Experience Description: I finally took the plunge and went to see Monet. Her place is smokey, dirty and made me very uncomfortable. I traveled 390 minutes to see her and when i got to town she made me buy my own condoms. I obliged and went to her in-call location. She collected and kept using her phone. I felt like I was being set up. She told me to take off all my clothes and lie on her futon mattress thrown on the floor. I told her no thanks and gave her for her troubles. Unless you like dirty apartments, feeling like you are being setup for a fall then I would not recommend Monet of Colorado Springs.<br><br><i><b>Reply from Monet of Colorado Springs 19 June 09:</b><br>Hello,<br>I'm pretty much new to this site. I've probably only visited two, perhaps three times. The other morning, for reasons still unknown to me, I felt inclined to check out 'the scene' here on the board. I went to the asp review section, and was MORTIFIED when I read a negative review written about me. What I found to be MOST disturbing was the fact that the reviewer said things that were downrite fabricated and I'll be frank, I RESENT the fact that i have to take valuable time out of my life to defend myself against slander. I also found it strange that the reviewer had just left my location, I would never have thought it was humanly possible for him to have been able to post, when he claimed he lived so far away from my location. <br>This reviewer is NO GENTLEMAN! First of all he said that I'm 5'5"when in reality I'm 5'8" he said that I don't have tattoos, when I do and he said he traveled 390 minutes to get to my location! Pueblo is a mere 15-20 minute drive from my location. SMOKING DURING A SESSION! I state on my website that I am a smoker, but I do NOT partake while in the presence of my clients. And my home was by NO MEANS DIRTY! My living area was spotless and i will say that my kitchen was slightly messy, as i was in the process of cleaning it when he called me at 8am to set up his call and I had to stop in order to get prepared to meet with him. With regard to his statement that my home was smokey, I'll defend myself by saying that I have a 'working hobby' whereas I make and sell my own incense, soaps, lotions, bath salts and body oils. Long story short, the MORON was smelling incense that I had burning! What was accurate about his account of our meeting was that I did ask him if he would be kind enough to get trojans. He was early, which I mention on my website as being one of my pet peeves, anyway when he called from a short distance from my location, I made my request and was very apologetic and explained that in getting ready for our meeting I realized that I was not prepared. I also told him that I normally do not make such requests of my clients, which is true. In the past 11 years of escorting, I have made the request that was asked to the reviewer once, before the day I asked him and I admit that it was unprofessional and outside of the norm for me, but the alternative was to cancel our meeting and because he indicated that he was commuting from the Pueblo area, I did not want to disapoint him. When he arrived I greeted him and was taken aback and slightly uncomfortable with his very 'touchy' way of enteracting, as I prefer that my clients provide my service fee, prior to enteracting with me in such a way. I led him to the room that use to visit with clients and asked him for my service fee. We exchanged some small talk and he indicated that my request made him uneasy and he was uncertain about proceeding with our session. I once again apologized and asked if he would be kind enough to give me for cancelling, even though my website clearly indicates that my cancelation fees are and dollars. I shook his hand and began leading him to my front door, when he suddenly asked to use my bathroom and I showed him the way and let him make use of it. When he came out of the bathroom he indicated that he'd left the trojans in his vehicle because he had felt uneasy and asked me if he could retrieve the trojans and proceed on with our session. I said sure and he went to his vehicle, while he was outside I received an important call which I took. My call was brief and I was ending it just as he was returning from this vehicle. He finally paid my service fee and I led him back to the room as before. I instructed him to disrobe, which he began doing while we made small talk, I picked up my phone to start my mp3 player. I told him that I use my phone's mp3 player to play music. Without warning he said that he didn't want to do the session and began getting dressed. Once again I asked him for . I took it out of the money that he had paid me and returned the balance to him. I went ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty with regard to trying to make him feel at ease. I was really growing TIRED of his weirdness and EXTREME PARANOIA and was actually relieved to get him out of my home. Honestly, I believe that he was possibly hocked up on drugs because of his extreme paranoia, which was completely unwarranted. I also question his sobriety because his review was completely distorted. In total he was in my home for 15-20min. His decision to end the session was not a decision that was instantly made. My message to those out there that may or may not have read his review, I'll say this DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING that you read as being the gospel. I've been escorting in Colorado Springs for 11 yrs and I've always taken much pride in trying to provide quality professional entertainment, that is safe. Many years ago, and even now some clients were/are made targets by unscrupulous providers and it was unfortunate that many clients felt that they had no recourse.. Until more recently, providers held ALL THE POWER, but there has been a drastic shift in power with review sites growing in popularity. Now, clients can fight back, when providers don't deliver as indicated in advertising, etc. But now clients are sometimes abusing their power in a way that is NOT COOL. Last year I had a potiential client get angry with me because I would not indulge him in answering questions that are clearly answered on my website via text messaging. Because I refused to text message him, he threatened to write a bad review on me. THAT'S BULLSHIT! I don't have 'raving' reviews, but until recently I did'nt have any bad ones either. My mission is the same now as it was 11yrs ago. Stay alive, safe and provide the best service that I can to ALL patrons be they old, young, rich poor, black or white. For those of you that took the time to read this, I'd like to thank you for your time.
