Incorrect information

Per a recent review on an unfortunate local site that is predatory and breeds danger in the community, I feel it necessary to state  I am not really accepting many new clients in the Columbia area.  My single ad (not various random ads created without my knowledge or permission by webcrawlers) posted on a very reputable site, is mostly for the purposes of  my  various  travels  and to allow my former clients to contact me if they wish to do so. If you’ve been in Columbia and are just recently contacting me, you were clearly looking at Backpage and other low-end sites. No judgement, but low-end does not exist here nor do I wish to see any clientele who have heavily relied on low-end sites. I’m getting really tired of all of the ridiculous texts I get that say nothing at all and plan to screencap them here (with numbers redacted, of course) when I get a chance in order to demonstrate why I hardly even look at my phone anymore. Texting me and saying “hey,” “rates?”, “are you available?”, means you’ve done NO research and are unlikely to go through my rigorous screening process, thus you are wasting my time. I do not acknowledge texts or calls from people I do not know. And all electronic communications must remain 100% professional. I’ve pretty much moved on to another amazing chapter of my life and this is incredibly part-time for me. I wish I could I say I’m surprised at the number of entitled communications I get (mostly texts) assuming that I’m just always available and ready to rock and roll. No. I’m not in a position where I need to jump at every appointment offered to me and I think that being desperate and greedy are incredibly dangerous things when it comes to the potentially high-risk stakes we’re all playing with. IF I choose to see clients, it will be at my discretion. End rant. And thank you for reading! You can now follow me on Twitter for more frequent updates and pics.

Xxxo,

Hello Darlings!

Sorry for being a bit MIA on this front. I have been so so busy in the most amazing ways. I bought some houses, my bakery stuff is going places, and my doggies are doing amazing in our new place despite the insane backlog in surveyors preventing me from putting up a fence.

My studio has changed places to a much more centrally located and very very private location in Columbia. I have limited availability and am only selectively accepting new clients.

SC Donations:
300/hr
400/90 min
500/2 hrs
Longer appointments may be available upon request, but I am generally not available for public outings and I am never available overnight as I cannot leave my dogs for an extended period. Sorry!

I have had some queries lately in terms of making a wish list or asking me what my favorite stores are or how contributions can be made to all of my home renovation projects. I’m looking into some options for such a thing and am still continuing my research into a “real” site. I can’t exactly ask my bakery business/canna b&b web person to throw in an extra site for this hahahahahaha! The fact is, I hate coding but I hate site hosting templates more so I’ve kind of been stalling out of sheer procrastination for making my brain speak html and css and java and whatever other script has come out since I passed that class in undergrad. I do want to incorporate a blog format for part of the site as I really like being able to have a platform to speak directly to you! On that note, I recently started up an Emma Banks official Twitter! I don’t even social media personally, but my other business ventures have resulted in an appreciation for social networking on certain platforms. Feel free to follow me there for quick updates, random posts, some new or more candid pics, thoughts, articles, etc.

I’m just going to stick a few “wish list-y” things here (will also post on Twitter) to answer any inquires I’ve recieved and to make the information available to those who like to bring a gift. Please understand that additional gifts are NEVER expected, but always appreciated as I think it is just the sweetest thing ever when someone does something unexpectedly nice for others or show that you care with a special token of appreciation. I personally prefer rare potted plants to a bouquet of roses, so for me the attention to detail means a lot more than the monetary value of any gift. Here goes:

Yellow tulips are my favorite flowers. Yellow roses are pretty amazing as well. I love hydrangeas and hibiscus.

Rare potted plants (orchids, succulents, dwarf fruit, carnivorous plants, etc.)

Lowe’s and Home Depot gift cards (home renovations are super pricey, so these are incredibly helpful!)

Victoria Secret gift cards (or my sizes are 32DDD/34DD, sm-DD, medium or small in panties, medium in all apparel)

Car wash coupons (I love to keep my car clean but I forget to do it if I don’t buy myself the coupon booklet things with like 5 washes in them)

Specialty dog treats/organic and non-gmo dog treats (just as long as it’s not from China, they’re allowed to eat it ;-)

Sea Monkies/Worm composting bins/Hanging-frame beehive (minus the bees ;-) -I’m totally serious. I’ve always loved the sea monkey habitats and I love to garden. Worms and bees are amazing for that!

If you have skills in contracting/carpentry/any major home system work and want to help me knock some non-lead-laden walls out/back, I would love your assistance and expertise! Plus I have waaaaay more projects than just knocking back some walls. I have a fair amount of knowledge when it comes to various home systems and can do all the carpentry basics like stick frame, drywall, tile floors and backsplashes, painting, landscaping and irrigation, etc. Certainly I’m not the Incredible Hulk, though, and I generally need a helping/lifting hand. If you know plumbing, structural, cabnetry, wells (my well pump for my irrigation system is bad and my pressure tanks need to be replaced due to rust), surveying or arial topography, fencing (not the sport ;-), or simply wanna help with some yard work, I will very likely take you up on that offer! Please understand that I don’t barter with services I provide. If you wish to offer help in this manner and expect something in return, I am more than happy to pay you for your expertise rather than go any other route if you catch my drift.

Any power or hand tools in good, working condition. Off the top of my head I know I need a compressor, nail gun (frame and the smaller one, stapler), a good cordless drill and nut driver, chainsaw, gas weed eater and blower/vac, wheelbarrow, etc. Also, any good 2x4’s/6’s or fence posts, post-hole digger, plywood, fence panels...wood, basically.


I definitely need to touch on the insane political weirdness that has been cast upon our little world here. While this is an area generally shrouded in secrecy for the sake of discretion, let's all remember this quote:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Trade Unionist

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Seriously guys, we may not be talking socialists and jews these days, but there is no denying things are getting weirder and weirder. I simply ask that if you find yourself in a position to educate just one person about the plight of the american sex worker, please do so. We are in danger as a population and we need help to stay safe. I assume you want to stay as safe as possible, too. For that, we need as many voices behind us as possible. We are not criminals for this work and you are not criminals for visiting ladies like me. Its time we told "the man" to keep his moral objections to himself and stop trying to lock us up or publicly shame us for consensual acts between adults. Also, please vote for legal pot because that’s really important too.

Okay, I’m really tired. Time for bed! Happy 4th of July, y’all!

xxxo,
Emma

P.S. LIVE P.D. is government propaganda. STOP watching it, PLEASE! Remember the show Cops? That was entertainment. What this show is is an idolization of the over-militarization and police state we as so-called "free" americans live in. It is not funny for law enforcement to demand ID's from any random person walking down the street. It is NOT okay that we are continuing to harass and jail people for non-violent drug crimes for private prisons to make money off of. Enough is enough.
