The photos are 97% me, 3% photoshop (used for hidden and blurred my face). Discretion and privacy are the number one priorities for everyone with whom I have contact, no all gentlemen want to meet with a woman whose face is over internet. I can not assit to a high class event if I am known companion.
My face is hidden and blurred because I'm a very private person; I have family and futures to consider. I have a life outside of this and I protect my privacy as much as I will protect yours. I won't send you pictures for this very reason. That being said, when you meet me you won't be disappointed.
Can I meet you for social events, drinks? Would you accompany me out to dinner or a night out on the town? Would you attend a special event with me such as a fundraiser or gallery opening? Would you come with me on a business trip or vacation?

My companionship is well-suited for distinguished Executive clientele who prefer discretion, confidentiality and privacy, This is one of the main reasons I do not participate on reviews.
A real polite, educate, respectful gentleman no use their time to partcipate in denigrate the women or other people in review culture. Real gentlemen are not so stupid for feel he need to read the fantasies to other strangers for choise a model companion. Those who need read about how is the private part of a woman or what kind of specific sexual activities a woman do are just vulgar men with empty brain in need of fantasies. Mi best clients, generous lovely gentlemen respetosos are not in those platforms and I love them.
