Unfortunately I never actually met Lauren. Please read on to see the reason for this negative..
I've been wanting to see Lauren for a while but have never seemed to be able to get across to Birmingham on the days she's worked. However on her most recent tour I was free so I messaged mid/late afternoon to see if she had any availability that day. It was a long shot because I know she gets booked up quick, but to my surprise she sent a friendly reply about an hour later saying she was free. Excellent start because the general consensus is her comms can be quite poor and she's difficult to pin down.
Anyway I replied asking for a certain time and waited patiently for a reply (bear in mind it was an hour between Lauren replying to my initial message and me actually reading it and sending a 2nd message) I didn't receive a reply within an hour so I assumed she was busy, however when I checked, the email I'd sent had been read (and obviously ignored?!) within half hour. Because of this I sent another friendly email explaining that I needed confirmation by a certain time to give me enough time to get ready and drive to Birmingham. This email was read within 1 minute of being sent and again ignored!!
I waited another half hour or so to give her time to respond but alas, nothing arrived. So at this point I gave up the idea of seeing her.
If she'd sent a quick email saying there was no availability anymore due to the hour it took me to reply to her first email, I'd have thought fair enough. Or if my emails had remained unopened I'd have assumed she'd become busy and again, thought fair enough. But to reply to an email about a potential booking then read further emails and not have the decency to reply shows a complete disregard for people's time and effort in booking her. It takes 10 seconds to fire off a quick response explaining there's no availability or that something has come up etc.
So in conclusion, I'm sure I'd have had a great time with Lauren had I been lucky enough to get a booking. But she clearly doesn't have her shit together when it comes to booking or she simply doesn't care less about messing people around. I'm sure leaving this review will blow any chance of me ever seeing her but after this performance I'd say she isn't worth the hassle anyway.
Disappointing..
