She’s a single mother of three. She’s 40-years of age. She’s a size 16. She’s suffering the recession.
Sounds like anyone of us?
And she’s a call girl.
Bam! There you go…
Scarlett O’Kelly was hit hard by the recession, she’s finding it hard to find a job and, like so many other families, she thinks it’s difficult to pay the bills.
But Scarlett has taken a novel approach to bringing cash into the house. She did what so many women would balk out, she took the bold step and decided to sell herself as an escort.
Scarlett (needless to say this is a pseudonym) said it was a recession-induced decision to fund her lifestyle when all other options failed.
Now we can read Scarlett’s experience of being a call-girl, and she doesn’t hold back with details ladies, in her book ‘Paying For It’.
The tag-line reads, “How Turning Tricks Paid The Mortgage, Kept The Kids In Trainers And Gave Me Back My Life”.
The cover of Scarlett O’Kelly’s ‘Paying For It’ book.
“The key to my success as an escort was discretion: the men required it, I demanded it, and my whole life is dependent on the thin veil of obscurity that separates escort from the real me,’ she explains in the novel, which was released in Ireland as ‘Between The Sheets’ earlier this year.
Scarlett tells the story of how she lost her office job, her ex-husband’s working hours were cut and neither parent could afford to pay the maintenance bills.
The Irish woman said she aimed for a high caliber of clientele and charged €400 for 90 minutes introductory session and €300 for a 60-minute session.
And guess what? She enjoyed it. She said both the sex and secrets were arousing for her and she reveals a few explicit scenes in the novel too.
But she still claims to be a normal, Irish mum just ready to do what it takes to provide food for the family.
An extract reads;
“I am an ordinary mum getting on with life. I’m someone who you would comfortably chat to at the school gates – perhaps you have – or in the doctor’s surgery or while queuing at the post office and you would probably think I was a lovely lady.
“I am basically anyone who looks like a well-groomed, attractive, educated woman hitting forty. How I pay my mortgage, fund the children’s hobbies and interests and put food on the table may make me unusual, but I hope it doesn’t change who I am.”
Scarlett stresses the fact that she is a normal woman, she said; “I have stretch-marks, saggy boobs, the whole lot, I’m not skinny, I have a fair bit of weight, I’m roughly a size 16.”
“Everything in this book is real,” she said, “…my story, the stories of the men and the sex. It all happened.’
