Not that big of a deal, as she seems kind of hot.
But just wondering how she got my email address?
Is TER selling this info? (I have to think/hope not)
Or perhaps some other agency?  
Curious to know if this happened to anyone else, as this is the first time I have received an unsolicited email from a provider.

Hahaha!!
Thanks Devin!
Even though I have never used that agency, when I went to their site I immediately recognized her.
She aboslutely worked for an NY agency, and I have seen her many times.
Thanks for doing my homework for me!  
P.S. I really have to stop drinking...

BTW, she was 20% cheaper at the agency.

I do not know that I have ever seen a girl Not raise her rates after leaving an agency. There are many reasons for this of course .
 1. The agent split the cost of the room with her and no longer does. This could mean a difference in expenses as much as 4500 a month if she worked 30 days a month which i know most don't but it is easily possible . The agent gives about 150 a day toward hotels.That is dollars not pessos lol and that would be able half of her hotel expenses on cheap crappy nyc hotels most of us do not want to be in .
 2. The agency gave her more work than she is willing to do as an indy and wants to see less guys than she did there without cutting her month end bottom line too hard.
 3. Becuse she wants to see a lower number of people she raised her rates.
 4. She feels her reviews are good enough to get the higher price.
 5. She noticed girls with reviews as good or not as good as hers Are getting the higher price.
 6. and number 6 agencies typically charge a little less than indy girls and that is pretty much the norm as agents get more work they make it up in volume.
 
Agents charge less but the average going rate is higher typically than an agent , I figure if you are looking her up she maybe worth the extra money, she probably does as well. Good luck , Pollie

When someone goes indy they have many more expenses.  Indies are generally more expensive than agencies.  That's the nature of the business.

When with an agency, the fee is split, except for any tip.  
As an indy, the indy pockets it all.  

Let's assume 400 split 50:50. She is receiving 200 per hour but spending little or nothing on ads, little or no time on screening and booking, etc.  

If she keeps her overhead costs at or below 200 per hour (averaged out over an entire given time period), then she only needs to charge the same 400 to be where she was before.  

I'm ignoring that she might want to work fewer hours for a higher rate; that the agency room subsidy (sometimes 100%) was generous and now she is stuck with 100% of the fancy room expense; that she attracts a lot of time waster who call and email but never book. Some agencies also help with pro photo sessions but I don't know how much. (Some agency ad pics seem to get updated all at once. Even if they are not paying 100% for the girls' shoots, maybe they negotiated a nice discount to shoot several girls on one or two days.)

Some agency-to-indy girls do raise their rates but not all of them.
