Casual Cuppa Chats: October

Mug: Random dog mug from New World

Brew: Typhoo

Yes - from now on our lovely Casual Cuppa Chats will be elevated via my donning of a tantalising brassiere and a cheeky pose with a mug. It's the Gemma Rose way, after all.

Tell you what, I'm fucken' tired. My fingers, once nimble, now ache and throb with every fleeting sting. Too much wanking for Gemma? Nah - get your mind out of the gutter. (And besides, I have a booking tomorrow evening.)

I'm tired from all the typing I've been doing over the past few hours. I'm writing up something that (I hope) will entertain, but it's taking a very long time so I thought I'd quickly come on in the meantime with a Casual Cuppa Chat, letting you know that I am 1) Alive (that's handy!) 2) Active (damn those hills) and 3) Back from Palmy and ready to get down 'n' dirty with you. I'll be available from now until Christmas!

Anyway, back to the reason why I've been typing. Over the past few months I've been asking my clients what they'd like me to write about, and how I became a sex worker has been a popular suggestion. Most of you know bits and pieces of the story - discrimination and bullying at an insurance job, door to door sales hell in Wellington, debuting at the Paradise Club, The Kensington, yada yada. I've spent some time (an understatement) writing about it all, and true to form I've gotten carried away and the post is long. Really, really long. I'm still working on it, and it's nowhere near finished.

I'm gonna get back to it now, but I'll speak to you again very soon, and please allow me to leave you with a picture of ONLY THE COOLEST BIKE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!11111!!!!!1111

(I'm a sucker for anything iridescent.)

Splish splash

To the tune of Splish Splash by Bobby Darin:

Splish-splash, I was soaking in the bath,

Doom scrolling through some Reddit at night

Rub-a-dub, just a hooker in the tub,

Feeling that the lighting was right

Phone in my hand with a grin on my lips,

Thought, “Why not bless the blog with a couple of pics?”

And then a…splish-splash!

Chyeeaahhh...splish splash indeed my champs, per the following pics there was certainly splishing, splashing, reeling with feelings (fear of dropping my phone in the bath to be specific) moving, grooving, rocking, rolling, all that good stuff.

Casual Cuppa Chats: July

Digestives (McVitties, obvi) have already been dunked and consumed, mug o’tea still piping hot and half full, time to catch up with you guys!

But can we just backtrack slightly…

The mug.

Ohhh, the mug!

If you know me well you know what I’m about to say next: this mug is the muggiest mug that has ever mugged. The S-tier - nay - GOD tier of mugs. It really is that muggin’ awesome, and I was ever so happy to have come across this mug again earlier this year at New World. Yes, again, because I originally had the same mug but in 2017 I, err….never mind.

Cleavage shots are great and all, but here’s the mug:

Who needs Crown Lynn when you’ve got Garfield from New World Wakefield Street? Also, looking at the second pic - I had to count those fingers, looked like I had an extra one there! Just five though, just a human after all, apparently.

Gosh, and to think I approached this blog post having no clue what I’d write about! The truth is I received an enquiry earlier today and the dude mentioned being unsure if I was still working (!!) so I thought I’d better jump on and show some signs of life!

I very much am still working, I got back from my 2 and-a-bit week break a few weeks ago and pretty much got straight into it, I’ve been working most days since I’ve been back and booking admin, outcall logistics, and meeting with the clients themselves have been my focus.

During downtime is when I update my website if needed, and shoot the shit with you guys via the blog.

I’m 15 years into a lupus diagnosis and I know that I’ll be hanging up the hooking boots at some point, but that time is not now. So, going forward if it’s been a month and a bit since a blog, and/or you haven’t seen my usual “go check out my website” retweet on X, it’s because I’ve been away on holiday and then back in Wellington busy working - the first few weeks of being back do tend to be busy - and I’m waiting for downtime to blog again. That’s all!

My time away was pretty full on - and lots of mud as expected. I don’t know what it is with me and mud - mud loves me! The more mud, the more fun…right? Right? Mudguards schmudguards, who needs ‘em? Not me! (Insert flex of non existent muscles here)

The terrain where I was in the Manawatu makes it so easy to get out and about - much like my ass, it's flat as hell. If I wasn’t out and about on the bike I was walking, sometimes hitting 20k steps a day per my pedometer! Like old times eh!! Unfortunately towards the end of my time away I had the lupus flare from ‘Nam….physical activity is good for those with lupus, especially to try and combat fatigue and joint pain etc but I know I overdid it…it was so easy to. So much fun, and not being cock-blocked by hills everywhere you look like where I live in Wellington! I’m all about going “all in”, even though sometimes I regret doing so.

Here’s a picture of my adventuring partner! Nah, I haven’t given it a name or anything, I’m lame but not that lame, c’mon. Though I did temporarily dub it “The Death Machine” a few years ago when I crashed the damn thing and was hospitalised, although that was my fault, not the bikes. (I guess. Per my Garfield mug, “maturity is overrated”, but I gotta be the bigger person here…user error and all that.)

Anyway. Site updates. None I can think of. But I reckon I’m due for some new pictures within the next few months? Picture taking is absolutely one of my least favourite parts of Gemma Rose: Independent Escort, so I only really add new ones once a year (or more frequently if I feel like my body shape has changed a bit) I’ve lost a smidge of weight over the past few months, don’t think it’s too noticeable but I shall take some new pictures sometime soon nevertheless because I'll be due for some.

I’ll be off now then - happy to chill for the rest of the week before a busy few weeks of prebookings from early August through to mid. There are some available days during this period but not many - however from August 19th onwards there is currently nothing prebooked, and of course September I’ll be here too for some of it, before heading back to the Manawatu for more biking adventures and family time! As always, you can keep abreast (hehehe) of my availability via my nifty availability calendar.

I’ll jump on the blog again before then, though, and I’ll definitely be making these Casual Cuppa Chats (capitalisation even…it’s serious!) a monthly thing, with hopefully some more blogs in between. Don’t want anyone thinking I’m not working!!

Cheers,

Gemma xoxoxo

Ps - I redesigned my site before I left on my July break. I don’t think I’m a pastel kinda gal anymore, so I went with a bolder look. Still pink and green though of course….ive said it a hundred times and I’ll say it again…this is my favourite colour combination ever!
