"whats in a name?" said a great poet....
It came to mind reading a new thread about our handle origins that a year ago on December 6th 2008 I turned over a new leaf and took on a different name.
Before i went as Chantilly...it was assigned by a wannabe-pimp when I was just starting out trying to go with an "agency" after answering a Kijiji add looking for new girls.
I remember it was a week or so before the infamous OC transpo bus strike. I had quit my retail job to further pursue escorting full time when I met with a Toronto agency and was "assigned" more or less the name "Annessa"...I kinda hated it at first,...actually no, I REALLY hated it! I wanted a fun name...something that ended in a "ee" sound....Little did I know that I would have stuck with this name that had grown on me like a new best friend even after leaving that agency and going indi again....and I'm so happy that I did (keep the name AND leave that agency, haha)
I cant comment on any other SPs but the ideas that we use what are perceived as "fake" names always makes me cringe slightly.....as Annessa has become every bit a part of me as my birth-name has....just under different circumstances, lol....i even turn around when I hear someone call out "Vannessa!" to another stranger on the street!
That being said I think its prety common knowledge that all us SPs use aliases ....any interesting stories, ladies, about how you feel about the differnt name-tags we;ve had? past names and why you decided to junk them.
Like I said, I was "Chantilly Wilde" before (the wannabe-agent guy said I looked like a "chantilly"...yah...ok...and apparently I was someday going to be in a Texas porn so I needed a last name..*rolls eyes*) I definitely found that certain clients who saw me under that name treat Chantilly a lot differently than they do Annessa....but then again, maybe thats just the fact that Annessa doesnt deal with the same BS as Chantilly did, lol
