Starting out as a sex worker - The dress that made me an escort

One of the first things any escort does when she starts as a sex worker is to buy a dress. It doesn't always have to be black, as in my case, depending on the person; it could be a red dress, a shiny sequined dress, or an elegant evening dress. Maybe not even a dress... But you can ask any escort to buy a dress. Buenos Aires escortWe all have a story about our first investment in work attire.

When I started working as a escort in Capital FederalI didn't have much cash, much less in the bank. I had no fixed address and constantly asked myself, how could I transform myself into an attractive and desirable person without the resources to make it happen?

An escort must be sexy, elegant and eye-catching, and I hardly had any dresses to go out in. I had spent several years behind a desk and most of my wardrobe consisted of jeans, shirts and jackets. It seemed impossible for me to make a sudden transformation from an office woman to an escort. femme fatale.

A few days before starting as a sex worker, I set out to get an outfit that could make me look like a sex industry professional. I wandered the aisles of Abasto Shopping, but I couldn't afford any of the luxury boutiques, in fact, I could barely afford some of the cheaper fashion options.

However, the things I saw in the cheaper shops just didn't fit my style. I wanted something that would surprise my customers, that would make them feel like they were in the presence of someone worthy of both their time and the fee I was charging.

Desperate but determined

I ended up in a thrift store, and it was amazing! There were whole aisles of dresses, of all cuts and colours. Some of the clothes were labelled by the designer, some even had the labels still attached, donated as new.

Rummaging through the shelves, I remembered how stylish people dress in Buenos Aires compared to Santa Rosa (where I had just moved from). I mean, if people were throwing this kind of stuff away, I could only imagine what they must still have in their wardrobes.

I had hopes of getting what I was looking for to start as a sex worker as I moved from one hanger to the next. My fingers flew from dress to dress, and with each one I passed the fear of not finding what I wanted grew greater and greater.

Almost fortuitously, my gaze fell on a slim black cocktail dress with a beaded front. It had a lace back, perfectly sexy. My first reaction was: Is it too short?and my second reaction: I want it!

The dress of my dreams

I went to the changing rooms and placed it on top of me. As I stood in front of the mirror, examining my body from all directions, I suddenly noticed a change in my demeanour. I stood up straight with my shoulders back, and for the first time in my life, thanks to the right dress, I could feel, not only sexy, but incredibly confident. The feeling of security remained even after I took it home and put it in a paper bag.

And when I got into it the next day to start as a sex worker and went on my first date as an escort, I was buoyed by an overwhelming feeling of doing the right thing. As if this was something I had been looking forward to doing all my life. My first booking was fantastic... and I think I owe it to the sexy assurance of finding the perfect dress.

Currently...

Several years later, thanks to that black dress, my financial situation improved considerably, as did the rest of my life. I bought a large part of my wardrobe thanks to my new job, but from time to time I still wander the aisles of some second-hand shops to see if I can find something that suits me.

As any other escort can tell you, starting out as a sex worker with the right dress can make all the difference.
