I recognize this absolutely gorgeous woman as someone else.

Has anyone had any dealings with Diamond Bliss?

It seems as though they have either hijacked the pictures or Carrie has them booking her under another name? Why would she do this? Her reputation is as flawless as she is.

They also have pictures of Naomi the flake listed as Tyra.

Valentina is herself I guess, although I wouldn't expect to see her associated with an agency.
All are at highly inflated rates

Another bait and switch agency in the city?

Some ladies also book through agencies.  I don't know whether that's the case here.

eg shivani, christina web (their independent names)

I'm a bit bewildered by the fuss this has caused but I would like to thank everybody who has emailed me about my photos on Diamond Bliss.

DB are using the photos with my consent and I did do some appointments through them on my last trip to the US.  

**There is absolutely no intention on my part to deceive anybody or be in any way duplicitous.**

I have in the past worked entirely independently during my US visits but as DB have their own clientele when they approached me I was happy to accept bookings through them.

Using different names is very common in the UK - though I've never used any other name before.  I would appreciate feedback from anybody who has an opinion on whether or not it is a good idea in the US.  If it's not seen as a good thing then I will get DB to change my name to Carrie on their site.

I value my good reputation, my business depends on it.  I would never be underhand in my dealing with clients so I look forward to hearing members' thoughts on this.

Thank you in advance for your help

kisses....Carrie xxx

It looks deceptive. That is the way I saw it and thought it should be brought to light.

Why did you first use Katie and now Jade?
And now people are writing reviews about Katie and Jade and not you. I am also skeptical of the reviewer.

As far as using the agencies on top of your independent status. You have worked hard for your reputation and a pimp should not benefit from your labor.

Poopdeck, thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it.  

I don't see agencies as pimps.  It it very time consuming for me to organise appointments during my US trips as I screen my clients. If an agency does all this for me then I think it's fair they also make some money.  Nobody is obliged to book me so if they are not happy with the agency idea they can contact me directly or they can see somebody else instead.  There are lots of gorgeous providers in New York.

As for the names, the agency choose the name Katie and as it's a name I dislike I had them change it to Jade which is a name I like.

As I said, I in no way wish to deceive anybody or tarnish my reputation so I'm looking forward to any other comments on this subject.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I could see how it might work to your advantage to use "Carrie" on the site.  It would eliminate these little flame-ups where people try to figure out what's going on.  Plus, if someone sees you on the site and wants to do research, my guess is that they'd find very little under "Jade."  This may be a misperception, but when I see a provider using multiple names, I get a little suspicious unless they're well-known, which you are.

and your not even stupid...

Simply stupendous!

I appreciate you coming forward and enlightening us on the reasons why you have chosen to use an agency. I truly hope the advantages they offer don't outweigh the safety factor.
The reason I brought this to light in the first place, I have seen many scam agencies arise and use photgraphs of well known independents and porn stars, change the name of the lady on the site, and send someone different if they send anyone at all.

Your candor is to be applauded and should be a model for all of our aspirations. It shows that you are first class all the way.

Keep it simple stupid!

Von Ryan...You took the words right out of my mouth!

Tally Ho!

I say chaps...Carrie certainly does look like she has Bee's knees.
