INTERVIEW WITH A LUXURY ESCORT IN IBIZA
We meet in an emblematic terrace in the center of Ibiza. The weather is great and the afternoon light invites you to talk.
It is not the first time we see each other since Marie (Naturally it is not her real name, and for personal reasons is not the name with which she usually advertises) since she has been publishing for three seasons with us.
I imagined that She would come informal to the interview, but no. Hairdressing hairstyle, perfectly groomed nails, short black skirt and a matching blouse. On top, wrapped in a salmon halftime jacket and, of course, heels of the same color. Her bag, a Birkin says a lot about her. Elegant, paused, in very fine ways.
She could perfectly pass for a high executive, but Marie is not an executive but a luxury Escort.
A little over three years ago, she decided that the road to her dreams was to work on something that no father wants for their daughters, She was going to be Escort, and now, the good ones.
We wait until they serve us face to not have interruptions and take advantage of the wait to mark their conditions: No photos, no names and please delete the recording after transcribing the interview.
After a few minutes they serve us. The class with which she drinks the Ribera makes me feel out of place. She takes a sip and leave the mark of the gloss in the cup. Smile.
A wine, Is it what you usually take in the outcalls with your customers?
No, if it´s possible, I prefer to avoid alcohol. I like to control at every moment, although there are times when you have no choice and then, if you give me to choose I´ll ask for a good Champagne.
Champagne Do you have expensive tastes?
-Smile again- I'm an expensive girl. Of course I have expensive tastes.
Let's talk about you. What led you to the path of luxury companionship?
Pouf, said that way it sounds very heavy. Nothing takes you directly to this. They are a cluster of situations that make you choose this world. When you are 14 or 15 years old, being Escort is not something you have in mind. It's not a thing you dream about or you go home with and say to your mother, "Mom, I thought about it and I want to be Escort when I grow up." Not at all.
In fact I studied Fine Arts. My dream was to work in a museum.
So we are talking to a Licentiate.
Yes. I'm from Salamanca and there even the sheeps go to the University.
And what happened next? There are no museums in Salamanca?
- Again, she smiles. His smile is perfect and lets see a well-groomed mouth. - Of course there is, but what there is is a big crisis. So when I finished I only had two options, working with my family, which I did not, which I refused, and the other was to convince my parents that I was going to London to learn English, as it was.
So, you finish your career, take your things and go to London with the intention of learning English. What happened in London that changed your life?
Well nothing ... -There is an awkward silence of a few seconds- I do not know how to say it, because it is not that I joined with who should not, no, but working in a Pub I met a couple of girls who worked on this. The truth is that the girls were enviable. They moved a lot of money, they dressed in scandal, they were always with good guys ... I went out partying with them a couple of times and, Damn, they were the queens of the Mambo. They invited them, they had VIP passes everywhere, gosh, it was like a dream and, I do not know, I could be attracted to the way of life and make me think about it, but at that moment, that was not for me.
Then you go back to Spain, I guess to your parents' house, and what happens then?
Well, you leave with 24 years old and being a village girl and you come back with another mentality. Living with your parents does not please you anymore. You want your freedom, your independence. You want to live your life, but you realize that there you will not get anything. Do not get me wrong- She says- I do not mean you can not live a good life, but after a year out, working like crazy and seeing another kind of world, I knew I had to move.
And you choose Madrid as a starting point for your new journey, right?
Yes. I'm going to Madrid to share a flat with a friend from Salamanca and sending my curriculum everyday while I work as a waitress.
Why Madrid if you already had experience in London? I mean, was not it easier to go back to what you already knew and try to achieve something better there?
I thought about it. But London is very expensive. From the food to the house, and the truth is that I work there, as you are Spanish, or as a waiter or to wash in a restaurant. And the salaries are very low. So I moved to Madrid.
What happens is that when you search and you do not find anything you got burn. I even try to introduce myself to a couple of TV castings, Realities of cute girls, anyway, you know, "laughs" But nothing. And when I was about to throw in the towel and go home, I remembered, you know, the two girls I met in London and I thought, why not?
Fuck, it's my body and I do not hurt anyone. So I got my courage and I called them.
As far as I know they were not in London, right?
Right. They were here, in Ibiza. It was summer and according to them they made more money here in Ibiza than in England, so I collected my things and for Ibiza I came.
We are talking about Summer 2018, right?
Yes. It was the summer of 2018. I did not know Ibiza, nor did I know the whole party that was generated here. I arrived at the airport and there was Karen, in a rented white Mini to pick me up.
The first thing She asked me was if I had thought about it correctly. I answered yes, I was convinced. I was going to try and I was going to sack. So it was.
How was your first time as Escort?
The truth is that she was scared. She pauses, and takes another sip of wine. She was as if she were going to steal a bank. Nervous not, the following. A client of Lydia, the other girl from London, had a party and wanted girls. So they put me in the bag. The fourth was a Russian girl who lived with them. The plan was that they would come looking for us, we would go to the private one of an album and then to what would emerge.
I was so nervous that I thought about backing out, but I said to myself, "Come on, let's go, some other guy you've thrown for less."
I was borrowed. From clothes to shoes. It was the only one of the 4 that did not know anything because they had not passed my photos since I did not have Book. But when we arrived, I calmed down.
What happened then?
Well that being hysterical happens to be flippant. I was in Ibiza in a private, watching the party from above and I felt the most. And the best thing is that I expected that we had hired some slobbery grandfathers and it was not like that. They were 6 nice guys. Guapetes, elegant and you could tell they had pasta to bore. But above all they were educated. The truth is that I did not feel like a Slut or anything like that.
After a while, one of them started to fix on me and we started talking. The situation was super comfortable, really. We dance, we talk -In English, it qualifies- since they were Americans and in the end, that's it.
How come that? - I laugh.
Well, when the party was over I was returning home with € 3,500 more than I had when I had left. All for a night of party ended perfectly.
€ 3500 for one night is your standard rate?
No - Smile again- the agreement was € 3000. The other 500 gave me a tip. But the prices are variable. You propose a price based on what you see you can get the guy out. You do not charge the same to a Spaniard as to a Russian because you know that the Russian is going to leave whatever it takes if he likes you.
Russians, Americans, Spaniards ... Who are the best customers?
It depends. For me, without a doubt, the Americans. They pay well, they respect you and are more aware of the party than any other thing. In fact I still have a relationship with my first clients since they come to Ibiza every year. I have had clients from half the world and the truth is that cultures are very noticeable. I have been with Arabs who treat you like a vase and do not even touch you, and with respect to the Spaniards, there are well-known and high-level people on the island who want to retire you, but they are not usually one-night-parties, but rather loose hours in which they escape of their wifes.
Mötley Cüe said in one of his songs dedicated to a Gigolo "Easy money for such a good deal". Do you think that it is easy money?
Not at all. It's a quick money, yes. But it is not easy money. Let's see- She gets serious for the first time in the interview- I have had relatively good luck, but I have companions who have had a bad time. I enter to say it in some way to experiment, but the girls who come by necessity ... God of mine, those swallow with what it takes. With time I have become more and more selective. I have a very good list of fixed clients, both here and abroad and that allows me to live very comfortably, but always behind a lie, and that is not pleasant.
Do you know in your family what you do?
Never. My father dies and my mother kills me. It's what I tell you. You live behind a lie. For my family I work with a luxury event company and that gives me the excuse that I can travel and that I earn good money, but you always have the fear of being discovered. This is not coming out of the closet. It is worse. Homosexuality is thanks to a very normalized god, but prostitution continues to be stigmatized.
We are going to finish, just a couple of more questions. The first on the forehead: I know perfectly that Escorting is something different, but would you legalize prostitution?
Yes, yes, yes and always yes. First because we would break the taboo that exists in Spain on the world of prostitution, we would end the mafias, we could declare what we won and I think we would feel more people.
And the last question. How do you see the season that is approaching us in Ibiza, the Summer of 2023?
-She reflects for a moment- I sincerely hope it is better than last year. 2018, when I started, it was spectacular. Then it has been falling little by little. There are hundreds of factors, but in my opinion everything has been due to the number of girls, many of them very young, who have come to Ibiza last summer with the idea of getting gold in a summer. And to more competition, worse prices. And suddenly you meet pretty girls who do not even have the room they are in, they see that the weekly payment is put on them and they go with a client for ridiculous rates. Last year speaking technically, there was a lot of professional intrusion - he laughs-
To me personally, as I said before, it does not affect me. I have my client list and when the campaign ends in Ibiza, I have work in London, Switzerland and Miami, which I do not lack.
Do we have time for one more? Have you thought about what you are going to do when you retire?
Of course I've thought about it. I have it very studied and I save every euro I earn, although you have to invest a lot in a profession like this. It's not buying nice panties and pulling, that's it. It is investing in you, in your body, in your image. I am an expensive girl and the packaging also counts. I'm sorry girls who are not clear and spend all they earn, because this has an expiration date, like yogurt, and if at a certain age you have not left this world, what awaits you already is that unpleasant.
We said goodbye and he promises to call me in May to announce himself, when he comes to Ibiza and stays for the 4 months that his season lasts here. For the moment I found a flat with 2 rooms, one to sleep and the other to work, since she is totally independent and does not want anyone in her house, as she has told me.
This is Marie, a Spanish escort of 173 cm, measures of heart attack, beautiful, classy, elegant and educated and this interview is a very brief summary of his life as a luxury companion.
From May she will be only for very solvent gentlemen in our Island of Ibiza.
