I was quite capitavated by the pics and prose of Natalie Rose when she first came to out attention.  I tried to schedule with her a number of times and she has just blown off contact  when it comes time to schedule.  I have noticed that she has been Indie, been with appropo, gone through a few different hosts for her website and has had some friction on the board here.  Im wondering if anyone besides me has tried to see her but has found her to be unreliable.

I've seen her only one time but the set up for that time was fairly easy and plenty of communication throughout the process as well as the day of our appointment.

and it's possible that she's decided not to see you. She is also very busy outside of the hobby which she clearly states on her site. She has also explained that she was transitioning to a different web host and sometimes finding a good hosting company is trial and error.

I wouldn't categorize her as being unreliable but rather as being busy with sporadic work which makes her schedule unpredictable. While many of us admire her from a distance, she has a right to be selective and she's certainly not for everyone.

If you feel she's not being responsive to you, I recommend you move on. Too much one-way contact can be frightening to a provider. Natalie has a real life and she doesn't want this biz crossing over in any way. I for one completely understand her thinking because I feel exactly the same way.

Good post BTW.

100% same experience. Set the app't and had good communication with her. Then she vanished when it came time to see her. Annoying.

My experience has been much different with Natalie, Although with her schedule I have found it important to plan ahead. She does have a busy, if not hectic, outside life and that may make it difficult to contact her, however like I said at the top, I have had nothing but smooth sailing with her.

All I would say is this...  Very nice on the phone, but got the run-around twice when it came to our "confirmed" scheduled times.  Both times ended up NC/NS. Possibly wasn't "my time" to see her because it seems that others have had good experiences.

I had same experience.  She actually would send long detailed messages about her goings on, etc....more I would expect.  She gave the idea that she was really nice and no games.  Then she just canceled day of but she actually called, texted and emailed, seemed like a very responsive, thoughtful provider.  Then when she sent an email asking to reschedule, she never again replied to my response.  Again, she seemed great but then just vanished.  Figured she was busy or just decided not to...was weird but gotta respect them if the change their mind.

I was set to see Natalie a while ago and then had to cancel (the day before).  I send my cancel at about the same time she sent a confirmation e-mail the day before.  When she got my cancel, she went off on me implying that I would not have told her I was cancelling but for her confirmation (she clearly thought my cancel was in response to her confirmation, but in reality I sent mine before seeing hers ..), and how it was disrespectful, etc.

She was pretty abrasive, so I decided I didn't need the attitude as much as I like her style....
