.... so I don't pursue  them anymore.  

Belle de France might be the exception. I've been thinking about seeing her.

As I was not hobbying 10-12 years ago, I don't know what Russian girls were like at that time, but I have pretty decent experience in the last couple of years. I have tried many indies, based on TER reviews. I don't think I had any bad experience, look and performance wise. From one of them, I found one agency that consistently offer good performance without any bait and switch. I also tried couple of time by ad website alone. Although it was 100% bait and switch (fake pics), the experience was okay. They all look good enough so you will stay, but their performance is lacking (no kissing, no daty, cbj only, etc.). From those few tries, I was given one agency's own website. There's no more bait and switch, but performance varies greatly. Although I like how Russian girls' look and body, I found it difficult to have a good GFE when they don't speak much English.

p.s. PM me if you want to know any specific.

in a four-month period when they first started showing up in LA a few years.  Every one of them except one hassled me with the upsell for services that are normally inclusive in a session, so I gave up and quit trying.  I will admit that many are DDG, but not worth the frustration.  An advertised $350 hour turns into $500 if you want BBBJ, DATY and CIM.  

...L.A, market more than the K-girls do today.  Gorgeous, sweet, FOTB.  And only $100.

Except back in the day, 200 then is now the 400 for today. You still had your bait an switch. And back in the day, most were named Lena. But the one true Lena was out in Westwood and she was my fav for a couple of years.
But I've shied away from the Russia scene...but nothing's really changed.

After more than a few frustrating experiences I reached out to someone who had reviewed many Russian's...

He gave me some advice on a booker that had never failed him and she has really come through for me maybe a dozen times now )

You've got to love the Russians as they are so fiery and unpredictable...... once you get their motor running the whole experience takes on a life of it's own!!

I didn't know we were a thing
