Interview with Member MonicaSilver

[abrogate]

Since joining not too long ago I've been infatuated somewhat with one of the members here, Monca Silver. She has been quiet for a few months, but she agreed to letting me "interview" her for anyone else on the board who may be as interested as I am. I'm shamelessly stealing the idea of interviewing a board member from Jagegger from when he did a great job of interviewing another board favorite, LurkingDirk.



Monica, tell us a little about yourself.

Well, I'm in my late 20's, Born, raised, and live in Westchester, NY. LOVE Italian food. I'm even getting better at cooking it. I reluctantly go to the gym (because I eat too much Italian food). I'm an outdoor girl, who hikes, camps, and is an avid scuba diver with my master and wreck certifications.
I was raised in a very strict Irish Catholic household. I contribute that to my inner depravity and kinkiness. Of which, I am thankful for.

Tell me about your education.

Went to private grammar and high school. I have a BA in Economics from NYU, an Executive MBA from Columbia, and just completed my Doctorate in Economics from Columbia as well. Woohoo!


What do you do for a living?

Well, I was a Financial Advisor for Bear Stearns. I was unemployed in 2008. So, a friend of mine who is in the "Adult Business" helped me get started as an escort. I cater to those with kinkier tastes and exclusive clients. In 2010, after a couple of successful years with that as an escort I longed for the Finance World again, so I started a Financial Advisory Consulting practice. I've hired a couple of people and we were able to take advantage of some of the needs during a downturn and have a tidy client list that is focused and growing.

Why did you stop posting on FreeOnes?

I enjoyed the discussions on here. I found some folks to be relatively well informed. I didn't agree with everyone's conclusions, but that is what makes it fun.
I found that there was a mean streak forming on the board. I'm certainly a NY Liberal. However, I like to look at things holistically and don't feel that just because I don't agree with a point of view is a reason to insult the other person. I was seeing more and more of that on here and I was being insulted (or felt I was) by people whose point of view I really didn't differ from all that much. Oddly enough, I was seeing those whose point of view I really didn't agree with behaving rather well.

When I would not that a post was mean spirited there were a few members who would really hop on that and insult the very thought of criticizing the spirit of the post.

One infuriating thing, and I still see it on here, I supported Obama for president. I was a volunteer in his campaign. So, I would say I have a personal investment in him to a degree. There are members who can not seem to accept any critique of him. Since I invested in him with my personal time and money, I feel as though we are owed the right to do so. That is really true of any president, isn't it? The very mention of the name "Obama" is a lightening rod for discussion.

So, the answer to your question is the name calling and immaturity in the discussion threads is what moved me to be more of a viewer than an active poster.

Care to name the members who you think are immature and "name callers"?

LOL, no!!! Although I see some discussions once in a while that some of them may be one in the same. You never know. It is the internet.

Care to name members who you enjoy?

Jagger69, LirkingDirk are probably my two favorite. Bloodshot Scott, Trident, Cindy CD/TV, STDiva, Ike Stain, Abrogate, Ulysses, Antanotherthing, Jinxypie, Supadupafly

Nice List. What do you like best about FreeOnes?

Anything to do with sex! My tastes run kinkier than most. So, I love seeing what fetishes people have. I get a kick when I see people say "ewwww" or post the barfing icon...most of the time that is a turn on for me.


To be continued....(if I'm not completely flamed)...

Interesting. I'll have to look her up.

Very cool thread, I've always liked Monica's posts, shes been on my friends list for quite some time but haven't gotten to chat with her and get to know her as much as I would have liked. I'll take this opportunity to give her a shout out.

This is probably the best interview of a member that I've seen here. From reading her posts, I guessed that Monica was probably a finance or econ major, but it's even more intriguing to learn that she once worked for Bear Sterns. And what's even more interesting to me is that once she lost her job there, when that firm imploded, she became an escort. Back in the 80's, there was a girl I met at a friend's party and they both worked for Drexel Burnham Lambert before it imploded. I only met her once and never really got to know her. But she was rather striking, so I remembered her. When I talked to my buddy months after everything unwound with Drexel, I asked what happened to various people I'd met who worked there. The one that really stood out in that conversation was the girl I'd met at the party. According to him, she also became an escort.

I know it probably doesn't mean anything to anybody else. But it just struck me as kind of ironic that both she and Monica shared a similar path. I think that would make a really good TV movie or something because I think there is a stereotype about escorts, and both of these women really shatter that, IMO. She's a bright, intelligent poster. Sad to hear that she no longer feels good about posting here. But that has become a frequent complaint of a lot of people recently. We're losing too many good posters and getting too many goofs in their place, IMO.

P.S. From what my pal told me, the Drexel girl became all the rage among the older, (especially) married Wall Streeters, who had lusted for her when she was still with Drexel. Guys who wanted to "get to know her", but couldn't (for family and/or professional reasons) were tripping over themselves to book dates with her after she became an escort. If Monica feels comfortable addressing this, I wonder if she's had similar experiences?

Great interview, Abrogate. Rep to you (if the system lets me!).

That is interesting. I'm sure everyone has worked with that young girl in the office. Then getting to play is kind of hot.

When I first came on the board I enjoyed reading some of Monica's posts. I thought she had a well informed and passionate point of view. I knew she said something about her financial background and one of the posts was about unemployment and I sent her a note about the effects of unemployment on the recovery and she took the time to send me back a well thought out analysis.

Monica, I too wonder if any of your clients are from your previous employer.

I do have two clients that were both executives from BS that I knew from my first year as an intern. They are the type that have more money than they know what to do with and when BS folded, they were shielded from the economy. They are basically good people though, although they fall on absolute opposite of the kink spectrum. One like the idea of totally using a younger woman and the other likes to be abused. I often wonder if they know of each other...I suspect not.

Sounds like you're one educated prostitute.
