"I require a 30% non-refundable deposit for appointments 1 hour and over & 50% for those outside of DC. "

 
The domain was just setup in August and the listing claims she is an elite in DC but no reference to any other ads or reviews.

She has one useless review dated Sep. and it's from a newbie who writes his first review. So much for being an elite in DC. lol

It's not cool to post his review here. You have a PM.

She's attractive but a little too pricey for unproven talent.

I contacted her before she had a site up because I saw another provider Tweet about her.

At time, she didn't have price up.  

Then she notified me of her website and price -- $600 per hour or $800 1.5 hours.

At which point I said 90 minutes would be very expensive and above my budget, especially when one takes into account no reviews and how much that is as a percentage or fraction of percent of my annual income.  

Then she essentially yelled at my by email for questioning her value.  

So, I'll pass.

Any updates on her?

Wondering if I should contact her, but my concern is that she has no reviews. No Cim is a deal breaker for me.

Something about her website doesn't sit well with me.  Sky high prices, tons of rules and guidance on what to say if you review her.  And something about the lighting in her pictures seems off.  Which makes me think maybe they're heavily photoshopped?  IDK but at the end of the day no thanks - there are too many awesome and lovely providers here.  If she builds up some reviews and maybe rethinks her pricing i might reconsider.

She tweeted about this post lmao

I don't get the whole 'TER guys are disgusting/cheap' narrative some companions seem to push. Clearly, Penelope West herself seems to visit these boards.

A couple of her friends in North Carolina, Abby Blythe and Felicity Harte, got exposed on Twitter a couple of months ago for creating new users on TER and writing fake reviews for each other pretending to be clients.  

I have met companions who charge $1500 for 2hrs who have reached out to me after dates requesting me to write a review. Several 'high end' companions post their touring schedules in the Ad Boards too. And quite a few companions also frequent the Regional Boards forums and respond to posts by users.
I guess the part a lot of companions seem to dislike is the VIP section of the reviews as it may be distasteful(and the exaggerated details of the date) , but the ONLY reason I'm on TER is to see the services being offered by various companions. I enjoy trips to Greece so when I find an ad for a touring companion, I look her up on TER to see what she offers. If she doesn't offer Greek, I'll just move on and find someone that does. It's not about being disrespectful, this is quite literally a business transaction so I'll just find a provider who offers what I'm looking for. The other lady I'm sure will have plenty of clients who are not interested in Greek and meet her anyway.  

I almost feel it's like a class thing, like some companions feel it's underneath their 'brand' to associate themselves with it.

I have seen her -- she's a firecracker and worth every penny. She's also very experienced. She also does not shave, which is an attraction to me. I look forward to seeing her again.

She took my deposit and then ghosted me.
