Hi all,

A brief introduction, my name is Faye James and I am an escort (you can view my website at [removed]. You can view the series website at http://www.EscortsTheSeries.tv.

Escorts is a character-based series set inside the world of mid-to-high-end escorts. It follows their lives and loves, their friendships and rivalries, their passions and problems!  The series will be centered around five or six main characters: strong, beautiful women ? think Sex and the City but with a little more sex and a little less city. And, of course, real.

This is not an expos? or a name-and-shame piece of tabloid journalism. It?s a sexy, stylish, cinematic show designed to capture a world about which many have secretly fantasized.

The production team is headed-up by multi award winning Executive Producer Simon Andreae (lots about him on the site/a quick Google will reveal much more). I am working with Simon and the Escorts team helping to research and access the industry (we really want to create something that is a true, good representation of our world).  I also plan to feature prominently in the series.

We are currently casting for escorts, clients and others involved in the industry

Have a look at the website http://www.EscortsTheSeries.tv and if you are curious or would like to be involved please get in touch!
This is a fabulous opportunity for out, open, happy escorts to build a brand or business within, adjacent to, or outside the industry.  It is also going to be crazy good fun! 


Looking forward to meeting equally vibrant escorts soon (it will be fun ladies) 

Kisses

Faye

My apologies Amy, I realise now I posted this in the wrong forum categories before I got to the media related forum.  Won't happen again, wasn't trying to SPAM the site I promise.

With regards your other points...

I too am a sex worker, not an actor.  We don't anyone to act, we would simply like to hear from escorts that are happy and already 'out' about their work that would like to enage in the project as themselves in a real way.  We do not want to 'out' anyone on national TV or otherwise, promise     

Please have a little look at the site [removed] i hope it goes someway to dispel raised eyebrows... There are FAQs on the site about the earnings/opportunity...
...
My personal site is [removed], really am an escort just like many posting on this site

Thank you

Faye

With regards your first point, yes there is a difference between being out to friends, family and casual acquaintances and choosing to be out about escorting on TV... quick story from my personal perspective...

I was initially very reserved about the idea but agreed to float the idea past a few 'girls', among them adult actresses who also escort.  The couple of girls approached are 100% out as porn stars (appearing in MANY DVDs/websites) but felt they could not possible go on TV as an escort. 

Firstly, absolutely understand the position.

Secondly it got me considering the stigma around escorting, I personally found it upsetting that fun, vibrant women that are often on film, being paid to have sex feel they cannot be open about escorting... and then I had to reconsider my position on the subject... and here I am, looking to find other women that, for their own personal reasons (which will certainly differ from mine), would like to be involved in making something real, something likeable and something representative of the industry (at a certain level ? around independents and empowered working girls).  For those that don't want to be involved - that's, naturally, fine.

With regards your second point - on earnings... Production FAQ as follows:

Q:Will I get paid for being in the show?

A:You will be paid a small fee, representing your loss-of-earnings for the period in which you are being filmed and are therefore unavailable for work.

We are not asking escorts to film for free.  There will be a process of discussion/negotiation and loss of earnings will be covered/rates agreed.

Finally, I have just read your sticky and particularly note the section about concepts that might ?work?. 

We are looking to contact clients and do something from that angle as part of the series. 

Would also like to point out that this is not a production company with a set agenda but a collaborative process. The input of escorts and others, such as SAAF, will do much to determine the format of the series.

It would be great to talk more about things you think could work?

Fayes 'escort' website seems to be constructed in exactly the same format as the one for the 'new, real, TV series' ....I wonder why that is?

Probably because she's not actually an independent and therefore doesn't need a proper independent site, so this one will have been hastily cobbled together (extremely hastily, by the looks of things) for the sole purpose of promoting this TV series. There are links to the third party operations where she can be found, so let's not dwell on it any further - there's only so much free publicity somebody needs, and since it's not really relevant I've removed the link from previous posts.

Not blithely expecting people for whom privacy, discretion and anonymity for themselves, their clients and their nearest and dearest is generally of the utmost importance to perform sex acts for a pittance whilst fully identifiable in some tawdry television programme would work very well for me. Absurd barely scratches the surface.

Not treating perfectly ordinary women doing an extremely mundane and ordinary job like circus animals in order to grab prurient ratings - LOOK!!! Real HIGH CLASS Prostitutes that wear Fancy Lingerie and Shoes to suck off men in hotels!!! - whilst not appearing to have any idea or concerns about the potential repercussions (for their livelihoods, if nothing else) would also be good. This forum is aimed at newbies, a significant number of the members here have not worked in the industry for long, and if you are seriously suggesting that this is a good way to get a long and prosperous career in prostitution off to a flying start, you must have a screw loose.

I don't speak for the forum though obviously, just from the POV of somebody with ten and a half years experience and a fair degree of success, none of it arrived at by parading myself, my clients or (God forbid) my family on television.

No way would I even consider this.
I know I would lose business, my clients rely on discretion, they wouldn't want to be seen with an outed sex worker. (This goes double for "high class" escorts) They have relationships (personal and/or business) that would be destroyed.

I understand you may wish to decrease stigma but the nature of prostitution in most cases requires a certain amount of identity protection to be successful. I would be surprised if you got many genuine sensible applicants. I could be wrong?

You would need to pay a lot for loss of income and career or find a way to protect identity.

You may have to get real life stories from escorts and use actresses. Make it a drama series.

Yep. And escorts who go undisguised on TV are potentially outing every client they have ever had.
