She lives in my building and I've always admired her, I randomly found her online and she's very well reviewed and costs $1000+ per hour.  should i contact her and if so how should i do it? I am more than capable of keeping it completely professional and private.

Seems to close for comfort. She's going know things about you that most other providers wouldn't. And vice versa. At the end of the day, I'd say don't shit where you eat.

Really?  

Maybe it's just me but that could make someone feel very vulnerable even though that is not your intent.   Remember, you know she's breaking the law and has a lifestyle not smiled upon in many circles.  

I forgot to mention she's a famous porn star....

good call. thank you

pick someone else to contact.  

...  I would keep it on a civie basis... if she makes you an offer you can't refuse then let that be her doing.

What kind of advice are you getting here?  This is pay for play.  Let's see if I understand this....Your a hobbyist and she is a well reviewed escort?  If so, read the reviews.  Does she provide the services that you require?  Are you OK with spending $1000/hour on an escort?  Why not see her?  Just remember this is a professional relationship.  I would just use normal channels to contact and for screening first.  I wouldn't approach her as she takes out the trash.   I have seen 100's of escorts in my life without incident or drama other than a few back-page girls....One question:  Do you think that you can handle a porn star living in your building without coughing up thousands of dollars?  Kind of like an ice cream bar in the freezer calling out your name.

$1000+ per hour -     roflmao

Appreciate the advice everyone. I think I'm just going to avoid shitting where i eat lol.  
Thanks!

but..yes, I could handle a porn star living in my building without coughing up thousands of dollars.  

We like to imagine that people who see us day to day will never bump into our advertising.  Possibly not reasonable, but please don't call attention to it...

Where does her rate enter the equation when deciding whether or not this would be a tactful option for yourself to engage in

You can always move to another place.  

If you keep posting stuff like this, I may lose my bet I made with Gambler.  You wouldn't want me to lose would you? rofl

Also, if you hadn't "recognized" her as your neighbor, would she have been your type? Would you have contacted her off the strength of her ad?

I know what you're saying, but the rate does indicate something about the woman. Mostly it reveals how she feels about herself when it comes to making her body available to strangers. She sets a price on it, and that suggests how she feels about herself, not necessarily about how she feels about her skills.

Why not try chatting her up and having an affair

whether it's a matter of self esteem or whatever....

offer a couple of cups of coffee.

...go ahead and book an outcall to a hotel. Keep it to yourself that you live in the same building. Do your best not to run into her in your building and if you do, just give her the nod or act like you don't know each other. Then you can book again and bring up the "was that you I spotted in _____? What a small world!" Then, be cool. If you're cool, you might get lucky having a hookup down the hall.  

I think the not-a-weirdo ship has already set sail. The OP is asking advice from the public on how to not be a weirdo.

where it comes to service vs price per hour, with the higher priced ladies actually providing WORSE service than the more modestly priced women, but then once you get down below a certain level, typically around $200 hr in the states, I notice a significant downturn from there as well. My "sweet spot" for quality and value seem to be in that $200-400 range with service falling off above and below that price point. There are exceptions of course, I am saying this as a GENERAL observation only.

You would rather pay less for a session with a lady. Versus paying more for an appeareance by a more recognizable woman.

My moron OTOH rarely makes any sense, and in his case it's not from lack of trying, I think unlike fatvern/pimples/JCA who trolls intentionally, I think Fungy is just a moron, incapable of even acting any smarter than he does.

DA is going to be pissed if you keep making posts that make total sense.

but I OTOH, I can smell victory already, even though it's only late August. lol

that does seem to vary a bit by market -

I like betting on myself, that is of course only when I want to win

Or can you recognize her from her body? Because if she has her face for everyone to see, well, what does she expect. Sooner or later someone from the building she lives in is surely going to recognize her and possibly want to to see her, or worse, let everyone know she is a hooker

just look at the Washington DC market area -

I was under the impression we were comparing ladies who have a recognizable name in the porn industry, to those that don not. Price wasn't included in my observation until this particular comparison was made.

Then went and searched to see if she may also work as an escort.

You don't need to tell her you live in the same building-you may never run into her or if you do she may not recognize you.  I say go for it!  I have a gal I see that lives in my subdivision-Convenient-Just wish I could identify another one or two-I think there may be more !

That doesn't mean they deserve less discretion or have to put up with every psycho stalker in the neighborhood. I'd agree that it's harder to stay low when your video is all over the net. It's even harder to lay low when it's a very hot young girl in her 20s driving an expensive car worth 100k and lives in an apartment.

The HDH mentality that I should be honored just to be in her presence is the one that gets me.

and I don't mind "high volume" at all either as long as she doesn't get burnt out either mentally or physically. I had an LTR with a Thai agency girl that by almost all definitions was "high volume' she considered a day with only three to four customers a very slow day, but she ALWAYS had plenty of gas left in the tank for me, I can only imagine how much sexual energy she would have if she quit being a hooker? She probably would have fucked me to death. lmao

is no doubt what she does...it is on her hooker website. All he has to do is print off the page her face is on and add the url to the image if he wanted to. Not hard. Plenty of proof there.

She will probably not want to share her secret life with anyone outside the hobby. So, either approach her as an interested neighbor looking for a civvy date OR book a session with her as a hobbyist; but do not let her know you are a neighbor booking a session. If she goes out with you as the interested neighbor, don't assume she will immediately sleep with you either. Once you get to know each other, you can sort it all out.  Just one man's opinion

Exactly the sentiment your original OP brought to mind.

I met a provider and was not sure she was one.   She acted really interested and I asked her for a date.  She accepted but never was available.  Eventually, we lost contact.  I still know her address and pass by often.  She also has a personal blog.  

She might be more freaked out and uncomfortable than you.
