I posted a glowing mini-review of TS Rachel earlier this week but neglected at the time to say anything about the agency that represents her, Swedish Harmony.  To be honest, I am one of those US hobbyists who has historically disliked agencies for several reasons, including their typically impersonal and haughty attitude.  But Swedish Harmony is nothing like that.  From my first email contact with Mila, I was treated with respect and interest, as we discussed the logistics of my appt with TS Rachel.  We also talked about interesting subjects such anti-TS prejudice and the habits of "punters" in Europe. So kudos to Mila and SHI, which I will certainly use again if the opportunity knocks.  TSAG  

PS Here's a Q for the TS hobbyists.  I think of agencies for GG providers but not for TS (Swedish Harmony being the exception though Rachel is its only TS provider).  Are there other agencies who represent TS providers which are worth using?

Here are the links to who/what TS Alter Ego is talking about:

TS Rachel (TER Profile) -  http://www.theeroticreview.com/reviews/show.asp?ID=84413
Swedish Harmony International (website) -  http://www.swedishharmony.com/home.html
TS-Rachel (on SHI) - http://www.swedishharmony.com/stars/13/103.html

There have been several posts in this forum re: TS Rachel – I leave it for you to find them (in the “I can’t do all your work for you” category).  

I did a search on the TER database of TS profiles and found 29 that had been marked as represented by an “agency” going back to 2001.  Looking more closely at the profiles with reviews from the last two years, it would seem only Rachel and TS Angie in London are truly represented by an agency:

TS Angie - http://www.theeroticreview.com/reviews/show.asp?id=79129
A1- Asian Oriental Escorts - http://www.a1-asian.co.uk/gallery.htm

A1-AOE’s website claims to represent five pre-op and one post-op TS.  The lady named Ginger I have seen run an independent ad on Eros in Boston several months back but I cannot recall under what name.

Generally I agree with TS Alter Ego – it seems very rare for a TS to be listed by an agency, but I for one am glad to see such an apparently quality outfit pick up such a beautiful TS to represent.  I too am not a big fan of agencies – I really don’t know what an agency does that someone couldn’t do for themselves.  I suppose they can manage advertising, handle bookings and perhaps provide an additional degree of safety by performing some kind of screening for both client and escort.  I am generally not attracted to them because of my perception of an impersonal and/or “high volume” nature.  I am also somewhat skeptical of any additional safety they may really provide to either party – I suppose, like anything, it depends on the agency and whether or not they are reputable.

I would be very interested if anyone could point us to additional agencies representing TS ladies in the U.S. or internationally.

FYI - The picture below is of Angie from her Eros ad in London.

the value of using an agency may be greater when the provider is TS than when she is not.  This board is full of discussions about beautiful and not-so-beautiful TS providers whose performance and attitude are unacceptable (e.g., rudeness, transparent disinterest, no-shows) in ways that would never be accepted if the provider were non-TS.  The hobbyists complain but the TS providers dont care; they just find other saps or, even worse, the hobbyist goes back because the provider is hot and he cant find any better.  One solution could be a few very good agencies who would insist on decent and reliable behavior. IMO if such agencies could find even a couple of TS providers even approaching Rachel in personality and quality, TS hobbyists would be grateful and show their appreciation.
