Announcing: The Paramour Collective!
I'm excited to share with you my most recent passion project. A group of sex workers in Berlin is founding the first worker-owned escort agency in Germany, if not the world. It will also be the first all-gender escort agency in Europe.While sex work is legal in Germany, we continue to be exploited by bad bosses, wh...
Nightclub Burlesque (live!)
Video from a burlesque at a recent party, which was a fundraiser for the Paramour Collective, the first all-gender worker-owned escort agency in Europe--my current passion project.
Ernestine in the Press
Dear Patrons,Almost as soon as I became a sex worker in Boston, where it is fully criminalized, I was struck by the injustice of my chosen profession being illegal and joined the Sex Worker Outreach Project. In 2017, I participated in the first Sex Worker Lobby Day on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., lobbying lawmaker...

An "Only in Berlin" Project
I want to share with you a project I’m really proud of.As many of you know, a big part of why I moved to Germany was to be able to work legally as a sex worker. Since I moved here, I’ve worked for three different companies—an escort agency, a bordello, and a massage studio—and while it’s been completely amazi...

Rehearsal: Rudolf's Burlesque
A burlesque created specifically for our union Congress, performed to great acclaim.It is the MOST fun when pastie glue fails in front of a bunch of German academics.Watch me develop an anarcho-syndicalist burlesque celebrating feminism and unionization. Again, I failed to have anyone film the performance, so lucky I c...
Rehearsal: Girly Burlesque
I had my first paid burlesque booking in Berlin a couple of months ago (Jesus Christ finally, right?). The city, one of the most vibrant artistic scenes in the world, is finally coming back in an absolutely magnificent way.You get a look inside my process of warm-up and how I work out what to perform.The performance it...

Born in the Wrong Era
Some weeks ago I was dancing in a fountain (and I mean IN the fountain, which is why I sat in the sun to dry off afterward, as you can see) for a photo shoot for a new agency job. Afterward, I was enjoying the gorgeous Volkspark Friedrischain (stay tuned to see the fountain reprised in a future video) and then had to t...
Bombshells

Ernestine EMERGES: "In Remembrance of a Garden" Am Rosengarten Karl-Marx Allee
Of all the extraordinary challenges of immigration, leaving behind such a beautiful home in stunningly bucolic Western Massachusetts for city life was certainly near the top of the list. Gardens to me are the most magical of safe spaces. Having worked that particular land for three seasons, saying goodbye to it was not...

Yoga Warm-Up: I'm ready for what's next.
So, I was approached on Instagram by one of these companies who promote their clothing by having it worn by fabulous people with a reasonably good following...I guess I'm an "influencer" now? Ok. I wonder if they realize I'm a hooker. You know how Americans can be about these things. (If you don't k...
My Live Berlin Debut: "The Bridge to St. Nizier" at the Sex Work Action Group demonstration
It was a stunning day.My comrades and I--having only 6 weeks earlier gotten together out of anger and frustration at the continued refusal of the German government to re-legalize our work--marched across Berlin with about 300 other sex workers and allies.For those brief few hours, we occupied the streets, in all our ba...
