Whet Your Appetite
Indulgence Awaits
You live in a fast-paced world of instant gratification, banal communication, and constant demands for pieces of you. They take, and you give — one thing after another. You see your life spread out before you like a game of cards being dealt — each moment hitting the table so fast they start to blur together.
Stop.
Close your eyes. Breathe in.
Open your eyes. Exhale. Let go.
Relax.
Very rarely do we remember to take that important moment to breathe, plan indulgences, and set aside time for self-care. Even less often do we treat ourselves to the things we enjoy, crave, and need most. You don't just want stimulating material, you want connection. The dream long distance girlfriend. We get one life to enjoy as much as we can. It is time to stop wanting, time to stop needing, and time to start having.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
—Mary Oliver
Are deep, passionate, and intense — a person in need of an escape from their daily life. Those moments you pick up your phone to scroll and distract yourself are truly moments you wish you had someone to talk to. You seek a digital companion who will engage your senses, arouse your curiosities, awaken your fire, and ignite your passions. You understand that true stimulation starts with the mind and slowly envelops every part of you as time unfolds.
You already know what I want: to make you happy. You have a great sense of humour, love laughter, and cherish good times. You find intelligent conversation to be the best precursor to a memorable experience. You're smart with your money, preferring to plan and indulge in things and experiences of enduring value. You know what’s real is always worth it, and that anticipation is its own form of indulgence.
You value interesting people and consider yourself a connoisseur of good company — virtual or otherwise. Whether we're watching a movie, having a deep conversation, playing a video game, or cooking the same meal at the same time...you realise it’s the who as much as the what that makes a virtual experience feel real. You seek someone nice to look at, down to earth, and fully present.
You are looking for someone who composes themselves with decorum and prefers to avoid drama, strife, and negativity. You are seeking to relax with someone who understands you — someone who smiles, laughs, and makes you do the same. You aren't just looking for tantalising pictures, you want someone who truly feels like a long distance girlfriend.
Someone who makes you excited to pick up your phone every morning to see what the day has in store.
If you see yourself in these words at all I encourage you to continue reading, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Me*lis”sa n, a feminine name: dim. Mel; Sweet; Outgoing; Honest; Easy to talk to; Sarcastic; Girl next door with an enigmatic twist; Acronym: MELISSA: My Entire Life Is Spent Striving Ahead.
I was born on the tail end of things being built to last. I have sculpted myself into an adaptive, resilient person ready for whatever life has up its sleeve. I grew up on the back of a motorcycle and have spent my years on the road ever since — cultivating my skills, absorbing experiences, and becoming a facilitator of grand adventures. Now, I’m here to help you begin yours.
I’m genuinely interested in what makes you you. I love figuring out what makes you both tick and explode, continually surprising and pleasing you in all the best ways. I believe deeper connections deepen pleasure, and I will take your satisfaction to new peaks the longer we are friends. Like the finest wine, connection only improves with time. Despite not being physically together, we’ll breathe in moments where time stands still and luxury becomes the art of indulgence. The essence of luxury isn’t about expensive brands and showing off — it’s about thoughtfulness, and the details that make you feel pampered and cherished. True luxury isn’t about a price tag and proof that the simplest pleasures are often the most profound. Luxury is about quality. If you're here for someone who cares what colour the bottom of their shoes are, you are in the wrong place.
I am a specialist in the real. I look forward to lingering over fine conversation as time dissolves in a virtual room with no clock, where we will lazily become intoxicated by each other.
You could describe me as a walking contradiction, an artist, a writer, and a perfectionist who enjoys both the simpler and finer things in life — they’re not mutually exclusive. Never once have I been described as typical, average, or ordinary. Instead, I find myself described as witty, outgoing, and creative. I hear that I have a great sense of humour and love making people laugh — something I promise to do often. Life is about humour and finding joy in every moment.
I am infinitely adaptable and endlessly flexible. I live in a mountain home, and my outdoor hobbies include walking, hiking, backpacking, cycling, primitive camping, and kayaking. Indoors, I enjoy playing my arcade machine, working out while watching videos, or spending time with a book, canvas, computer, or console. I hope to get back into sculpture someday with a woodshop and maybe some metalworking equipment, but for now, I use found materials. To relax, I love gardening, painting, sculpting, spending time with my animals, and cooking. I also have a deep love of driving and cars — namely, of the three-pedal variety.
I am a simple person who lives a simple life on my own terms. I live by the adage I never wish to be the company that misery loves. Your right to swing your fist ends an inch from my face, and I deeply believe in the adage “live and let live” as well as “life is too short for hate” The world is complicated enough, and I see no reason to add to that. I value privacy so I choose not to carry a smartphone, and I conduct all communication through ethereal encrypted messages.
Are you ready to heighten your senses and unlock the next level of self-care? If this has spoken to you, it's time to let me help you redefine luxury.
It’s about the kind of moments where the world falls away, where connection feels effortless and genuine. Time slows as we indulge in the luxury of each other. The moments we craft will linger with you long after our time as friends has passed. We’ll share quiet laughter, meaningful conversation, and fun moments that will weave their way into your memory. It’s always about the moments we create together.
It’s not about what we do, but how we do it — intentionally, authentically, and with attention to detail. Together, we’ll craft something that is uniquely ours. Something that brings lightness, joy, and a sense of escape from the demands of everyday life. Whenever we connect, the world slows down...the noise fades.
Our story has yet to be written, but this is where it begins.
A Curation of Distinction
What's real is always worth it
I love and cherish gifts — as most people do. But please remember gifts and tips are always optional, and the best treasure is the pleasure becoming regular friends. However, if you wanted to spark joy in my heart a different way, feel free to swipe through this curation of brands I enjoy:
If you prefer more concrete direction, I encourage you to check the Puffy Princess' wishlist as well as my wishlist for everyday ideas, my Marigold account for more luxurious offerings, or perhaps my photography wishlist if you really want to get me going. I also collect leather envelopes, dossiers, and portfolios. Those are an easy slam dunk.

Philanthropy
Help me help others
My true passion is community outreach. I don’t want “X cents on the dollar” to help people, I want to help people. Our lives are but a speck of dust in the grand scheme of this existence, and our entire purpose on this earth is to make it better for the next group of people that come along. We live in the age of arrogance and the era of entitlement. We can only move out of that by recognising it and doing more for others. The only way I see to do that is by improving the lives of people who are alive today and need help so that they can build better futures to pass on. You can talk to me directly to find out what hands on projects I've got going, or here are some organisations near and dear to my heart.
You may be asking yourself WHY? at this point. Why? The real question is why not? There is no such thing as a “lost cause” when you are referring to a human being. We are in such a position of privilege in this industry to really reach out to people with resources who can help those in need. It also serves as a way to make a positive impact using an industry most see as a blight on society. It's fun to defy stereotypes and prove people wrong, if nothing else.
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
— Pericles
Charities
I prefer doing hands on work whenever possible. For the things I can't help directly, the following are charities I support:
I can't give you a tax deduction, but I offer you something special if you donate $250 or more to one of the charities on this list in my name (with proof).
