignleft" width="300"] They Matter[/caption]Shes nuts, that's clear. Not that shes a little off, she's tinfoil hat wearing, frantic OCD and inconsistent in her writing style kinda nuts. I've gotten into a comment battle with her before. She will often pop up on any and every prostitution related story. Not in the story itself but in the comments. She says shes a former sex worker, she uses all the language the abolitionist use, shes anti sex worker who says she has seen prostitutes murdered before her and tells tales of pimps and hos that is the stuff of TV movies. She thinks were all trafficked victims and shes called activists "pimps" for fighting for the rights of sex workers. I don't like her, she offends me in many ways.…

Dont worry little lady

sex work
[caption id="attachment_1774" align="alignleft" width="250"] Next... Billboards![/caption]Advertising is always tricky when you're a sex worker. When I was escorting it was a monthly headache to figure out which sites to give my very hard earned cash to. Always trying to get the most bang for your advertising buck. Escort advertising is veryexpensive, it can be cost prohibitive and you have to be smart about it. No one wants to spend hundreds of dollars every month for no return and though no website can guarantee you business, they can give you an idea of their traffic stats to help you make an informed decision. Now that most of my advertising is aimed at my fetish clip business, I'm always looking for new ways and places to branch out and put myself and…
