Believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear
as always... people are ready to slam escorts... same people that are probably running massage parlors. JUICE (Just Us Independent Escorts) is run by a fellow. I'm not saying that there's nothing odd or different about him (more in a bit)... just that NOT EVERY ESCORT works for JUICE and not every escort doesn't have a web site and not every escort is a waste of time and not every escort is into bait and switch. Geez.
Anyway... with JUICE - he "claims" to run an advertising service and an answering service. Some girls will get sent out (when you ask for one) and they will pay him a fee for having been sent out, while others pay him a flat fee per month for the privilege of working relatively independently of his services.
I keep saying the best way to find out if someone is independent... first, see if you are talking to the escort herself (not someone describing her) and ask if she takes credit cards (97% don't). Yes... I believe one or two independents do - but for the most part, an independent can't - because she doesn't have a dummy company that can clear the transaction for her. So just phone, ask, and say thanks. And check out the next ad.
Independent names in the Edmonton Sun... Kathleen, Donna, Josee, Martina, Lynn, Andrew (yes... a guy - for those that are interested), Penny, Jaden, Pat, Monica, Suzette, Josee.
I mean... really - that's 11 names in just today's paper that are independent gals. No one else is likely to answer their phone. Some of them have websites. Ask them... if they have one, they are not going to mind giving it to you so that you can see what they look like.
