The Diary of a Modern Courtesan
Posts tagged as:
A lot of people have asked me what I thought about Belle de Jour’s outing of herself recently.1 Now, unless you’ve been living in a cave, you are probably aware that Dr. Brooke Magnanti revealed last week that she was the person behind the pseudonymous prostitute that captured everyone’s attention with her blog, Diary of [...]

After lengthy consideration, I’ve updated my rate structure to better reflect the way I see myself positioned within the larger escort/professional companion community. Some rates have gone down a bit (i.e., the 24-hour rate), some have gone away (rates for a week at a time), and I’ve rebuilt the specific package construction to tailor it [...]

In a previous post, I made a comment about explaining to someone what I did for a living. Personally, I have been ambivalent about describing it, but on this blog and in some other places, I’ve listed “courtesan” as my “job.” Someone unfamiliar with the term, though, asked me a couple of days [...]

In this post, I made reference to an interesting conversation I had with the girl who processed my rental application for my apartment in San Francisco.
One of the questions on the application is “Place of Employment.” Naturally, I wrote “self-employed.”
“I see you are self-employed. What do you do?”
How to answer that question. [...]
