Guest:

Delphine is a hairy, all natural escort based in the SF Bay Area. She loves engineering creative photo shoots, reading/watching science fiction (especially dystopians), and making fantasies come to life. She has been in the adult industry in various forms for about 15 years, and has been doing full service sex work as Delphine for the last 7.5 years.

She considers her 870+ day Duolingo streak to be one of her greatest achievements in life. An AI bot once described her as "a digital darling serving sass with a side of self-awareness and dad jokes" and that sounds about right.
