I adore Inez and her talent for capturing that something special. Every time I shoot with her I’m relaxed, and when I see the results I’m simply blown away! This is one of my new favorite pics

Do you get as mad as a one eyed chihuahua when it comes to Windows Vista?

Other than that life is fantastic.

I took this in LA at my condo, before the painting began.

There are many different ways for escorts to screen their clients. Using references is one way that some determine whether a client is safe to see.

Now, this does not mean a reference from your brother, mom, boss, secretary or best friend. It means that you have seen an escort,FBSM, or BDSM provider in the recent past and they vouch that you are not an ax murderer, rapist, violent, or otherwise unsafe to see, you were a gentleman and they would see you again if you requested so.

Some ladies do not feel comfortable giving references at all, some won’t after a certain amount of time. For instance, I will not give a reference for you if we have not seen each other in over a year. People change and I don’t know what your MO is after that length of time. It also makes me worry that you are reaching back that far that you may have been a bad client in the meantime between seeing me and wanting to see the new escort.

When giving a reference, just a name is not going to cut it. You should provide an email address and website or advertisement for the girl you are using as a reference. Most ladies prefer email when being contacted about a reference than a phone number but if that is all you have then list that as well. Its also a great idea to give the lady a heads up that you are using her as a reference.

I shot this pic of my feet today:)

What is Private travel?
Private Travel is when you have an escort travel to you and only you for a set amount of time outside her home area. Basically, you are flying her to you. She is only there to see you and not anyone else.

What about travel expenses?
Typically the client would pay travel expenses for the escort to travel to him/her as well as a deposit. Travel expenses would include airfare and hotel expenses.

What kind of deposit would be required?
Obviously, the escort will want some assurance that you are serious and that you will be there to see her. Yes, there are jokers out there that flake. Every escort is different, please see her website.

How long can I book an appointment for with private travel?
Longer engagements are preferred for travel. An escort is rarely going to travel to you for just an hour unless you pay her rate for her travel time. In my case, I require a 4 hour minimum for the US and 2 days for travel outside of the US.

How much advance notice would I have to book?
This would greatly depend on an escorts schedule. Usually a couple weeks notice is sufficient but always check with the lady of your choice. My own schedule is rather hectic but with enough lead time, I’m sure we can find time that will work for both of us.

This pic is a little goofy but I had to share it anyway. I don’t know what that grin means but I think I was laughing when the camera clicked off this photo.

I talk about my pups a lot so I figured I’d post a family pic of me and the family, well, my canine family anyway:)

From left to right:

Loco, Cocoa, Tiny, Lainie

I usually try to keep my writings light and not rant, bitch or complain much but today I couldn’t help myself. I have received several emails with just a name and a phone number. Oh Yay! I utilize the “delete” button if not reply with a smart ass answer. Not only are they one line emails that have no personality to speak of, now the fools want me to call them. I know they didn’t care to read my website so if they don’t care to read, I don’t care to speak to them.

Why I hate the phone or my aversion to it:

1. Inappropriate Questions-I’m not going to talk about sex, acts, or money, so what else is there but to get screening info and talk about scheduling or where to meet for dinner?

2. Heavy Breathers-I’m just not very good at that whole phone sex stuff. I tried it in college and even then I got paid for it!

3. Being asked to describe myself- Now, this one kinda cracks me up. Didn’t they get the phone number from an ad or my website in the first place? I even had a few ask my stats, yes, they said stats. Ads are for advertising, I’m not about to go into some sales rap about myself. Some may see this as a missed opportunity but then again, those questions only lead to # 1 and #2 anyway.

4. Time is of the Essence There is nothing wrong with a friendly chat or getting know know someone for a few minutes but some people would literally try to keep me on the phone for over an hour. This just took up most of my time and I couldn’t get anything done! Some just like to waste time anyway and never book an appt.

5. I ask the questions here I can’t very well book an appt with no screening info. It says I screen on my ads, WTF?

So, in conclusion, I don’t post a phone number anymore. Its email only and I do give a private number out to those visiting me so they can call when they arrive. Its the first time inquiries that I don’t use the phone for.

One of my favorite places to visit if not THE favorite place to visit is New York City. I go for work and play. Oh, the plays! I have to see at least 2 shows every time I go. Without the theater, its a wasted trip to me. I fly out on Monday and there for the week,woohoo!

I’m bring some rope with me to practice some ties. I have a ton of requests for bondage so I want to brush up on my techniques and quick ties and unties. Who will I practice on? Well, myself and willing volunteers of course!

Other than the bondage and BDSM, there will be plenty of time for dinners, shopping and encounters on the softer side:) I have a few new dresses that I’m excited to bring with me and some great shoes! I’m going to be shooting more content for my upcoming fetish sites so I’m bring the stockings and heels for this trip. I may have to pay extra for the bag but its worth it!

I shot this one outside on my patio. It was really hot that day, like about 110 degrees. I was having so much fun that before I knew it, I was out there for 2 hours clicking away!

I think this is one of my favorite photo sets.

I missed blogging and thought this was interesting and amusing. I had to share! Did you miss it?

So my mom received an email today. Yes, my mom did, not me. It explained that her daughter(me) was an escort and even had a link not only to my escort website but to my paysite as well! Oh the drama!

Her response: “No shit Sherlock!”

I thought this response was priceless. When she told me about it, I started laughing but then I stopped and thought about how lucky I am. I don’t have to lie to my family or hide what I do. They know I’m a freak, escort, pornstar, whore, or whatever. They still love me anyway. I’m extremely fortunate to have people in my life that love me without conditions. t doesn’t mean I don’t value the decreet nature of this business. I see their lives outside out little bubbles of fun as none of my business anyway. I don’t have time for all of that mess. I just want to have a great time too, then go home, hug my dogs, watch CSI or Dexter, then drift off to sleep.

I then thought about the escorts I know that were outed and it was a very bad thing for them. I feel awful for them and would never wish “being outed” on anyone, no matter how catty I felt toward them. When it happens, I’m a bit pissy about the lack of respect they are being shown after countless encounters and keeping their own mouths shut.

What is “Being Outed”

It means that some lamer decided to reveal to friends, family, work, or whoever a person was trying to keep being in the industry “quiet” that they are in fact, in the adult industry. The secrets out, cats out of the bag, and sometimes it ruins lives.

So, I have to say in closing to this blog entry to the lamer that tried to out me. I’ve been out for quite some time, like the very beginning, lol!

The month is half over already and I still have pics:) I’ll be posting a daily pic until the end of the month!

Sarah Blake, topless in Dallas…

As much as I like to have a serene look, its always great to smile too:)

Pink is one of my favorite colors when it comes to photography. It looks great with my skin and sets off my brown eyes well. I should buy more pink panties…

Yet, another pic from Dallas. I told ya that I had a lot of these. There’s just a few more. See the portfolio for more!

Here’s another pic I took while I was in Dallas. I think I took more than I needed:) Oh well, its still fun!

I have seen many escort photos that don’t show their face and thought many were elegant. Well, this is a butt shot but I like it. If I took shots without showing my face, they would be like this one.

This is another pic that I took in Dallas. I do read a lot and yes when I travel, I read either nude or in just panties. See…nerds are sexy!

What is it like to be a porn star? Or maybe I should say adult entertainer since I don’t just work on film. I delved into many different factions of the business.

I get asked this a lot and I have to laugh at myself. I forget that its not normal to pose naked to have sex on camera. Its been my world for the last 5 or 6 years so its become a part of my life that is well, normal.

I have always been a hamb and wanted everyone to take my picture. The whole reason I got into the adult industry was to see myself in print. I wanted my picture taken. Well, I got my wish:)

Here’s some different things I have to consider that many other people may not:

1. Personal grooming takes on a whole new meaning, and takes up a lot of my time.
2. I watch what I eat before a scene so I don’t have to burp or have garlic breath. No amount of breath mints will help you if you have some onions or garlic.
3. I don’t each much before shooting so I’m not bloated, puffy, and tired. Since I love food I have to eat light before then pig out after,lol
3. I can’t brush my teeth before a scene due to micro tears in my mouth and that can increase my risk of getting an STD.
4. I have a favorite brand of condom, and a back-up brand that is non-latex for working with those who are allergic.
5. Since I work naked most of the time, I have to try not to be a klutz so I don’t get bumps and bruises.
6. I have an entire wardrobe that I will never wear outside of shooting. Its like another person lives with me. I have way more panties than anyone should have. I swear, there are bins of them in my closet.

Some people seem to think porn stars are some kind of sad alien, incapable of relationships, poor abused souls that are leading a life of debauchery. I know a large number of women in my industry and most are either married or have someone in their lives. Some choose not to for personal reasons or like me, don’t have time or patience,lol. Most of us are very loved by family and friends. We aren’t aliens. We are just like you(gasp!)

Its an odd job that is not socially acceptable but I think I like that too. I don’t need to fit in or be in the little clicks to survive. Even though I’m a Leo, I really enjoy being anti-social.

Being a pornstar is a lot like any job in entertainment, except that I work naked, and I love it. Not many people can say they love what they do. I can. I’m one of the lucky ones.

Its also a job where some people judge you on a daily basis, your body, your choices, your hair color, any changes you make in your life, career, or personal life, people have a comment for you. To be an adult entertainer you have to develop a very think skin. You have to not care what people think most of the time. Some people are going to be negative toward you no matter how much you try to please. This job is not about pleasing everyone, and if you get into that trap, you will get sucked down and ground up. I do what I want, when I want and I don’t care what “they” think. If I cared what everyone thought about my choices, I’d still be in Indiana, probably have a bunch of rugrats, and unhappily married. bleh.

And then some people will try to “save” you from yout awful choice to be a pornstar. This one really makes me wonder-do they wake up and say,”I’m going to save that poor, poor girl from that world” before or after they jerk off to the video or website they found her on? Sorry, I’m a little cynical and hypocrites bother me.

All in all, its a great life. I can take care of my family, work when I want to, with who I want to. Sure, there are negative aspects but most of them don’t even come close to me. I made it that way, because I am my own boss and don’t get involved with all the negative crap.

Do I feel bad because hundreds of people know what I look like naked? No what’s to feel bad about? I really don’t think about it, but when I do, its pretty cool to me. Its work. I do my job, I have fun, I get paid, I go home to live my life like anyone else.

If you really want to know what goes on day to day in my life as a porn star and what it was like for me in the beginning, see my paysite. There is a blog that dates back to 2003.

I decided to post a daily pic because:

1. I want to show off my photography
2. I have a ton of work to do and can’t blog as much
3. Pics are great and everyone enjoys them
4. you’ll come back tomorrow to see the next one right? I thought so, hehehe…

Don’t worry, these will all end up in the portfolio for your viewing pleasure too!

I love to pose for photographers but sometimes I really capture a great shot myself. I shot some naughty photos yesterday for my paysite and here is one of the pics.

I should have this photoset edited and uploaded today:)

I’ll be in LA next week and once again. I’m so excited! I’m bringing my pups with me this time and have so much planned. I’m going to paint my condo and buy more furniture. Its really time for me to stop thinking that I’m going to not use that place. It needs spiffing up and I’m done putting it off. When I moved to Las Vegas, I really didn’t think I was going to use it and I didn’t have the time to do much with it. Its been lightly(at best) furnished for over a year.

I rented a hotel for a photoshoot and for incall next week so no one has to smell paint. I might still have some paint on me though, lol. I may have to get some of that orange stuff that takes paint off really well. I’m a messy painter:)

I’m excited about the photoshoots because I’m having my favorite photographer shoot me! Inez Lewis is fantastic and I always have a great time while shooting with her. We are going to shoot in a loft and in my hotel room. I’m bringing stockings and pearls since I didn’t shoot that in Dallas and it must be done!

So, I’ll be in LA from the 13th-17th, seeing clients, painting, walking the dogs, re-arranging furniture, and I still have some of my evenings to relax and see more clients if I’m feeling frisky. Damn, life is good:)

I think about 90% of my clients have never seen any of my work outside of my pictures in ads and on my website. It usually comes up within the first 5 minutes. They tell me they are sorry but they have never really seen anything I’ve been in or done. It amazes me that many think its going to insult me or that I am expecting them to rattle off countless websites that I have been on or why they liked whatever movie it was. It doesn’t bother me at all, in fact its great to spend time with someone who is just attracted to me and wanted to see me.

Alternatively, some become fans after they spend time with me. They are a little startled by some of the projects I have been involved with, lol. I have gotten a few email saying “Is this you???” with a link to some bondage or BDSM website. It always makes me smile as I answer that yes, I have a bit of a kinky side:)

Another very interesting thing that I have found is that most escort clients don’t watch porn, most porn fans don’t see escorts, most strip club patrons don’t watch porn or see escorts, and all visa versa. I know because I have asked them:) They have thier own niche that they enjoy and the other generally doesn’t do it for them. The different clients or patrons like different things and have different needs from their adult entertainment.

So, when someone says that they are not a fan, I’m never offended.

We have all seen them. Some hottie that reminds you of a pornstar, the photography is the cheesy lighting and wow she looks great. It looks like Nancy! Wow, and she must if lowered her rates because the ad says…

Ok, many agencies buy pictures form content producers for their ads. These girls aren’t really available and if they are, its not through that agency and not for that low price. Its a bait and switch. Meaning they have baited you with one photo so you will call or email but the girl who shows up is not the girl in the picture. They hope that you will just see her anyway because she went through the trouble to come to you.

I have seen my pics stolen or purchased for this use and since I became an escort its slowed down quite a bit but it still happens. Unless I post it on my website that I’m going to a certain city, I’m not there. Sorry!

How do I know this happens? I get emails about an ad here or there where someone is notifying me of someone using my pics. I have worked for a few content providers and they sell pics. Had I known this before, I wouldn’t have worked for those companies just to avoid the confusion.

As you can see I have changed the look of this website and it now closely resembles my paysite. I was tired of all the black and I couldn’t do some of the things I wanted to with the blog. I couldn’t submit it to directories or network with other blogs since I didn’t have a darn sidebar. The old theme didn’t allow for it so I figured it was time for yet another overhaul. I think it has a lighter feel to it. Its happier-like me!

I will change the header over to some newer pics and will be adding pics to the gallery either this weekend or early this week. I shot some great pics in Dallas. Here’s one that I really love:

I’m also shooting a ton of naughty content for my paysite next week. I’ll post a few pics here and maybe some teaser videos too:)

Yeah it may look artsy, but its still porn. I know it when I see it:)
