Essex is a very large county, but I can confirm there is very little talent in the Southend area.
It is indeed, but I have to say that in the areas I've searched via Adultwork, I've seen very little or real talent. And it tends to all be very overpriced and lots of women well past their sell by date. Some would call them delusional, in fact.
I'd rather try my luck in London, Kent or Surrey. Unless, that is, you wish to use one of the agencies. I've also noticed as far as the Southend area is concerned, they're either very rough looking, facially or I notice a lot of what I'd call fake looking profiles. But then again, Southend is one big toilet anyway. I can't say I have fond memories of being beside the seaside there! Perhaps that's why a lot of the women look rough as fuck. I could say the same for other seaside towns, such as Hastings.. aka Hackney on Sea.
