Most of the time, people don't notice me. I'm anonymous at the mall, blending into the crowd in my t-shirt, shorts and sandals. You might see me in my hard hat and jeans, dirty and sweaty at a job site. I might be outside a downtown office building, a wage slave, faceless in my baggy khakis and wrinkled polo shirt. You would hardly give me a second glance. But every once in a while, I change that. I become more than what I am. I become something just a little more special. I know, I know. I've heard it countless times. I don't need to do this. All the ladies want is for me to be clean, polite, respectful. I'm sure having that all-important envelope with me doesn't hurt either. Besides, I'm just going to take my clothes off right away anyway. But no. I don't do things in half measures. I already have those basics down. But I'll go just a little further. Just that little bit more. I dress up as if I'm going on a real date. I wear what I think will please her. Sometimes she doesn't even seem to notice. Sometimes I just get a quick 'nice clothes', after all my efforts. But that's OK. I'm really doing this for me anyway. For you see, the clothes are part of the ritual for me. They put me in the right frame of mind for the evening. I slip on my Birdboy persona along with the clothes that will best complement my lady. I want to live that fantasy to my fullest. I'm going to be just who I want to be. I want to show only the best of me, even if it's only for a few hours. My evening starts well before that door opens and I step through. I begin with a shave, thorough hot shower, deodorant, hair gel, cologne. After that? Well, that depends on the lady. Take this evening, for instance. My lady is slim, charming, classy. Mature, a delight in both the drawing room and those wonderful more private spaces just a few steps up. I know we'll get comfortable on the sofa, sip white wine and chat. She loves loves loves clothes. I know just how much trouble she goes to, to dress for me. It's only fair that I do too. I don't hold back when I dress for her. I know she'll notice. I slip on a new pair of silk boxers. I know that she'll see and feel the cool slipperiness under her warm fingers, and my firm buttocks under them. I pull on my pants, finely woven tan linen for this sweltering summer evening. They are tailored to perfection. I put on a pair of fine silk socks, woven with a tiny intricate pattern. First one, then the other. I think for a moment, then pull out a shirt from my closet. I love this shirt. It's Egyptian cotton, thin, crisp, the colors bright. Its blue, tan, and white stripes reminds me of a lady I fondly remember, and magical moments on her striped blue sheets. I button my shirt, and tease a pair of cufflinks into the cuffs. They make me smile. They have an enameled blue bird on them. My calling card. My namesake. I put on my watch, a family heirloom. Perfectly polished and poised on its leather strap whispering sophistication, rather than shouting for attention. My shoes. Oh, those shoes. My stylish Italian dress shoes. They've borne me over her threshold many a time, to joys untold. I know they will many more times yet. They match my belt to perfection. I had burnished them to a dull glow only moments before. I pick them up from their repose beside my bed. I shoehorn them on and tie their laces. I reach into my closet and pull out my tailored sport coat. It's warm outside, but my unlined navy blue linen jacket is cool. That extra layer will be welcome when I leave her home later. Much, much later. I'm almost ready to go. I pick up my keys and sunglasses. I slip a small white envelope into my jacket inside pocket. I take a last look in the mirror, and then I step out the door. My ritual is over. My evening has just begun.

This has been bothering me lately but I have found that people I have come into contact with recently have become very rude. All they seem to do is text away while you're trying to have a conversation with them so I stopped speaking and the room went silent and then they were forced to say something. Or what really upsets me is when people leave their phones on during an encounter with an SP or client and they let it ring and ring and don't consider turning the ringer off. In some instances they have gotten up while being in the middle of an appt and actually answered the phone. Yes, I was appalled!! It seems as though they are having a relationship with their blackberry or cell phone and don't care to have interaction with others. Next time you're texting in the company of others, take a minute to think about how it affects others. The person who I once highly regarded I now consider pretty rude and self absorbed. It isn't always about business. Think about how it is affecting your current business and personal relationships. End of rant....

Something many here might forget is that not every one knows about CERB. Much of my correspondence through my diary is asking about positive reviews, I direct them all to CERB many of those who found my diary through CL are grateful for learning about cerb. Before speaking with me they had no idea it even existed. CL has more lows than it does highs. Much like CERB, CL is a resource, Unlike CERB it is not policed and poorly moderated. The Mod and good people at Escorts Canada have helped define the community we all love and enjoy here. We shouldn't scold folks for using CL, if used wisely it can be a very viable and valuable resource. Instead we should invite them to join cerb and be part of something so much better. Many of the people on CL don't know that there are better, more reputable options out there, we should be more inviting and supportive to bring in new membership and help build and foster our community. If someone has had a good experience with a provider on CL then by all means they should share it here and encourage the provider to join cerb. Personally I've met a number of ladies through CL who have become popular and well recommended providers here on CERB. We all have to start somewhere. As for the drama that comes with CL, it certainly does not belong here. It's for this reason that I started the diary a few years back. I was filling up the warnings section daily with posts about fakers and scams. But I didn't want my only contributions to this board to be negative so I started the diary. By starting the diary I became another portal to help promote cerb. This thread has brought up some interesting discussion and opinions and for the most part we all agree. I thinks it fair to say that rather than judge others though we should do whatever we can to let folks know there are alternatives.

Well said. CL is simply an advertising site, just like any other. There are paid and unpaid sites out there, and the chances of good and bad experiences come equally. Before they used CL, the scammers used other venues including paying for ads which sounds unbelievable but true. Personally as someone who uses it, I plan to continue because no other site (or combination of sites and other venues) can compete with the traffic that we get as working sps from that site. No other site can offer someone testing out the business as an sp an opportunity to set herself up to get to that place where she has fancy ads and websites and pictures. And no other venue has the ability to find absolutely new to this clients who don't have a ton of expectations or concerns about setting up an appt and just having a good time. They don't flit from sp to sp, as do those on the other review boards. They become long term regular clients, are as respectful, courteous, wealthy, hygienic, as any one with more experinence in this hobby. They are as likely to be rude or not as anyone who finds us on sp advertising forums, and as likely to show or no show as well. Neither the clients nor the sps who use CL are the dregs of society, or less worthy or less reputable than the sps and clients of other sites. CL is not the place to go only when you want to find some cheap date with questionable services. It is extremely offensive to me and others I am sure to be lumped in with some broad brush strokes, sweeping everyone who uses it like something distasteful. we have experienced escorts who charge 350-400-500 per hour with extremely good reputations and very well reviewed use it regularly. If someone thinks they are too good for CL, or somehow thinks they are "better" than those who use it, or that the cliente is less worthy of their time, I wonder what they think of these ladies who place ads there? You really think someone who advertises a special at 400/hr daytime rate is going to have to deal with a lot of 80 buck offers lol? I think that I really really get offended by such statements as this not just because I and many sps I know and admire use it, but also that the clients who come from seeing my ads there a truly wonderful men. I feel distressed that anyone would consider that these guys are unworthy of their consideration, or less than human because they use CL. I feel sorry for anyone who is so narrow and judgmental about this topic, that they would prefer to view the advertisers as subpar or not capable of a professional attitude. Fact is many of the well reviewed and reputable ladies of cerb use CL. Diss CL and you diss us all, imo. Also, if you haven't used it, then perhaps sit back and listen to the advice and experiences of those of us who do. If after 3 years, neither grasshopper nor myself have abandoned using CL, there must be something to it, no?

Most of CL clients are very young, and SOMETIMES real assholes, but most of CERB clients are no-shows... And also, ladies, what are you complaining about? I mean, I agree that there's a lot of competition, but someone who's reliable and offer a good level of service should'nt be worried about this... I have to agree that it is more dangerous for the guys... B&S is nothing compare to certain situations I've read on the cowboy's diary, so I can understand that a guy won't visit CL, but a lady? You think CL is more dangerous then CERB? Have you ladies took the time to read our section? And what kind of situation we sometimes are regarding men on here? How many thread have been written only regarding the basic guidelines when we have a rendez-vous, only in the Newbies section? Seriously, I do agree that asking for X or X from CL is a litlle too much... Do your homeworks, find a reco, check out CK's blog, and if you don't find anything, risk it if you really feel the need to... As for me, I've been advertising on CL since over 3 years, and I don't really see the difference between the two regarding the clientele. Out of the scams, dangerous situation, spams,... I have absolutely no reason to quit it, since it brings me more clients...

Although I am not a big fan of cl and have never made a post about cl or met anyone from this site I think I disagree. Many of the most well respected ladies on cerb also advertise on cl so for sure there are lots of good experience's to be found on the site and if someone from this site does have a good experience from the site should they not be able to share with all? As for the has anyone seen so and so from cl post there may very well be someone who has seen this person and can provide the poster with information good or bad and may spare the poster a bad experience or from a dangerous situation. This sharing of information is what I think the site is about. I totally agree with Cindy there are plenty of ladies on cerb

I have been following this thread and thus far have kept my mouth shut. And Karine has not chimed in, so at this point, it's just speculation as to whether she or someone out to bash her or she wrote it. And I don't think she needs to justify or defend herself in this manner - again not what CERB is about, right? Nevertheless, we are commenting on something written on CL. I don't believe it should be discussed here on CERB. It's negative and not in the spirit of what this board is all about. Cheek to Cheek was the only other member commenting to point that out. I guess it will be up to the MOD to correct me if I am wrong. With that being said, my only other comment would be - leave it where it was initiated from - on CL.

We're ALL prostitutes under the law, regardless of how we each individually identify. I'm sure you meant no ill will Lindsay, but dividing us based on "class" isn't helpful. Legally, things just get more and more depressing.
