Escort Advisory

There is news out of Canada that, last month, military commanders at the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) base in Kingston (CFB Kingston) sent an internal message to soldiers, advising them to stay away from a sex worker by the name of Christina Lea Gilchrist, who was offering her services to soldiers via her website. Contrary to what they likely expected, the number of enquiries to Ms. Gilchrist has apparently skyrocketed since then.

To quote from one report:

The internal message noted that “the escort in question has photos posted on their website of (as of yet unidentified) clients in CAF uniforms in compromising positions. Aside from this being a potential offence, it could lead to other more serious consequences and engaging in sexual exploitation clearly goes against our CAF Code of Ethics and Values.”

But the internal message provided to all soldiers at the base has resulted in booming business for Gilchrist. Traffic to her website skyrocketed to 10,000 views over a three-day period and she is receiving requests for her services now from soldiers across the country.

“They gave me all this free publicity,” Gilchrist said. “After they made that memo, I literally had 10,000 hits on my website. They said to soldiers — ‘Hey don’t look at this’ and all the soldiers said, ‘Hey let’s go look at this.’“

Gilchrist offers a 25 per cent discount for military personnel. They are required to show their military identification cards to receive the discount.

Meanwhile, Ms. Gilchrist has a posted a link to the internal message on her website with this statement describing herself:

Officially the prettiest casual threat to national security* that you'll ever see since a memo went out to CFB KINGSTON about me specifically.

* legally a joke, please - I'm just a shack rat.
