for me to continue the studies on other BDJ girls.

A number of readers of the studies probably don’t realize that this was done as a response to a previous thread that raised questions about the legitimacy of BDJ.  I, as a third party observer, decided to present an objective finding to clear the air.  In doing so, I have used reviews of various reviewers and ladies to support my thesis.

The 2 ladies I have examined so far have passed the scrutiny with flying colors.  There are photos with real faces that members can check against.  If there are doubts about their services, there are reviews on a number of BDJ girls.  If the 2 ladies are the real deal, most likely the rest are not bad either.

It is not pleasant for a lady to have her reviews analyzed nor is it fun for a reviewer’s review examined and commented upon.  I am sure my reviews would be criticized for moments of euphoria and their explicitness.  I could even be guilty of having too high a score for a couple of ladies I adored (in fact, one of my TER buddies had told me so).

The gentleman that raised the initial alert was probably trying to do a good deed.  In responding to that with the way I had, I have possibly made it a bigger issue than it should be.  My intention was good, but there are lots of bad things happened in this world because of good intentions.  If I have caused angst or anguish to the BDJ girls, the gentleman, other reviewers and ladies referred in my study, I hereby apologize.

So far only a handful of members know my true TER handle.  Since I use an alias for my posting and no PM is possible, if anyone want to contact me privately please email me at [email protected].  Please feel free to give me honest and unvarnished comments or feedbacks, publicly or privately.  This is the one and true way for me to grow and learn.

Disclaimer: No one has prompted or influenced me on this decision.  I have not had any correspondence with BDJ or the gentleman.  May be I am being too sensitive on this subject, I just believe this probably the right thing to do at this point.

And moreso, I appreciate your ability to analyze the fine data from the TER database. Your intentions have always come through clearly to me, and I've enjoyed the study on how to use the reviews to thier fullest.
BDJ owes you nothing but appreciation for your efforts in clearing some confusion and all the free recognition you've provided by doing so.
I think I was mentioned in your studies as well, and hell, the reviews are out there. I may embarrased about having my reviews scrutinized, but I did write them so I have nothing to complain about.

The initial post in this thread was to point out that two of the girls on Shauna's Belledejour website either were bait & switch or phony because the pics were directly and unambiguously lifted from a Czech site. That site is
http://www.kristynaescort.cz
Go look at it if you doubt. The pics were directly lifted.
These same misappropriated pics several days later are STILL on Shauna's site, with no legitimate explanation of how they got there or why.

Virtually every response has either missed this inquiry entirely or gone off into an infomercial for Shauna. The initial post raised no other question, except maybe the Top listing issue from the TBD world. It is normal curiosity to wonder what those listings cost.

I would suppose that an honest webmaster would immediately remove pictures that were phony or plainly violated another's copyright. Yet that has not been done.

I've got news for you. After taking a closer look at the Czech site I realized that the pictures there are fake. Shauna is looking into whether these temps she agreed to advertise submitted fake photo's, but the jury is still out on that one.

My gut tells me they're both fake, but the images on Belle De Jour were not lifted from the Czech site. They are most certainly not, as you claim, directly lifted. The pics are of the same girls, you have a good eye there, but the pics are different. And each of the pictures are photoshoped in a different way, from some other original digital image. I believe they've both been lifted from a third unidentified source.

original post that stated that

"Belle also gets very regular reviews of girls who do exist in the US, here on TER, almost every other day, always very favorable. Hmmm. Makes you wonder if that too has any element of systematic false advertising?”

with the following comments:

“To top it off, the owner of Belle is ranked #1 on TBD Top List for the Southeast and #3 nationally. Isn't it common knowledge that those rankings were for sale and/or barter?”

combining the two paragraphs together, it seemed to me that you were questioning the validity of the high rating of Shauna herself and the trustworthiness of the reviews of most if not all the BDJ girls.

These are serious allegations coming from a serious person that I believed deserve detail research and investigation.

I know that you mean well and there are in fact problems with the photos of Maya and Tamara.  I have pointed out from my previous messages that there might be corners being cut or misrepresentations with regard to these 2 ladies.  So far there are no reviews to point out one way or another.  But to extend that and question the validity of all the BDJ girls and use the word “systematic” is to raise the suspicion level so high that I felt a need to step in as a neutral third party and find out for myself and others whether it is true or not.

My studies looked beyond the claims of “She is great” in responses.  I used past reviews in TER that had been written over months by a good number of reputable reviewers to counter the serious charge of “systematic” manipulation of the review process.  I felt the need to use 6 reviewers totaling over a hundred reviews to validate the lady.  Furthermore, I listed more than 30 reviews to establish the credentials of these reviewers so that others can trust the reviews by them.  With the listing of names and method I used for verification, other members can independently cross check and criticize my findings.  I felt that this is the only way to counter the possibility of “systematic” review manipulation.

I might have overreacted.  By no means am I using that and other responses as an infomercial.  I took grief in how the ladies felt as indicated in messages posted here and in the NY board.

All these bring me no joy and in fact make me sad.  I will refrain myself from further discussions on these matters.

Best wishes to all.

You can place the two Marta photos side by side and examine them for similarities. They are identical to the trained eye in every respect except one. Shauna blurs the face more, and does so more brightly, to obliterate the smaller blurring in the original Kristyna photos of course Einstein! The shadows, hi-lites, pose, pillow contourts, corners, angles, all else are the same. Only an OJ jury would be dumb enough not to see that! LOL

The Kristyna photos are first in time, before Shauna even started BelledeJour.

The theory of a phantom third source has zero hard evidence to support it. Speculation by phantom so-called photoshop experts is not evidence of anything, without much more explanation and analysis. Shauna must have seen that these two women were not the person in the pic, and decided to pass them off on gullible guys anyhow, or just to add content to her website.
I'm not suggesting that Shauna herself is a bad experience, only that she either carelessly or intention continues to allow fraudulent  pics on her site, which may be both copyright infringement and wire fraud, nothing serious to the jaded.

...Einstein!! They couldn't be lifted because there is information missing from the edges. The Belle De Jour pics are not cropped. They can't put back information that wasn't there to begin with. That's my hard evidence, you're seeing pixels that aren't there.

I realize the timeline, which is another reason I come to the conclusion of the third source.

I have no interest in defending Shauna, but she has already said that she never met the two girls face to face. The truth is, we don't know what's going on and I'm being an idiot by confronting your speculation with my own speculation.
