I'm an escort...people think my job is fun...but there's one aspect that's mind numbingly boring
In an anonymous first person account, the escort, who charges between £400 and £1,000 per hour, said clients use her as a respite from hours of high-profile meetings.
She said most are based in the capital's Zone 1 and secretly find business dinners dull as they can't talk openly to their peers.
The escort said, as a result, clients enjoy divulging gossip to her in private which leaves her eyes 'bulging like a schoolgirls'.
However, while many people think her job is fun and well paid, the escort shared that sex work can be a lonely job.
Writing for The Fence about the one aspect she doesn't like, she said: 'Being stuck in a hotel room, especially on quiet days, is mind-numbingly boring.'
The escort explained that often her clients can provide 'meaningful companionship' despite them being from completely different backgrounds.
She said as a working-class person from northern England, many see her as an 'exotic creature' due to her thick regional accent.
She said while she used to pretend she was from a different background, she has now started to embrace who she is.
The escort said she has allowed herself to be 'working-class but not too working-class' and now tells her clients anecdotes from her home town.
'They reveal secrets for two reasons – they know it will impress me and that I am also trusted,' she continued.
'I'm told that foreign state actors bug offices, that some mandarins at Whitehall held MAGA parties during last year's American election, and that some famous actor who everyone likes is a c***.'
It comes after an escort previously told MailOnline many clients seemed to be more comfortable talking to her than to a therapist.
Gigi Patsy, a 28-year-old escort of three years from Hertfordshire, said back in January: 'Talking has become as much a part of my job as sex is.'
Data suggests Britain is experiencing what has been dubbed a loneliness epidemic, with some studies finding men report more isolation than the general population.
A 2019 survey found almost one in five men admitted to having no close friends and a third didn't have a best friend.
The latest figures suggests about seven per cent of the population, about 3million people in England, often or always felt lonely.
This is rise from pre-pandemic when only six per cent of people reported such feelings.
When broken down by sex, eight per cent of women reporting frequently feeling lonely compared to 6 per cent of men.

Michael Madsen's sister Virginia pays emotional tribute after actor's death
Michael Madsen's sister Virginia has paid a heartfelt tribute to the Reservoir Dog' actor after he was found dead at his home in Malibu on Thursday at the ageof67 Virginia Madsen has honoured her brother Michael Madsen with a heartfelt tribute a fter his sudden death. The renowned actor, aged 67, was found unresponsive at his Malibu home on Thursday, July 3. His actress sister Virginia, 63, reminisced about him in an emotional statement. In her touching tribute to Variety, she expressed: "My brother Michael has left the stage. "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother - etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark. "We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth - but flesh and blood and ferocious heart. Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes - gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable - half legend, half lullaby. "I'll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I'll miss the boy he was before the legend; I miss my big brother. Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we'll share how we plan to celebrate his life - but for now, we stay close, and let the silence say what words can't." Vivica A. Fox, Michael's Kill Bill co-star, reflected to the New York Post: "I had the pleasure of working with Michael Madsen on Kill Bill several other films! Michael was a talented man with an AMAZING on-screen presence! My deepest condolences and prayers to his family." Michael was celebrated for leaving behind an enduring impact in the world of entertainment; he is and will continue to be greatly missed. Harvey Keitel, with whom Madsen shared the screen in 'Reservoir Dogs,' paid a poignant tribute, saying: "We've lost another great American poet. Farewell, my dear friend. I'll never forget one of the best scenes I've ever seen on film - of you and Chris Penn fighting in 'Reservoir Dogs.' A great love scene. Give Chris a hug for me." Chris Penn tragically passed away in 2006 at the age of 40. Actor James Woods also shared his own memories of working with Madsen on social media, writing: "Oh man, this is a hard one. Michael and I did The Getaway together. We did Straight Talk together. "I was always touched by his sweet nature and generosity, the absolute opposite of the 'tough guys' he portrayed so brilliantly. Rest in Peace, dear friend." Rob Schneider also shared a heartfelt tribute, stating, "Michael Madsen was a dream to work with. A truly gifted actor gentleman who made every person on the set comfortable; generous with his stories with his infectious laughter. "I only wish we could have done more things together in this crazy business. My love to his kids friends."

Michelle Obama slammed for promoting products ahead of Fourth of July in 'strange' new move
Michelle Obama has baffled social media users after she filmed herself flogging a 'useless' drink ahead of Fourth of July celebrations. On Wednesday, the former First Lady, 61, took to Instagram with a friendly reminder for her 57 million followers 'to stay safe and hydrated this Independence Day weekend.' In a promotional video, Michelle - whose marriage to Barack Obama has been mired with rift rumors - shared her message with a bottle of PLEZi Fizz and PLEZi Hydrate clearly visible in the foreground. 'I just love everything about the Fourth of July,' she began. 'Friends, family, barbecue and fireworks. And, as you and your families are out there, don't forget to stay hydrated. 'PLEZi Hydration or PLEZi FiZZ are great options with less sugar to try out this weekend. Have a great holiday weekend everybody.' Michelle's followers were perturbed by her advertisement though, with many feeling uneasy to see her promoting a drink. Taking to the comments, one wrote: 'This is so strange.' 'No, Michelle please, don't sell us useless products,' another added. 'You lowkey too good to be doing this,' said a third. A fourth continued: 'It's really weird that you're like hawking a drink. It seems beneath you.' But there is a simple explanation for Michelle's promotional video: she is a co-founder of PLEZi Nutrition. Michelle has spent several years working to help families lead healthier lives, and she is hoping that her new drink brand, sponsored by Stephen Curry, Alysha Curry, and Kristen Bell, will help shake-up the industry. 'As a mom and as First Lady, I've seen how critical good nutrition is at all stages of development,' she penned in a letter about the brand's story. 'It's why I've spent so many years working to help families lead healthier lives. 'But l've also learned that if you want to change the game on this issue, you have to change the food and beverage industry itself. 'That's what we're doing with PLEZi Nutrition, and it's why I'm proud to serve as Co-Founder and Strategic Partner. Michelle's followers were perturbed by her advertisement though, with many feeling uneasy to see her promoting a drink 'We're a Public Benefit Company that's working to drive the kind of positive change that I've always hoped to see — and set higher standards for how we make and market food and drinks along the way.' Michelle continued: 'Our initial focus is on beverages because that's where so much added sugar is consumed. 'While water is always the best, PLEZi is a great option for those moments where you want something else. 'Our drinks not only significantly reduce sugar and sodium, they include more nutrients than other leading options—and they're delicious, too! 'Still, we know that changing the industry isn't about a few drinks or even one company. 'We need everyone — business, government, nonprofits, and folks like you — to come together and create the better, more nutritious options that so many of us are looking for. 'I hope you'll join us and give PLEZi products a try — and don't forget to tell us what you think!' PLEZi Fizz is made with real fruit and contains no added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Similarly, PLEZi Hydration also has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners. It also contains 500mg potassium. A case of Plezi Fizz - which comes in Lemon Lime Squeeze, Cherry Limeade and Strawberry Lemonade - costs $13.79 for 18 cans at Costco.

100 life-sized elephants have arrived in Los Angeles as part of a free, public exhibition
This summer, Beverly Hills has been overrun—in the best possible way—by a thundering herd of elephants. One hundred life-sized elephant sculptures have officially taken up residence in Beverly Gardens Park as part of The Great Elephant Migration, a free public art exhibition and global conservation campaign running through Friday, August 1. Spanning four blocks along Santa Monica Boulevard from Rodeo Drive to Rexford Drive, the handcrafted herd marks the grand finale of a 5,000-mile journey across the U.S. that began on the East Coast. But these aren't just photogenic pachyderms. Each sculpture was made from invasive lantana by Indigenous artisans from India's Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and modeled after real elephants known to the communities who live alongside them. Their final push west was a symbolic convoy that crossed iconic American landscapes from Yellowstone to Joshua Tree. Along the way, the elephants were honored by tribal leaders, serenaded by drummers, escorted down the Las Vegas Strip (yes, really) and cheered by supporters from Blackfeet Nation to Beverly Hills. The elephants arrive not just as art but as ambassadors. 'The Great Elephant Migration is more than an art installation,' said Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian. 'It's a powerful sign of a reminder of our joint responsibility to protect our planet and wildlife.' On July 20, the installation gets even more stylish with Wrapped in History, a textile takeover featuring 70 bespoke blankets created by global designers. The works will be auctioned online, with the proceeds supporting wildlife coexistence efforts worldwide. And for those looking to make the magic permanent, the elephants themselves are also for sale, ranging from $8,000 to $22,000. The grand finale is a public farewell event on August 1 called 'Kiss Them Goodbye,' hosted by luxury beauty brand Chantecaille, one of the migration's key sponsors. Snap a photo, bring a friend, maybe fall in love with a tusker—but know that this installation is here to move hearts and habitats.
