“I’m pro prostitution, it avoids frustration and I admire people who do it. Thank goodness for it, we can’t all afford a mistress or an expensive friend. It has a role in society otherwise it wouldn’t be the world’s oldest profession.”
Karl Lagerfeld

Employment

It can be incredibly daunting making that first call, especially when you have no idea what to expect. You may be uncertain as to what we are looking for, or be sure if the sex industry is even for you. We address each inquiry as just that, an inquiry. There is no obligation.

Being female and enjoying male desire is nothing to be ashamed of. The women who work at Bon Ton all find it incredibly empowering as we encourage them to be in control at all times. Your well-being is first and foremost.   

You are considered a self-employed contractor and we work for you. We take your bookings, organise your schedule and provide a safe and elegant environment. Clothing, shoes and accessories are all supplied; all you need to bring is your lingerie and a positive attitude for work.

We operate on an ‘on call’ basis, so there is no sitting around on endless shifts in mindless boredom. You dictate your hours, we work around your schedule be it study or work. 

If, for any reason, you don’t connect with a particular client, we make sure you won’t have to see them again.

Discretion is paramount, both for you and for the clients. We understand that friends and family may not be so open-minded so we take every precaution to ensure your anonymity is always protected.

Bon Ton is not only the highest-paying agency in New Zealand, your percentage of the hourly fee is also higher than anywhere else so we encourage you to limit the amount of appointments you do per day, we want you to enjoy yourself.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We believe a woman can be smart, successful AND sexy – At ANY age, so we are interested in working with women between the ages of nineteen and sixty.

Some of Bon Ton’s most beautiful and most popular escorts have been in their early sixties. Sexually confident and devoid of the insecurities younger women sometimes posses, older women have a definite market.

Whatever your age, the same requirements apply, you must be health conscious and engage in regular fitness.

Your body is your business and as New Zealand’s most expensive agency, our clients will only invest in women whose bodies are well cared for.

Whilst most of our clients seem to prefer smaller dress sizes, if you have a good diet and a regular exercise regime, (or just good genes) slightly larger sizes are sometimes accepted.

Many girls have told us they looked at our escort’s photos and worried they wouldn’t be good enough. We are not looking for perfect bodies or supermodels, what Bon Ton has become synonymous with is confident, feminine and sexually uninhibited women.

Most girls who come to us fit some of those requirements, but not all. We work with you to help you realise your full potential, whether it is hair and make up, your diet, bedroom skills … whatever you feel you need help with.

For most, it will be your first experience being photographed naked, don’t worry, we take that very much into consideration and provide a fun and enjoyable experience.

If you’ve read through our website and decided you want to meet for a coffee and a chat, we look forward to hearing from you.

After that you can decide if it’s for you or not...

Letters

from our past girls

Angelique May, 2014

Well, I am not new in this industry and I have worked in other agencies in New Zealand and overseas. I have found something special and unique here.

At Bon Ton boutique agency, it is nothing but class, mutual respect and honesty. When I first met Jennifer, I was pretty impressed by this charismatic and naturally elegant lady and the way she runs her business.

Girls are very free with their shifts and there is no sitting around, which respects our private and social life. There is absolutely no pressure on us. If we don’t feel good for any reason, Jennifer totally understands it. She treats us like human beings, not like moneymakers, unlike some other places. She is a great listener with an incredible heart. Her girls have poise and a good education and many men would be proud to introduce them to their family as the perfect girlfriend.

As a European lady, I am very sensitive to a refined and classy work environment. At Bon Ton, the premises are incredibly gorgeous and tastefully decorated with antique furniture. A dream for those who enjoy the very best beautiful girls in a feminine apartment. When I first came in, I was enchanted by the way Jennifer uses the great space of the apartment, fully decorated with lamps, candles, large sofas and cushions.

Clients are well-groomed, polite and treat us like ladies, not like prostitutes. In some other places, I have seen rude clients who think if they pay they are allowed to do everything – and they are sometimes even supported by the owner as the client is always king!

Thank you Jennifer for this unique experience. You are an example to follow in the industry. At Bon Ton, there is a fresh air of free sexuality, an enjoyable experience in a sexy atmosphere. The true “libertinage”.

Bon Ton has been voted as the best agency in the world and it deserves it! Bon Ton is always copied but never equalled.

Bons baisers.

Making the decision to approach Jennifer about a position at Bon Ton was extremely daunting for me as I had never worked in the industry before. I was in the final stages of completing a degree and having been a student for a while I was feeling the financial strain. Deciding to take the plunge wasn’t all about money; I wasn’t forced into the job by debt or an unhealthy addiction like so many people assume the case to be with sex workers. It wasn’t something I had ever really given much thought to and I can honestly say that I never expected it to be something I would want to do. But here I am, and without the word of a lie I can genuinely say that it has been one of the better decisions I have made to date, albeit one of the more crazy ones.

I never would have considered the industry if somewhere like Bon Ton didn’t exist. I had no idea what to expect out of the experience and while a big part of me was terrified I couldn’t ignore the allure of the unknown, the intrigue and the secrecy. I was planning an overseas holiday the first time I seriously entertained the idea of becoming an escort. I browsed the establishments in my area on the Internet and my curiosity was peaked. It’s in my nature to be impulsive so less than a week later I forced myself to call Jen. I was mildly relieved when the call went to answer phone and I left what I’m sure was a panicked and barely legible message. By the time Jen returned my call I had gathered myself a little and I agreed to meet with her. It all happened really fast, which in hindsight, I’m grateful for or I may not have had the courage to see the decision through.

Jen arranged for me to meet a regular to the establishment for my first booking, a nice man who really helped me to relax. I was so nervous I couldn’t stop shaking but I got through the booking and was surprised at how natural the experience was. Having worked at Bon Ton for almost a year now I am really confident and completely at ease in my role as a seductress but I was surprised to find it was in my nature all along. I had only had two sexual partners when I started at Bon Ton and the job has allowed me to explore my sexuality without judgement from others. Bon Ton is not the kind of place where girls are subjected to degradation and an exhaustive rotational schedule. Some people might think the $400 hourly rate is steep, even absurd, but to put it simply “you get what you pay for”. The higher hourly rate allows us girls to work less and by seeing less clients we build a genuine rapport and enjoy our time with those clients.

I was really surprised to find that every girl I met at Bon Ton was passionate, intelligent and driven. They were all so down-to-earth and nothing like the stereotype I had allowed society to build up in my head. As the months passed on I have become really confident in my own skin. I enjoy what I do, granted I have off-days but I try to never let that show. There have been times that I have struggled to make a connection with a client and that is always really difficult for me. I’m naturally a caring person and I want my clients to feel both comfortable and fulfilled from their time with me. I never planned to work for long and while it will never be a permanent situation for me I must admit that the earning potential will be hard to leave behind.

Working at Bon Ton has allowed me to become financially independent for the first time in my life. The flexibility of the job gives me freedom in my days to pursue my personal endeavours uninhibited by a pressing schedule. I have not told anyone in my private life about my secret life and I can’t imagine I will. In a way I have developed an alter ego when I’m working; that person is left in the closet with my suspenders and lingerie and I am always excited to step into her shoes again.

I love the freedom of expression that comes with what I do, not to mention the power. Having grown men turn to putty in my hands never fails to amuse me, I just love it! I have made friends with a lot of my clients, and while our relationship will always be professional it gives meaning to the job for me. I have never been coerced into doing something I am not comfortable with. Even sex workers have their limits and mine have always been respected by Jennifer and my clients. There is a really great support network for sex workers in New Zealand; the Prostitutes Collective are amazing. If you are considering the industry and you’re feeling nervous, trust me I know how you feel! My advice to anyone reading this with a personal interest is to firstly make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons. For me, this was the right choice and has been a positive and liberating experience. To begin with I really battled with guilt for what I was doing and for hiding it from my friends and family. As time has passed I have come to understand that I am an individual and not all of my personal endeavours need to be shared. I have learnt to be independent, both financially and emotionally. I have become a stronger person that understands my personal boundaries and if anything I have developed more respect for myself as a person.

Bon Ton is a safe and supportive environment for attractive, ambitious and intelligent woman to explore their sexual prowess, and lets face it, to make a lot of money doing it. No, I haven’t made millions but I have been able to support myself whilst studying and simultaneously save up for an OE working less than quarter the hours my full-time employed friends do.

One day I will look back on my time as an escort and probably marvel that I had the guts to do it, but I’m happy that I did. I’m grateful that I chose Bon Ton where Jen has always supported me and never questioned me about my personal limits. At the end of the day I can say that I did something different or as Robert Frost more eloquently put it, “I took the road less travelled”. My self-worth has not diminished through my work as an escort, if anything my quality of life has been enriched. Whether you are an existing client, a potential client, a curious reader or a hopeful employee my advise is simple: You have to find it; no one else can find it for you.

My brief flirt with being a ‘working girl’ has been such an exciting rollercoaster, which I would quite happily repeat, again and again.

I stumbled across Bon Ton via a Google search. Eventually I made my way to the Bon Ton site and after a good nosy around I worked up the courage to call Jennifer. The first few times I just received voicemail, at first I thought, well that’s it, that’s a sign, and I can’t do it. But I persisted, and eventually I shakily told the voice on the other line that I was interested in ’employment’ with her. After explaining my situation I was asked to send in a few photos, and then asked to come along and meet my potential new employer … or pimp.

I was so incredibly nervous, the night before I didn’t sleep. I even cancelled once. After meeting Jennifer, seeing the premises and meeting some of the other girls (who are not dilapidated, burnt out, or desperate – in fact quite the opposite, in control, empowered, sexy and intelligent women who any mother would be delighted for her son to bring home for dinner), I was sold.

Jennifer told me to go home and think it over, absolutely no pressure, but I had already decided. My first client was the very next day, at 11am no less (which I found rather bewildering), but he was lovely, and fully aware that it was my first time as a working girl. At first I was timid, guilt-ridden and nervous to the point of actually walking out on a client. But I persisted (at absolutely no pressure from anyone, if I had wanted to walk away I was completely free to do so; my decision to stay came from within me).

After an unbelievably short amount of time, I was relaxed in the room, in charge, in control, and had a feeling of sex appeal and confidence. I think I will always carry this feeling of confidence and empowerment within me now. I know this will be useful in all aspects of my life; I have learnt so much about myself through this experience.

I worked for about one month in total, and had many repeat clients. I never felt fearful once inside Bon Ton. My only fear surrounding the experience was being ‘outed’ to my friends and family. I feel no shame for the work that I did, but it is still an industry ‘in the shadows’, purely because of public opinion. Although, it would be extremely interesting to know how many people simply appear to have this opinion because it is what is expected of any respectable person. Every single one of my clients were respectable men, in high powered jobs, I have never met so many lawyers before!

During my time as a working girl I have gained a financially favorable position, new friends who I respect so much, and a self assuredness which I believe will hold me in great stead for all my future life endeavors.

Dear friend,

There are few reasons why you would read this page, you are either interested in whether to work for BonTon, to start work in this industry, or you are male and wondering what ladies have to say about working for BonTon. I will briefly give you my personal experience with BonTon and Jennifer.

I choose this agency for few reasons. First of all, this agency offered the most money. The ladies looked really beautiful (the sexy I wanna-be look), and the website, out of all in Wellington, portrayed BonTon as a reputable escort agency rather than a brothel. Also, being able to choose the hours to work suited my personal timetable as I was a full-time employee. In addition, on a personal note, I always had the curiosity towards the industry, but did not want to join the chain of sex workers. Once I met Jennifer, I found her to sincerely care about my personal well being, and whether I would be fit to start such work. With guidance, and support, I started the work, and in short time, four months, I have gained more than I could have ever expected.

First of all I have saved $10,000 that allowed me now to live my dream and go on a fantastic overseas trip. It has sexually liberated me, allowing me to be myself and learn about myself. Furthermore, with support of Jennifer, new found ‘female’ confidence also contributed to my success in a very male orientated industry in which I worked full time. Not to mention all the wonderful people that I have met, co-workers and clients.

Full respect to Jennifer and the way she runs the agency. Her careful choice of ladies allows you to meet some women that are in so many ways admirable, who now have my full respect and friendship, and their support and attitude contributed to my positive experience of this industry. The drug free, clean, and stylish environment, also the etiquette and code of demeanour that gentlemen have to obey make the work even more enjoyable and, most importantly, safe. You take what you want out of this work. If you decide to join, I cannot recommend any other agency, nor would I ever want to work for any other. In this short journey, I have gained an honest friend, learned about myself, gained new life skills, and achieved my goal. You can say that I had a wonderful experience, and I cannot thank enough BonTon, all the wonderful gentleman that I met, and Jennifer for supporting me and keeping me safe. In this work, personal attitude I believe is the most important, and with focus, and a bit of light-heart, I am sure you will be able to achieve what you are working for as well.

Well, with this small letter I really hope that I was able to summarise for you the experience that I have had with BonTon, and if you start work here, I really hope you enjoy yourself as much as I enjoyed myself.

Having never worked in this industry, let alone another establishment, taking the plunge to call Jennifer at Bon Ton was a daunting experience. The reality was in fact a very comfortable, rewarding experience in more than one sense of the word.

Rewarding in not only a financial capacity but in the experiences, conversations and friendships you will encounter at Bon Ton. The premises are tastefully decorated, Jennifer puts you at ease immediately and the remuneration package is appealing.

For the majority of women and certainly in my case, this is not a suitable long term line of employment regardless of the quality of establishment and clientele. The life of a sex worker can be quite demanding and disruptive to your regular routine and lifestyle – particularly the secrecy involved. I am quite certain Bon Ton offers the least disruption. Bon Ton is incredibly discreet and private, you are free to work the hours you like and always have a choice. Bon Ton provides immaculate premises to work from and the highest earning capacity proportionate to the number of clients seen and hours worked in this industry in Wellington.

I’m a corporate girl, I don a suit and work alongside high powered business people by day yet have been able to manage a discreet alternative source of income by night.

The majority of clients are intellectuals and are generally intelligent and respectful making for a more enjoyable work experience if you are of a friendly, inquisitive nature. They want to be able to share a decent conversation with you and feel you are really listening – Bon Ton is never just about sex. I’ve enjoyed amazing, insightful conversations with people I may never have encountered in my regular life.

I’m not trying to romanticise an industry that is traditionally frowned upon and associated with drugs and low self-respect but rather trying to offer insight into the best the industry has to offer.

So if you are ready to take the plunge or curious enough just to enquire – let’s face it, you are reading this now – then give Jen a call to discuss your options with no pressure or obligation. If you’re going to work, work in the best place possible, with the best people and earn the most money while you can!

I was asked to write about my personal experience working at Bon Ton and to be honest; I really don’t know where to start. My position at the time was that of a solo mother who was studying full time at university. I was working as an escort privately, advertising on the internet, when I met Jennifer who asked if I would like to work with her at Bon Ton.

My perception of agencies (having never worked at one) was that I would have to work two or three evenings a week, sitting around on 10 or 12 hour shifts and having men come and ‘view’ me to see if I was what they wanted for the next 1/2hr or hour. When Jennifer explained how Bon Ton worked, it only took me a couple of days to make my decision, which was to take the position she had offered.

I was able to study at university a couple of hours a day, work a couple of hours a day and still be home in time to make dinner for my child. I picked which days and which hours I wanted to work. If something came up, I could just let her know in the morning that I wasn’t available that day – there was no pressure to come to work. In saying that, working is what you make of it. The more you are available, the more money you will make. For me personally, being on call and just coming in to work when I had a booking worked brilliantly, but it also meant to get the money I wanted, I was on call most days. For other people, perhaps working a 12hr shift in one go and getting it all over and done with in the one night may suit them better, Bon Ton just offers another option that’s all.

I can’t compare the different clientele Bon Ton has in relation to other places, but I can say that the men I met were well groomed, very pleasant to be around and treated me like a woman, not a prostitute. The rooms we used were as comfortable as any hotel room and I forgot I was working 90% of the time.

If you are looking at working in this industry, then you need to decide what would work for you. If you are looking at supplementing your income, then Bon Ton would probably be a good place for those ‘extra hours’ of work. If escorting is going to be your sole income, then working at Bon Ton alone may not be enough, it just doesn’t have the high number of men that other places do. For me personally, I preferred the lower number of men, I got to know them on a more personal level and was able to relax and enjoy my time with them knowing I didn’t have to quickly kick them out and get ready for the ‘next one’.

The only reason I left, was because of a life change, not because of Bon Ton itself. If I was to go back working, I would only go back to Bon Ton depending on my situation.

After coming to Bon Ton I don’t think there is anywhere else I’d rather work. Here it’s discreet, classy, well paid – you see half the amount of clients you’d see in a parlour and double the pay.

We are all treated like ladies and respected by clients and boss.

Plus another bonus – you don’t sit around waiting all day – it’s on call so you can go about your usual day.

I would highly recommend it to anyone considering working.

To whom it may concern,

As a solo parent, on two occasions I sojourned into the sex industry as a way of supporting my family commitments.

Both times I ended my terms quickly (max 3 months) as I found the modus operandi of the proprietors unsuitable to my perceptions of professionalism and their level of appreciation of the service I was providing decidedly lacking; consequently I saw women, myself included, over-worked to the point of emotional collapse.

Now, as an older woman, I found myself unable to tolerate tawdry surroundings and disrespectful management. My experience working for Bon Ton has been the antithesis to all others. Bon Ton is not only run as a contract partnership between the women and the proprietor, the environment surpasses any in New Zealand to date. Women are appreciated for the quality of service we provide, this is reflected in the excellent level of remuneration we receive and also in the way management cares for our person.

Regards,

Milly
