A Bit About Me...

Where are you located?

In the beautiful state of Minnesota, lovely land of 10,000 lakes.  Minneapolis combines a busy and advanced urban city with the feel of a small town.  The theater, music and arts scene is considered one of the finest and most vibrant in the country...there are more theater seats per capita than in any other American city besides New York City!  In 2009 Money magazine named Chanhassen (one of our prettiest suburbs) second on their list of best places to live in the nation.  I invite you to visit and allow me to show you the city I know and love.  With my past experience as a concierge, I am adept at arranging entertainment for the traveling business person.  Allow me to be your gracious hostess!

Are the photos on the site really you?

Yes, they are.  They are recent and convey a true sense of the real woman you can expect to meet.  I am a woman, not a girl.  I am ageless and timeless with classic femininity.  Statuesque and tall (5'8-1/2,  almost 6' in heels) with lush curves and good proportions (think Christina Hendricks) I am developed, ripened and perfected!  I have red hair, (yes, I was born a redhead) deep teal/blue eyes, full lips, radiant bright white smile, a fine nose and high cheekbones. Many have described my look as striking.  My complexion is very clear and fair with a sprinkling of freckles attesting to my Northern European ancestry.  I have absolutely no tattoos.  My natural nails are always beautifully manicured and my toes are perfectly, prettily pedicured and classically elegant.  I have often been told I resemble Ann-Margret, Rene Russo or Julianne Moore and that I look even better and younger in the flesh!  You can expect my photos to change often, demonstrating the many different aspects of my personality, style and creativity. One example of my style is to leave something to the imagination, so my photos will always be alluring but tasteful. Because I am discreet and have respect for your privacy and my safety, I do not share photos revealing my entire face but I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Are your rates negotiable?

My rates are non-negotiable.  Just as I believe that quality comes with a price, you should also know that you will never be asked for more than you are expecting.  I am by no means a clock watcher but I do ask that you respect my schedule and obligations by keeping to the length of time agreed upon.  I am somewhat flexible but please do not expect or take advantage of that.  My rates are all inclusive.  I do not offer discounts or special rates other than to those friends who visit me regularly.  I request that you excuse yourself to the restroom upon arrival, wash your hands and/or feel free to use the shower and gentlemen's amenities that I have provided.  Kindly leave your regalo in plain sight...no envelope necessary.  Please do not ask me to have coffee or lunch "off the clock."  I do not do this and it will make us both uncomfortable if you ask.

Do you expect tips or gifts?

No.  However, if my kind sirs feel chivalry demands a token of friendship, you may take a look at my Treasures page to see the kinds of things I enjoy.  

You can expect the woman in the pictures with all the charm, allure, charisma, humor and passion that implies.  I am a true romantic and sensualist, always a lady in public but a playful seductress in private. I love to kiss and cuddle. I am a product of finishing school which educated me in the elegance of dress combined with grace, poise and a warm and friendly demeanor. My instruction, education and experience in fashion, fine art and design makes me a stylish companion and I am as comfortable in elegant evening attire as I am a pair of jeans and boots.  I am also one of the most down to earth, open and friendly people you will ever meet, can move in any circle and I am always discreet in public.  I am healthy and fit and although I may imbibe in the occasional glass of wine or shared cigar at a gentleman's request, I do not indulge in other chemical substances or unhealthy activities.  I ask that you refrain from doing so as well, either in my presence or prior to a meeting. You can expect engaging conversation, spiritual and emotional connection and joyous laughter.  Most of all, you can expect indelible memories.  I offer and embrace authenticity! 

What sort of gentlemen do you prefer?

I would like to believe that I look beyond the superficial and enjoy the company of intelligent, witty, kind, honorable and experienced gentlemen who are discreet and respectful.  I do not tolerate or engage in gossip.  The connection we make is sacred and special.  I keep all confidences and expect the same in return.  I love to laugh, so humor is enjoyed and appreciated.  Because I will always be immaculately groomed for our encounter, your impeccable hygiene is also appreciated.  Although I possess a fondness for culture, my tastes are varied and eclectic and I am very down to earth...I am originally a small town girl after all!  I would prefer gentlemen who seek to establish a continuing relationship, allowing us to get to know each other well, peeling back the layers of mutual awareness, meeting after meeting. My testimonials speak for themselves but I am candid and happy to clarify any reasonable questions you may have.

Very!  I am thorough and meticulous in my screening process.  I have another vocation in which I professionally pursue my natural creativity and artistry.   Although my schedule is somewhat flexible,  I very much limit the number of gentlemen I see.   Because of this, please request your appointment as far in advance as possible.  It is my utmost desire is to make each encounter individual, unique and completely unrushed.  I seek to meet with those friends who will most appreciate my personal touches and I thank you in advance for your patience in the process.  If I don't have your preferred day or time available, please try again. 

Do you expect exclusivity?

No I do not.  It is my hope that we will establish an ongoing friendship. If you are the type of gentleman who prefers to visit only once, I am probably not the girl for you.  I do request the opportunity to become acquainted with one another over time and to establish a connection that will make the experience more fulfilling for both of us.  Visiting other companions is not at all an issue for me, in fact I encourage it.  I have never denied or ignored a reference request and I am very forthcoming and happy to act as reference. Please see the RSVP page for my policies regarding this.  What I do expect and request is honesty, straightforwardness and complete discretion, which is exactly what you can expect from me.

May I ask personal questions?  

Undoubtedly the time we spend together is going to involve conversation of a personal nature. However, I do not share very private information and ask that you do not press for it.  I will not share my personal phone number, email address or anything else about my life that is not necessary or relevant to our assignation. Likewise, I will safeguard your information and anything you choose to share with me. If I discover a friend has been indiscreet in any way, that will unfortunately end our arrangement. No second chances on this one, I am sorry!  

What name shall I call you?

My name is Francesca!  Please do not call me "Fran" or "Frannie."

What else may happen during our encounter?

We may discuss that once we have scheduled our first meeting and during its opening moments.  I would hope we would both be tactful enough to be honest and discreet in our communications, but also wish to make very clear that I am not interested in providing you with anything less than the highest quality experience.  There are unsafe practices that are absolutely out of the question! Please do not attempt, ask or pressure or the session will end, you will be asked to leave and full payment will be expected.

Why do you do this?
Because I embrace the philosophy of the Courtesan Companion.  The roles of women in our society are varied and complex, but my natural spirit and creativity have led me to this path.  I enjoy the company of men, moving with them in their world, and catering to their needs.  I believe in the power of the Goddess to provide a touch of the Divine and if my gentlemen can appreciate that, then it is that which fulfills me the most.  There is something about the depth of communication and level of connection in this work that speaks to my soul.  I consider my vocation to be loving, sacred, compassionate and therapeutic.  I will not be so noble as to pretend that I do not hold dear the finer things in life, from physical accoutrements to the luxury of precious, creative time in which to pursue my own interests, as well as time with loved ones I hold dear.  This work allows for both.

Who have you been inspired by?

I have been inspired by many people--those throughout history as well as people I have known in my lifetime.  In particular, I am moved by the Italian Courtesan, Veronica Franco.  She was a woman of great beauty, strength, intelligence and spirit.   She was a protofeminist poet who expressed frank eroticism with impressive eloquence.  She passionately and intelligently defended herself against charges of witchcraft during the Inquisition.   More importantly,  she defended her fellow Courtesans and used her wealth to develop foundations for them and their children.  This especially speaks to my heart and has inspired me in my volunteer work with women.
