C**** C***l

Brilliant idea!! At least now I know not to share my concepts so freely...I wish you all the best with your "new" endeavour - quite honestly, I thought it was going to be an e-book or series of articles...but I suppose it's not too difficult for you to take the documentary idea and make it your own! Not to worry, I do sincerely hope it works for you... One thing you might want to note though...in your call for escorts to audition, your site states: "We are not interested in casting any "madames", those running bawdy houses or those who are profiting from the proceeds of prostitution so as to avoid any conflict with law enforcement." Section 210 (1) of the criminal code states: Every one who keeps a common bawdy-house is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years. so, anyone who has an incall location is keeping a common bawdy house...any place used frequently or habitually for either the exchange of sexual services for money/good/services or for other "indecent acts" is considered a bawdy house...you will be limited to sex workers who only do outcalls...just so ya know good luck with your project...

Mount Carmel Clinic on Main Street also offers it...

Thanks Symone! I listened!!! I knew it was going to happen eventually...and I plan to go down fighting!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fantastic!! Let me know when they come in...oh and if you're up for giving lessons...I know some ladies who are very interested!!!:-D

What a great idea!! Mystique...I think I want to book you and your pole for a show/session...I have a couple of very special guys I want to give a very special gift to!! Great to see you the other night btw...what fun!! Thanks!

Duos can be so much fun...I work with a bunch of different ladies and we all have something different to offer...and then within the group, there are so many choices...all the women I do duos with are bisexual....there have been occasions when I call myself a lesbian with bi tendencies...LOL...but the important thing is that you determine what you want to experience out of a duo...then start emailing around and see who fits your needs... have fun and enjoy...

LOL Farmboy...I guess things must be going well in your corner of the world...good to know!! :roll:8):mrgreen:

First of all, don't get me wrong...I love this city!! I have to say though, if you think Ottawa is full of bargain basement shoppers....we are the wholesale capital of Canada...add to that a smaller population and trading area, double the number of providers compared to last year and fear-mongering media reports regarding the current economic crisis and you wind up with lots of unhappy hookers who are having trouble paying their bills... The truly bizarre thing is that Winnipeg's local economy is NOT floundering...last month our real estate sales still increased bi 3% over the previous year and while we are not getting the bidding wars of 2007 and 2008, actual market prices haven't dropped...we are a city on the flat prairies that maintains a flat economy...we don't see the peaks and valleys larger Canadian cities see... Fear plays a huge role in the slow down for Sex Workers here...however, my business has never been busier...part of that I will say is due to reputation, part is due to being one of the few Sex Workers to specialize in the Domme/Fetish trade, part is due to good marketing and putting creative strategies into place such as our Economic Stimulus Package , Frequent Pooner Program and Spa treatments with Joyful Conclusions! So while we did slightly decrease our rates, add half hour sessions and non-fs options, we also keep things interesting...good thing it seems to be working :-D

I am the mother of two kids, a 12 year old and a 17 year old...I became a Sex Worker (this is the term I use with my older child) in my early 40's...I already had a successful career and chose to fulfil what I can only say is my calling at a much later stage in life than many who work in this industry... Has being a parent affected me as a Sex Worker? Yes...there have been a few occasions where I have had to cancel sessions due to one or both of the kids being ill...it is unfortunate but life happens...often when we least expect it...fortunately, clients who I have had to cancel appointments with have been compassionate and understanding... My seventeen year old knows exactly what I do and has never been afraid to ask well thought out, relevant questions....personally, I have always maintained the fact that honest, age appropriate answers are best and will keep the lines of communication open...particularly during tougher adolescent stages...honest, and again I reiterate, age appropriate information about virtually any subject has been the catalyst that has resulted in an established deeper trust between my children and I... Has being a Sex Worker affected me as a parent? Yes...very recently, another Sex Worker reported me to Manitoba Child and Family Services with an anonymous allegation that I was putting my twelve year old at risk for abuse due to the nature of my work... How do I know it was another Sex Worker if the allegation was anonymous? The way allegation was worded was the biggest factor...and some of the accusations made were things known only after I posted them in the Ladies Lounge on another board... I was contacted at home after Abuse Investigators had my younger child taken out of class to be interviewed...a meeting was set up for an Abuse Investigator to come to my house to conduct an investigation the next day... Following a guilt-ridden, sleepless night imagining all the worst case scenarios, I submitted to two hours of questioning and an inspection of my incall space in my home...I was informed that my websites and advertising had been perused bi the agency... I was told that based on the fact that I don't see clients when my kids are home, and that a plan is in place to ensure the kids and my clients do not cross paths, the Abuse Investigator was reasonably sure the file would be closed... Once the report of the investigation was complete, I was called and told that my child was extremely intelligent, articulate and that based on the Abuse Investigators' findings, we were a family who relied on open, honest communication...I was also told the allegations were deemed to be unfounded and the file would indeed be closed... Another important point came from that last call...an assurance that what I choose to do for a living is my business (literally) and since there was no sign of abuse or risks of abuse, I didn't need to worry about this information being passed to any other agency or to LE... This situation, which arose from someone's need to be malicious, definitely affected me profoundly both as a parent and as a Sex Worker....it made me realize how important it is to bring about changing the perception society has of our industry...I also came to the conclusion that "coming out" as a Sex Worker was the first step...This was followed bi the realization that I needed to get more involved with organizations that are working locally, nationally and globally toward ensuring the rights of Sex Workers... For me this is a moral imperative; one that I hope will be taken up bi more Sex Workers and our Allies to create a grassroots movement... This will be the only way to change the thoughts of politicians, legislators and members of our communities... At the risk of sounding preachy, let's all do what we can to make our communities more sex-positive...please....

I am currently involved in something called The Sex Worker Alliance Project...the woman responsible for starting this project has recently written the first draft of what we are referring to as the Alternative Providers Code of Ethics...with permission, I am posting this draft version for your comments...please post, pm or email me your thoughts...I will provide your feedback to the members of The Sex Worker Alliance Project for consideration when creating the next draft...Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and share your insight... Alternative Provider?s Code of Ethics - DRAFT by Alexa on March 18, 2009 Alright, it is your turn. For those who haven?t seen it, here is my first attempt at a comprehensive Code of Ethics. Please read through it and make any comments you feel appropriate. This is still undergoing debate and critique within the community of sex workers, or alternative providers as some now like to refer to the collective group (and I?ve grown to like that term myself), so this may not be the final result. I am genuinely curious as to what others outside the industry think, however. Specifically, I?m interested in: * What do you think of the concept in general? * If you?re a client/potential client, would you be pick someone who conforms to this code of ethics over someone who didn?t (i.e, would it make a difference in who you selected)? And if so, do you think you?d be willing to pay a bit more to have someone who indicates an acceptance of a code of ethics (this one or otherwise)? * If you?re on the fence about decriminalization of sex work, would a professional code of ethics like this make you more inclined to support decriminalization? Why have a code of ethics? A code of ethics offers an invaluable opportunity for us as a profession, as individuals, to create a positive public identity which can (hopefully) lead to a more supportive political and regulatory environment, as well as an increased level of confidence and trust among our potential clients as well as the general public. That you subscribe to a set of ethical standards reflects that you take your work seriously and respect the desire of your clientele to want to see someone who is legitimate, honest, and operates within an identifiable set of standards. Alternative Provider?s Code of Ethics Preamble Sex-related work of any type is generally looked down upon by many in society. This, despite a long historical record of sex workers being among the most cherished and valued people in many civilizations; many were among the elite of their time. One who undertakes sex-related work as a primary profession or as an adjunct to another profession realizes that s/he exposes the most personal of space to the client in exchange for financial or practical remuneration. This close interaction requires a very high level of trust be established between the worker and the client, and it is critical that the client understand that s/he knows that s/he is dealing with someone who adheres to a strong code of ethics. The sex worker, regardless of the specific genre of work engaged in, should strive to accomplish three major goals: * Provide valuable, beneficial, safe, and pleasurable service to the client, * Ensure personal boundaries and health of either party are not compromised, that you maintain your dignity and integrity, and that you don?t compromise your own personal ethos, and * Reflect positively upon the profession as a whole. Voluntary subscription to a code of ethics has historically been one way to demonstrate the commitment to excellence in any profession. Commensurately, I hereby adopt this Alternative provider?s Code of Ethics as my own. This code of ethics is predicated upon the following assumption of rights; * I reserve the right to screen clients and determine who I will see and who I will not see, and under what conditions. * I reserve the right to set my own boundaries, and to have my clients to respect them. * I reserve the right to refuse to see a client for any reasonable reason, including if the client refuses to accept my personal boundaries and play limitations, or engages in behavior I deem inappropriate. * I reserve the right to determine how I use my personal attributes to make a living, and to be respected for the decisions that I make. * I reserve the right to be treated as a human being, with full agency and all other rights due me, including the right to petition for redress under all relevant civil and criminal laws of my country. I have every expectation that law enforcement agencies and the judicial system will treat me with the same dignity and respect they afford all other complainants. Code of Ethics General Conduct * I will enter and practice this profession of my own free will, under duress from no other party, understanding the true nature of the work I?ll be doing. * I will exhibit a sincere commitment to providing a quality experience for the client. * I will respect my clients as human beings and not treat them as anything less than how I expect to be treated. * I will respect my client?s physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries. * I will maintain and improve professional knowledge and competence, striving for excellence through regular assessment of personal and professional strengths and weaknesses and through continued education and training. Business Practices * I will not use bait and switch tactics to lure clients under false assumptions or pretenses. * I will respect my client?s confidentiality, and not, under any circumstances, divulge the names or other identifying features of my clients. * I will not defraud or cheat a client. * I will advertise my services and skills honestly and not misrepresent what I am prepared to do or the skills that I have. * I will plainly state my fees in advertising and on my web site(s) and not engage in unfair attempts to upcharge or upsell clients. * I will not submit false information about clients to blacklists and similar reporting venues. * I will recognize that there is a wide variance in acceptable behavior and identity when it comes to human sexuality, strive to accept those variations in my clients, and accommodate those variances when they do not conflict with my own personal ethos or skill levels Safety and Health * I will adopt and use appropriate safe sex practices consistent with the nature and scope of play as negotiated between myself and my client. * I will not practice my trade if I am sick or ill without disclosing my illness(es) to my client before any personal contact. * I will not entertain clients if I am physically, emotionally, or spiritually impaired to the point where I cannot ensure my safety, the safety of my client, and meet my client?s expectations. * I will not engage in any activity during my time with my clients that knowingly exposes them to potential physical or psychological danger without their express, informed consent. Respect for the Profession * I will not advocate or condone non-consensual sex work, or sex work involving minors, and will report the existence of such behavior to appropriate authorities. * I will not entertain minors as defined by the jurisdiction in which I work, regardless of the age of consent in that jurisdiction. * If asked, I will provide honest, legitimate advice and information to those who inquire about working in this profession

Out of curiosity, have you seen all the other duos in Winnipeg?? Are they funny jokes? Odd jokes? Dirty jokes? Do they do a stand-up routine? Are they entertaining? Would they be appropriate for a birthday party...kind of like hiring a clown?

So does this mean we get to do the Sexy Sixer or the Naughty Niner now????

Thanks for the warning!! That truly sucks...hopefully you won't have to deal with too much bullshit around this!!! See you tomorrow darlin!!! xoxo

Oh My!!! I want some of that

Foxy baby, you are truly missed!! Happy V Day to you, you're such a sexy lil thang!!! You know, just because you're not "working" doesn't mean you can't come out and play!!!:razz: You're always welcome to join us for a drink and a game or two!! All the best to you darlin!! Huge kisses!! Sydnee

A master wordsmith actually!!:-D

...and not in a good way at all!! I'm sorry to hear of your experience darlin...hopefully it will be better for you at your next stop....

Thank you so much GB....you were our pleasure!! We had a wonderful time with you and I'm so glad you had an opportunity to meet Andrea before she left... Many licks and nibbles for you!

It has been brought to my attention that Britteny from EC is claiming to work for me*...that she advertises her donation as $200/hr then upon arrival says her "agency", being me (and she names me) requires she get another $200 if the client wants anything more than a backrub..that the $200/hr advertised is an introduction fee that she is forced to pay to the "agency" being me... So, I want to make it completely clear that I HAVE NOT IN THE PAST, NOR DO I NOW HAVE ANY AFFILIATION WITH BRITTENY - LITTLE DUTCH GIRL... I hope this alleviates any confusion... *Once again, I also want to clarify that Mystique, Isabella and as of August 22nd, Katie, do not work FOR me...we are all independent SP's who work together co-operatively...I take the calls and answer emails because it is convenient to have all our calls and emails directed to one place...it means that when a client calls, s/he will most likely speak to me rather than get a voicemail and that response time to emails is fairly quick...

She is magically delicious isn't she? :p

thanks everyone who has participated in my poll so far...keep it coming!! I appreciate all your opinions and responses!! :D

I hope it is ok to post this here in the discussion area... Two of the ladies that I work with live right downtown...several gentlemen have said how parking downtown during the day Mon to Fri can be very difficult without having to resort to a paid parking lot...so I want to put a question out to all of you who frequent (or infrequent for that matter - lol) downtown SP's...would you be more inclined to see a downtown SP if she were to provide rebates for parking? I look forward to hearing what you have to say :)

Ok Georgie darlin....how about this for a sixpack...Isabella, Lizzie, Maggie, Mystique, Stacey and of course...Me!! :p :D Sorry to hijack...we could make it a naughty niner and invite Sasha, Billie and Danielle along for the ride...mmmmmmmmm Back to our regularly scheduled programming...:D

LL, you have no idea how much you'd love it if I were on top...:cool:
