FLOKI: Do you remember your first encounter and how did it go?
KATE: Oh my gosh. I think for a lot of us in the industry, there are really a few things to consider, that I could call my first encounter, also there were people for a period of time, suggesting that I should charge money and trying to give me money. That was happening for a while before I decided to get smart and do that. I would say that my first client in the fetish house, after I left Greenpeace. He was a guy that just wanted to watch me put on lipstick and say the word “pussy” over and over again; He had a fetish for that, so that is what we did. I then said “Damn! I can do this” and immediately I thought it was really interesting work: Never a dull day.
FLOKI: Interesting is definitely the right word for this.
On that note: What has to be the more memorable gift you have ever received from a punter?
KATE: You know what, I think the best gift that I can mention, has to be a dehumidifier that a client gave me.
FLOKI: That I did not expect.
KATE: Because it helps me in Ireland. Ireland is so damp that I swear of all the lovely and wonderful gifts clients have given me, I think the dehumidifier was the best; Now I just breathe freely. It was a great gift too, it was just so thoughtful.
FLOKI: Your answer is completely different than what I expected.
KATE: Well a client took me to a shoe store in London that specialises in really small feet. It´s called “Pretty small shoes” or something; So that’s my two-part answer, they have all small sizes and he took me there and I bought 4 pairs of shoes so that was amazing so that would probably by the first but the second is the dehumidifier as it really saved my life.
FLOKI: Interesting...
Okay then, so what has been the strangest request you have been asked to do and did you complete the request?
KATE: Oh my gosh. Ooooh Floki! I got to choose my words!
FLOKI: I don't know if I am ready for this one.
KATE: You know what was something that was so strange? There was this guy and he wanted me to wear a mini-skirt and high heels and he lay on the ground in front of me. I had to put my foot on his cock and pump my foot up and down; I had to make the car noises and look like I was steering. I then had to pretend like I was running over stuff in the road….That’s what he wanted me to do.
FLOKI: What a strange request, so you had to drive the car?
KATE: Yeah and we had to be running over stuff with sound effects and everything. I definitely did it because that shit is hilarious! I even had a guy too, who liked to play the paypig. He used to hide money around the room, and we would play the game “Hot and Cold” I would run around just finding the money and then he left.
FLOKI: I think I may enjoy doing that, whats his number?
KATE: He was a great client.
FLOKI: With the new laws (such as the Nordic Model) that have been introduced into Ireland, how do you feel that it had affected your work?
KATE: So, you might know that I am the director of the Sex Workers Alliance Ireland; I have to say I think the way that the Nordic Model has affected me the most is that we have gotten so busy at SWAI, helping other girls with more challenging and stressful situations, that I haven't gotten to escort as much as I want to since it came in. We have just been so busy, doing whatever we can to help girls with the challenges they are facing now and also fighting against this law in the government, the media and in society that I am not getting to do as much actual escorting as I love to do. I miss it, so when I tour those boys better get in there!
FLOKI: That’s a shame as I'm aware this law has not really helped. In the 5 years I have been working here now I have noticed a change since the law has been introduced.
KATE: It's absolutely the worst. Ireland used to have the biggest red-light district in the Europe. 17,000 sex workers in Dublin…I think this was the 1700´s. I am not saying it was perfectly safe for them in that time but they were accepted in society; Then when the church came in and started to put them in Magdalene Laundries and saying how they were either horrible fallen women, criminals or in need of being rescued, that is when violence escalated against them, that’s when people got the sense that these are women you can treat poorly. It’s such a shame, it has to go the other direction, and I think culturally it is going to the other direction. When you speak to young people particularly, when you talk to taxi drivers and you know “regular people”, They get it. Of course, people need human rights, global rights.
FLOKI: I think people are a lot more open minded these days in general.
KATE: We are just doing the work of insisting that our voices be heard, because they can say whatever they want, they do, and they lie. They spin the story and distort reality. Unfortunately, these anti prostitution laws go right in line with right-wing policies that are spreading around the world now and so these anti-prostitution people are just getting into bed with far-right politicians and therefore have so much power.
FLOKI: Well let's hope we can turn things around soon.
KATE: Yeah, that’s the work that SWAI is doing and it's been really exciting you know; Due to the unfortunate circumstances of the law, there have been so many more people getting in touch with us and you know, we hold drop-ins so people can come and meet each other, we do a lot of work on the ground just helping people in emergency situations however we can but its also just starts to create a bit of a community with people who feel like they can support each other.
FLOKI: Do you hear much from male escorts?
KATE: The thing is, we know there is so many. I think they work in very different ways, a lot of the time. They have different ways of advertising in different circles, but we do talk to male escorts and certainly a lot of trans escorts. That’s the thing, people sort of ignore there existent at all, don´t they?
FLOKI: That’s the thing, I rarely here Ruhama mention males, its only about women. Males and trans are also trafficked!
KATE: Its condescending and contradicting that women need to be rescued and men can take care of themselves.
FLOKI: OK so on another topic. Do you have a favourite that you personally enjoy or if you prefer to do? And if you were only able to perform 1 favourite from your list, which would you choose?
KATE: Okay, so I have heard clients before describe me as a PSE, GFE, natural sub. So we all know what that means, “Porn star experience”, “Girlfriend experience”, naturally “submissive”. Now if I was only able to perform one favourite, I would have to say “rimming giving”.
FLOKI: I haven’t really been on that side of the coin before, so I don’t really know. Maybe I will find someone.
(They both laugh hysterically)
KATE: If only you knew where to look! Gotta get out from under that desk Floki.
FLOKI: So, is there a particular dress or lingerie that your clients like to see you in? What is your favourite outfit to where?
KATE: I mean a lot of them, seem to like me in stockings and suspenders, garter belt, that old combination. Maybe because I have such a cute ass. I also get asked to wear latex and leather boots.
FLOKI: I know what I like, stockings are quite sexy with suspenders. I always call it the wedding underwear, it looks silky.
KATE: Yeah guys really do like white! Does it have to do with some sort of fantasy of a slutty wedding?
FLOKI: Depending on my moods!
KATE: I vary a lot between my moods and outfits, I can go from fun dirty to an extremely elegant which I love to play that role also. Yoga pants is something I get asked for a lot.
FLOKI: What has been your best moment so far in escorting?
KATE: That’s a tough one! Being on national TV for a year on the docu-drama RTE series “Connected” and being able to say that I am proud to be an escort and that the world should respect us and thank us for creating such a freeing moment of pleasure.
FLOKI: Great answer.
What is your ideal client or your ideal date?
KATE: I mean he would be polite, he would have a good sense of humour, he would have impeccable oral and over-all hygiene (because I love to kiss)…You know, I like all kinds of dates, but a dinner date is really fun; You meet, you have a drink, you go back and have some fun. Then you go to dinner, get a really nice dinner, then you go to a really nice show or swimming. Then you go back and have some more fun, that kind of long event can be really nice. Of course, if I can say frankly, because I came from America, its always appreciated if the client does tip. I know its not always accepted the way it is in America but it’s a really nice gesture.
