I'm not sure if many of you know about the particulars of strip clubs but many of them tend to have a Black Girl Rule. A Black Girl Rule is basically the cap they put on how many woman of colour are allowed to work in an establishment. ( usually 5) There is no white Girl Rule and that is made very clear. There's something about this Rule that makes me feel as if we're in the mid 1900's. I had called the club I normally work at and asked if I could come in early ( I start at 6 ) however there is a friend of mine on here that I wanted to see and could make it in at 2:00. I asked if I could come in early and the response was we're full and have no room for black girls. However, a "white girl" does not have to call in as they will never be too full. Why should I feel sad, guilty for being who I am ? It really hit me today. Racism sucks! What are your thoughts on this ? Shouldn't we all be equal? I mean we are in Canada shouldn't I have an equal opportunity to work? Please I'd love to hear your inputs and thoughts on this touchy subject

I had the pleasure of experiencing a duo with JessyCeleste and Exclusively Mia the other day and what a wonderful experience it was. JessyCeleste and I have known each other for quite some time and have met many times previously. When I heard she had a new duo partner I instantly knew I wanted to partake. Knowing JessyCeleste for quite some time (she is a beautiful lady both inside and out) I knew chemistry with her would be no problem and trusting her judgment had her introduce me to Exclusively Mia. Mia is very easy to talk to and puts you at ease immediately as though you have known her for a long time. She is a very intelligent beautiful and enchanting person to have spent time with. Both ladies being so beautiful and enchanting in every possible way, I knew I was going to have an exceptional experience and I certainly did. Both ladies were very perceptive and accommodating during our time together and I was impressed by how comfortable and interactive they were with each other and with me during the session and how natural and genuine everything felt. I certainly felt like a million bucks after our time together. I can definitely say that I made some epic memories that evening and look forward to making even more with future visits.

Lately , I realised that I am always singing at work. Singing along in the morning when I get the spa ready for the day , singing along between my sessions and singing along in the shower after my sessions. Always smiling and feeling happy at work. I am pretty sure that a part of the source of this smile is my dear coworker. In that kind of industry , the girls who are working together are in direct competition. Not us .. We spend most of our time together .. Everyday 9am-6pm we are at the spa and we are working together. We share everyhing .. Room ,shower , laught and even clients. We never fight , we listen to each other, we advertise together and we even sneak into each other sessions just because it is so fun .. We go to erotic boutique and I am pretty sure they think we are crazy there with all the stuff we buy and all the conversations we had " Omg try it on I sooo want you to use it on me " or " Oh dear , it won't fit " lolll ! Or that time when you walk into my session and started massaging me with my client until you realised your shift was done for at least 30minutes .. "oh loard I need to go home " Or that time where I sneaked under the massage table during one of your session and played with his legs .. You was holding your laught until I body slided on him and he finally realised that I was there too ..All of those crazy duos we had and all of those time we cleaned the spa naked and dancing to music.. Do we ever wear clothes? Lolll ! All of this long text to say that I feel blessed.. I love my job and I love my life and a big part of it is because of you Kimora. Thank you for being that awesome friend and coworker that you are .. We are a great team ... It is important to express it when we appreciate something or someone .. I felt like screaming it on a top roof but because of our jobs I can't put it on facebook so I thought of here ... Xxx Your naughty Ali

I almost just destroyed a carefully tended relationship with a beautiful and intelligent woman by listening to information I heard from people I don't know as well and making some very wrong, stupid, and insulting assumptions. Then repeating these horrible thoughts to her, questioning her personal integrity and making her feel like a total piece of crap. I proved beyond a doubt that I'm a shitty friend and there is no way to redeem myself from what I've said. Oh, I could try to rationalize it and force her to forgive me. I'm not going that route. I've apologized and we've talked about it (and will likely talk about it some more), but I don't want her to forgive me. I was a terrible person and said some really ugly things and there is really no coming back from that. We can repair the rift in what we had, but I don't expect forgiveness, even though I am honestly contrite. Some things you just can't come back from. She is willing to keep me as a 'friend'. Time will tell if we can get over this together. It would be easy to just tell me to fuck off and be done with me. Wish us luck.

It isn't unheard of, but don't feel pressured. If you feel a tip is warranted, go ahead. The exact opposite happened to me last night. I took a few lovelies for a tour of the CR. When I came down with the second, they both joined me at my table and chatted for an hour. I tried to make it known that there was more money out there on the floor, but they just wanted to spend time with me. Weird. I wasn't even drinking. When I offered to tip them for their time, they waved it off. Maybe it's just me.

Over years, I had many "fantasy rendezvous" but I had "dream encounters" with one woman only... After I met that escort girl, I stopped seeing anyone else - this just didn't have any sense. From that day, I always waited for our next date and I missed talking to her, her smile, the feel of her body when I hug her, taste of her kiss, her laughing eyes, her silky hair... And this made every date with her the "dream encounter". I forgot long time ago that I can feel something like this. And I will be always grateful to this woman for that year when I felt really alive again.

I'm disappointed and saddened that this rule exists. Thanks for telling us about it, Chrissy. I hadn't heard of that before.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to start a thread on Diabetes type 2. Many people are now getting Diabetes type 2. And doctors seem to prescribe drugs to help you lower it without much consultation with you. They look at your A1C levels and if it is too high, they just write you a script for some expensive drugs. I was first diagnosed over 14 years ago. Started with metformin which is the standard low cost start to drug. But after a few years, it did not work as well. Then came Junivia another new drug which works and has side effects. Then because my cholesterol was high they gave me lipitor, which after taking for many years found out that it was the cause of my other problems. It was then discovered that it could cause diabetes. Once I stopped that I felt much better. But then the Junivia didn't work as well and they put me on Junumet which is a combination of junivia and metaformin. This worked a couple of years, but then my A1C levels went up. Then they put me on Victoza which is a very expensive injectable drug. This worked for a year, but was very expensive. I was taking this with Janumet. Last week I went to the Dr. again and found that my A1C has gone up again. He said with age it takes more drugs to keep my A1C down. He wanted me to add the drug Invokana to the current mix, This other drug is fairly new and makes you pee a lot as it keeps the sugar from through the kidneys. All these drugs may cause pancreatic and thyroid cancer along with other side effect. I am not sure I want to take all 3 of them at the same time. I am going to try the Inovokana and janumet first, to see there are any side effects. Hope it works. Reading about some of the side effects are scary, plus taking all 3 drugs at the same time is really expensive. Just wanted to hear your story and how you dealt with your diabetes type 2 problems. What worked and didn't work for you. Diet and Exercise recommendations. Hoping to here your thoughts about this.

My Sweet Lord, I love MeganDancer so much. A truly professional, career dancer. Her game is strong. Her physical charms are many, and I will list some of them for you here: - petite - beautiful round face with very edible ears and neck - nicely enhanced breasts with pronounced and thick nipples - lovely, medium length, dark hair that she pulls out of the way for the dance - her ass is on fleek - not too thin, but definitely not chunky (Goldilocks zone) - nicely trim and in terrific, athletic shape - very flexible In the champagne room, she is small enough to curl up in my lap and give a good show. She is just a pleasant woman to have spinning on me like a top. Her perfume is very mild and doesn't stick to me like some others I've experienced. That's very important to me. Yes, I've given her the sniff test before taking a tour in the back room. When I give her a hug, she hugs me right back. Hard. The first time we met, we took to each other easily and fell into chatting like old friends. She is very approachable, if she hasn't gotten to you first. She loves to wear expensive and classy outfits. That's not a bad thing. It shows pride in her work and that she is willing to invest in the tools of her trade. Her choices are always amazing, and her purposeful look as she struts around the club is as much a turn on as her fantastic body. She is confident, like a lioness and I am her prey. This woman is the entire package. I wish ... but, no. I'll live with her being my fantasy. [emoji7]

Hah. It's nice of you to give the clubs the benefit of the doubt, but the ones that place a quota on black dancers (who, you may notice, they also never put on stage one after the other if at all avoidable) do it for the same reason they ban rap and wearing hats. They think that letting too many black dancers work will result in too many black patrons, who they tend to equate with gangs. Many club managers (not just in Ottawa) are quite shortsighted in terms of the dancers they allow on their rosters. Case in point: the black dancer quota. Many clubs also don't allow dancers over a certain size to work at night. It's not about having variety so much as having dancers that fit their view of what customers like.

Im really interested in this cute looking blonde. Anyone know anything about her? http://ottawa.backpage.ca/FemaleEscorts/tatianna-new-in-town-110-realpictures-blondbombshell-647-495-1909/55802072

Thanks for your input "Kilt Boy". It should be fair. They should have a handful of blacks with a handful of whites or make it equal ratios. I think every guy has his own preferences and some don't even see colour as a factor. How does the club decide what their patrons will like when we all don't like the same things? The idea that they think "white males" only like "white females" is so dumb. Because I could personally tell you how many "white males" have crowned me as their goddess. I don't see colour, I think we're all beautiful people. Plus, most people come to a club to have what they don't have at home. Example, I've noticed most black men will come for a white dancer. Ugh I hate referring to people as colours.

I'd posted a similar thread a while ago in the Ebony Ladies social group. I think it is completely unfair and hideously out of date. I'd like to think that the reason for it is to protect the jobs of the few white girls who are willing to dance because all the sexy black girls are stealing their jobs ... but I'm sure that isn't true. I have no solution for you, and wish it didn't exist. My preference is for the darker skinned ladies anyway, but I don't think that is 'colouring' my views here. I'm sure this will get passed up the chain and you'll be marked as a troublemaker, just for thinking of yourself as a person. It is a disgrace. I stand in solidarity with my black sisters. You know who you are.

Totally worthwhile - typical Asian extras but the massage alone is worth it. I am a regular there.

I get bald/closely trimmed at home all of the time so I look for something different. Full hairy bush is what I want. Pretty rare and a throw back to my younger days so that's what I want.

Hey guys I'm new in town visiting for a couple days. Tired of being let down? Or fooled by fakes? The blonde Bombshell you've been waiting for is HERE! I love meeting new people. xoMegan

Afternoon handsome gentlemen, Come play and get a taste of some sweet caramel from Jaida! I'll be at Barbarellas this week January 25-28 from 8pm until 2am.

I met Brandi and Sasha as a duo. They are not located at a hotel. They have an local in call location that is pretty private. The appointment was easy to book via text. So to start, there is something to say about a body slide with 2 ladies, four hands and other parts massage. Both ladies are very attentive to their guy. All I can say is that you cannot say that there is nothing to 'do'. Brandi has mid-length hair with a great body and is pretty vocal. :) Sasha has dark shorter hair with a great body as well, very attentive and enjoys herself. I met Brandi before by herself, which was great, but she introduced me to her +1 and it was awesome. Probably one of the best duos I have had to date. Highly recommend.

Thanks guys ! My website is " on the way " , i opted for a discreet design instead of something your wife could find "suspicious" I like the language idea im bilingual The blog ( one a week or so ) I like that you don't need to see my face, but if requested by a well known member HERE i don't mind I think the real strippers are dying and i want to keep this rare breed alive ( the real showgirls , costumes, glamour, the rare ones who make as much money as lawyers) I hope lots of girls will follow my lead , i am one of the veterans dancers at barbs as you call them .

A duo with two of my regular SPs. And no, never managed to pull it off.

Someguy, I started being really careful with my diet in early September. Been doing a Keto diet and so far lost about twenty pounds. Very difficult at first but after a week I got used to it. I do weights for an hour at 5am six days a week. I have quit doing cardio, it was acheiving nothing for me. My strength is the same. Yesterday's checkup, blood pressure 118/75 Resting heart rate 49 Not bad for almost sixty eh.

I have been following Jason Fung on google and youtube. He is recommending that people do low carb high fat diet with intermittent fasting. People are reversing type 2 diabetes and obesity with this. I am following this now and have lost weight, lower blood pressure, slowly reversing type 2 diabetes. I am in great shape and exercising. He is doing the opposite as what the system has been recommending to do for the last 20 years. Following the recommendations from the doctors and diabetic society does not work. People only take more medication and are treating the symptoms and never getting cured. Type 2 diabetes can be cured now in most cases, by dieting and fasting.

You have ten posts, six are asking for information about a retired lady. Stop and think about that. Respect her privacy. Additional Comments: In a nutshell, this is why I left.

I love kissing but because I advertise primarily massage, the kissing activities are kept for those I have built a rapport with in my companionship services. I have noticed a trend where men I have met for massage tend to set boundaries with intimacy..many aren't that comfortable with those activities so I prefer to build a rapport with people first and then if it happens, it happens. But I do love kissing....

You are eating the wrong stuff, if you eat better you will not need a suppressant. Constantly prescribing drugs for those reasons is not helping. Additional Comments: Cutting carbs will be like quitting meth, it is very hard. Try different carbs, potatoes are garbage, try stuffing yourself with salads. Try adding fats to your diet as well, fats will make you feel fuller. See the IIFYM website. They are a much better source than the CDA. The low calorie argument is a red herring. The problem is with the glycemic index of the foods you eat. A high glycemic index food is quickly digested and produces a sudden spike in blood sugar. This causes a large amout of insulin to be released, and high insulin levels are the cause of insulin resistance and leads to diabetes. You also go through a cycle of "sugar highs" followed by an insulin induced crash where you feel exhausted. Low glycemic index foods are digested more slowly, there is less insulin in the blood, and less stress on the system. 500 calories of high glycemic index foods: bad. 500 calories of low glycemic index foods: not bad.

You don't need to go on a diet Notch, you just have to be careful about what you eat. Having a steak or a big bowl of pasta once in a while is great! or just eat less of it. I should have been down 20 more pounds by now, but I would rather lose weight slowly and be happy, then be miserable being strict on what I ate. Even if you don't lose weight you will be healthier, add something as simple as a 30 minute walk a day and you are even better. I'm much healthier now, get less tired, have more stamina now ;) then I did when I was much lighter and unhealthier in my younger days.

It's too bad that we find sugar in every thing that we buy with a few exceptions. I have stop drinking soft drinks(pepsi, coke etc...) and never lost a pound, I don't smoke and I try to watch what I eat, I'll be honest I would not do well on a diet. Diabetes is in my family and I get checked regularly but my main concern is high blood pressure.

I don't have diabetes. So, can't really comment on the meds you are referring to. However, I got sick and I was prescribed medication. Then, it was increased "to get better results". I was then at the maximum dosage, but still not getting the results the medical personal were looking for. They then added another one to see if the combination worked better. I was then prescribed another one as I was having side effects - supposedly this new one would help with the side effects. Before I knew it, I was on 10 different medications. Felt like crap, couldn't function, I was then really sick. On one of my check ups, the nurse commented on my weight gain. In six months - I had gained 40 lbs. I hated it. She commented that one of the meds I was on was well known for weight gain. So, I started researching the meds I was on. I had read the pamphlets I was given from the pharmacy. However, on further research, I found that some of the side effects were worse then the illness I have. I slowly went off all the meds. I am now med free, and feel much better then when I was on the meds. I am still sick - I have a brain injury that will only be fixed by surgery. They are waiting until it has to be operated on. So, its a wait and see. So, for me, even though I am not like before I got sick, I am a hell of a lot better then when I was on all the meds I was on. I function, take care of myself, and learn what works and what does not. Now, I'm not suggesting that you go off med for diabetes. However, I would certainly look at holistic health. Is there something you can do to control your sugars without medications? I still remember doing some reading on that, and the alternatives looked promising. Of course, my doctors all freaked when I told them I was off all meds. They told me that it was dangerous, but because I had gone off slowly, I was ok. Of course they wanted me back on the meds, but I'd rather live my life free of side effects, and deal with my illness without the complications of the meds. Doctors will not support alternative healing when it comes to something like diabetes. However, I'd look into the options with a naturopath or holistic health care provider. Just make sure you get a good one who truly understands and is educated in diabetes. Good luck!

Lipitor is way over prescribed. It has lots of negative side effects. It makes you so drowsy some of my friends call it "Sleepitor". Three drugs may seem like a lot. One of my friends was on ten (!) different drugs. He finally changed doctors and got rid of a few of the drugs. Diabetes sucks and good luck dealing with it. Be extremely careful with your diet! I feel most diabetes is caused by excess sugar in our diets. Constant overloading with sugar causes excess insulin, and constant insulin causes insulin resistance. We need to read labels on foods and avoid anything with starch, corn starch, HFCS, or sugar as the first ingredient.
