External Link/Members OnlyIn theory a parlour is a house with multiple escorts, an agency helps book and supply multiple girls (but with no house), and an independent is just a girl booking and working on her own. The person running an agency or parlour is called a pimp. In Scotland, a parlour is called a sauna.
But pimps lie. So they might run a house with 3 rooms, place ads on AW for independent 'Alice', 'Bobbie' and 'Cat', but send you 'Dorcas or 'Ella' when you arrive. And if you go back the next week, you get 'Frankie' or 'Gina'. And yes, then the pictures don't match. When this happens, you immediately post a negative review on UKP and let us all known. And your reward is our best wishes.
(and yes I am simplifying - some agencies have an in-call place, and HoD is slightly different, so is TPC...whatever.)
To avoid this, just find independents who have positive reviews on UKP. (OK even this is not certain, but odds of a real independent -and a good fuck- are much greater).
