Hum I do show my smile…
I do know that my old pictures were less blurred and I didn’t realize it myself until someone pointed it out and I’m trying to blur it harder.
I personally do it not because I’m scared my family will discover it (they kind of know it) but mainly for the border reasons and that those pictures can stay years on the internet and I don’t want that to impact in my civ work or my future in general.
But for sure now I will think more about it !
Sorry for my ignorance and sorry for my clients who won’t be able to see my smile with my red lips again
!
And narcissistic temptation?…..
I heard some girls just do it to bring some curiosity to the clients. And also I heard it’s harder for the boarder to arrest black girls because the system is less efficient on us so some will play around with the blur by blurring just their nose lol.
I personally know the system will work on me. I have so many distinguished features. Even a few weeks ago a client recognize me from my hairstyle and body at a party lolll (scary)!
Are you all using the same software to blur? If so, I'm guessing it's easier to reverse engineer when you know the software that was used to blur it, in the 1st place. Just an educated guess, as I am not smart enough to actually know how to do it.
They are a few apps that we can use to blur.
i heard that the IP address (not sure if that’s what’s it’s called) of the picture can be traced and easily reversed unless you post a screenshot of your picture. Makes it more difficult to reverse it.
When I knew it it broke my heart; I deleted a few things but unfortunately it’s already somewhere on internet.
I was mostly comparing today with ten-years ago. I have seen a major change in the blur between when I first started in 2014, and the last few years with the growing popularity of social media. Blurs were thicker and more covering, I don't remember seeing only a nose blurred or a thin blur where the facial expressions could be seen.
But our family would recognize us easily despite the blur, especially with the kind of blur I see these days, family and friends know us beyond our facial features.
Yeah you are right!
sometimes I forget that I’m a baby SW. hihi
But I’m getting a little concerned now that I know it’s so easy to un blur my face. I have no chance with the boarder… will drop my American dream
Many providers are showing their faces and are not stopped at the border. So it is definitely not the only variable for custom agents to cross-reference our ads with real-world information!But I’m getting a little concerned now that I know it’s so easy to un blur my face. I have no chance with the boarder… will drop my American dream

Would the border actually have the means to use your ad picture to be able to know who you are when you cross?
Yeah it’s not the only one. It’s the easiest one to find tho. Also :
1- the girls may be American citizen
2- most of them have already a history of going to the US so the boarder didn’t think to search on the internet to find information about them. Unless they get suspicious. (Ex: you travelling a little too often and at the same place).
3- twitter is less private than instagram. Literally you can still find a picture you deleted a few days ago in your twitter feed and people can see your tweets right on google without logging in.
Yes if they want to go that far.
that’s why some girls delete as much information they can find about themselves and hide their websites and social media for a few weeks before crossing the border.
the more you expose yourself online; the easier it is to get you caught. But without social media most of us don’t have enough credibility for potential clients. So it’s tricky !
Edit : sometimes they go as far as finding old ads of 10years ago. Or if they don’t find anything to actually stop you they will still ban you because it’s too « suspicious » your traveling itinerary. They can ask to have access to your phone etc.
It's interesting to hear some of the inner workings and thought process, you ladies have to work through on a daily basis.
I'll apologize in advance if this has been asked before (too many pages!), but what are the biggest pros/cons of working at an agency vs being an Indy? I know the obvious major difference is the pay, but the sacrifice is the additional time spent screening/scheduling/etc, with the caveat that you have more control over who are acceptable clients.
I know I have met some agency SP's who could easily be Indy's, but chose not to. And also some Indy's who are not well prepared to handle all that comes with being self employed/managed.

But you don't use your real names, just trying to get my head around as to how they would know it is you when you drive across the border.
I had a friend, who got into trouble with the law as a juvenile, and was turned away at the border. I assume the ppl who are most affected, are ones who have a record, or had their identity flagged with suspicious activities. This is also probably why SP's are afraid to report any criminal activities to the police.
You can message me if you need more details. The "IP thing" you mentioned can be circumvented by this method as well.
On a sidenote, blurring your face can also result in other SPs using your photo for their ads, which sadly seems to be the case for you. (It took me 3 minutes to find this)
We have to give our ID and real-world info to almost every advertisement platform we use. Travelling patterns, persons you travel with that are flagged already, advertising platforms collaborating, we're not sure but I think it's simply a blend of everything.
I can’t really say the pro or cons because most agencies in Montréal rejected my application to work with them saying that they don’t have the clientele for girls like me.
But by seeing how far I have grown by being independent I don’t think I will be interested in working for an agency or massage parlour soon.
I had a side chat with @Alisha Cantaloupe and I think it is safe to say that SPs need to be more careful in general if they value anonymity. Stay safe out there everyone.
Here’s a couple interesting ones
Does the industry have any go-to ‘operating’ solutions for Indy/Agency/MP?
I.E. organized/sharable schedule platform, client/payment/expense records, universal blacklist, etc. Or is everyone out here really just using excel sheets, WhatsApp groups, and their stock OS schedule app?
Also, for SWs who actually declare their high income — since cash businesses are the most likely to be audited, what are the more common ways it’s done to come out squeaky clean?
