PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT

Sometime last week I happened to stumble upon an interesting link to the Jung Typology Test I believe the last time I took this test was before entering graduate school so I decided to retest myself to see if my “type” has changed. Additionally I can’t think of a better way for potential suitors to get a good idea of who I really am, with the Callie façade set aside.

Just as before I am Type ESTP (Extraverted-Sensing-Thinking-Perceiving). According to the Keirsey Analysis that means that I am an “Artisan Promoter” and interestingly enough some of the public figures that I have always admired and been inspired by (Eva Peron, J.F.K., Donald Trump and Madonna) are also Artisan Promoters.

Snippets of my analysis: The Artisans called Promoters are not only concrete in speech and effective in achieving their goals; they are also enterprising and expressive in their social interactions and they have no hesitation at all in approaching strangers. Promoters make up approximately ten per cent of the general population, and if only one adjective could be used to describe them, "resourceful" would be an apt choice.

Life is never dull around Promoters. Witty, clever, and fun, Promoters live life with a theatrical flourish which makes even the most routine events seem exciting. Not that they waste much time on routine events. Promoters have a knack for knowing where the action is. They always seem to have tickets to the "hot" show or "big" game (or can get them when others can't), and they usually know the best restaurants, where the headwaiters are likely to call them by name.
To be sure, Promoters have a hearty appetite for the finer things of life, the best food, the best wine, expensive cars, and fashionable clothes. And they are extremely attentive to others and smooth in social circles, knowing many, many people by name, and knowing how to say just the right thing to most everyone they meet. None are as socially sophisticated as Promoters, none as suave and polished-and none such master manipulators of the people around them.

So if you find yourself with some free time take the test by clicking HERE it’s only 72 questions all Yes or No and should take less than 5 min! If you are a potential client (or even a suitor that I have seen before) feel free to Email Me with your results; I would love to read more in depth about your personality.

MID YEAR RESOLUTIONS

Ever since I can recall I’ve been one to march to the beat of my own drum, so instead of simply making resolutions once at the start of every year I make it a point to challenge myself more regularly (usually twice a year, sometimes even quarterly).

So around July 1st I start reflecting on the first half of the year and naturally find myself re-evaluating the goals that I set for myself in January. Of course I also challenge myself with a few new aspirations and this year my plate is pretty full.

I think that along with devoting more time to my passion for travel photography my main mid-year resolution this year is to refocus my attention on the charity and philanthropy work that sadly had to take a back a back seat during graduate school.

I’ve been reading a lot about “Project Red” which assists the Global Fund to fight AIDS, I recently upgraded my American Express to the AMEX Red which gives 1% of your total spending to help fight AIDS in Africa. I’ve yet to get my first “REDtreat” which are bonuses for spending a pre-determined amount on the card; I’m hoping it will be a spa
certificate like the site mentions…. Who knows?

Since my old Ipod crashed and burned maybe I should look into getting the Red Ipod Nano. I’m assuming it would be best for the gym given that it is so lightweight, and of course a part of the profits goes to help fight against AIDS in Africa which kind of helps rationalize owning 2 Ipods.

Death OF AN IPOD

Two weeks ago my ipod died… No, I didn’t drop it while running on the treadmill nor did it burst into flames but it started making this awful grinding sound and even when I tried to plug it in I got this disturbingly Sad Apple Icon Face.

So I “Got my Google on” and found the troubleshooting website what a marvelous world we live in where the answer to (almost) any problem can be found online. Of course I had to hop over to the Apple Online store as I have been meaning to upgrade to the Black and Red U2 Video Ipod.

Surprisingly the earth did not stop spinning, sure my jog through central park will be lacking the sounds of The Fray's latest single but for the first time in a long time I had the chance to listen to the sounds of the city that I love so much. You would expect the sounds of honking horns mixed with the sweet chirping birds to be quite a cacophony but I found the blend to be surprisingly melodic and soothing.

So I am thinking of taking this experiment further maybe taking the time to purge more of the technological devices that I have become so reliant upon… I’ll keep you posted!

TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG?

As this is my first foray into maintaining an online presence (I hope to have my website officially launched by July) I wasn’t sure on exactly which website features I wanted to include on my new WEBSITE.

So I decided to take a look at the websites of some other top companions and I realized a few things:
1. While an availability calendar is helpful I only see 1 client per week and don’t “tour” so there’s no point for me to be a slave to updating an online calendar. I have enough trouble remembering to update my Outlook Calendar, lol.
2. I wanted to add a wish list so I no longer have to come up with suggestions for gifts when a suitor asks me what kind of items he can surprise me with. Note to self: Start thinking of items to add to wish list.
3. I really wanted to include some sort of journal or blog, I really felt that I learned so much more about the personalities and nuisances of the women who included some sort of blog on their sites and that is exactly how I want my clients to feel!

To expand on the last thought, I have found that the deepest connections I have encountered have come from those individuals who have taken the time to get to know me in depth prior to an encounter. Little did I realize when I started writing my website content and include a personalized introduction that it would become my first entry in this blog. So I am hoping that those of you who choose to follow my blog will gain the insight needed to ensure I am the perfect companion for you!

I find that I do most of my blogging in the airport or on the airplane so I’m not going to promise any specific frequency to my blog entries, sometimes I may add 3 entries in one week and then won’t add anything for 2 weeks. So keep checking back, or sign up to receive an email notification each time I update my blog and of course feel free to add your comments as well!

Mrs

For those of you that know me you’re most like familiar with my experiences as an elite travel companion over the past year and half. Earlier this year I was on an extended weekend date in Las Vegas when I decided to surprise my suitor by inviting a local companion to join us for a few hours of fun.
Because my clients were always personally referred to me by other clients I wasn’t aware that the online procurement of companionship was such a common occurrence. But in my search for a local Vegas playmate I came across a remarkable girl who ended up being a wealth of knowledge. While at dinner Chase educated myself and my suitor about the structure of this online community (the Escort Photo “Malls”, Review Boards, etc) and stressed that having a personal website was paramount if one wanted to maintain an online presence.

She said she that she would be willing to design a website for me if I could provide the intellectual content and photos! So I took a few months to write out everything that I wanted my website to say and she began to construct the technical design of the site. The site is still a work in progress but since currently the only readers of my blog are suitors that I have seen before I don’t mind giving my friends a sneak peak of my new WEBSITE!

I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the new site so feel free to Email Me I plan to announce the official launch date as we get closer to finalizing everything so keep checking back!
