Cerf interview from March '09.07-May-2009
What got you into the biz?
I have always been curious & fantasized about being an Escort.
I have always been more attracted to different types of experiences & work.
I Worked in Asia as a model for years, backpacked all over the world, went back to Japan & worked as a Hostess, etc.
The few regular jobs that I had, I hated & wasn't happy.
I decided to satisfy my long curiosity with the industry & became an Escort in November '04.
When do you prefer to work and why?
I prefer working in the late morning into the early evening because it is when I feel my best.
How did you come up with your restrictions?
I have had several different restrictions during my career.
When I first started out in November '04 I didn't allow bbbj, bbfs, facials, greek, couples, bls, rimming, stags.
My reasons were, I was new to the industry & didn't have personal experience with the majority of the items listed. The bareback services were & are for safety purposes.
In March of '05 my restrictions increased: no lk, lfk, dfk, daty, msog, cob, in addition to the previously stated restrictions.
My reasons were, I entered into a relationship where my partner was not OK with me offering certain services.
My restrictions went back to normal in September '05 & have remained current: bbbj, bbfs, facials, greek, couples, bls, rimming, stags.
The only thing that has changed in the last few months is I am not able to offer socials, overnights, dinner dates, etc.
If a regular sees you in session will the restrictions ease over time?
Unfortunately not. I have a very clear set of restrictions that I will not waver on.
What is your favorite gift to date?
I have received a lot of wonderful gifts during my career. Flowers, thank you cards, clothes, unique purses, hand made jewelry, donations to charity, dog treats, bottles of wine, books, cd's, dvd's, etc.
What is the funniest session you have had?
I don't think it is appropriate to discuss my sessions.
Do you have animals? What kind?
I have 2 wonderful dogs. A Boston Terrier & a Pug.
How old are you really.....?
I'm 29 but I look way younger. I actually get id'd all the time. Its a bit ridiculous. Every birthday that I have, I increase the age on my website though. I wish I could advertise my real age but I don't want those who have yet to meet me, to automatically
assume that I am 35-40 years old.
Where do you see yourself in 5 yrs?
I see many additional things in my life, like having a family & owning property in the next 5 years. I am unsure if I will still be working as an Escort or not.
Do you have an exit strategy in place?
I don't really have an exit strategy in place. I really enjoy what I do & I have several goals that I am actively working towards.
Do you drive? Car? Truck? SUV?
I don't drive. One of my goals for 2009 is to to finally get my license. Yes, I know, I'm a huge procrastinator.
Why do you live and work where you are as opposed to other cities?
I didn't travel at all in 2008 because I had no one to take care of my dogs while I was away.
I intend to travel a lot in 2009. Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, perhaps Toronto.
What is your favorite color?
I love Black, its classic & goes with everything. My winter wardrobe consists of pretty much black.
In the summer however, I break out the color. I love turquoise & green.
Do you have tattoos?
I have 1 small tattoo in a discreet location. You probably won't even notice it. I got it done in Japan in 2003 with my 2 crazy Australian roommates.
Do you have any birthmarks?
I have a few moles. Nothing crazy.
What is your favorite outfit? Pics?
I have a favorite black outfit. The pics can be found in the Legendary Rodholder Review of me.

Are your boobs real?
Yes they are real. I was blessed with great genes.
Do you go to school? What are you studying for? Why?
I am a very part time student. I study nutrition online because I really enjoy learning about how to improve ones health.
Do you have an SO?
Yes I have an SO. I met him through the industry but he was never a client of mine. We became friends in June '08 & started dating in July.
I feel very fortunate to have found someone I connect with so well & who is so excepting of my career.
Do you date clients?
I have dated 2 clients in the past.
I saw the 1st one at the agency I worked for 3 times & then once privately. After the private session I never asked for payment again because it was very clear that I enjoyed his company on a personal level. We dated for 1.5 years.
I saw the 2nd one, also at the agency I worked for 3 or more times but then I didn't see him for a long time. He contacted me over a year later about going for coffee or dinner & because I hadn't seen him professionally in a long time, I agreed to meet him as friends. We did become good friends & then started dating after 4-5 months. We dated for a year or so, off & on.
Children?
I don't have any children as of yet but I am planning on starting a family sometime in the next year or so.
Favorite book? TV show? Movie?
Book: Anything by Ayn Rand.
TV show: CSI Las Vegas, Law & Order SVU, House.
Movie: Water by Deepa Metha
Do you like board games?
Yes, I love games in general. I really enjoy cards.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I'm pretty low key. I enjoy going for walks, spending time with my SO & my dogs, spending time with friends & family, going to dinner parties, entertaining, relaxing, etc. I can't wait for the warmer weather so I can hang out in the sun all day.
What is your shoe size?
I'm a size 8.
Do you wear contacts?
No, I have perfect vision.
What kind of makeup do you like? Why?
I recently switched over to Loreal Bare Mineral Make up. I really like it because its very natural looking.
Where do you shop for your outfits? Do you dress the same in your private life?
I like La Senza (although the last time I was there, their selection was pretty non existent). I keep meaning to make it over to Susan James & I want to go to Dare to Wear in Vancouver.
I dress pretty similar in my private life, although I tend to be a bit more casual.
I'm not comfortable saying which stores I shop at for clothes.
Do you prefer older or younger clients? Why?
I prefer older clients because they are usually more relaxed, appreciative, respectful, like to take their time & enjoy conversing about broader topics.
Why did you hide your face in your pics?
When I started out in '04 I hide my face because I didn't want everyone in Victoria to be able to recognize me. My family also wasn't aware of what I did.
Why do you not hide your face in your pics?
When I went independent again in October 2007 I decided to start showing my face.
I am very comfortable with what I do & don't have the need for secrecy as all of the people in my private life know what I do.
Plus, Victoria is a small town & I figured that I had seen a lot of the clients anyways, so there was no need to hide my face.
What was the reason you decided to work at Victoria's Eden?
I decided to work at an agency because I didn't know anything about the industry or anyone in it. I also thought it was the safest thing for me to do.
What made you leave VE?
I decided to leave the agency because I wanted to create a better atmosphere for my clients & be more in control of my business. It also really bothered me how much money I was paying them per day & figured that it would be a lot cheaper doing it on my own.
What type of music do you listen to?
I listen to a lot of different music. Some of the artists I listen to are: A.R Rahman, Ani Difranco, Amy Winehouse, B-Tribe, Barenaked Ladies, Beastie Boys, Beatles, Beck, Bedouin Soundclash, Ben Harper, Billie Holiday, Bjork, Black Eyed Peas, Blind Melon, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Brazilian Girls, Cafe Del Mar, Carley Simon, Cat Power, CCR, Chantal Kreviazuk, Chemical Brothers, Cliff Martinez, Clint Mansell, Coco Rosie, Coldplay, Cowboy Junkies, Dave Matthews, David Grey, Dido, Dzihan & Kamien, Ella Fitzgerald, Enigma, Enya, Erykah Badu, Everything But The Girl, Feist, Fiona Apple, Frou Frou, Gipsy Kings, Goldfrapp, Hey Ocean!, Holly McNarland, Imogen Heap, Indigo Girls, Iron & Wine, Jack Johnson, James Blunt, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, Joni Mitchell, Joy Division, K-OS, Kanye West, Lamb, Lauryn Hill, Led Zeppelin, Lily Allen, Lisa Gerrard, M.I.A, Macy Gray, Martha Wainright, Massive Attack, Mazzy Star, Michael Kaeshammer, Morcheeba, Nelly Furtado, No Doubt, Norah Jones, Pearl Jam, PJ Harvey, Portishead, R.E.M, Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, Ravi Shankar, Ray Charles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rolling Stones, Sam Roberts, Santana, Sarah Harmer, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Sigur Ros, Simon & Garfunkle, Sinead O'connor, St.Germain, Talvin Singh, The Cranberries, The Doors, The Killers, The Shins, The Strokes, Thievery Corporation, Tool, Tori Amos, Tracy Chapman, Tragically Hip, U2, Xavier Rudd.
When did you decide to tour? And why?
I started to seriously think about touring in December '08 because I have been getting a lot of requests to visit other cities. I have not seen much of Canada so I decided that this would be a great way to do that & meet new clients.
What was your worst session ever?
I don't think it is appropriate to discuss my sessions.
Do you prefer to contact by email and why? Phone and why?
I prefer contact by pm or email because I feel nervous talking on the phone. Thats the main reason I have avoided taking bookings by phone.
How do you feel the economy is affecting your biz? or is it?
So far the economy isn't affecting my business.
Is there a story behind your handle?
There is no story behind my handle.
My old handle on perb used to be Audrey but I retired for a brief time & when I came back to the industry, they wouldn't allow me to use that handle again.
So I came up with A.U.D.R.E.Y
There is no meaning to it & its not an acronym for anything
