I was beginning to wonder if you’d fallen off the planet. Promise us you’ll blog about your travels, when you can.

Alexa,
Still hanging on!
I will blog and Tweet, of course! Hopefully more photos too.
Oh — I am behind on my emails but I’m sure this surprises no one.

Amanda, could you share any information about the Toledo event? Place/time? Will it be open to the public?
Thanks

Outis,
Not sure if it will be open to the public or not. I rather doubt it. But you can find out everything here:

Thanks for asking!

YAY! I hope you can get around to Chicago. I’d LOVE to see you again! I need to drop you an email line anyway, but I reckon you’ve been as busy as I have. Got some catching up to do!
I have to say though, fixin’ to get ready to? Wow, that’s a whole lotta pre-preparation!

Aspasia,
You’re one of those people I want to see. It’s been too long! And I want soul-food while I’m there.
Good to hear you’re busy! I hope that means good things for you, at any rate.
My title is my East Texas dialect coming out. I say this a lot and more than once people have pointed out the phrasing is a little…funny.

I’m all over the soul-food angle!
I know I’ve used “fixin’ ta” before, so let that East Texas dialect come out.

Would love to read your paper for the Toledo conference… any chance you can post it here???

Casey,
I don’t know actually. Not sure about the rules on that. I’ll have to ask. If so, I will post it but it will be after we present on Friday.

Your posts have been missed. I look forward to continuing to follow your travels. Your comments about the world around you create a very interesting and thought provoking read.

I love your blog! I read your escort books too- they were fantastic

Greg,
Thank you! I’ll post more often. A lot of things are getting settled, especially after the conference next week. I ALWAYS have a backlog of posts and emails.
Gypsy,
Thank you so much! LOVE hearing that!
Casey,
No, we are not going to release the paper after the conference. My co-author is working toward academic publication. This is like a rough draft, believe it or not. We’ve discussed a book (groan!). So…no, paper out. I like the idea of academic publication!

Amanda, Happy 34th birthday. You don’t look a day over 25. Enjoy your day. Check your emails for a birthday present. Delivery will take 24 – 48 hours from today.

Agent009,
Thank you! And thank you!

Happy belated birthday. I read from your posts that it was this week. I had today off so I finally got a chance to log in. Enjoy your time and I wish you well.

Hi! First time viewer here and I’ve come across your site as I read your first book, freshly delivered by Amazon. I’m very interested in pursuing this career and learning all I can from one of the smartest professionals out there, so thank you!
I know this comment is random, but I thought I’d address something I read in your book. In your section on the history of internet use among escorts, you mentioned that there’s no documentation on the matter. I have something you may wish to read which actually does fully chart the major shift from majority “streetwalking” to the internet age of middle-class, internet using and educated escorts. “Temporarily Yours” by Elizabeth Bernstein gives the whole story with an exhaustively researched, scholarly approach!
Thanks again for everything that you do. Though I am a MtF transgendered individual looking to get into the business, I know I have much to learn from your experiences and look forward to being able to start on a firmer footing than most! <3 <3

Cheyenne,
Thanks for the comments! GIves me a big smile.
I have yet to read her book but I do have it (in a box in storage). Amazon shows it being published after Book 1. I look forward to reading it now since it does include a history! Someone needed to do it.
Wishing you much success in your new journey! Keep yourself safe. Look forward to seeing you blossom!

Labor violations in the brothel system? I’d always assumed that they set them up as independent contractors so they wouldn’t have to be covered by labor regulations. I forgot about the people who serve the drinks and vacuum the floors, though.

Mitch,
You don’t understand. The BIG labor violation is that supposedly we’re independent contractors yet we’re treated like employees. So we either need to be employees or true independent contractors — being in this grey area is indeed illegal.
Plus a number of other things. Should’ve been there!

All the best for 2010 and hope you travel and get chances for tours to more and more countries…..Buy me a beer if my prayers are answered, OK?

Hi Amanda,
Wishing you luck ahead during your travel, tours and holidays….from London UK
Kind regards,
