I have enjoyed learning from the well researched and presented posts below here on TER about Shauna and her new group.
Shauna however has fraudulently presented as teammates two ladies from the Czech Republic who have no more connection with her than Julia Roberts' very wide inviting mouth and pouty lips, or Brittney Spears' navel.
Fraud is fraud, callous dishonesty. It permeates an enterprise from top to bottom because it exposes the intent to lie, in order to make money by deception. That is why it often is a federal crime, and a felony at that.
BDJ is advertising two hot CZ women who have no idea they are being pushed by her. I know because over two weeks ago I asked Madam Kristyna. The CZ site people speak and write almost no English. Sadly for Shauna, some of us travel worldwide and speak multiple languages.
Also, the ##1,3 positions of Shauna on the "For Sale" Top Lists of the late TBD site are highly suspicious given that some women admit paying for higher rankings. SF ROB Claudia just might have done so.
With so many untainted hot women around, I think I'll pass on BelledeJour and not "seize the moment." The title by the way was also stolen from an excellent French movie I saw with my late Eastern European spouse.

But I'm not so sure I'll take a pass, knowing from GirlCrazy's excellent research, what is real and what isn't.

I have seen Shauna 5 times -- I have seen Shauna during each of her 3 earlier LA tours (I saw Shauna twice during her July/August 2001 tour) and once in Florida. And I have a confirmed appointment with Shauna during her LA tour next week. IMHO, Shauna deserves her #3 ranking in the U.S. and #1 ranking in the Southeast by TBD. While I have seen some highly TBD ranked escorts and wondered how they got their high rankings, this was NOT the case with Shauna. I think Shauna looks even better in person than she does in her Penthouse Pet layout and in her numerous TV appearances on the "E" network. Shauna is Drop Dead Gorgeous! And Shauna's performance matches her looks. To confirm this, look at the consistent high marks for Shauna's appearance and performance in her TER reviews. Some TBD ranked escorts may have bought their rankings or got them through personal connections with TBD, Shauna earned her high rankings. Anyone who has seen Shauna will attest to that.

As to the phony pictures of Maya and Tamara, I am sure Shauna did not post these pictures knowing that they were fake. The 2 girls submitted the pictures to Shauna and Shauna posted them on her web site. The 2 girls resembled the girls in the pictures and Shauna did not doubt their authenticity. Shauna's mistake was trusting Maya and Tamara.

I am always wary of glossy pictures. I have been disappointed a few times when the escort did not look like their glossies. Shauna is not the first, and she will not be the last, owner of a web site to be given fake pictures and then post them.

Check the pictures of the models on BDJ and you will find that, other than a few glossy pictures, almost all of the other pictures were taken by Shauna or taken while Shauna was present. I am sure those pictures are real.

While I have seen Shauna, I have not seen any of the other BDJ girls yet. But if and when Shauna recommends one of the other BDJ girls, I am confident I will have a great time.

I respect your decision to pass on the BDJ girls but I think it will be your loss -- just read all the great reviews after BDJ's tour of LA.

# 1 I do run Belle de Jour and photograph many of the girls of Belle De Jour myself. If a she is not a regular BDJ girl and does not want me to take photos of her but is willing to work, I’ll send her to do a few dates with gentleman I know, if he tells me the girls is not GFE I do not push the issue to photograph her because I probably won’t be sending her out on a lot of calls, there were a few girls in particular who called me when I first opened up BDJ and asked if they could work with me. They were referred from a client so I did not question them if the pix were real I assumed they were honest and I believe the client, I believe them. this is my nature and this may have burned me. Anyone who knows me in L.A. or anywhere else knows I am a straight shooter, I do not bullshit, nor do I have to bullshit. I am as real as they come. I am sure people will question if I have ever done PENTHOUSE & the cover, yes I did but who cares, that was then, this is now and now I’m one of the best escorts around, read the reviews.

   I used these girls that are being referred above not a lot but they were and are still reliable, but not what you would call GFE, I feel that term is over rated, but is the best was to describe a girl that gives a loving personal and friendly experience.

   The bios that are on my site, if they are written by the girl herself she may describe herself as a GFE, weather they are a GFE or not maybe depend on how the escort and the client respond to one another. The term GFE might be more trouble than it is worth.
Coming back to the subject,  I sometimes go off on tangents because I hate typing so much but I felt I should address this issue, which happens to be very important, maybe not to you guys but it is to me.

   This issue with these 2 supposed girls is bothering the shit out of me, as you can see I am posting this at 3:15 am east coast time.

   I do not take these things lightly and if I find out that these girls sent me bullshit photos off the web I will be very pissed to say the least. I want to speak freely here, because I don't want to come off like a prima donna, I am not, but the words I want to say you may or may not want to hear. I am f*cking mad right now that I had to hear about this from a couple of my LA clients.
I also have a question for the local FL guy here that posted this, why didn't you call me yourself, I would have appreciated the news coming from you first,  I am only a county away. If these girls did this they will be pulled off the site and the pics of who they say they are will be pulled down.  I will notify other agency down here that I know,  if these girls approach them to not let them do to them what they did to me.

   I also want to state that I have incredible girls, they all get great reviews on TBD AND TER, they deserve those reviews.

   I have a great knack of matching the wonderful men who call me everyday with the special girls I send them. I am very lucky to be working with some of the girls on my site.
As I said earlier in my post, I photograph a lot of the girls myself, you will notice in many of the photos on the site, the background is of my home in south Florida, my bed, couches, pool, the lake in my backyard, the settings are real. I am in about seven shots that were taken of me last week. It took me forever to get around to taking some of myself. Some people said the backgrounds are too similar, but I like it that way because you can see some of the girls in the same background, it almost like a verification of the girls on the site, because you know I took the pictures.

I have NO association with Belle de Soir.

   I would also like to say that because of all this posting, my voice mail has to be constantly emptied out and my email is just getting out of hands so if any of the guys I know are writing me about next week, check your email I sent out the dates to you.

   Also.. Jasmine is going to have to re-schedule her dates to LA due to her moms serious illness. She has not been back to Florida since her NY/ BOSTON trip and she is just going to work around the northeast area for now. She is originally from CT. and that is why she has been working around there lately. Tabitha from Vancouver will be with me in LA.

   So once again I am going to address this issue seriously ,I just wish it were handled a little different by some people on this board.
I know they mean well but I am just a phone call away.

Thank you & be safe,
from the real SHAUNA )

I love it when Shauna shows her spirit and passion. And I can guarantee that Shauna shows that same spirit and passion in her sessions. I can't wait to experience Shauna's wild passions again in Los Angeles next week. I plan to have some oxygen on hand!

Different person might have different taste, time might even change things.  However, I think she deserves to be included in the elite group of the best in this business.  This conclusion is based on an objective view of the materials available and has nothing to do what ranking she got in TBD or how she got that.

I appreciate your previous contribution of legal matters in this community.  It benefits a great deal of us.  I understand why you are offended by the possible use of other’s photos and copyright violation.

I have a different point of view on this matter as I have responded in the message posted below.  Sometimes we as hobbyists have to cut some slacks for the ladies.  The pictures used are pretty common lingerie shots.  As long as there are no gross misrepresentations and service degradation, a fellow hobbyist can decide whether the girls are good or bad.  Anything else could easily be taken care of by reviews.

Please keep posting your thoughts and reviews.  We all need various opinions from different sources.  This is what makes TER a treasure for all of us.
