2024 Recap

January:

The year started with a duo session where I was a unicorn. I love a no pressure environment where I'm brought in to please everyone! Especially when their provider-client relationship is solid, it's super fun. Thankfully my friends and I are very generous with sharing people we like ;)

I attended a couple of parties this month; one fetish party, my last for the year, and one sex party, a short-lived experience. The year before was packed with these types of events but my attendance has fizzled, for many reasons, this year. Parties really helped me grow into my sexuality, which ironically has grown back out of them.

What I did gain from those events was a network of individuals I greatly enjoy being friends with. Through some of them I experienced a sound bath enhanced by audio of one couple's sexual connection. We spent sundown to sunrise on a journey of release and renewal and it was divine.

February:

Lots of massages, looking back it was more than any other month! I did nuru massage for a private party and was set up in full view of everyone. It definitely got things started and I liked attending a sex party as a provider instead of guest. I did have one girlfriend booking, for a threesome, it was super fun since we were all switches!

I supported two sex-ed content shoots. One as a model, I received impact to accompany an educational video for how to use bdsm toys. Another as a production assistant to a VR headset on how to squirt! I'm grateful every day to be so connected to a sex positive community. Like when a friend's event became an unexpected orgy, delightful.

I began and ended the month with a movie: Poor Things and The Taste of Things, both heartbreaking in so many ways. I saw Poor Things with some sex worker friends and I love it so much I now own it and have seen it three times. The Taste of Things was after my regular STD panel, I like to treat myself afterwards, and I was balling like a baby. In fact, I will be purchasing this as well.

March:

Lots of outcalls this month, I love my incall space (and am planning on getting my own next year!) but I always enjoy meeting a client at their home or hotel. It's very relaxing to not have to host or clean up. Plus the rooms usually have a killer view and I get to feed my inner exhibitionist and really let loose!

There was so much changing this month for me personally - I moved and completed a ten day fast, it was kind of perfect timing too, because moving food is annoying. It looks like next year will bring another move, though I did like this place. It was the first time in over four years that I've had more than one room, sometimes less, to occupy.

Before I started traveling in 2021 I sold all my things, since moving back to NYC I had only accumulated enough to fill my very small room. My roommate similarly did not have much stuff. I spent a big portion of this month securing things from FB Marketplace, which mostly meant trekking to the outreaches of each borough and securing some pretty sweet deals actually.

I spent a significant amount of time recovering in bathhouses and getting body work. Moving, fasting, and working all in one month was a lot on my body. I also saw Thievery Corporation, who I've liked for a long time. The show was a bit lackluster for me but their music continues to be a favorite while cooking. I actually was introduced to them back in my days as a sous chef. If they had a prep station set up at the venue I could have really vibed out!

April:

I had a semi-impromptu tour in Austin, it started as a trip to see the eclipse and visit friends, and I extended it for a bit of work. Austin was home for many years before NYC and in a lot of ways where I consider "home". It was so nice to catch up with friends, some of whom I've known for over a decade. It was nerve wracking to share the details of work but barely a lash was batted. One even said, "that checks out." which was very affirming. My therapist also confirmed this was the only job I've never complained about, a true calling.

Back in NYC I went to a naked dinner experience. It was interesting but not something I'm dying to repeat, it felt very much like a beginner's event. And on 4/20 I got to attend an event with some other wonderful sex workers. I really enjoy being able to network in person and am ever grateful to friends who put on these events.

It was also time for a fresh STD panel which meant movie time! This month I saw a special showing of Moulin Rouge!, one of my absolute favorites. I love the costumes, stories, music, and spectacle of it all. It was one of the first "adult" movies I was allowed to see in theaters as an adolescent and will always hold a special place in my heart.

May:

An absolute gem of a client booked me for an overnight to the Liberty Suite at the Standard Hotel. We always have a great time together and this was no exception! I invited a photographer friend over the next day for a quick photo shoot before check out and got a lot of the shots you see on my ads and socials. I also had my first FMTY experience, someone missed me while I was in Austin and made a point to bring me back this month for a weekend. It's also when I learned that I really do need my own room/bed to sleep in, even better if it has a sound machine!

I went to a screening of HUMP!, a movie festival I've been following for the past ten years. They have an on demand library which is one of my favorite things to screen during a session, it's porn re-imagined - very artistic and inclusive. I also saw Challengers, after seeing all the hype on socials I was influenced. I now also own this media and have seen it multiple times. Zendaya is phenomenal and I love the score, the cinematography, and the plot twists.

Sleep No More was slated to close this month, I actually don't know if it has yet? It hasn't, new close date Jan. 5, 2025 - if you haven't gone try to check it out, I got into a secret side room and still have chills thinking about it, in a good way! Another experience was a friend's piano recital, which transformed into a whole variety show because all the attendees were also very talented.

In admin news I got my TSA pre-check updated and upgraded my phone plan. I think next year I'll switch to Global Entry. The phone plan upgrade came right in time because next month I'll need a new phone number, though I didn't know it yet. I tend to do things preemptively without really knowing why and it has never failed me, I just trust the process. Like when my dear friends came to visit on the same weekend I was attending a rave that I had extra tickets for. We spent the whole weekend dancing, eating, and shopping around the city.

June:

My birthday month! This month always brings about changes, I consider it my "new year" and plan my goals from here. Upon reflection, last year to this one is crazy different in such a good way! This year I celebrated with lots of experiences. I attended a sensory workshop and learned a lot about my favorite forms of touch. I like opposites - extra deep and feather light, especially when they're blended well, pure bliss. Pride was a bit overwhelming for me this year, so I was happy to have tools from the workshop to help me through some of the sensory overload.

I attended two sounds baths. One was an experience I've been wanting to go to since last year, generously gifted by a dear client. Held in a church in Brooklyn it comprised of a 12 person chorus and 4 musicians playing a variety of instruments like sound bowls, rain sticks, tuning, forks, gongs, and chimes. It was a truly immersive journey I'd love to attend again and again, I wish they had more! The other was with the same group from January, but this time we partied the ceremony with mushrooms hand picked from the Andes mountains. It was another very special event.

Several clients gave me presents, all of which were extremely heartfelt and unique to me. A plant that has thrived, a figurine which sits above my mantle, some art prints that now hang on my walls, and lots of lingerie that has seen lots of action since. I don't often pander for gifts, but when I receive them they are cherished.

I also had my bimonthly testing and movie, this month I saw Inside Out 2. I've owned the first movie for years and I don't know how many times I've seen it. I also went to a Sumo wrestling tournament, SO FUN! And informative, it spurred a little fixation on Japan (now I'll be going in the spring!!). The way they train is intense, I don't think I would make the cut!

July:

My body is always energized this time of year and I was trying out gyms in the months prior (again just doing stuff and it's useful later, lol). I landed on one and joined, immediately going a lot. Then the beach was calling me so I went to Coney Island, Long Island, and the Rockaways. All the activity did catch up to me though my back suffered and I needed a lot of recovery work as a result. Thankfully my friends know massage and I was better in no time.

I made a point this year to stay in the city and really enjoy it in the summer. I went to movies in the park, picnics, art shows, museums, and so many restaurants. It was really fun and made me fall in love with the city, again. It was nice going to places while everyone was away and getting a totally different experience, kind of what I get when I travel during shoulder season to another major city.

This is about the time I started to reflect on my rates and booking requirements. I noticed that the majority of sessions were being tipped and that I prefer to have more time to connect with everyone I meet. So I made some updates and received excellent feedback. My offerings continued to evolve and eventually I came up with what I have now, which you can read all about in my blog post: Offerings Explained.

August:

My new time minimums meant lots of longer sessions this month, which feels very fitting for summer. I had some lovely dinner dates and a few off Broadway shows. I attended another sex party, this was the one that confirmed I'm not interested in going to them anymore. My guest was very enamored with the environment which made it all the more clear that I wasn't.

I did testing this month, but not a movie, instead I went to karaoke with some other people in the industry. We had so much fun singing the night away, all sponsored by someone's generous client <3. I am not a singer by any means, but that doesn't stop me from belting out my favorite tunes in a private karaoke room!

My friend had a birthday and we spent the day at the spa and the night doing collage crafts. I love collecting materials for collage like magazines, books, newspapers, flyers, etc. and had a lovely client gift me a bundle he'd been saving back in June. We used that and some other materials to make vision boards while we listened to music.

I also got to go on a group trip to Long Island for beach camping. We had a fantastic weekend of swimming, playing games, talking, taking moonlight walks on the beach, and grilling up meals. It was incredibly refreshing and reminiscent of my childhood, spending long summer nights strolling in the sand.

September:

I took personal time this month and went on a trip I've had on my mind for a long time, Turkey! I went for 10 days and completely unplugged. It was so revitalizing and I'll definitely be giving myself more personal vacations in the future. I spent time in the three largest cities eating tons of delicious food, touring the historic monuments, and soaking in the culture. I would love to go back, their hospitality is unmatched.

Back in the city I saw HUMP! pt.2 and it was so good! I was inspired to purchase a couple of previous screenings on demand and shared them with my friends and a couple of clients. I still remember one of the first screenings I saw that had people fucking while skydiving, very impressive, very sexy.

I went to the Governor's Island Spa to celebrate a friend's birthday and met lots of new people. We spent the whole day going between pools, saunas, and naps, somehow I missed a whole floor of activities, so I'll need to go back again. It would be great for a date, I've always wanted to have a little naughty play in a steam room ;p

I still managed to see several clients, though this time of year always tends to be slow. Thankfully I'm a saver by nature and am prepared no matter what. Thinking ahead to next year this would be the perfect month for a FMTY experience!

October:

Another testing month with no movie, though I was strongly called to go while on my first Boston tour, but no time to spare. I had the most girlfriend sessions in a single month in October, coincidence? Boston was really fun and I'll definitely be back! I have a whole blog about my weekend here. I'll probably make a little travel series as I build up my touring agendas.

Speaking of building up, I published this website and incorporated. Big steps for me as someone who never aspired to be a business owner. It's just as much work as I imagined it would be and this is the most rewarding work I could be doing it for. Right on time too, since October wasn't most profitable month to date!

To keep balanced, this month was very body focused. I started a self-defense training course and received body sculpting treatments. I practiced martial arts as a kid, and when I was in Thailand a couple years ago I did Muay Thai every weekend. I also have a decades long yoga practice and dabbling in Tai Chi over the years. The self defense course was a practical addition to my arsenal of body education.

November:

The movie was deferred to this month and it was Anora. So controversial. I would say the plot sucked, but I didn't go into it thinking this was finally going to be the time a movie about a sex worker would actually have depth. I set my expectations pretty low. The main character? Flawless. She executed that role so well. The soundtrack? Impeccable. I added it the moment the movie ended.

My friend had a showcase to debut an album. I went and saw lots of people I haven't seen in awhile and they said I am like a comet. I come around once in a while and brighten things up then I'm gone before you know it. That's someone I love about this work, I get to have deep and intimate connections with alone time in between.

I continued with self defense this month, plus treated myself to some shopping and a facial. I get my hair and nails done every month, but I like to get a facial every two to three. I don't like to wear much makeup and they help keep me looking fresh day to day. I also got a much needed massage thanks to a wonderful client. Lots of sessions this month, a few new to me but mostly regulars. I've really appreciated all the people who entrust me to deliver a quality experience again and again.

December:

What a month! A friend was in town and treated me to a showing of Burlesque Nutcracker, it was exceptional and I now must go every year. The next weekend I was invited upstate for a friend's birthday. We arrived to a fresh blanket of snow waiting to greet us. The weekend was spent soaking in the hot tub, walking through the woods, and building some truly great fires. Everyone brought an activity to share - a dance pole, paints & canvases, instruments, and board games. I wasn't ready to leave.

Unfortunately I had to come back, because I needed hand surgery. The aforementioned Nutcracker performance resulted in a large cyst on my left palm. After a week it was clear that it was not going anywhere. I found a hand surgeon and booked the appointment right away. I had to reschedule some things, but my duo with Marina Moonlight was not one of them! I invited her to join myself and a long time client who was celebrating a new chapter. We spent hours together having the most delectable and devious experiences imaginable. I'll have this one on my mind for a long time to come!

My hand was unleashed from it's brace just in time for my trip to LA, which will include a new tattoo and photoshoot in addition to several pre-planned sessions. I'll need a couple months of PT for my hand before I regain full use, but I'm optimistic that I will see a full recovery. I'm mostly working on recovering my grip strength, if you think that's something you could help with?

Looking ahead I have so many fun things planned, and I'm eager to grow my existing relationships and make some new ones!

I'll be back in NYC mid-Jan and on the hunt for a new residence, and hopefully moving before spring. Because then I'll be in Japan! Be sure to plan ahead if you want to see me in those first couple of months, I already have confirmations into Feb and will be limited on availability while moving.

I'll be back from vacation mid-April and don't have solid plans after that. I'd like to tour a few places; I'd like to check out more of New England, and get down to other cities in the Northwest. I'll have to come back to Cali and tour the coast, this might be 2 or 3 tours throughout the year. My birthday is in June and I would love to take a trip somewhere idyllic. Throughout the year I want to continue to prioritize my health, attend some creative workshops, and enjoy good food, arts, and culture wherever I am.

A business goal I have set is to obtain my own incall space. I have my eye on Midtown and I'd like a 2 bedroom so I can host overnight and multi-day dates. I want a place I can outfit with all my things, I love the space I use now, but it's pretty minimal. I want to create a true escape, equal parts cozy and seductive. Massage table, sturdy bed, comfy couch, projector, board games, pole, arts & crafts, etc. Like you got invited to the best sleep over <3
