The Real Princess Diaries reached another milestone today – it’s 2-millionth visitor. And while some web sites get that many visitors in a single day, the overwhelming majority of personal blogs never see that many visitors throughout their entire existence. So for those of you who read, or have read, RPD, I am [...]

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 [...]

“Mike” completed the online application a couple of weeks ago, wanting to be my first appointment after I started accepting clients in the San Francisco area. After I verified his identity, we began e-mailing back and forth so that I could get to know him a bit. Some providers prefer to talk to people on [...]

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 [...]
