I realize that for many women this is a necessary evil, but I'm thinking that in the age of photoshop there must be a better way to protect identity.  Or perhaps a mask?  Airbrushed or real?  

Maybe it's because women don't want to be accused of retouching so the facial blurring is made frightingly obvious, but it detracts from the whole rest of the picture.  It simply looks tasteless.  I know of one where on top of a beautiful body the head looks like a nub.  It's so mutilating I could hardly look at it.  Horror movie, anyone?  I can't advise that she  see guys who get turned on by that picture.  

I've seen more effective ways of keeping facial identity hid.  I hope the blurry face goes out of style.

. . . for providers' photos.

I'd rather see some blurring than have the head cut off. I hesitate to see a lady if I have no idea of the face might look like.

When blurring, I don't like to put a blotch on the face; like you said, it looks so mutilating. I like to blur the edges of the photos where the blur creeps up to the face. It looks more natural and we can make out some facail features. The disadvantage is the it blurs the hair as well, but other photos with the face turned away would include hair.

it counteracts the blurring and you can see her face as clear as day. Works on the same principle as the Dolby.

It's a means for providers to show you what they look like without jeopardizing their real life. Why some of the ads that use fake pics feel the need to blur is beyond me, except maybe they're keeping up the deception.

What really ticks me off is that many providers don't use their real names or provide their home addresses and telephone numbers. What's with that? [heavy sarcarm]

I've seen a couple of escort photos with masks and it looked very silly.  It may be possible to use them and look OK but I've not seen it.

I agree some blurring is very badly done and looks awful.  What I don't understand is the point of blurring which is so light that anybody who knew the lady would be bound to recognise her anyway.

the photographer uses a combination of lighting, hair and pose to conceal the facial features in a very artistic way.

This provides a combination of privacy and erotic sensibility and should be used by those who want anonyminity.

Good point. I recently have tried to blur enough to where I am not recognizable, but in viewing my site you have an idea of my facial features.

Also, I have seen alot of ladies blur more around the eyes an leave the lower have of the face slightly more clear.

I guess the men will just have to get over the fact that my face is blurred. I don't think it looks bad and it protects me therefore so be it.

Besides, no matter what type of photos you have, there will always be someone saying something negative. Get over it!
Hugs,
Ciara

You also have one where you're face is darkened-- Very haunting.  That was the one I remembered.    

I said it's a necessary evil.  Unless this the profession becomes decriminalized and honored.  I didn't see myself as complaining, but wondering what alternatives people may think of, or how it can be done tastefully.  

All told, darling, the pictures make me want to see you again.  That's what's important.  The pictures shouldn't ruin your life, and ideally they should make the clients want to see your face.  I think you've succeeded and with negligible blurring.  

   

I just wondered if with photoshop another type of alteration might exist.  I realize there could be ethical problems with that... but it can inspire some very imaginative solutions.  

she polishes your cock dude. All of the ladies have a right to privacy in any manner they choose. I guess it's been a long time since you've seen Ciara, because all I remember about her is how good she is in the sheets. She can remain nameless, faceless for my 2cents... Get your cock polished more my friend and you'll care less about how she looks.

What a very sensitive individual you are.

The few ladies I have seen are etched in my mind.
I can vividly recall their faces anytime I choose.
I don't just remember "how good she is in the sheets".
I remember what a genuinely nice person, and what a great friend she is.
This pertains to all the ladies I have seen, not just Ciara, although, I do consider her a very dear friend.
This is a big part of the reason why I have given up writing reviews.
My visits with the ladies are about much more than just the physical.
Guys like you just won't ever get it.
Some of us look for more than just getting "your cock polished".

I don't know you, and I know it makes no difference to anyone here, but I don't appreciate for your attitude..... dude.

Just my opinion...

My pics are on my site for a reason, they work for me !!!

Hi Bob. I am happy that you can fall in love for the hour or two and that you relish the faces and thoughts of your trysts. Because I choose not to become too enamored with my dates makes me a realist more than the simpleton, you'd have me be. Most of these ladies care not for our affections, they care for our cash. How each of use chooses to enjoy the experiences we pay for is about choice. If these ladies become your friend, count yourself lucky, but it's an awkward pretense to think that their love is actually returned in equal measures.

I grabbed a picture of Kate Beckinsale from Google, and then did some some fast filter work, and one custom brush with a style applied, to give a very limited range of what in theory could be used.  The color differences in some of them could be much better if the "Photoshopist" (if that's not a word it should be...maybe I just coined that...) took more time than I did on these.

I'll swear to it!

they lok just like the pcitures...   specially at 1 am in the morning ....  

Next thing you'll be tellin me is that "strapon" is not the ladies name.... her parents did not name her after a gunslinger in "high noon"

Can one only experience something meaningful if the other person involved shares it in kind?

I would say the answer is "no".
I can like people that don't like me, I can care for people that will never return it, and I can love people without it being reciprocated.

The time spent with a lady doesn't have to be about "loving" them, but it can be about far more than simply getting off.  

One can have an appreciation for the activity without limiting the experience to solely the activity.  

I would never presume to think a lady "loved" me unless she specifically said she did...and even then I think I would have a hard time beliveing her...not because of her being in this business, but because I have a hard time believing anyone loves me...but that wouldn't proclude me from being grateful for the human contact, the tenderness and care shown to me.  

Just because a lady wouldn't "love" me doesn't mean my own kind feelings must be entirely mitigated. An appointment can be about far more than using the lady as some sort of human masturbatory device, and "automatic cock polsiher" in your case, she can be a warm, fully alive person that even if the impetus for the encounter on her part is monetary can give far more than a physical act...and what she may give should be cherished and appreciated. Not a matter or "falling in love for an hour or two", or "being enamored with", but simply taking more from the encouter and seeing it as more than time with a spooge extraction device.

To me, realism would say I could polish my own cock and save hundreds of dollars if that's all there is.  That's both simple and realistic, yet I presume we agree that there's something missing in doing it that way, something worth paying somebody hundreds of dollars-- which is only more per hour than any other professional you will directly pay for.

I'd say you're concealing something there to call yourself a realist.  In other words, I think you're phony about it.

True, they care for our cash as anybody in business must.  That doesn't mean that if I'm friends with some that I'm loving them at a loss.  

Yet, there is nothing wrong with keeping your distance as you choose to.  I'd say you probably have very good reasons for doing it that way that don't apply to my life.  

But when you try to say you pay hundreds of dollars for a simple orgasm, and that this is a  superior realistic approach-- that's where you sound like an ass.

That is only due to defective geography and a defective pocketbook.  And my, I miss her.  So, you're right, as far as that goes: if I were meeting her more, I'd think about blurry faces on  fabulous bodies less.  It's a matter of a horny mind redirecting itself-- creatively I hope.

As I remember Ciara, her style leading up to the cock-polishing still gets me horny, and... the memories only get fabulous from there.  Those memories have sweetened over time-- though in no way have they mellowed.  I'd say they gained heat!  

I think you deliberately short shrift her in describing her job as a simple cock-polishing.  At a high grade hotel, a shoe shine specialist costs about $5.  You happily pay $$$ for her time.  The shoe shine specialist will probably polish your cock too for just $75.

You're not as dumb as you make yourself sound here.  She's in no way a commodity.  Neither are most of the independent shift mistresses.  

Excuse me.  I gotta go solo now...

Actually, I think ambient darkening along with some blurring effects like you have above could be a good effect.  That, or perhaps some hair falling across the face, with darkening.  Humorously, I wondered if one could "anime" the face.  Make it look like a Japanese anime.  Probably it's too  jarring to work, though.

It's that they love their work (hopefully).

You are the receipient of their skills and allow them to practice their art, thus making both parties fullfilled.

Sometimes it doesn't work and the session is mechanical and not that fullfilling, but that is life.

Wonderful examples!
However, providers should choose wisely:
Gausian Blur and Lens Flare can be undone mathematically.
So too with Diffuse Glow, to a lesser extent.
Pixelate is not reversable, but the human eye is supurb at filling in the blanks...
Don't know about the others.

I am glad you can with a straight face and semi-jaundiced smile call me as ass because I choose not to fall to hyperbole and extra-ordinary specualtion about what I might be missing if I only... on the surface, you take my words and when you compare them to your own exhortations; describe them as less than... perhaps we only have a difference of opinion and I at least am not trying to quantify your experience in words or numbers. Suffice to say that I shall not waste another brain cell on this topic, less I have a bushel minus one to enjoy my next session with some fine lady and write nothing about it on these pages... for you to meet Mary Palmer or any of her sisters. Nah!

Whether shes loves her work is for some of you to debate, alas I believe she loves what the choice can bring. Does she love climbing from under some sweaty sop who demands more than the dollars are worth? I doubt it. Does she love sex and get paid for her addiction? Perhaps. Is she just trying to make a living when other choices are not as lucrative or demanding? Who knows. What you care about is whether her acting skills are above reproach for the hour or two you pay for her audience. Nothing more.

Your words Phophet. Orgasms, even of the order of "I really don't want to get to know you" are just as intense. Cocks can be polished a number of ways in case you are wondering. I did not equate cock polishing with a price; you did. If I see a particular lady more than a couple of times, you can bet we found more common ground that a "simple cock polishing." That said, why get sore with me? Can't you respect my point of view even if different than your own. I read your original post and only said you were wasting time wondering about her face (looks) when as you know, the real talent lies elsewhere.

I took exception to your referring to this as though the ladies were selling a commodity.  Your reference to it as cock polishing was just too breezy about it for my tastes.  I'd rather think about the blurry face more than think of the experiences boiled down to that.  

Sometimes the words people choose detract from communication.  That's what happened there.

The topic of the alternatives to the blurry face had never been brought up here, as far as I had ever seen.  It was different.  Since the purpose of ladies' websites is to promote their services, and originality works in their favor, I thought a discussion of more special ways to obscure might inspire some to new ways to use it to their advantage.  

Die a thousand deaths son and stop romantisizing reality. Like oil, diamonds, wheat, and grain... pussy ranks highest on the human food chain for consumption.

Some I'm never likely to see.

It's not that I'm romanticizing it, but that you're lessoning it to give yourself a feeling of being in control of it.  

A feeling is a delusion that might or might not signify something in reality.  Neither of us knows for sure which one conforms to reality better.  

But it's my dream, as what you see is yours, and I could live mine only as I feel it, and only as I could best interpret the meaning from them.  

BTW, I'll only die one death-- contrary to expectations.  If it ranks "highest" it's not a commodity, btw.

Sorry Zin, so much pussy, so little cash.
