Escort Reports

[QUOTE=JmSuttr;5094532]Don't have any info on the Black Italian but I'm pretty sure Elizabeth is the same provider I've seen under the name Renata. She has a place in DC but (at least pre-COVID) would occasionally visit Tysons and would sometimes bring a Latina friend. She might have reviews under that name and you might also check the DC forum.

The pics are genuine but they're a few years out of date. When I saw her she was an attractive MILF but I'd estimate her age as mid-to-late 40's. Not a problem for me as I'm older and enjoy mature providers. She was pretty much GFE as BBBJ / DATY / DFK were on the menu but don't bother to schedule for an hour as it's unlikely the session will last that long. It's not that she overtly rushes but she's high energy and things just seem to move quickly and it's hard to get her to slow down. I enjoyed the session and would repeat, but only for a half-hour.

Good luck and, if you take the plunge, make sure to post a report.

P.S. If she has a friend visiting she may try to get you to upgrade for a doubles session. She did that with me and I declined.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the advice. We'll Elizabeth or Renata it is. In your dream, did she offer cg? Do you recall her donation request?

Now this was a quality review.

I thought I was there!

Thanks.

[QUOTE=Slee899;5097487]After reading reviews and missing out her last visit in the area, I decided to schedule an appointment. This women aims to please and you are the focus when you are with her. This was actually my first visit with AG. Communication was clear and directions to the location detailed. Once there, confirmation text sent and I was on my way in. What stood behind the door was pretty lady taller than expected. She had a nice schoolgirl outfit on. She looked slightly different from the photos (not in a bad way) but it is definitely her. This lady oozes sexy. LFK and into room where we changed out of clothes and had a blue toast. Into the shower after that where cleaned everything thoroughly including the backside. Great preview BBBJ in the shower that almost caused me to lose it. I had to stop her it was that good. She does a fun thing in the shower where she grinds her backside against you. Once out, she helps towel down and then into the room. Once on the bed it was a quick (professional grade) massage followed by rim. She gets into it and then onto one of the best BBBJs I've ever had. We switched to CG, allowing me to get a view and feel of her awesome top. We stayed here until I got close then I requested BBBJ to CIM. She took it all without flinching then went to spit out. I'm sure 2nd cup was on table but I was a little late for this appointment and opted for nice massage before shower and kiss goodbye. Can't wait to try out some of the other talent.

Looks: 8/10.

Service: 10/10.

Attitude: 10/10.

[QUOTE=AkSkier75;5097139]For those that aren't aware, the Herndon Colombians with a good reputation that were mentioned on here in the past are still around. They are just harder to find online. Go to Yes Backpage, Virginia, then view all entries for adult services (not escorts). If you know them, you know which posts are theirs.

The beauty if their providers is as good as ever. Services offered depend on the provider.[/QUOTE]Thank you! I wondered if they were still in business. They were always reliable with nice clean busty women.

Anyone know of any good goth or alternative providers in / around the area?

[QUOTE=MikelSuTiger;5097730]Hit the adult services tab.[/QUOTE]I believe their ad titles are very short and to the point.

It's an angency you'd have to gey screened for, but Devin is coming back in a couple of weeks. I saw her in Nov and her two highlights are RCG as she is a trained dancer and does a little dance number before lowering herself onto you, and the BBBJ. Woooweee, for me it was a face fuck for round 1 and the rcg for round 2.

Saw an Eros ad for a Priyanka in Herndon VA. I google the number 917xxxx746 and it takes me to a "erotic review" I can't read any of the reviews posted (if anyone wants to help and has VIP or premium access on there I would appreciate) yet everything doesn't look good for her. It says she is late and doesn't fulfill people's expectations on the service etc. Can anyone see the comments on that website? Thanks.

My plumber visited this on a while back. She pops up every now and then in NoVa with a different email every time. Always for a few days at a time then poof. Gone for another few months. No way to track her through reviews he said since no name is ever associated with the ad and the email address is different every time. He said his visit was surreal. Inaccurate pics, crazy family stories, hygiene issues. Those pics may have been her 25 years ago but not so now. Be safe out there.

The last time she did so, which was summer of 2019, after I had driven about 90 minutes to see her near Quantico, was the last straw.

You might get lucky with her, but in my experience you will probably end up frustrated by her undeoendability.

She said she did not have to pretend around me. Last September we agreed to travel together to Colorado for a week.

About a week before the trip, she claimed that her car had been burgled and she might not be able to go.

After that she never answered my tests or calls. Of course, she kept the advance.

Leave well enough alone.

I'd love to see her or someone with similar attributes / ethnicity. Wish there were Some positive reviews / experiences out there. I've also held out due to what's been posted.

I've only been going to k agencies and AMPs. What are the reputable agencies we have here?

[QUOTE=Czech;5097358]My first was AG = verified in 5 days back in the day (However, around 6 months ago they claimed that I have "lapsed" in service and need to be re-verified.).

HT (which is now defunct) = 2 weeks after email and filling out the website form.

CP = 16 -18 months with multiple emails / text / website form.

DS = 24 months with multiple emails / text / website form.

As many folks here mentioned, patience and be respectful are the keys. These agencies seem to have threshold on the amount of clientele they want to have. They will only open the book when they need new clientele, like how the mob does to initiate new member, LOL.[/QUOTE]I'm verified by all of those except DS but HT and CP are not responding to my inquiries anymore. Weird since they've been my go to before this year. Now it's just AG and VIP.

I know its tough finding south asian providers, usually it is a black chick when the door opens. This chick is a total waste of time, nut, and cash. She is pretty good looking so if you can get past the disconnected persona, Jersey accent, and high-volume attitude then you can check Indian off you bucket list.

Set your expectations low.

Just saw this one.

The good: What you see is definitely what you get as her pics are 100% accurate. Yes she's been using these pics for a while and yes she still looks exactly the same as her pics. No gut, no stretch marks.. no back fat.. no muffin top.. Just a nice little bubble booty nice slim waist and small perky breasts. Nice girl. Nice attitude. Reasonable rates.. Can take a pounding

Now the bad: This chick does NOT do BBJ or even CBJ!! You are solely on your own getting your member to purpose.

[QUOTE=LoveDemAzn;5095758]Decided to try them out. Text the scheduler in the morning for a afternoon appointment. Ask for Nene but she wasn't available and a new girl Erika. Ask for pictures since site say Nene was on the site. Send me the same picture is for nene but I think they did change the picture just not the name. I might be wrong. Anyway was quoted 160/30, 260/45, 300/1 hr. Decided for 1 hr. Place is located in a nice community townhouse and single home. A lot of people out walking or driving by so I park on the curbside on the main road. Text the handler I was there. Here when it get weird. I should of bail. Told me I had to wait without giving the wait time and say park in the garage and come up. I pull up to the house and garage was open and a old dude was standing there. Park and told me to come in and wait in the living room. Sat on the couch and I can hear the action upstair. Awkward feeling with the old guy sitting at the dinner table. Waited for 20 min then she came down with her customer. I didn't make eye contact. After he left, handler told me to go upstairs. There I met Erika in the master bedroom. She differently not the girl in the pic but she look ok. She ask for donation, at this time I decided to do 30 min since I had to be somewhere soon and didn't really feel any chemistry. Strip down and we went to the shower. She about 5'7 maybe 100 lbs and a / b cup (I'm not good with judging size.) Gave a quick shower and no preview. Once we got back to the room, lay face down. She did some b2 b and rim. Not the greatest rim job. Then flip and she did BBBJ, the worst I ever had. No effort at all. Then hat came on and hit her several positions. Pop in the hat and she clean me up. We cuddle for a bit. If you want a conversation with her, you better have a translation app or know how to speak Japanese. Then she try to make me go round 2 but wasn't happening cause I wasn't in the mood and her skill wasn't great. Shower and left. Overall she does give a lot of effort and very friendly. Wasn't a clock watcher and not a one pop and you out the door like some place. But service and set up need to be better. Not on par with the K agency. She here till Christmas, I think that what she say LOL. I would repeat with a different provider if I'm looking to do 30 min. I rather spend the 1 hr with a girl from K agency.[/QUOTE]Thanks for an excellent report with plenty of details, man! I remembered an agency named Lotus Flowerz which had been very publicly taken down last fall. So I was surprised to hear someone else started up an agency reusing that same name. Honestly though, I'm too hesitant to give them a shot even if they eventually turn things around.

For starters, the agency name automatically makes me think of last year's bust, causing me to question whether they can run a tighter ship (even if it's run by someone completely unrelated to the prior iteration & is simply a case in which someone recycled the name). Secondly, the rates with the old LF was much cheaper than the other K-girl agencies (260 & 520, one and two hours respectively). And lastly, your explanation of how they made such an awkward initial interaction with a blatant bait-and-switch makes me trust them even less. I'll certainly keep an eye on here for further reports, but I'm doubtful I can ever bring myself to trusting them.

Door opens and she has a girl in the bedroom. So she wanted to do it on the couch in the hallway. She did not want to do BBBJ which I had thought was a given at 300 for an escort. She was like lets get it done attitude it did not work for me and I was pissed. Gave her 200 and walked. She tried to kick up a racket I just kept walking.

I'll certainly keep an eye on here for further reports, but I'm doubtful I can ever bring myself to trusting them.[/QUOTE]I'm pretty sure it's the same Lotus Flowerz as the one from last year's bust. I paid them a visit last week, and the booker was equally as terrible at scheduling as the old LF. I ended up having to wait 30 minutes this time, compared to having to wait 15 minutes when I saw them years ago. They also require no screening, so it looks like they haven't learned their lesson about discretion. The only thing that's changed is their location (they are now operating out of a townhouse instead of an apartment complex) and their rates (300 per hr instead of 200, but they have 30 and 45 min options).

Aside from the unreasonable wait, I ended up having a good time. When I walked into the place, I did not find anyone else (no "old man") in the house aside from the provider. Although I will say, it felt kind of weird for them to run this operation (with only one provider) in such a massive house, especially one with 3 floors. So if they shared the place with an old man, it wouldn't surprise me. The provider (Ne Ne) was quite a looker, very young, and super cute. I originally scheduled for only 30 minutes because 300 to me was a bit steep if the provider turned out to be a bust. However, that was not the case and I wish I had scheduled for an hour instead. As I said, I had a really good time with Ne Ne. She was very friendly and cute. Also a true Japanese girl, since she spoke almost no English. She spoke to me in Japanese even knowing that I didn't understand any of it. I personally enjoyed the hell out of it as this was a nice change of pace from the K-agencies, which I now frequent almost exclusively.

If LF can keep providing providers like Ne Ne, they are definitely one to look out for. As a side note, I noticed that the template of their website is very similar to another escort agency called "Asian Sensation" which operates out in NYC. See [URL]http://asian-sensation.com/.[/URL] Although I have never used Asian Sensation, they are a non-K agency known for their Chinese and Japanese providers. I believe LF and Asian Sensation are run by the same "organization", if you will.

Any reviews on them? 300 w abroad st.

It's just difficult to shake my bad feeling that their operation could go tits up at any moment--especially when they're unwilling to change the way they did business after its previous LE run-in. Glad you had a fun time with Ne Ne though! I'm surprised they've got Japanese models now as I only recall them having exclusively Chinese ones prior to their closure.

As for the website similarities, I can't access the link (503 error - 'over quota') . However, what you say is possible. From 2014 - 2016, I remember the now-defunct Exotic Asian Atlanta (EAA) sharing the same site layout & wording as Boston Flowers and one other agency in LA who's name I've forgotten. Any model who advertised at the Georgia agency was listed for 2-3 weeks, then headed to Boston shortly thereafter with the exact wording, pics, and rates. A few weeks after that, she'd show up at the LA-based agency with the same page description.

Sidenote: during my second-to-last year in Georgia, EAA was unfortunately busted and was followed shortly by the other two agencies, which furthered my assumption that they were all run by the same person / group. Huge shame since EAA essentially spoiled me when it comes to escort agencies in general. They were the best in terms of their service quality, lineup, rates, everything. After my first and only visit to LF last fall, I thought I finally found a true successor to EAA which exceeded expectations! But alas, their bust went down a month later.

Looking for something to do in Herndon. GFE? Anyone one want to provide some sites? I live more south. Can help with info near cville if interested. TIA.
