My History.....in brief.

I expect you might be wondering exactly what my experience is?

well, I've checked my memory banks and from that information I've compiled a list of some of the places I've worked, and what they were REALLY like......

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maison D'Amour - Parramatta & Seven Hills, Sydney (closed)

This place was a great start for me. It was located in an old refurbished townhouse right in the middle of Parramatta.
The manager was Female, and used to be a sexworker herself so she was always on hand for advice & support. The other girls working there were all very friendly and always encouraged to be supportive of one another, and we often entertained ourselves with a whole heap of sillyness on the quiet days!
The Manager organized all of our health check-ups from a sexual health clinic which visited the Parlour 2 days a month so we didn't have to "go out of our way" to have our check-ups.
This Parlour provided evrything we needed to be comfortable, including a cooked meal when on shift.
It is a real shame that Parlours like this don't seem to exist anymore.....


Studio 43 - St Mary's, Sydney

This place was decidedly dodgy! I worked here on reception for about 2 months, before being encouraged to perform other services as they had only 3 girls working there. I was not happy about this, but at the time I really needed the cash so I jumped into a dual-role, until the place hit rockbottom and was only catering to drunks and junkies. eeewww.
Thank heavens it closed before someone got seriously hurt!


Studio 9 - St. Mary's, Sydney

This place was, if you havn't already guessed, linked to Studio 43.
But unlike it's partner, Studio 9 was supposed to be a massage-only place, which I thought would give me more experience in that particular area.
But the rules were very pliable, and encouragement was given constantly to perform full services, often for only $30 extra!!
I resisted the offer numerous times, so my clientele started to decline as they realised that I wasn't offering myself up so cheaply.


Claudia's Penthouse - 2 locations- Parramatta & Top Ryde, Sydney

I joined Claudia's at the Parramatta branch, but found myself not really comfortable there. The security wasn't all that great, the other girls working there were nearly all drug-users, and the spa was only cleaned every 3 days! yuk.
Within 3 weeks I moved to the Top Ryde branch, where security was better. The Manager, Rick, although not female, was friendly and supportive, most of the girls had "day jobs" and enjoyed a bit of a drink instead of taking drugs, and the clientele were mostly professional people.
I stayed on here for 10 months.
I enjoyed my time @ Top Ryde, it was a nice clean place with nice people too :) .

Golden Girls - Homebush, Sydney - closed?
Not exactly a classy place, but it had all the requirements.....
The rooms were quite big here, but the heating wasn't that great!
When I started there, most of the other girls had been there for awhile, and I found it hard to make friends because as with most parlours, they didn't appreciate more competition!
But I gritted my teeth through the whispered insults and whinging for 2 months untill I made the money I needed to make and got outta there!
Working here was a lonely experience, one I'd never wish upon anyone.


The Penthouse - Pitt St, Sydney central - http://www.thepenthouse.com.au

This place is definately your more up-market establishment, very classy surroundings, great rooms, and very tight security.
The downside? 12 hour shifts with up to 30 girls per shift, so competition is fierce!
Be prepared for meeting high standards as far as your appearance goes - if you're not up to scratch, you won't be allowed "on the floor" and you'll be fined for it too.
The girls here spend a fortune on beauty treatments, clothing and makeup - and some never make that money back, they leave because the competition and the rules are really intense.
The upside? Huge $$$ potential if you are prepared to "play the game" and stick it out.
The Penthouse caters to very wealthy businessmen and politicians, from Australia and around the world....


Number 52 - Penrith, Sydney (closed)

This place was massage only and was located right next door to Penrith Police Station!
Not exactly bustling with activity, but it was a good place to make a few extra $$ to help with the bills.
It was here that I had my experience of being "ripped-off" by a client - there was no "onsite management" here, so you had to look after your own takings till the "boss" came in to pick up his share at the end of shift.
I had just finished a one hour massage for a new client, and had gone to the bathroom to shower. When I came back to the room, the client was gone...and so was the money he'd just paid me, along with the money for my two previous jobs!!
(I had kept my $ in a plain paper bag under a set of drawers in my room, because I didn't trust the other girls not to steal it if I left it in the designated kitchen cupboard)
I would never put the clients money in it in front of him while he was still in the room, I'd wait till I bustled him off for a shower before we started before I put my cash "away". I suspect that it could well have been one of the other girls whom I didn't get along with that had told the client in question where to find it.
NOT a good day.


ESP - Crows Nest, Sydney (under new management now)

It looks like this place has changed a bit since I went there years ago.....
it Was quite a grubby place with grubby girls and clientele.
I stayed here for only one shift, because it just wasn't worth it at the time!


Venus - Katoomba

A very small place with only one operable "working room".
Certainly a classic case of too many cheifs and not enough indians! LoL
This place was NOT busy, hours and hours of tv watching and local gossip going on here.....
The management was split between Eric, who was a great person, reliable, friendly, supportive and kind
- and Heather, who was underhanded, bitchy behind your back, and who certainly didn't appreciate people having more fun than she was.
Talk about your ups and downs!
Not a great deal of money made here, but I had fun all the same.....

The Scarlet Lounge - Whangarei, NZ

Where do I start with this one?!
Quite frankly, this place is a shambles from start to finish.
Badly run, badly decorated, bad, bad, bad!
After years in the industry, this place still came as quite a shock!
this place is by no means upmarket in any way - from the manner of the person answering the phone, to the clientele you'll meet here.
*(please believe me - I was only here to research the industry in NZ)
I found that the place was being run by a 24 year old "boy" who had absoloutely no experience of Parlours than visiting them himself, along with a very arrogant, backstabbing manageress who loves a drink. On Duty.
The place was smelly, badly furnished, (think of your nana's bedspread & dusty plastic flowers) and only one shower between 5 rooms!
The other girls? Hmm, what can I say? No offense meant, but girls - you can do better!!
Technically, the rules are no drinking or drugs on premises, but lets say that's not really enforced, more encouraged...
On one occasion, two workmates had a blazing row over who owed who drugs
- in front of clients in the lounge
It turned into a bit of a brawl, with thankfully the only casualty being a mobile phone.
The boy-wonder manager chose to ignore these types of problems, resulting in the place not exactly being somewhere anyone with half a brain would want to work.
God knows how it manages to pass council inspections.......
*note: apparently this place has undergone some refurbishments, but the feedback is that nothing else has changed.


After the Scarlet Lounge, I began working privately, with MUCH better results......but more about that later.
