New photos and fun Interview with Tracey Cox!
I've had a busy few days. Monday I had promotional photos taken for my agent so she can start finding me work. I was nervous because I'd been to see her the week before and she'd kindly arranged for Pat Wood to give me a fab new hair cut! Yes it really is true I have a different hair style!!! Wow wa woo wah I hear you say - about time ;-) It's still long but it's layered and I have a side parting and fringe. It took some getting used to and I'm still learning about styling it, but now I like it very much. Sooo Monday a photographer came to Nottingham and we did a variety of shots around the city and in a bar. I've just had the photos through and they look fab! I'm really pleased with them.
Yesterday I was with my agent in London for filming I'm doing for a new ITV show called The Other Side, discussing the 7 deadly sins. Of course the one I was involved in was Lust, and I got to meet the well respected sexpert Tracey Cox! We hit it off straight away and I could have spent hours chin wagging with her about her books/magazines and my life as an escort. Unfortunately we were there to work, but it didn't seem like work being interviewed by Tracey it was just like girlie gossip. She's very warm and down to earth and immediately put me at ease.
The second part of the filming will be a debate about whether it's right or wrong for men to pay for sex.
The shows due to be aired in October... watch this space!

Dating sites....
Dating sites... mmm....so far I've found them a waste of time!
You'd think that if people were desperate enough (no insult intended, I'm browsing myself :) to go on them that they'd at least make an effort. It seems not. It's so time consuming browsing page after page of illiterate losers! Apologies if that sounds harsh but it really is unbelievable some of the profiles you find. Let me find an example...
'get bored in home so most of the time i am around the net looking for funny stuff.
would like to chat with other people and have a big laugh in front of the monitor.
if you wanna chat just send a message and i will reply.'
'whomen
I fell lonly and I just need some one to cominiked have a nice time maby we can be good frined in the fitur I all so need some normal friend to have a travel arown the world to see things to know mor'
I mean what on earth are they thinking?
I appreciate that many people find this sort of thing hard but these guys need to swallow their pride and get some help with it if they want any sort of success. Again it's that 'issue' men have with asking for help. The problem is they won't find what they are looking for if they don't sort out their profiles! If I was a guy finding it hard I'd ask a female friend to help me with it. I wonder how many of them are genuinely baffled as to why they haven't had any replies?
I've been looking for a single guy 28-38 with no children looking for dating/long term.
The big no no's for me are...
- unclear photos/sunglasses,hats,blurred and too many posey facial shots taken by the person themselves - arm stretched out. I want to see at least one facial smiling shot, one full body shot and an action shot... either out either the guys, playing a sport etc...
- txt spk - ther's nuthin mor unatrractiv an off puttin! Geez if people can't spell they should get some help or use spell checker. Again if the guys dyslectic (nothing wrong with that) get some help!
- 'don't know what to put here so email me and ask whatever you want to know'. If they can't be bothered to create a well thought out profile, girls with half a brain won't be bothered to contact them. I don't want to have to ask what they are into and waste time on conversation when we have nothing in common.
- 3 lines of text. It's just laziness. Unfortunately there's no filter when you're searching to filter out people who have only written 3 lines.
- 'I have been hurt in the past and I've had some funni dates. I know there's some time wasters and phsyco girls on here so if this is you don't contact me'
Number one, anybody that is mentioning past relationships, shows they are still holding a grudge.
Number two, I lost count of how many times I've seen funny spelt with an i.
Number 3, half decent girls will be put off by the last line hence the only people the ad will attract are the people he doesn't want to attract the bunny boilers!
Maybe I should contact them and offer to sort out their profiles ... for a small fee of course ;-) Lol

A new agent!
I've just signed myself with an agent and she wants to give me a make over on Monday and create a new image for me. I'm very excited but also nervous as I really don't want to change my hair! I'm interested to hear their thoughts though. I feel like my hair is my trademark, and I really like it, but I will try to go with an open mind :-/
They have lots of ideas of what I should do now I am closing down the escorting side of my life, so I'm excited and eager to see what doors will open for me. Watch this space........ XXXX

I had to have a little smile this morning....
...I got up to read my first negative review on Amazon. I almost laughed out loud. Seriously it was sooo ridiculous that it was actually funny!
In some ways Amazon reviews remind me of my escort reviews - they can say more about the person writing them, and certainly this is true with the one I got this morning.
Glamorised my book is not - maybe different to her experiences - yes, but that's all down to how I market myself. We all choose what level of the market we want to be in. My book's definitely a warts and all from being given a pooey towel to dry myself with on a date, to getting a dicky tummy and stinking out someone's bathroom, sex with chimpanzees (...btw no I didn't :), a guy I was with saying he'd killed all his friends and girlie trumps. Ok I picked out some of the grossest/shocking bits to prove a point lol :)
Now I'm all for constructive criticism, and there will be many people who will find that my book is not their cup of tea or that it's not what they expected, however this review's a joke! It screams of someone jealous and bitter. I wonder if they could write a book. Judging by the review, most likely not lol :)
If anyone has read my book and disagrees, if you have the time please do write me a review on Amazon. All helpful positive reviews are very much appreciated :)

Agony Aunt Bea...
In my book (The Girlfriend Experience) one of the things I mention that I'd like to do is be an Agony Aunt, so here’s the start of my agony Aunt advice. I’m going to make do with the blog until I get my own column :) If you don’t mind your email being put on my blog please feel free to email me (b@miss-b.net) with your ‘love and relationship dilemmas’ and I’ll post them on my blog and reply with my advice.
Dear Aunty Bea,
I am three weeks into the process of getting divorced after 17 years of marriage which has been completely dead for several years, and I have no feelings whatsoever for my ex. I would love to do some relaxed and friendly dating, but am aware that I get emotionally attached very easily. I do feel that if I had several casual dates I could get a better handle on things.
Am I being completely unrealistic in wanting to date at this time? Do you have any useful tips for me to enjoy myself and not get too serious? Or should I just allow myself to enjoy falling in love without being obsessive or worrying too much about where it is going, and let things run their natural course? (I fell in love this morning with my HR lady who has the most gorgeous smile, I spent a delightful half an hour talking with her, and leaving it at that is just fine!)
Bill G.
Hi Bill,
First of all - step away from the ladies! Lol :) You’ve been married for 17 years and will have a number of emotions to deal with right now. I imagine that you will be in a very fragile state. You already admitted to yourself that you get emotionally attached very easily, so why put yourself through potentially more heartbreak so soon? My advice would be to take a break.
Personally I think you need to take time to work on yourself before you even think about dating again, so you can get yourself in the right state of mind mentally. You need to be happy and confident with yourself as a person and all other areas of your life - work, friends, home.
I’d concentrate on building up your confidence generally with people. You need to be mingling with both men and women. How about a hobby? I know it sounds cheesy but think it would be good for you to put your energies and enthusiasm into an interest, or a club. What would you enjoy; something extreme? A sailing club? Flying? Skiiing? Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but never had the time for? Photography? Painting? Martial Arts? You need to find something you enjoy and try and put your quest for love on the back burner for a good long while.
This is the area I think you should be building on during a divorce. Not talking about falling in love! That’s just crazy.
Falling in love with the HR lady after talking to her for half an hour is not healthy, and I’d advise you not to say anything to her about it because she’ll run a mile. She was just being friendly and trust me us women get tired of men getting the wrong idea just because we smile and are friendly towards them.
I’m not saying don’t date, but I would take your time, and preferably a long time! For now enjoy the other pleasures life can offer.
Good luck with it all, and I hope the divorce gets sorted quickly without causing you too much stress and upset.
I hope this helps! Lots of love, Bea XXXX
