Scarlet Blue Review

The filters are more informative than the listings. Alongside location, gender and speciality sit four that most directories do not offer: touring, for advertisers with a limited window in a city; availability, for right now; price, as a first-class sort; and digital only, for people selling content rather than meetings. Together those describe a marketplace holding several different products, not a single list of people.

Rates are printed on the cards. Hourly figures run from four hundred dollars up to two thousand, published openly rather than held back for an enquiry, which makes the price search usable instead of decorative. Coverage is Australian and organised city by city, from the capitals down to regional centres, with a few New Zealand cities and Hong Kong appended at the end. BDSM and couples are separate top-level sections.

A plain request is refused by the front-door protection, so all of this came from a full browser, and the claims about verification and discretion are exactly that — claims, with no published process behind them anywhere a visitor can read. Profiles are created by the advertisers, so what a listing says is what its subject wrote. Two of the rate cards render with an obviously wrong duration, which is reason enough to read the profile rather than the summary.
