So, I can now add some further information here. It's in direct contradiction to something that someone else has stated very confidently, and I can't do any better than "he said, she said". I'm writing this with the knowledge and consent of Lips and Licks, but I am not her.
Having exchanged text messages with "Lips and Licks" on the text number on her AW profile yesterday, I initially arranged an Outcall, but then after seeing KatieEdinburgh's messages here, said I thought I should cancel. After some back and forth, we agreed to go for a coffee in a public place to reassure me and make sure I wasn't meeting up with a bloke as KatieEdinburgh has suggested.
I have just had a really nice (social - no private time) meet with someone who is clearly the person in the first picture in this thread and is almost definitely the person in the pictures now visible on her AW profile (no face pics so hard to be 100%). She acknowledges that the "prom dress" photo isn't her but used that photo when she was first getting set up. The person I met was as far as I can tell, totally genuine and a very nice person. She has no idea where KatieEdinburgh is getting her information or what the motivation is. There was no-one else hanging around where we met as far as I can tell, she arrived by herself in a car and did not seem to be being coerced in any way.
FWIW, also the original review which sparked part of the controversy was, according to her, totally genuine and she didn't write it. Based on her text messages I would say it was very unlikely that WholesumD is Lips and Licks, because by her own admission, Lips and Licks isn't the best at spelling or grammar, whereas WholesumD uses some pretty florid language completely unlike how Lips and Licks writes. I've got no proof of this, just reporting back what I was told (which I personally believe).
I'm hoping that KatieEdinburgh has just got Lips and Licks confused with someone else, otherwise the motives seem to be malicious. Lips and Licks told me she has had to re-verify her AW profile 5 times in the last 6 months because of someone (presumably KatieEdinburgh based on her posts) which she has done with passport/photo with AW number/photo with local paper etc. each time.
I'd be interested to hear back from KatieEdinburgh to hear her side. I have read many of her previous posts and she also seems totally genuine and helpful to other forum users, so I am really hoping it's just some kind of misunderstanding.
Thanks for reading.
