Another webcam outfit, with some pretty great suspenders that you can’t see, and new lipstick. I’ll have to upload the rest to my private gallery soon :).

(This one came in before I answered the previous one.)

Yes darling; I wouldn’t miss the Famous Politicians’ Annual Naked Jelly Fight and Disco Foam Party. That’s what I pay my taxes for!

Ask me anything

I don’t regret it at all (by the way it’s just the default and I couldn’t think of anything better). I said ask; I never promised an answer!

There’s lots of things I wouldn’t answer. “What’s your home address?” “What was your last client’s name?” I probably wouldn’t bother with “do u like big black cocks?”

People have been well-behaved though, so I’ve answered all the questions which have come in so far (expect for the ones I haven’t got to yet).

Ask me anything

Some of my friends have regular sex. That doesn’t really affect my life, though.

My private life is a series of BBC4 documentaries, cakes, dancing, cycling to Henfield, and tea.

Ask me anything

I like foot fetishists, but I’ve only had two or three in my career, which is a bit sad but not that surprising given the lack of pictures. So, there’s some pictures of my feet! I hope you like them. Click to see the gallery.

For the rest of you, there’s a little update to my performance gallery. I changed the last picture to one from last summer. I got a lot of tips that evening and I wasn’t even dancing!

I took this as a test shot while I was setting up my camera to take some shots on the timer, but I expect some of you pervs are into this sort of thing.

As with the perfect night out, this isn’t how I think. I don’t even have a mental list of places to visit. I like to experience other places rather than hang out at some beach full of British people, but other than that I’d rather let someone else have the ideas!

Ask me anything

Er well, I guess it’s a sex one. My first threesome.

I’d just turned 20 and had a new sort-of-boyfriend (we went on to have a long-term casual relationship and 2.5 years in we admitted that we were a couple). I went to visit him in Manchester and things were great, but there was an awkwardness with one of his housemates, who he’d been sleeping with for a bit. There was no commitment there either, but we were all in the house, he was focusing on me since I was visiting, and we were all rather young. Looking back I’m surprised it wasn’t much more awkward. Anyway, after a week we resolved the tension by watching David Bowie and all getting in bed together. I’d never been with a girl before but really really wanted to. She’d never considered it but was convinced, and of course he was super-smug. We spent hours of each day with big grins all the time until he had to go off somewhere. I moved into her room then and stayed for a few more days. Apparently it really confused the other housemates.

Ask me anything

Oops. Very remiss. I didn’t get a post up before I left the house on Thursday, didn’t get back until Friday, and didn’t sort out anything at all over the weekend.

Oh well, maybe this’ll brighten up your Monday. I took some pictures in one of my webcam outfits, and since yo waited so long you can have three of them. (Sorry about my room; I have too much stuff.)

See it come off in my private gallery :).

Oh, and if you’d like the live version this lunchtime, I’m going to be available for DirectCam and Skype shows from 12:30 to 14:30 today!

I’ve uploaded a movie clip on adultwork. It’s a bit later on from the same recording as the last one, and like that one it’ll disappear once it stops getting more than one view a day, so have a look now! This one’s only 30p.

I’ve also started doing webcam shows again after a break of um, five years. It’s a bit different to when I did it on AW before when it was only pre-booked shows, but DirectCam is going well. At the moment I’m charging £1/minute in group mode or £1.60 in private, or you can pre-book a session on Skype for £1.50 a minute. I’ve done shows with pole dancing, toys, lots of direction or just doing my own thing, and also some sessions that were mostly chatting, so come along and tell me what you’re into. I broadcast sound and I like to do two-way cam in private sessions.

I’m planning to set some regular(ish) hours soon, but in the meantime the next line shows my DirectCam status. (My adultwork profile will also say when I’m available.)

DirectCam status:

If you want to have a show and you’re having trouble catching me online, you can email me about scheduling a pre-booked session.

And finally, I’d like to do a weekly scheduled group show where I pole dance and striptease for half an hour. I’ll give it a try at 50p 60p a minute (I forgot about the minimum price), so I’m sure some of you would want to come along! I don’t know what would be a good day/time to do it though, so if you’re interested please tell me when you’d like it and I’ll see if there’s any consensus.

I normally try to spread my answers out a bit, but with this answered my formspring inbox will be clear for the first time since I set up the account! Thanks for keeping me going with a bunch of good questions. The next one I’m asked is the next one I answer.

Nope, it hadn’t occurred to me to try. I assume that most of my readers are people I don’t know, so I wouldn’t expect to be able to identify the questioners. I have wondered if some people are asking multiple questions, but I’m not good at finding clues.

I always find questions like this difficult. (I had to answer a couple of weeks ago for my singing teacher, who seems very concerned that I might not like a song we’re working on. I’m really not that fussy.)

I don’t think I have a favourite anything in music at the moment. "Rock" still covers a lot of of stuff I like, but "rock" is a very big umbrella, so that doesn’t mean much. I’m also pretty bad at classifying music. How about a list of the artists on my MP3 player instead?

Ok, that was a longer list than I expected. Mostly rock, jazz and pop. Enlightened?

Ask me anything

Ah I see. I read that a bunch of times but never managed to parse it properly.

Gosh, no. I did get close once, but it all imploded pretty quickly because it was a terrible idea. I suppose the chance of me dating a client isn’t really lower than the chance of me dating anyone else, but that’s just because I’m really not interested in getting romantic with anyone.

Ask me anything

(This one might show up again. It’s been a few hours and it hasn’t posted automatically, so I’m doing it manually.)

I think you mean have I ever met someone outside work for a date, and then gone straight to work? Um. I don’t think so. I was seeing someone local early in my career and we spent way too much time together, so I sometimes worked on the same day that I’d spent some time with him, but I wouldn’t call those dates. In the time I’ve been escorting I’ve spent a total of maybe three months dating people who lived less than 200 miles away, and I’ve never been on random dates, so there hasn’t been much opportunity for this to happen. I wouldn’t do it unless it was an afternoon date anyway, because I’d either be busy ’till morning or off home to bed!

Ask me anything

Ear lobes: My mum wouldn’t let me (or my sister) have them pierced until we could be left alone to deal with the aftercare ourselves, and I think the age she set was 13. I went to one of the local jewellers and had them pierced with a gun. I think I looked after them ok, but they still got gunky and while giving them a rest they healed up. I was 14 or 15 when I got them redone, and 15 or 16 when I got another set (I’ve got two earrings in each lobe). All were local jewellers with guns again, which I don’t recommend. Guns are harder on your flesh than needles, and the jewellery that proper piercers use doesn’t trap the gunk like those gold-plated studs do.

Helix (top of the ear): I was 17 and should have known better. My boyfriend was 26 and REALLY should have known better. Anyway, we both wanted a helix piercing, and we were mega cheap, so we decided to each take one of a pair, like my friends used to do at school. We weren’t interested in paying for a proper piercer, but the jewellers with guns were responsible enough to only do lobes. We were on his turf, in Manchester*, so he took me to Affleck’s Palace and we found a hairdresser who also did piercings. She wouldn’t let us split a pair, so we had to pay like a whole fiver each, and that’s why I have two holes there. She was apparently very absent-minded and started prepping me for hair extensions, but I wasn’t deterred. I got pierced, my ear was sore for weeks, and I regretted having them done on the side I like to sleep on. It worked out ok eventually but no, don’t do that!

Nostril: I’d wanted this done since I was 12, when I used to put little star stickers on my nose. My mum thought it was unhygienic and then someone else said they had one and could feel it poking the inside of their nose all the time which sounded annoying, so I went off the idea a bit. But, I was 18, or maybe 19, and I still wanted a thing on my nose. I thought I should just go for it, I could always take it out if there were any problems. I had it done in Punktured in North Laine. It didn’t hurt, but I went pale so the piercer lowered my head, gave me a lolly, and wouldn’t let me leave until I got someone to collect me. It was pretty good care, but I don’t know if she’s still in that shop.

Nipple: 21. I’d been lapdancing for about nine months and one of the other girls had both hers done, which I started to like after playing with them in double dances. It was also topless dancing only, so I was fondling my boobs all the time. I was getting a bit bored, so I got pierced. I went to Perforations, which was the studio that was generally recommended at the time. I don’t remember the name of the guy who did it, but he was the one that didn’t leave the country. It was good; I was sure to sit down in reception for a while afterwards, but I was fine. Once I got up and left I was even better. For an hour or two my nipple was sensitive to the bounce of every step, but not at all uncomfortably, so I just kept walking as long as it lasted.

Hood: Still 21. This one was also partly influenced by the strip club, although I’d left by then. I wasn’t into hood piercings before, but another dancer had one and I started to think it was cute. Plus it’s a functional piercing with some people reporting better and easier orgasms, and I hadn’t had any at the time so I thought it was worth a try. I went back to Perforations, which had become Metaflesh, and the same guy pierced me. I did it without anaesthetic and I screamed, so I was impressed that he got it almost straight. Him being so friendly and chatty was a minor drawback this time though, since we were talking about something and he wasn’t quick to replace the needle with the jewellery. At the time I didn’t realise I was going to feel a lot better once he did! Anyway, it was a nice place but I can’t recommend it because the owner went to new Zealand or something.

*This isn’t the ex in Manchester that some of you know about; he came later and is only two years older than me.

Well I don’t play the lottery, so it would have to be a case of someone who really liked me winning, I suppose. I don’t have any big things I’d like to do apart from buy a house. Maybe I’d try paragliding? I could afford to do it now, but I’m also a big wimp, I just thought maybe I should try to get over it because floating on air currents is such a cool thing to do. It’s a kind of an expensive hobby as well as being scary though, so I doubt I will. If expensive was taken out of the equation it might tip the balance.

One thing I would do is quit work for a bit (don’t know if I’d stop forever), shave my head and let everything else grow. I think I’d look silly bald, but I still want to try it. (Not thinking about hair removal otherwise would just be a nice change.) By the way, I know I could do this stuff while working if I wanted to, but I don’t want to that much, which I expect is a relief for most of you.

Brighton and Hove has the largest concentration of mature elm trees in England, partly because the Downs provided a barrier against Dutch Elm Disease, which British elms are highly susceptible to. The disease has crossed the Downs and is being aggressively controlled. If you see a mature tree being cut down around here it’s probably a sick elm.

The elms have been dropping their seeds for about a week and a half. They’ve mostly been swept off the streets now, but in the first days they cover the ground like autumn leaves and drift more than snow. They float through the air and get whipped along the street and into little spirals by the wind. They have a musical rustle whenever they move, and they get everywhere.
