I may have an opening tonight in Massachusetts or Connecticut. Contact me via email if interested. Also tomorrow night in New Jersey again. If I can book these I'm coming out ahead! Haha!
Caution, kittenish, and Judy Anne. No worries Its turning around! All is well.
Just wanted to say thank you to whoever canceled with Maria last minute a few weeks ago -- I took your spot and it was awesome. More pics in profile -- thanks Maria for a great session!

Why am I learning about you being in NJ 22 days later? What's wrong with me? Doesn't matter, anyway. After 20 years on the UMD, I still have less money than when I started.
Publishing your schedule as far in advance as possible and repeating it. For example, if you are going to travel to Chicago the first week of May, do it EVERY YEAR. Get an itinerary down and keep it, that way people don't have to search threads to find out where you are or where you'll be in a few days or weeks. Too many people travel for work, have family lives, etc. and may need to plan something like this months in advance. You also can make 1 simple schedule people can refer to anytime, all year, whether they are in the US or UK. If you don't book enough to go, don't go and refund deposits. That's what I'd do logistically to simplify for you and customers. Just a suggestion. Feel free to tweak or ignore

I announced 5 months in advance to begin planning route and be sure to make it to as many people as possible. I also always have my whereabouts and travel plans on my umd page description and have had them that way for 2 years. I had enough messy gigs booked to know where I could afford to go and break even at least by 3 months out... so I thought. Shit happens though and people's lives change. I actually did better with random last minute add ons than with any stupid well prepared plans. Haha! As far as doing it EVERY YEAR, well I'm not committing to that. My life changes too. I hope it always keep changing as well, it's a very interesting life at times! I travel like I do because people can't leave there cities or towns. I'm trying my best here to make WAM accessible to people that want second sessions, and for people that have never had the opportunity. https://umd.net/forums/usa-messy-travel-announcement
I had someone on here actually tell me I'm an asshole for not having a permanent location and studio in England by now... so that HE could have a cheaper session. (Even though the only place I'd ever permanently want to live is New Orleans and there's certainly no WAM opportunities here FYI) Thing is I can't pay rent somewhere and get to the people asking me to get to them. If I stop running around living out of my backpack I won't have enough gigs to survive off WAM and will have to get another job. The only reason I can do any of this is because I sold everything I own and have no possessions or bills other than a phone bill. All money is funneled back into planes, trains, and automobiles. If I have $1000 plus in rent and bills that would lead to WAM feeling like something I don't have time for because I'll be back to the 9-5 work force. At that point this would go back to a private bedroom activity for me and my lover. I'm sure people would be pissed at me then too! Lmao! People think there's a lot more money in WAM than there is. We don't do this for money believe me. Or maybe some do, but I'd love to know how. The day this feels like work, or a burden to my spirit is the day I walk away from umd. That rule applies to everything I do in life. So far the positive experiences greatly outweigh the negative so it's all good.
I don't even know why I'm explaining this. You just can't please all the people all the time. I'm doing this because all the people I have met know what's up and I've made some amazing real life friends out of these travels. I'm doing my best to give people that wouldn't or that think they don't have the opportunity to get messy with someone the chance to, and hopefully when we are done they will have the confidence to tell future or current partners about WAM and never have to pay me for a session again. I meet all kinds of people, some I will see many times again in my life I'm sure because that's where they are at with life and goals, and others Ive had completely different equally beautiful experiences with where I hope the next time they call me when I'm in their area it's to grab lunch and tell me about how great there messy love life is going and tell me they don't need a session. So my ultimate goals for what people experience in sessions with me doesn't match a money driven life anyway. Haha.
Sorry for the novel here, but I wanted to set the record straight about what exactly I'm doing here. Frankly... it's fucking insulting to receive messages telling me how to live my life. That's not directed at y'all by the way SploshingCouple. You just reminded me of those people with this very business like reply. Any producer that's worked with me or any human that's sessioned with me can attest to the fact I'm not simply running some business here. In fact I often screw myself financially to get to random people in random locations because that's what I'm here for first and foremost... people. .
Thanks for taking the thousandth time to explain why you are doing things the way you are. It amazes me that so many people feel like they should control your life. I hope what you are doing never feels like a job. I hope you will always enjoy this lifestyle cause damn the stories you could tell. Just the wacky experiences you must have, or the neat people you meet in and out of the fetish. Plus to be traveling in a time of so many changes around the world and seeing how things effect people's lives. I hope you are keeping a diary. Maria the wam journalist lol.

lol don't you worry, I have my little travel notebook for sure. I never write in detail though, just little memory triggers... in case I ever lose the book! Ha! It would be shocking to whoever found it!
And happy Easter everyone! I'm headed off to the 34 annual Chris Owens Easter Drag parade now... another reason New Orleans is the only place I'd want to have a home base. Lol! It's a crazy place.

My next sceduales trip is june and July in the U.K. I have to lay low until then and try and pick up PI and babysitting work in New Orleans. Anyone that can travel to New Orleans and book a hotel is welcome to a session for $150 though. FYI.
