A Tryst with Pittsburgh escort Angela Fox
Tell us your story, how did you get into the industry and what has your journey looked like thus far?
I rediscovered SW in my late thirties after a very brief stint when I was 18/19 ish. Back then, a friend and I were rooming together, both just left home and had very little to our names. We both had jobs but still struggled to have any extra money after rent/bills/food etc. So one day we answered a Craigslist ad. We ended up with an agency and both went on a couple of calls before deciding it wasn't quite the right circumstance. Fast forward many years later I was ending an 11 year long relationship, we had the same circle of friends and I found it difficult to find people outside of that group to date. I wanted to date someone much more mature, with integrity and purpose in life. I found myself on dating sites, which quickly evolved to arrangements, to me taking control and embracing SW full on with no apologies. So now I get to date LOTS of mature people who have the integrity and purpose in life that I desire.
What are some of your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Physical Fitness, specifically weight lifting and kinesiology. Also Dogs, anything to do with dogs and I'm down. Cooking. Mostly vegetarian for me but I love to prepare all types of dishes for others. Podcasts. Mostly biographical or true crime, specifically wrongful convictions
As sex workers we face a number of challenges in our line of work. What is one issue you care about and how do you think your clients can help sex workers?
Reducing the Stigma. I know its a difficult topic for most clients in their personal lives as they face a certain amount of stigma amongst family and friends as well. But I think it's important to help change the narrative wherever they can. Don't participate in conversations that are derogatory to SWs and even better shut them down whenever you can. Stand up for us. Tell people that we don't sell bodies anymore than any person who's work includes something physical. If you can't make it better, try to make it a little less worse.
What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?
One of my favorite ways to try different flavor combinations is with a lovely cheese and/or a cheese and charcuterie plate with lots of accompaniments. Super funky blue cheese with fig jam or spicy honey, a smooth creamy slightly less funky cheese like Taleggio or Brie with caper berries or pickled onion and honeycomb, or a yummy super sharp aged Cheddar with a crisp apple slice and perhaps some prosciutto.
Is there a book, tv show or movie that has had a major impact on your life? What was it and what did it teach you?
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir. I read this book in my women's studies class my first year of college, it opened my eyes about sexual inequality and helped me to better understand my feelings around many traumas I experienced growing up.
What has escorting taught you about sex and human sexuality?
That most of us are clueless. In all seriousness though, it has taught me that we are all very sensitive creatures just trying to find our way through this crazy life. Human touch, compassion, and acceptance are essential to a healthy mind. Mind and body go hand in hand, and in order to reach full potential of either we need balance. We need human connection not only physically but spiritually, and unfortunately the demands of everyday life don't allow for much of that.
What is one thing you’re glad you tried but would never do again?
I'd have to say Hallucinogens like shrooms or acid. I'm glad I satisfied my curiosity in my late teens/early twenties. It's just not for me. AT ALL.
What is a sex tip you think most people should know?
Don't copy what you have seen in porn without a consent/boundary discussion beforehand.
What is something people never guess about you?
My Age. I'm told I am rather enigmatic in this department. I've recently turned 44 but am often mistaken for much much younger. I live a fairly quiet, reserved, mature lifestyle but have a youthful appearance, maintain my physical fitness, and have a lighthearted, easy going, and optimistic outlook on life.
My favourite restaurant is: Room Service. I'm kidding. well kind of... There are many on my bucket list I've yet to try, but so far if I had to pick just one it would probably be Joes Stoned Crab in Miami, Florida.
My happy place is: My humble abode spooning my BFF (best fur friend), Turbo. Or enjoying a nice ocean breeze also while spooning Turbo ;).
My favourite scent is: For the Home I like cinnamon, it's warm and comforting. For me, I don’t wear perfume often but I like mild scents like rose, vanilla, lemon, and coconut. In general, I love the aroma of cilantro, coffee, and fresh peanut butter cookies.
My ideal date would be: Home cooked meal, lots of THC, big belly laughs, an evening walk with Turbo, and then some of that GOOD GOOD Lovin
