    I love Ottawa because it's a small and personable city, similar to Quebec City which is where I'm from. It has the luxuries of a larger metropolitan city center like Toronto or Montreal, without the size and congestion. I love the incredibly amount of festivals that happen here. There's Fringe Festival which is a week-long event with over 50 plays. There's VerseFest which is a spoken word week-long event similar to Fringe. I love InsideOut, which is a GLBTQ movie festival at the National Garllery of Canada. There are some really beautiful parks in Ottawa as well. I love how many bike paths we have too! It's a city meant for cyclists. There's a beautiful view of the city from the Alexandra Bridge. It's really worth it to gross over to the Gatineau side if only for that. I really love our coffee shops. We have a lot of independently owned and operated coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. I love that! In terms of clothing we have some really cute independent stores as well. Like the Workshop Boutique, Victoire's, and Kania. I love visiting Ottawa's Gay Village, Chinatown, and Little Italy, too! In terms of restaurants, TOWN and Zen Kitchen are superb. They are definitely my go-to places for a good meal. They are also independently owned and operated :) Of course, there's the ordinary tourist things that are really fun to see as well. Visiting Canada's Parliament Hill, the Supreme Court of Canada, and the Parliamentary Library are all musts. What I love the most about this city though...are the people! I find people very nice and approachable here. I'm from the country so it was refreshing to have the joys of metropolitan living without feeling like I'm alone all the time.

    Discussing the laws themselves and what they mean is useful, but the more important questions is how those laws are used by the police. Some laws, although on the books, aren't enforced for a variety of reasons. For example, ninety-eight percent of prostitution related offenses are brought against outdoor sex workers. They are usually charged with s.213 (the communicating provision). If you're unknown to the police, largely work indoors (except when moving from your incall to their parked truck and/or motor home), and only rarely (very very rarely) move from your incall to their truck I really don't think you have anything to worry about (minus the safety precautions Jessica Lee mentioned). The police usually respond to community-based complaints against particular workers... I don't think you'll be targeted in that way. Of course, there's always a risk, but that's the case with having an incall too. IMHO, you're very unlikely to be targeted by the police. I've had clients drive me places after appointments on occasion and I never thought twice about it. While your situation might be different, no one knows that.

    I would add... Ani DiFranco Joni Mitchell Both are incredible (incredible) guitarists and were (or still are as is the case with Ani) producing/writing/performing their own music in a predominantly male environment. Total icons!

    I really like this poem, Anna. Thanks for sharing. What inspired you to write it? For me it resonated because it really speaks to those moments we share with clients - those special and secret moments - that we can't share with anyone else. It's a private intimacy, and an intimacy that demands supreme discretion. I also like how you used the possessive pronoun at the very end when you said "to the place that is my knowing". Ultimately it is yours - yours to keep - yours to cherish - yours to own. It doesn't belong to anyone else. I hope you post more :)

    My friends and family know that I'm an escort. Although I'm not out on 'paper' because I'm apprehensive about the effect this could have on future career opportunities. For example, if you Google my real name there is no indication that I've worked as an escort. Apart from being slightly worried about my safety on occasion, mainly because of what they hear in the media, my friends and family know that I'm an intelligent young woman and I'm doing what's in my best interest, both emotionally, physically, and financially. When I speak to 'square' folk (as Cat aptly put it) I do think it's a great opportunity to disrupt some of the stereotypes associated with the industry. Most people react with curiosity and want to ask questions without being rude or invasive. I've had good experiences almost everytime I've told someone, but that's perhaps because I surround myself with awesome people! I don't scream it from the rooftops but I definitely don't hide it either. It's definitely hard when people seem supportive but prove not to be later down the line... It's an entirely different story for people in the industry who have SOs, be they sex workers or clients. Being out can have broader implications. Sometimes there are two (or more) people to take into consideration...

    I'm not entirely sure it's a concept practiced or experienced by this community, to be honest. At least in my experience, the intimacy shared (both physical and emotional) isn't 'monogamous' per se. To me, the expression doesn't embody anything I can relate to. My heart loves and cares about many people. As RG stated, all relationships are unique. Regardless of whether you're heart is 'monogamous' or not, that doesn't mean we (clients or escorts) love our SOs any less, desire them any less, or respect them any less. That being said, I think I'm poly at heart... ;) Nat xox

    Good afternoon everyone, I've posted some thoughts from my Kingston trip in my blog: http://lovely-nathalie.com/blog/ The blog post includes insights about a dilemma I've been facing in my life lately and an insightful conversation with both a client and my step-father! Previously I posted a porn video from Tube8 ;) I think it's super sexy so check it out. Have a good one! Nat xox

    I posted a video from Tube8 that I really (really) love on my blog. It's one of the best pornographic videos I've seen in a while! Check it out: http://lovely-nathalie.com/blog/

    Realizing that the day was intellectually productive enough, and deciding to stop productivity for the remainder of it! I'm going to relax, watch a movie, and take a bath this evening! I deserve it!

    Good afternoon everyone, I posted some photographs, thoughts, and feelings about my trip to South America on my blog. To view my blog, click here. I just got back yesterday. There's no place like home, seriously! I'm feeling really grateful to be back, surrounded by people I love and cherish, and in my own bed! It's never felt so good to sit at my computer desk. I hope you enjoy the pictures, Nat xox

    I have always felt fairly conflicted about listing specific services (menu style). It really takes away from the spontaneity of the encounter IMHO. Personally, everything is YMMV with my guests depending on a variety of factors (hygiene, trust, comfort level, length of the encounter, how long I've known the client, etc.). I do have some hard limits and those are listed on my website.

    Cleo is right, many escorts really enjoy seeing couples (myself included). Georgiana Sweet also sees couples.

    Thank you, everyone! The some(ee)card below isn't entirely accurate, I do have wonderful friends, but it made me chuckle nonetheless. The best birthday gift came for me today. I was notified that my Brazilian visa was approved for my trip on August 11th. I'm so, so excited. I'll surely see some of you before I leave, but for the rest, see you in September! <3!

    Best birthday gift ever: the Embassy of Brazil approved my tourist visa application! That was the last piece of the puzzle. Omg. So excited. I'll be gone from August 11th - September 8th! *jumps around excitedly* ahhhhh!

    Personally, I don't like thinking of the relationships I have in the industry as less real than relationships I have outside the industry. I also don't like thinking about this notion of "fantasy" versus "reality". Life is so much more complicated than real/fake or fantasy/reality. I think boundaries are really important between a service provider and client, but they are equally important in all relationships be they in the industry or not. People have different boundaries (sometimes fluid and sometimes not) for different reasons and I think it's important we respect the decisions people make about their relationships and business model(s).
