I wonder if a thread like this might be driving Diva prices up?
I dont think this thread is moving the needle in terms of the girls' pricing.
It's worth understanding how the agency market works. It's not Diva or Admiral etc etc that sets the prices.
There are generally 3 entities in the supply chain that bring all the goodies to you:
1. The girl
2. Sergei (pimps the girl)
3. Local agency i.e. Diva
(Sometimes a girl will bypass number 2 and deal direct with the local agencies / clubs).
Diva / Admiral etc promote the girls on behalf of Sergei and take 30%.
Sergei is the agent who moves the girls from their home town to the various European cities for the likes of Diva / Admiral to promote to their local customers. And/or Sergei places these girls in the various clubs / FKK's etc in Europe. I find lot of the best girls in London have worked in these clubs and learned their craft there.
There's obviously a lot of collaboration between the agents (2) and promoters (3). Think of a Venn diagram. Separate entities but at times they have feet in both camps.
The price for these girls is a market just like anything else is - the stock market for example. Hence the volatility.
The Romanians and the Russians dominate the supply chain in London as everyone knows.
All the Russian girls rocketed in price a year ago. That was a conscious move by the Russians.
The Romanians generally kept the same pricing structure. Thus both ends of the market are served.
The Russians have generally able to substantiate this higher price point on the basis that their girls offer better services. Luckily the market is not as black and white as that if you're a wily punter.
Before you ask I dont work in the industry. This is just what I have picked up over several years of punting!
