    Default Companionship- a new kind of escort?

    I'm sure a few members of this forum have seen either the movie Serenity or the series it's based on, Firefly. And those who have will immediately recognize the companion Inara.
    Her job is more or less like courtesans or oiran of the past. She's knowledgable of multiple arts, from sex to singing, dancing to dating. And because of my own unique dating position (or lack thereof), her profession got me to thinking of putting my own spin on the traditional escort with some of my own talents.

    I've never had complaints as a date. As a social chamelion, I can get down and dirty at the bar or put on a sophisticated appearance while sipping martinis. Obvious plus to being an escort.
    I give a fairly good massage if I do say so myself, and have considered doing some kind of training as a massage therapist. Some clients aren't so much looking for a date as looking for some relaxation with a pretty girl, so I think massage would be awesome to offer.
    I may not be as great as girls in the salon, but I give a wonderful manicure and get rave reviews on makeup application, and do a decent job as far as hairstyling and barbering goes. Because of that, I've considered getting certification/licensing as a beautician and esthetician. Ladies like to get as much bang for their beauty buck as they can (it's the luxury vs affordability thing) and I've never heard a man complain about getting a haircut from a pretty girl.
    And I have a pretty good eye for fashion, thanks to a very active imagination and love of never-go-wrong classics. What woman wouldn't like her own stylist/wardrober for a shopping date?

    Overall, I think the concept could be pretty hit or miss. But both has it's bright sides. If it's a hit, I can could turn a good profit and help bring a new form of "escorting" to the mainstream (not saying my idea is totally original- there may be several other escorts who already do these kinds of things- but the more there are, the more notice it gets) If it's a miss, I will still have my certifications, which offer me more work opportunities outside of dancing.

    What do you girls think?
    Exotic dancing is like any other job.
    If you work in an office, you wear dress shoes and a suit.
    If you work in a restaraunt, you wear skid resistant shoes and a uniform.
    If you work in a strip club, you wear 7" stilettos and lycra g-strings.

    Thanks! ^_^

    Why don't we make this even more interesting and posters can add their own ideas of services to offer? I don't see how it could hurt.

    I figured I would add "general time" to the list and keep it open for random things a customer would like to do with me, like having a dinner in a private home or just spending time to talk or whatever.

    Also, had an idea for charging methods. Hourly for dates and shopping, flat rate for specific services, and "by the stick" incense burning (kinda going back to the roots of courtesans and oiran with this one) for massages and general time.

    ^^^ There are a number of salons in Denver that operate for men - including salons where the women all dress in lingerie. They have all made it past the 5 years in business mark... so I'd say men like it.

    I really loved Inara's character. It would be nice if the world really saw companions like that. Maybe if most companions were as highly educated & trained as she was people would think differently?

    I think that Kylea is indeed on to something. We should start our own companion academy! lol

    Interesting enough I was thinking the same thing when I saw firefly a few years back. I love some of the rules they have and I think it would be cool to try when I have more room to work with.

    I've been trying to do this for a little while, but it's not easy when it comes to security and screening, and of course, finding good quality clients, but I agree! We should start our cross-country business

    I met a girl who works in one of those a few places, cutting hair in lingerie in Denver. She says she does better with that than she did when she was dancing, but who knows how well she did dancing. She was cute and bubbly but not gorgeous and brilliant. It's kinda similar to stripping, though, you build up regulars and make a lot of money off tips. She said she supports herself and her three children comfortably doing it.

    I actually have a Cordon Bleu degree (with advanced wine knowledge!). I'm building a personal chef/catering company, but I used to be a dancer and worked as an escort as well. I have a handful of regulars that help cover the bills while the chef thing gets going.

    I would love love love a way to put those skills together in one package that won't get me arrested and will make me a fuck-ton of money at the same time. So far the escort guys could really care less that I can cook and I'm not about to out myself to my cooking clients.

    If anyone has any brilliant ideas, lay them on me.

    What sort of drug are you on?! Do you seriously think I don't know what I'm talking about?

    I watched the entire series, start to finish & the movie. Yes, I know the exact scene you are talking about in the episode called "Shindig".
