I sent you a Pm, but wanted to make a couple of suggestions as well in order for the next encounter to flow smoother.
Had you met her out for a drink/coffee first if not a lady you had seen before or was the initial meeting when you were already invested the social setting? Was she aware that she would be engaging in conversation with your colleagues *assumed* or was she just as shocked as you were on her lack of knowledge in key topics?Perhaps it wasn't the best match, but the more communication between people, the better. My lovey provider friend Camille of Boston is all of those described qualities. She has since crossed the pond, but I do know that what you are seeking does exist. Sometimes it does happen, ok a lot of times.. . providers embellish who they are in either a cover story (sometimes needed) or overcompensate in other areas. It can lead to some pretty awkward scenarios.
Spend some time with her before the business function OR.... take her resume and start interviewing her until she starts sweating and just has to take off her blouse. Ok this Is my fantasy. Sorry to hijack your post.

Why do some providers pretend to be something they're not?
Recently while on the phone making arrangements with a provider I mentioned that it would nice to have someone to accompany me to a business function coming up in a few weeks. What a mistake that was! She went on to tell me about her education, her extensive experience in business and how she planned to return to the business world in the near future. The problem was that she knows about as much about business as I know about forensic psychology, nothing. Don't misunderstand me, there is nothing wrong with someone who's not involved with "business", but does she think people are stupid? Anyone who listened to her talk for 2 minutes would know she had no experience along those lines. As a matter of fact they would probably wonder if she ever even read the newspaper.
I will say it again, it would be terrific to know a provider who is good looking, smart and who can convincingly talk the talk. That person wouldn't need to know business per se but she does need to be on the ball and conversant about something!!!
I see mnay girls touting their education and experience - they should know that it helps if they can back it up.
Your thoughts if any..
... I don't see why her knowing absolutely nothing about business would stop her from venturing back into the business world. I was speaking with one of my smart, business savvy and insanely beautiful friends this afternoon, lamenting over the fact that people care more about her incredible legs than they do about her incredible marketing strategies.
She does have incredible legs.
So, while you may be afraid that anyone who listened to your potential date talk for 2 minutes would realize that she was out of her league, just request that she wear a blouse cut to the low end of public decency and no one around her will realize anything at all... unless they're a jealous woman, but all the knowledge in the world wouldn't fend off that cattiness, especially in business.
I have no idea who you picked, but I must say that I've met some incredibly smart and accomplished professional women who enjoy moonlighting in this lifestyle 
How you might manage to pick the one dull knife out of the drawer is either a testament to your bad luck... or perhaps something else.
If you ever need to get schooled in forensics, or psychology, I've got you.

On a serious note, I don't believe that Mr. Chip actually took said lady to any social function. I think he eliminated the possibility in just the initial phone conversation.
Your suggestion of taking her for a drink/coffee in a public setting is a good suggestion.
However, based on Mr Chips unkind comments about the lady in question, I'm not too sure very many ladies in the profession or out would measure up. In my opinion, if you are asking an escort to accompany you to a business function, it is to show off some eye candy. She should not wander too far from your arm, so you should be able to control and navigate the conversation waters with even the lady you originally asked. (emphasis on "you asked!!")
Based on my observation and conversation with some of the ladies that have attended the Boston M&G, there are a plethora of women who I would feel comfortable taking to a professional/business social function. One of them has an engineering degree from a New York College.
Chipper, want any more of my thoughts??

Just to clarify, this came up during general pleasantries. The subject of work came up and I mentioned an upcoming business function. I said something like it would be nice to have someone with me that could really top of the evening. It was simply small talk - I did not invite her or anyone else as a matter of fact I never even considered it - it was small talk. The problem (for lack of a better word) was that this lady assumed there was an opportunity there and began pitching her credentials hoping to land the job. The funny part was that while lobbying for an opportunity that never existed she proved that even if I were looking for someone to accompany me it definately would not be her. That doesn't mean she's not a nice person or that I don't like her. It means just what I said, she was "pretending to be somthing she's not". Several of you mentioned paying attention to the way someone writes and/or speaks which is exactly what I did. She went on and on about her education and experience trying to make me believe there was a great intellect there but her vocabulary and articulation told another story.
And yes, there certainly are ladies out there who would be terrific in that scenario. I have the numbers of 2 such ladies in my phone right now. I could invite either one and have every confidence that they know exactly how to dress, act and speak in any and every situation. I have no doubt that Brooke would be great also (perhaps I'll find out at some point). The bottom line is I was not looking for anyone in this case.
In closing if I came off as being overly critical or mean I apologize, that was not my intent.
Oh...and "no" Long Gone Daddy I'd prefer not to hear any more of your thoughts, you sound like a dick!
What a coincidence, a position just opened up! I think you are the perfect candidate for it and I would love to interview you. XD

"Well travelled" often means: have stayed in a lot of hotels.
And very true!
Hence the need to spend a little time on the phone or in person first.
Don't be too jaded about stereotypes, though. There ARE the educated women and the well-traveled women. A key would be to look at the wording and grammar in their posts/ads/websites. Read between the lines, gents.
And C, you make a very good point. Guys looking for the real deal -- pay attention to the nuances of a provider's ads/posts. How she writes is generally more telling than what she writes.
Oh and chip - you have PM
They don't don't tell the truth? Or spin their credentials to get work in a vey competitive field?
Great observation I bet this is the only profession where that occurs... Btw some review talking about choking the girl with a huge tool as she orgasms for the fifth time seem like they too can be using some creative license.
Captain obvious reporting for duty
You make them sound like they are human and not just love dolls.
I have definitely been with ladies that could not carry on a conversation about current
events however, they did their job for the hour and had amazing skills.
I guess, the same can be said for professional football linemen. LOL
Most ladies I see are quite intelligent. Many I have dinner with OTC
when I see them regularly.
I would no doubt meet the lady a few times and go out
before I were to take her to a business event.
