I’m back home in Vegas and just when I get settled in, its time to go to LA! I may be doing a live webcam performance for SarahBlake.com depending on scheduling or I may be back in Las Vegas already.

I’m going to be shooting content there as well as having a fantastic time finishing a few remodeling projects, a magazine shoot, and of course seeing some clients:) Its a short trip and then back home again where I’ll be for awhile.

I canceled my tours for September due to a family issue and I need the time to work on my upcoming websites. Besides the paysite, I need to get that Mistress website going. Its difficult to fit in all the little things while jet setting around around the country, trying to figure out what time zone you are in and if its the same as the tech people you are calling,lol.

I head out to Houston tomorrow. I got so much done in Austin I surprised myself! I’m pretty much on track for the 5 new websites. I’m shooting a bunch of content today and then in Houston, shooting even more content. I’m still adding the other missing photosets and editing video(reediting) for the sarahblake.com members area. I’m tempted to redo all the video but I know I may not have time to do that so I will have to do it a little at a time.

Houston is going to be so much darn fun! I’m going to get that hat.

Sometimes I am so happy and satisfied I disgust myself. I am happier than I ever thought I would be. With so much to look forward to, it’s hard not to be excited all the time, if not a little impatient at times for it all to happen and get here. It feels like the possibilities are endless, and quite literally, they are.
Having this much happiness makes me really appreciate my life and what it could have been like if not for certain events. Things sometimes have to happen the way they do in order for it all to work out.

I‘m not religious but I feel so blessed.

Woohoo, I made it to Austin after a very, very happy birthday week. I’ll be rescheduling the SF trip soon, maybe sooner than I think:)

So I’m downtown, Lord of the Rings is on TV and I have a great bottle Pinot Grigio to keep me company until I get to be naughty tomorrow. I am going to be shooting content for sarahblake.com as well as my other upcoming websites. I have them all mapped out and someone to build/design them for me too. Life is good and just getting better. I’m back on track and more enthusiastic than ever:)

So I tried the blonde, loved it but missed my red. So, I’m going back to the auburn hair soon, not sure when, might be next week. Make sure to check out the gallery since I’ll be posting new pics as soon as I change it!

The red feels more fierce, more flirty, more fiery and I can’t wait!

Being your own boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be but this week, it was. I took the week off for my birthday and had the best time of my life. Since I am the boss, I only answer to me. In preparation for my time off I had to buy a few things, helmet, chaps, bandannas, and riding boots. Leather shopping is so much fun!

I took a bike trip across the US…a little over 2000 miles. I left my computer at home for this first time in years, only check my email every other day and put everything on hold. I didn’t work for 5 days. That is a lot for me. It was a little difficult after the 3rd day. I itched to get on the computer but alas, it wasn’t there so I had no choice but to enjoy myself,lol…

The trip started out in St. Louis and ended at my house in Las Vegas. I didn’t drive but seeing the scenic route from the back of a motorcycle was so amazing. I got a bunch of pictures but not until the 3rd day. I was having so much fun that I forgot I even had a camera with me.

I ended up getting some great shots but the camera doesn’t do the scenery any justice. It made me want to buy a panoramic camera…and a motorcycle. I had almost bought one when I lived in LA. I went to the Harley shop, sat on a few, picked one out and then took some time to think about it. Later the same week, I saw a horrible accident on the 405 freeway and decided not to buy the bike. Now, I want one again and it’s like a fever. It’s fun to ride on the back but I want to drive, control the throttle, feel the motor…maybe that would be a good Christmas present to myself.

I keep seeing this and I have to laugh. Its so cute and reminds me of a series called the Million Dollar Man and there is another one with a woman but I can’t remember the name of it. I’m not a robot but I am a lover of Sci-Fi so it tickled my fancy.

After many posts speculating why, complaining, whining, bitching, and boobie hate mail(LOL) because of the choices I made, I just have one thing to say: FUCK OFF! You sound like a bunch of old biddies!

I turn 28 this coming week, yes 28. That’s right, I’m on the better part of almost 30 now. I’m not 18 and I don’t really give a rat’s ass what people think. I’m me, feisty, daring, shoots from the hip, and doesn’t take any shit…so look out.

I got an email a few weeks ago from someone just plain being an ass. I get these daily, even before I changed my look, but I just let the guy have it. He replied back that I wasn’t the nice person I claimed to be. Well, I never claimed to be nice or a doormat either. I’m not required be pleasant after a sorry attempt to insult me. I don’t understand why people think you have to be nice to them after they act like complete jerks.

So, I didn’t change my look for money, for someone else, to prove anything, or to try to look like everyone else. The hair is an experiment and its fun to change, morph into and change back at a whim, which I will do whenever I feel like it. I wrote a blog all about why I changes but I guess the board whores don’t understand how to read anything but the tattoos on the small of backs. If they really wanted to know, they could read my diary. That would just take considerably too much effort and its much more fun to make things up and speak of the downfall I am possibly taking. Some people have way too much time on their hands.

Well, I decided that instead of working the week of my birthday, I would do something for myself. Take a damn vacation! I haven’t really taken a vacation is a very long long time. Sure, I’ve taken a few days here and there but nothing like the week I am taking next week. I’m sorry to cancel my travel to San Fransisco but this is a chance at something so wonderful I would cancel anything to do it. Again, doing something for myself. I’m getting pretty good at that lately.

What am I talking about? Where am I going? Well, that’s a secret and just for me. I’ll tell you about it when I get back. Its going to be amazing!!!

Life can be complicated and so can relationships. Fortunately, there is an uncomplicated way to have the intimacy of a relationship without the complications that come with it. Seeing an escort is a very simple way to fill a need without having a half dozen of the problems that come with getting involved in a relationship.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there is a relationship between the client and escort, its just defined under terms agreed upon by both parties when they decide to meet. Its defined that there will be no great love affair, or dating to see if you are both compatible for marriage(although some don’t get that) since you only really are going to see the lady for an hour up to a few days. You aren’t going to marry her, be her boyfriend, or her best friend. Its a fling, a casual encounter, moments in bliss, but keep things in perspective.

There seems to be a common misconception that escorts are single and available to date outside of the parameters of the escort arrangement. Many are not. Many have an SO(significant other), a boyfriend, girlfriend, fiance, or spouse already. Its no one’s business just like your personal life if your business. Others still are just not interested in becoming involved, or want a boyfriend. She might really like you,l but she doesn’t want any more than the escort/client agreement, no matter how much you “Click” or “meld” or have in common. Most times the suggestion of dating or seeing a client outside of an arrangement will just make her uncomfortable and out her in a bad spot. She doesn’t want to hurt your feelings or lead you on but its not what she wants. There are many clients I have not seen again due to this.

Sooner or later all escorts encounter clients that don’t seem to understand that we do this for a living, while we adore our clients, we don’t love them. We may consider you friends once a trust is earned but many also have families and other obligations.

Being with an escort is like living in a small bubble of time. In this bubble, the escort molds a fantasy for you and that’s what it is, a fantasy. Reality and fantasy are 2 different things. She may be poised, pliant and submissive when you see her, she’s the perfect girlfriend. Well, of course she is! (For the amount of time specified)

In the end we all must part. A brief not here or there can be great but daily emails can seem a little strange, 4-5 emails a day? OK, now its time to put it in perspective. The biggest compliment you can give an escort is not to write her love notes, just see her again and tell her how much you enjoy her company.

The new store is live! Woohoo! You can now purchase many items and there are many more to be listed that I should have up in the next week.

You can now purchase DVD’s, 8×10’s, Custom DVD’s, Webcam shows, and memorabilia-outfits from my shoots including panties! I have so many things from shooting over the years and great places to new item like bikinis and lingerie so that I can offer them to the ladies out there.

Upcoming items to be listed soon:

More panties, stockings, socks and nylons from my shoots
New clothing and lingerie including panties, bikinis, lingerie, dresses, and more!
Shoes!
DVD’s that I have been in and a few that I haven’t
Signed Magazines I have been in

http://www.sarahblakestore.com

The design is done and almost everything is ready…except for my part. I have to get all the products loaded up with pics and descriptions, write the store FAQ, and create an offline form so that customers print it and then can fax, email, or mail me an order.

I will have tons of memorabilia from the shoots I have done over the years, DVD’s(my own as well as others I’ve been in, custom DVD’s private webcam shows,PPV items, Phone fun and too much to name.

I am so happy that I will have new items available for girls and not just porn and items for the guys. Sorry guys, its not all about you this time. I will have clothing, lingerie, stockings,accessories, adult toys just to name a few things.

If you are a DZ411 member I am going to run some special discounts just for ya’ll

I head out to Chicago on Sunday and I’m really looking forward to it. I haven’t been there since February and it was snowing then! I’m not talking about little flakes wither they were the big honkin’ kind, yes I said honkin’ because there is no other way to describe them other than saying that they reminded me of little fluffy clouds falling from the sky.

Anyway, its not going to be snowing there in August. I’m planning on seeing the Aquarium there and exploring the city a little more than I did before. I’ll still be shooting content and having a great time with myself,lol, but I’ll be out more since I won’t be in ass-deep snow.

Screening

Screening one’s clients is the first line of defense against scams, LE, violence and many other undesirables. Although it can be unnerving to clients it is, unfortunately, a necessity. Without it, many more of us would simply disappear, be robbed, raped, or be victims of other violent crimes. Women are 10 times more likely to be victims of a violent crime. The reasoning behind screening is very serious and as much as clients will poo-poo the idea, without screening info, I don’t see anyone and recommend that no other escort sees clients without it either.

If you are a client and you don’t think you should be screened then you should ask that mother of 3 in Colorado how that works out for her…oh wait, she disappeared and has never been found.

One of my best resources for screening tools, help, advice, camaraderie, and the most comprehensive blacklist out there is www.dangerzone411.com
Dangerzone 411 is a community of escorts(over 3000 of them) that have come together to help keep each other safe.

If you are an escort: Sign up Here!

Along with screening, there are other safety tips that not only escorts should be aware of but all women.

I get asked this a few times a week. Yes, I do have female clients. They are strong, powerful women, the curious, the bisexual, sometimes the lesbian. The female clients see me for many of the same reasons that my male clients do.

They want companionship without the hassle of a relationship. They want a little no strings attached fun. I love it because I am bisexual. They get companionship, and I get my girl fix. I don’t prefer female clients over my male clients just like I don’t prefer men or women in my personal life. It all really depends on the person and their personality.

Many of the women I see have the traditional role you would normally see a man in. They have high-powered jobs, they are the bosses, the bread winners. Many want someone they don’t have to compete with or prove anything to and can just be themselves with for a few hours or so. They want to relax and enjoy themselves just like my male clients.

I tend to let them take more of the lead then my male clients. Most are comfortable in that role and if they aren’t we usually discuss that in advance so there is no misunderstanding of what her needs are. Some want to explore their submissive side and others their dominant side. My female clients get to see my submissive side while my male clients see the dominant side.

The women are a wonderful treat!

Sometimes its hard to find the words, to explain how things are, or how I feel about this business. Luckily, there are smart women out there that are more articulate, blunt, and really get the point across without being nasty. I admire those women and hope to learn how to do that one day.

Here’s one-Julia Of Atlanta

There have been more blogs relating to these very issues because of a certain confusion going on. Escorts are paid companions, but when the time is up, we go away…because we are paid too. Its really not all that complicated, as Lady Julia says.

When I’m not traveling, I’m home in Las Vegas, relaxing by my pool or glued to my computer(mostly glued to my computer) editing photos and videos, writing, blogging, making dumb comments on someone else’s blog. I have many websites to work on so I keep pretty busy when I’m traveling and when I’m not.

If you have come to see the Daily pics they are now being posted in the Portfolio

There will still be a daily photo, I’m just not posting it in the blog but instead going back to writing now that I have more time to devote to it:)

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

Check out her website at http://ilsensual.com/

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!
