Any suggestions for a first-timer in Los Angeles?

My recommendation is that you provide more info on what you like, type of girl, etc.  There are hundreds of TS girls in LA, so you ? won't get answered w/o more info on what you want out of a ts girl.  You may also want to do a little up front work, review some reviews, check out eros, etc then ask ? if you can't find the answers here.

First and foremost, she has to look and act like a woman. I want to feel I'm with a hot woman with a hard cock, rather than a skinny guy with tits.

Caucasion or Latina. A tan and tainlines are always a plus.

She must be patient. I'm sure I'm going to need some warming up, because I'm going to be nervous as hell.

She must be naughty but respectful. I want to hear "how good does that feel?" rather than hear "take it bitch."

She must be functional. I want to be the bottom. (I've been practicing).

I know I can just do a search, but I wanted your advice and the advice of others regarding who would be the best for a first-timer.

Thanks

Based on who is in LA now from Eros, I think I'd go with TS Veronika.  Very very cool, easy going, fun, probably has tan lines, fit body, nice breasts and will answer the door looking hot hot.
