    Hmm...let me think....I have travelled a lot on the West Coast from California to Vancouver & Victoria. Met a few people back east as a kid, mostly "Mr. Rogers", Sesame Street type stuff. Ronnie Hawkins. Later, traveling with my mother I met Frank Sinatra, Brian Wilson, and a very strange cult leader in California. As an adult, Johnny Depp & Dustin Nguyen (21 Jump Street), Jim Belushi, Ken Wahl (Wiseguy), Anthony Michael Hall (Wierd Science, Breakfast Club), The Manhattan Transfer, The Nylons, Goldie Hawn (in Victoria filming 'Bird on a Wire'...more my brother's friend than mine), Charles Bronson, Lou Ferrigno. Calypso Rose a couple of weeks ago. It's always when you don't expect it, you see someone and it's like, OHAI! So much fun to talk with them. Not much on the Island, but when I worked in Vancouver it happened all the time. My ex has been the one getting to meet everyone the past few years.

     

    Sometimes with clients it's fun to say "Has anyone ever told you that you look exactly like ...--?" and they mutter, "Yeah, I get that a lot" LOL

    Thanks for posting this.

     

    I am surprised she says that a lot of other advertisers would contact her, especially asian ones. I'm not in TO, but I have not once ever been contacted by another sp seeking help like this.

    I do think it is important for us in the industry, or those who use it, to remember just how many of the sps out there are young, start younger. A young sp, especially in TO, even if she is in an agency being sent out on calls, may still have someone at home collecting her $$. Built in client base, and now they don't even have to do any work whatsoever: no ads, no driving, no security, and their girls still bring home cash. For a guy who don't like work, that must be a dream come true. :ablow:

     

    It's a dream come true for them, all right. I was not always independent. I was once very naive. I didn't work in TO for long, but at the time it was full of guys, like my ex, who called themselves "businessman" and "entrepreneur" and had cash registers for hearts. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and have a long, serious talk with the girl I used to be...but you know...my past self probably wouldn't listen.

    It seems that not only am I a major clutz but I have a tendency to misplace or even lose things of value to me :(

     

    Today, I have searched high and low for my fave earings! They are not expensive, just little tiny diamond chip studs but my grampy gave them to me before he passed away!

     

    Has anyone recently lost something that they cherish? What was it and what does this item mean to you?

     

    Aww, I'm sorry to hear this :sad:

     

    I lose things a lot. Important things, too. I lost a pendant that my mother gave me. It was gold, with a little disc and when you blew on the disc it would spin and you could read "I love you" on it. It had been my grandmother's and my mother was quite upset about it.

     

    Sometimes when I start looking for something I've lost, I find something that I lost previously. Maybe if you "lose" something else and look for it, you'll find your earrings. Failing that, I do hope they turn up at some point.

    MMMMMM....central air! That sounds fantastic! Gonna file that away for when I'm ready to move....add it to my must-have list, which includes "allow cats", "jacuzzi tub" and "fridge that dispenses ice cubes and water"

    I have central air which keeps the condo nice and cold, however while walking home today I did stop in at the library to refresh myself. Was quite chilly in there :)

    I find the ones who call late hours, don't call back during the day - it's like they're a different crowd - the "wassup" guys who I don't normally see any how.

     

    LOL the "wassup guys"...

     

    *ring ring for the tenth time* - it's 4 a.m.

     

    Me (annoyed): HELLO.

    Caller: How's it goin'?

    Me: How's it goin'? It's 4 in the morning.

    Caller: It is? <pause> Oh, it is. So.......HOW'S IT GOIN'?

     

    AAARGH.

    Hoo boy, do I ever hear that. I have guys phoning at ridiculous hours of the late night and early morning, leaving messages on my voicemail, even though my hours are very stated in my newspaper ads and on my website it says that messages left outside of business hours will not be returned. Often, they even say in the message, "I know it's outside of your business hours, BUT..." which to me is just the height of ignorance. I would never do that. I just don't phone businesses when they are closed. I can only imagine what would happen if I left a message for my nail tech at 4 in the morning, asking for an appointment. She'd never touch my nails again. Anyway, just listening to the messages was annoying me a lot because I work from home, so I eventually decided to just turn off the ringer at night and in the morning I erase whatever came in the night before without even checking it out, and I just leave it at that. I mean, I work from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. 7 days a week and if that's not enough...well...too bad because you can extend your hours as much as you want but you can't win. The only thing that will satisfy some people is to be available to answer that phone 24/7. I have done 24/7 and it's no picnic. Never again!

    I did have fun shopping, got a couple of hats. I'd rather not have the photos cropped or blurred...I think they would look better if I used other ways to cover my face, so we're going to go with hats and fans and such. Today, I'm getting a Chinese fan, that will be really nice with the red and black lingerie.

     

    Unfortunately, my photographer has been injured and is out of commission for a couple of weeks, so now I have to find another one to take the pictures this weekend. That's going to be difficult, because all the weddings are going on right now..

    I looked for that style of decoration - it's somewhat distinctive - and found another one for July 25 under this heading:

     

    *(?`'?.♥?.?'??)*Sensual Goddess*(?`'?.♥?.?'??)* - w4m - 23 (Ottawa- IN/ OUT)

     

    I don't understand that. It doesn't take that much effort or money to get some decent photos done. What does she say when she shows up and the clients is disappointed? Someone could get very upset. I think that's dangerous.

     

    Several years ago, I advertised with an online directory and the owner put an ad together for me using a model's photo. I was not at all happy with that because it was like lying right from the start, so I asked him to pull the ad, or at least replace it with "photo coming soon" or something like that. He wouldn't do it, so I closed the e-mail account.

     

    Once I did get photos done and was using them to advertise myself, he took one of them (the face was showing) and used a close-up of my face on one of his sites' banners. He thought I should be happy about that too...I wasn't.

     

    It's a tricky situation with photos because it's so easy for people to misuse them.

    I wish I could show my face in the photos - it's my best feature - but there are privacy concerns. I'm not going to crop or blur them - I think it would be better to hide my face in creative ways during the shoot. Since they're only for work, there's no point even having another set that shows my face, I'm just going to hide it behind fans, hats, etc. and try to be creative about it. Actually, now that I think about it, that could be a lot of fun...I'm envisioning a belly dancing outfits with the veil...a geisha costumes with a nice Japanese fan...a cowboy outfit with the hat brim pulled down. I need to go shopping.

     

    Funny how most of my thought process eventually lead to the conclusion that it's time to shop.

    I always request, during the booking part, that the client take a shower before I arrive. I don't do incalls anymore, but when I did, they were invited to shower before and after, and whether or not it was on the clock depended on the situation and my schedule. I start my FS sessions with massage, which gives me time to get a good idea of what's going on with a client's body. Once his back is done and he turns over, I get a clean cloth dampened with warm water (it'll be needed later anyway) and clean him up with that - that applies to everyone and they don't mind because it's just something I do as a matter of routine. If that isn't going to be enough and I have a real dirty birdie on my hands, then I will offer an accompanied shower, and if he doesn't want to do that, then it's time to come right out and say that I'm going to need him to get a bit cleaner before we can proceed. It can be an awkward situation, but I find that being more subtle and then growing increasingly more insistent usually works and it's better than being totally grossed out.

    I'm having some photos taken next weekend, and can't decide whether or not to have my face showing. I was going to hide it with fans and hats and stuff, but now I'm not so sure. What do you think? None of the photos will be nude - just a few in different outfits and some in lingerie. Any input, from SPs or clients, would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks,
