Wish Lists, An Update

A few months ago I wrote a couple of posts about escort wish lists and promised to publish my own one soon. Now "soon" may not be a defined length of time, but going by the amount of text I managed to produce on the subject, you could be forgiven for expecting me to have added one by now!
My "gifts in place of fees" experiment will have to be put on hold for the time being, but with the recent controversy surrounding the, by now, infamous wish list of Danica from Celebrity Big Brother, now seemed a good time to finally finish and advertise my own Amazon Wish List.
A recent thread on the fabulous escorts forum over at Saafe (a must-read for any newbie escort and those thinking of entering the industry) has alerted me to a danger associated with the Amazon Wish Lists of which I was previously unaware. The idea is you can create a list of things you'd like and people can then treat you to one (or more!) of those items without ever knowing your real name or address - they pay and Amazon delivers without disclosing any details. The problem arises when you add items from other Internet sites to your Amazon Wish List. Apparently there have been incidents where ladies' details have been shared despite their opting to keep them private. As my wish list included items from sources separate from Amazon (most notably Myla and Agent Provocateur,) it's just as well I have neglected to advertise it before now.
It was while browsing other escorts' blogs that I discovered there was a more suitable alternative to the Amazon Wish List for my needs. I spied on the truly excellent blog of Miss Charlotte Dean that it is possible to create a wish list with Love Honey. As the Love Honey site has the best range of sex toys and accessories I've found to date, I shall be starting a list with them this very evening. I hope Miss Charlotte Dean doesn't mind my copying her. Do check out her blog. As I mentioned before, it's really fabulous.

A Great Tool For Escorts

I've recently come across an excellent tool for escorts (and anyone else for that matter) who are concerned that their photos may have been stolen. It's well known that some girls do steal other escorts pictures rather than getting their own sorted, which can be very frustrating for those who have invested their time and money to produce great images.
Tineye is a well-known way to check the authenticity of photos found on websites and profiles, but that requires the image to be found. A Firefox add-on called Who Stole My Pictures? works like a reverse Tineye, using various search engines to hunt for duplicate copies of an image around the web. Once installed it is as simple as right clicking on a picture and selecting the new entry in the drop-down menu.
I must admit I've found it rather addictive to play with. I've only discovered a couple of my photos being used by other girls so far, and actually I've found it rather flattering. I can imagine there would be some incidents where I wouldn't be so laid back about having my photos stolen however, and I'll certainly be checking for more cases in the future.
Anyway, while I was playing with this latest tool, it came to my attention how time consuming it is to view all the photos in this blog. I've therefore created a new page (predictably named "Gallery") to bunch them all together in one easy to find location.

Available for Escort Appointments Again, Finally!

(and a little insight into calling an escort for the first time.)

After an extended break from escorting, I'm pleased to announce that I'm finally available for Chester in-calls once again, as well as out-calls across the North West.
I've had my phone switched on for a few days already - mainly as an experiment to discover how much of a difference is made to the volume of calls my phone receives by updating my site and posting a blog entry. Almost everyone I've spoken to has asked if I'm back from my travels yet. This has delighted me, allow me to explain the reason why.

Clients calling to arrange an escort booking tend to fall into one of two broad categories.

1. The client who's in the area and wants to see an escort, any escort, and wants to see them very soon

This client is acting on impulse with no advance planning. He will search for the details of anyone available in that area. After a quick glance over the photos of everyone found, this client will try calling the listed mobile number of anyone where he likes what he sees. Phrases they're likely to say include:

"I could be there in 20 minutes!"

"What do you charge for half an hour?"

and then there's the one I bet most ladies dread the most:

"Can I have some details please?"

By now you may well be wondering where I'm going with this. After all none of the above are in any way offensive, while the last one is perfectly polite, they even said "please."

2. The client who's been planning his visit for some time

This client has really done his homework. He's researched the ladies working in the area, narrowed it down to a few possibilities, then gone back to visit the sites of those selected on more than one occasion... well you can see where I'm headed. This gentleman (and they almost always are just that: lovely, well-mannered, respectful gentlemen) doesn't just want to see an escort, he wants to meet us - as in ourselves - personally. They tend to be interested in who we are as people, not just what we look like and how much we charge. Clients can fall into this category even if they haven't planned the visit in advance, the key difference (and a better title perhaps) is this client has at least taken the trouble to read the information given on our sites.

Now I don't proclaim to speak for every escort, but I bet I speak for many when I say we really appreciate it when a prospective client takes the time to read the information we've provided on our sites and profiles or, at the very least, the parts relevant to their needs. Of course I'm happy to confirm important points, such as price and/or availability of a specific service, when a meeting is being arranged - far better to do so than risk embarrassment or disappointment after all. What I do not wish to do is give a full description of myself over the phone. Nor do I want to recite a full list the services I offer. And it is just plain awkward to find myself met with stunned silence or an incredulous reaction when my rates are mentioned, from someone who had planned to spend less than £100 on the appointment.

I will not be trying to "sell" a booking when you call.

If you need to be enticed into arranging a meeting, or persuaded into booking when you're in two minds about it all, please don't bother to phone me. That's the purpose of my websites, it's what I put them up there for. I'm more likely to try to talk you out of making a booking than I am try to talk you into it! If anything about our conversation sets alarm bells ringing, or if I even get the feeling we won't "click" I will suggest, as politely as possible, that I may not be quite what you're looking for. It's a luxury I'm afforded by the fact I now limit in-calls to a maximum of four each week, and I'd far rather have no work than take any chances.


So why have I been so delighted to be asked if I'm back in the country again yet? Well it shows the caller has read my site and/or blog at least sufficiently to know the last update I published said I was taking a break to go on my travels. And that means they're my kind of client!

Announcement: Part 3

I've been having a rethink about how best to maximise the amount of money I can raise between now and Saturday afternoon.

I've decided to offer one hour appointments for a fee of £150 for the next four days - it is for charity after all! (Please see Parts 1 and 2 of this announcement for an explanation of what on earth I'm talking about.)

Please call me on 07581753275 or email me at chloeofchester@live.co.uk if you'd like to make a booking.

Announcement: Part 2

Alas I am still having no luck updating my main site.

The email address I've just set up, as promised in the first part of this announcement is:

 chloeofchester@live.co.uk

You can send an email to this address (if I've managed to set that link up properly that is!)

Hope to hear from you soon xxx

Announcement: Only available for 5 more days this spring

Just a quick announcement as I'm having a few technical problems updating my main escort site.

I have booked another exotic trip to the tropics, this time for an extended vacation, and will only be available between now and Saturday afternoon (14th April.)

As previously advertised, I'm relaxing my usual rule of 2 hours minimum. One hour to 90 minute bookings are on offer, for a fee of £200.

The area I'm visiting is incredibly poor. All the money I earn between now and the time I leave is entirely reserved for charitable purposes. Every last penny will be put towards improving the living standards of some of the world's poorest, most deserving people.

There's one orphanage in particular with which I have very strong ties, and I hope to raise enough to fund a couple of projects, both of which will make a real difference to the lives of the children who live there.

Please rest assured, I am not asking for donations of any kind. Any monies received are strictly in exchange for services provided, as per usual. I'd just like to stress that if you've been contemplating making an appointment for some point in the future, now would be a great time to put that plan into action.

If you've attempted to contact me in the past and not had any luck, firstly may I express my sincerest apologies. I will open a new email account and post a link on this blog within the hour. This account should be reserved for those genuinely interested in making a booking before the end of the week.

Thank you in advance to anyone who is able to help me raise some funds over the next few days,

love Chloe xxx

Escort Directory Banners and rethinking my site's "Links" page

I've been rethinking the "Links" page on my main escort site.

Traditionally escorts' links pages have consisted of a stack of banners for escort advertising directories, and perhaps a few linking off to the personal sites of other independent ladies. Now, you may or may not be aware that those escort directories usually give the independent a free basic listing, on the condition that the lady places their banner (which works as a return link) on her site.

Then the biggest hitters (ie. the directories which send most visitors to each escort's site) started insisting their banners were placed on the "Home" pages of ladies' sites. That's fair enough in my opinion, for 2 perhaps 3 directories that send me hundreds of visitors each week, and don't require a penny in return.

The trouble is, more and more directories started demanding a Home page banner. In fact, it's got to the point now where, bar the odd one or two, the only banners found on the Links page of escort sites belong to those directories which have got double greedy and demand a banner on the Links pages AS WELL AS the Home page.

I say "enough of the madness!" I've decided to reclaim my Links page, and make it into a page with content worth reading. Then hopefully it will add value and interest to my site. Oh yeah, and banners are strictly forbidden!

The directories are welcome to the bottom of my Home page, underneath the "Enter Site" button and my adult content warning. That page isn't even included in my site's main navigational menu - once the "Enter" button has been hit that page is redundant, unless the user hits the back arrow on their browser, which is quite funny when you think about it.

Now before any directory owner who happens to stumble over this post starts turning red with indignation, I will add a very complimentary descriptive text link to their directory on my Links page, if it's one that does good things for me. I'd imagine that'd be worth far more value than another bloody banner, and lo, sanity, natural order and the original function of my Links page have been restored!

One Final Weekend In London for a while

Since having my latest photo shoot in London at the beginning of the year, I've been popping down to London on a regular basis. This has resulted in my getting together with a lot of old friends and I've had a wonderful time. It's only my determination of be in the continent directly South of this one by early March that is keeping my feet firmly planted in Chester throughout February. (March 10th AT THE VERY LATEST - I'm really not a fan of the cold, whereas I do have a penchant for odd equatorial climate.)

A quick aside here because, well it's MY blog goddammit, and I'll rant if I want to. My genuine adoration of the equatorial climate (dry season at any rate) does leave me very intolerant of any form of racism. If you suffer from any of kind of racial complaint, well sorry for you, really I am. It's best not to bring it into our time together however, as it won't be time enjoyed. A heads up to any submissives reading this too, a racial hate word is NEVER a safe word.

But I digress... This morning, I had a telephone conversation that piqued my interest and persuaded me to take one last foray down to our glorious capital before I start the build up to my next exotic adventure.

In my civilian life I know one or two people well regarded in the music industry. (I know one or two in my escort life too, but you'll be relieved to know that's a storyline I'd never travel down.) Anyway, one of these civilian friends has inadvertently hooked up a great producer with civilian Chloe's secret alter ego (that's me if I've lost you, Chloe the escort!) This producer has a very interesting secret project in the pipeline, with which he needs help from someone with adult industry expertise. As he has far more to lose from being outed than I do, I'm happy to offer my assistance without fear of reprisals (Don't you love how I'm an alter ego and an expert, and all in the space of two sentences.)

Another Photo from Shoot at Ella Studios

At this rate I'll have no unseen photos for my new site. Oh well, once again I can't resist sharing a photo I like!

One More Photo Preview

I know I'm supposed to be saving my lovely pictures from my shoot at Ella Studios to use on my new website, but I just can't resist sharing one more with any readers I may have out there. Someone commented (via Twitter) that my back looked a little skinny in the photos I'd previously posted. I think this picture proves that is certainly not the case. Again this photo is absent of any airbrushing, so again, please be kind!

Photo shoot at Ella Studios

I recently decided it was time for another professional photo shoot, as it's a year since I had my last one. There's a photographer I've wanted to work with since I worked for Maxes Angels in London around 1997, but Max was having none of it. Well I'm independent these decide for myself days and who does my photos, so I went ahead and booked a shoot with Ella of Ella Studios.

The shoot was fantastic, but more about that another time. So far I only have the original shots, I'll be getting the final edits sometime next week. I'm afraid I won't be publishing them straight away, as I intend to save them for the brand new site I'm in the process of creating.


As I haven't added any photos to this blog recently I thought I'd upload a couple of teaser previews of my shoot. Obviously these pictures haven't been airbrushed at all, but I still think they're lovely.
