The word “escort” actually describes someone who accompanies someone else to different functions. London escorts often have to come to business dinners with their clients or visit the opera and other high-end parts. This means they must be well-versed in current affairs and the arts. This takes a lot of time and training, which is an expensive affair.
An escort is also supposed to look the part. She is expected to wear good-quality clothing and incredibly fashionable underwear. Her appearance has to be perfect, with not a strand of hair or an eyelash out of place.
So how much does all of this cost?
An escort must have at least one formal and one casual outfit. The traditional outfit, such as dresses for balls and galas, can cost several hundreds if not thousands of pounds, and her casual outfit should be £500 as well. Regarding her underwear, she is likely to shop at places like Agent Provocateur, where matching lingerie will cost at least £150. Of course, she will also have to purchase designer shoes, which range from £150 to £500 and stockings or tights, which can be around £15 a pair for good quality ones. She will also likely want a nice bag to match her outfit, easily costing up to £1000.
Then, she has to look after herself. A 24hr escort, even if she is not working, will need hydrating day and night cream, good quality shampoos and conditioners and body butter. This will all add up to at least £80 per month.
Regarding her appearance on a date with a client, she will need mascara, eyelash extensions, eye shadow, eyeliner, foundation, powder, highlighter, bronzer, blusher, lipstick and lip liner. Additionally, she will need an expensive type of nail varnish. Again, this will come to at least £50, although it will likely last her slightly longer than a month, depending on how busy she is.
Most escorts will also have acrylic nails at around £50 every three weeks, as well as a spray tan at about £35 every two weeks. Then, she will likely have a gym membership at around £50 per month to keep her body in shape.
Finally, a 24-hour companion is committed to her education, allowing her to have relevant conversations with her high-end clients. It is usual for a single course in any current affair or the arts to cost around £160 for six weeks.
Being an escort is quite an expensive business. Considering this and the fact that escorts deliver a fantastic service, it is no surprise that they charge a lot of money as well. Whether or not you believe it to be worth it is a personal choice.
