While looking through blogs, what the fuck are people are writing, how are they making a living at this, if anything at all, I came across http://www.peridotash.com.
I have to say, this is the most amazing thing I have ever read: not because I am reading some sort of literally marvel, but because of it’s honesty and vulnerability. It’s a sex worker’s blog, detailing the ups and downs of a ‘sideline’ escort and the clients she services. it is such an engaging story, wuith reoccurring themes and characters, subplots and conflict, hope and disappointment.
I clicked and clicked and read how this woman transformed from a part time escort who made peace with this aspect of herself (no self hate here, only a very keen acceptness and awareness of what it meant and what she was doing) to a professional dominatrix (introduced to her by a client whom she later gives free ‘dates’ for training purposes).
You can chart her progression and awakening, from escort to domme, from diary style journal writing to self referential web presence. Character’s that reoccured in previous posts are now cross linked in later posts. Associative tags emerge as opposed to rigid/static categories.
As she ages in the blog, she entertains being a pro-domme more and more because she is no longer a naïve twenty something year old, she is aging and frankly “I just don’t want to do it anymore.”
