I sell print and web advertising to escorts so they can attract clients. I have to deal with the idiosyncrasies of these escorts on a daily basis, so to keep from going crazy, I blog about all the trials and tribulations associated with my bizarre occupation. I'm what "they" call an adult advertising rep in the business world,

A Day in the Life of the Funtime Salesman

<p style="margin: 0px; font: 10px Verdana"><em><strong>The following was written for GALLERY MAGAZINE almost 15 years ago, just after I got my first job selling ads to "bodyworkers." It's a little upbeat as I wasn't quite as jaded then as I am now. But it works as a second introductory piece to give you a good idea of exactly what I do for a living. I might add that the publication switched editors in the middle of this project and it never came to print...nor did I ever get a kill fee from the boss (what a dick)! Regardless, I still like it as much as the day I wrote it. And I don't always feel that way about my efforts viewed in retrospect.</strong></em></p>

Not understanding the nature of the business, I guess she assumed that anybody in my line of work would speak with a "dese," "dems," and "doze" kind of accent.
