Looks like I'll be working on a new project in the UTC area for the next few months anyone have recommendations in the area? I love a good lunch time rubdown.

[URL]https://www.rubrankings.com/united-states/california/san-diego/bodyrubs/body-rubs/zara-international-35869.html[/URL][/QUOTE]There are two Zara's.
One used to be Esther. Is Brazilian, and has been reviewed here. She used to work in Kearny Mesa and now is in Miramar at Nikki's place.
The other is a trans, and I don't know any more than that.
Has anyone seen Nia? Can't search her because her name is too short. Been awhile since I've seen a pregnant provider and she says she's 4 months. Just wondering how much she's showing.

Does anyone know any independents with * accounts? So far I've only seen lovelee's and sage's but were curious if there was more.
I had seen Briya's ads for a little while and reached out via text. She was very responsive and we texted back and forth, but my and her time line did not line up a few times. This time it was different. Texted her on a day where she did not have an ad up (or not yet) and she replied within minutes and was available during my prefered window. Booking was easy and she provided address off Morena Blvd.
45 minutes before the appointement she texted me that she was running 15 minutes late and if we could adjust. Totally appreciated that, as many other providers would just have me wait outside instead of proactively asking to change the time slot. Worked for me so I just adjusted my departure time.
Once I arrived I texted her and was invited in within two minutes.
Briya works out of an office complex buidling with a breezeway but it was not a busy place.
Knocked the door and was let in.
She greeted me with a wonderful long hug and I immediately sensed great energy. That moment I knew this will be fun.
Briya best feature is not being talked about in most reviews. Her eyes! She has the most amazing eyes, sparkling and they are just mesmerizing. Gorgeous face, nice hair, smells good and we had an immediate connection.
Briya's body is hot if you like a latina with big natural boobs, round hips and a fantastic grabbable ass. She's not a little spinner so if this is what you're looking for she might not be for you. But that's not the body type that I prefer anyway, so I was in heaven. Just a woman with a sexy body and fabulous personality. That's right up my alley.
I had booked her 15 min VIP special.
The room is small but nice, has a massage table and a sofa, towel warmer and strategically placed mirror. That's all I need.
Briya told me where to put the donation and asked me to undress while she quickly stepped out.
She was back in a minute right before I was completely nude and she complimented me on my underwear. Got rid of that as well and I sat on the side of the table as she approaches me for a big hug. We start feeling up each others and she feels fantastic, smooth skin, great body. I get lost in her eyes again. She turns around and rubs her butt against my already raging hard boner. She has a condom ready and it goes on for a great blowjob as she gets on her knees.
We move over to the sofa where I sit down and she straddles me, lets me rub her pussy a bit and then gives me some more oral and then hops on it in RCG. Her pussy is wet, nice and tight. I'm in heaven. Briya moves uo to the side ot the table and bends over for me to hit her in standing doggy. I slide right in and hit it hard. After a few strokes she lift up her leg to the side on the table and encourages me to fuck her harder and deeper. I oblige, grab that leg and lft it even higher while me other hand grabs her hip and I bang her really hard. She tells me to fuck her pussy hard. Her sexy talk is so fucking hot and I know I will not last long. After a few minutes I am filling the bag and I feel like a million dollars.
Briya cleans me up and we talk a bit more, hug and let more positive energy flow.
I start dressing and I am out after well over 15 minutes because we had such a good time together.
For me this is a definitive repeat and Briya is on my ATF lift. What a woman, amazing energy, great body and the captivating eyes and smile.
Thank you and I will be back for sure!
First time seeing Rosalie. I think she's gorgeous with an incredible body. She was pleasant to chat with, did a standard 30 HE. I thought the massage was ok but I probably could've asked for more pressure. Location was in a busy parking lot but the building itself didn't feel busy at all. I will be repeating. Curious how the experience for regulars with her is and if anyone knew who else works at this location.
Any intel on Roxi? I tried searching but I think her name is too short (or just no intel yet).

Wondering if anyone has tried Sofia in Carlsbad.
Tried searching, threads here but Sofia seems like a popular name. Ad search brings up some red flags as there are a handful of old ads from out of state.

Any intel / thoughts appreciated.
UPDATE: Texted with no response. Not the best sign.
Been wanting to branch out from AMPs. Anyone have any intel on these ads? In the mood for fetish friendly providers. DMs are welcome too.

[URL]https://privatedelights.ch/profile/NikkiDelight[/URL][/QUOTE]What fetish, and how deep into it.
Alma has her milking table or chair, does strap-on play, light bondage, and other fetish work.
Nuru Natalie has her whole Dom services.
Chelsea up in Oceanside is great to explore some light bondage with.
Depending on what you are looking for, I would not select any of the three you listed for various reasons. I think like "nuru", some providers drop some "fetish" buzz words into their ad to expand their reach. But in the end, they are not really nuru and not really fetish.
I recently ventured out to see Rosely for the first time. Location is nice and parking was not an issue. I think she's a little thicker and older than her photos but still has a great body. Two things really stand out to me 1) one of the best massage I have ever gotten and 2) her prostate play is amazing (anyone know if Melissa Karin is still around). CMT wise the massage was better than the most I have gotten at non HE places--but her ability to switch from a deep tissue massage to a sensual teasing massage and back is what will keep her in the rotation.
I booked an hour but at about the 30 min mark I started getting antsy for the flip because of how sensual she was and the prostate teasing. On the flip she seems like she has a routine and doesn't like when you throw a curve ball like trying to rub the kitty. My advice just lay back, relax, and let her do her thing. The finish is almost like a tantric edging session and I am a fan.
Side note, she's super responsive via text and is easy to setup an appointment with. I think she has a booker that you text with because her English over text and in-person are way different.
Massage: 8/10.
Finish: 7/10.
Ease of appointment: 9/10.

I've seen Nuru Natalie and had a great session. I disliked the cul de sac setup. A neighbor had a chair at the top of his driveway watching the whole thing. She did end up letting me park in the driveway, which worked out better.
Chelsea has been on my list for along while so appreciate you reminding me of her. I've even texted once or twice, but it was back during covid so never got a reply.
I'm looking for indies who are willing to go outside the normal FBSM script, even if it takes a few visits.
Any intel is appreciated. DMs are fine too.

Only copied one link, just because Lexi has another ho-hum review on t3 R.
Based on the reviews and comments here, seems like these girls are generally way above average in looks, but way below average in mileage.
My last visit was several months ago with Izzy. She was cute as ever, gave a nice edging, but pulled the "I'm in a relationship card" when I asked for extras even though it wasn't my first visit.
Most of their ads say Open-minded but discreet, ask in person. So instead of burning 260, I'm asking here. Has anyone asked? What's the damage for DATY on one of these hot young ladies?

That's almost an indicator that extras are going to be $100-$300 like many of independents are wanting for VIP / FS. If DATY is on the table for $300/ hour I will definitely try them out. Otherwise I'll stick with my favorites at the Little House, especially when they run their $155/45 minutes or $160/ hour specials. I can get DATY with most visits. Or my favorites with the Miramar crew- $170/ hhr with full nude, slides, etc. The Point Loma girls are a great option as well; sometimes I'll get texts with specials.

Same ad set up, 250/260 for hr, but another. 5 for nude. I once went for daty and I believe she wanted another 1. 2 but I told her all I came with was $4 so between the hr / nude / daty upgrade (and there was some BBBJ reciprocation) it was $4.
The girls there are hot. And I don't feel the cost and the services align. But again, that's only with one of the few girls down there. But based on the similar ad and structure, my guess is that there is a booker / manager involved which drives the cost up from the start and promotes the menu of individual add-ons rather than a flat rate. I prefer a flat rate (even if it's high 3) that comes with a lights out service and experience.

They were both hot, but had zero massage skills. I'd return for the looks alone, but the upselling is a huge turn off.

Hey fellas, longtime lurker here. Hoping you guys can steer me in the right direction. Moderator, please remove if not allowed.
Going back some years, I used to see a provider named Nat or Natta that did a great Thai massage with stretching, walk on your back, good massage with a decent finish. She has been gone for a while. Do you guys know any providers with similar services now? DM me if you do!
Thanks,
JD.

Your report aligns pretty well with all others about low mileage and big upsell.

One thing I didn't mention previously is that the office these girls work out of is less than ideal. You need to wait in the room while they make sure there isn't another client coming or going and the bathroom is disgusting. I swear there was another guys junk on the floor of the shower the last time I was there. I'll be sticking to more upscale locations in the future.
All the girls look hot but big disappointment with their pricing and what they are asking for with add ons and upgrades.
I miss the heavenly hands (HH) and soft touch crews and their regular specials. We need a new crew like them to start up again. Specials like $100/ hhr or $180/ hr is worth checking them out, once we are at the appointment then let the girls and mongers work out upgrades pricing.

Check out this listing. The audacity to try and tell another business owner how to run her shop. This is why I find myself going to TJ so much more these days. What some of these girls expect to make for their time is getting out of hand. If you can get a provider to candid about their business you'll typically find these girls can make their rent in 1 or 2 days of work. Far from what I would call struggling.
