As someone who has organized 2 out of 5 successful socials in Ottawa, it seems as though my previous post in this thread went over everyone'e head as I offered the same advice as Gabriella did. I don't understand why there needs to be money involved especially on the first event? You want to test the waters to see if there is a desire for these kinds of parties. Seems like this event was poorly planned from the getgo. It's like planning a wedding reception when there was no engagement or committment to begin with. Sorry that's just my opinion. Just announce an informal get together, drink and be merry.

The closest I've come to seeing something to do with the adult industry on a license plate is BDSM and the two letters beginning with BJ. I've also seen words like "BEAN". I think if there were a BBBJ license plate, we would have already seen it by now or its on it's way but I doubt it. Someone at the MTO who is on a more superior level to make these decisions is probably a hobbyist. LOL. As for the Harper government, I won't touch that one with a fake 10 inch cock!

Sitting on my large deck in my backyard on this fine day with a long island ice tea. And then off to see one of my favorite regulars soon. :)

Congrats on becoming Cerb's newest God!

Once a con artist, always a con artist. I wonder how she convinced her new man to marry her? She gives ALL escorts ( even bait and switch ones) a bad name! I'm sure she sleeps well at night.

If you need any advice I co-hosted 2 successful socials with AngleaofOttawa last year. If you want my honest opinion, you have to figure out if there is a demand for a social. As this type of gathering is in its infancy in Halifax, if I had to do one in another city, I would make it a casual meet and greet first. The first cerb social that took place in Ottawa, 7 people showed up. Then another member decided to have one at Christmas where they implememented a fee for the guys to pay for ladies drinks which was a good incentive for them to attend. Angela of Ottawa helped with this one and it was held in a downtown bar. Still informal but a larger crowd and the word got out. Then there was a Valentine's social at the same location in which more people attended and then there were door prizes and gifts for the ladies. All of these meet and greets were pretty successful but something was learned from each of them both good and bad. I had attended both Xmas and Valentine's socials and decided I would like to try one and I asked Angela to help me. However by this time, these socials were somewhat popular and with more members wanting to attend, I decided to make a change and that was to have a completely private venue and take it one step further with being a bit more formal. The previous socials had other bar patrons who were somewhat inquisitive and they quickly figured out what our party was about. I wanted to have a space where no one else had access and it was completely private with our own bar, waitstaff and washrooms. And I found a very nice upscale location. We also had several generous benefactors contribute door prizes for males and females and several ladies were kind enough to offer free sessions as door prizes. We went over with a fine tooth comb how we wanted to do it, how we could be discrete enough with management and rules/regulations we expected from our guests as learned from previous socials. The 2011 Spring social went off without a hitch and everyone had a great time. Angela and I did another one in the fall which was another success and Angela and Old Dog hosted the Christmas social which was also had a large attendance and a continued success. I guess what I'm trying to say is all of these socials started off as something casual and as someone else decided to host it, they were more publicized which made them more popular and successful each time. Imo, I would start off as a casual meet and greet at a pub just to get people familiar with the idea. More importantly you have to figure out if there is a demand for it. This type of informal meet and greet would give you your answer. I would scratch the idea of paying for tickets right now. You have to find an incentive for the ladies to come. Mainly this would be a few generous folks willing to buy the ladies a drink or two. For a first time social, there is really no need to sell tickets or find a private venue. What is your goal for this social? You want people to gain your trust in arranging these events and by having one common goal - which is to meet people from Halifax. I'm sure the people you meet would have no problem with you arranging another one. My advice is because this would be Halifax's first social, I would take baby steps and go from there. Invite people for a few drinks and see what happens. These socials can become very stressful and time consuming to organize but each person who hosted it, did it because they wanted to. There was no monetary gain in it whatsoever. I know you are a new member and with a consistent contribution to Cerb, people will regard you as someone reputable and known for holding these socials. Good luck and if you would like to know more, feel free to PM me.

I'm also in Orleans and have gone past Rockland to do an outcall. I think as long as you give the SP enough notice and cover her travelling expenses, I don't think you will have a problem with those who are willing. I do understand your frustration. I have had people call me from downtown and didn't want to take a 20 minute drive to Orleans during lunch hour with virtually no traffic jams. People think it is so far when in reality, it isn't especially where my location is. I always chuckle because I think if this were Toronto, I would understand because I've worked in Toronto and know how hard it is to get from Point A to Point B in the middle of the day but this Ottawa! lol. Oh well, their loss.

I wouldn't suggest it on the first visit because like Cat said, the SP might begin to wonder why you are being so intrusive. If I'm comfortable I will but not likely on the first visit especially if a person comes across as being nosy which I can't stand. I'm usually pretty good at reading people. Also, don't be surprised if the SP will ask a few questions back. If I'm going to tell someone about myself after a while, I expect to know about them in return. If you don't want to answer questions, please don't ask them. Mostly my appts do not consist of a lot of pillow talk so I try to steer the conversation in a general direction and everyone is happy. I like to seperate my personal life from being an SP and vice versa and my goal is to create a fantasy that doesn't involve answering questions such as if I have a boyfriend, kids, how many houses I own, if I pay my taxes and how much money do I make every week. Not the kind of GFE I offer.lol.

I have an Aunt who passed away 6 years ago who I always thought of as my second mother because she helped my mother raise myself and my sisters. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her but I do think of her on Mother's Day.

Congrats Gabriella!

I paid a personal visit to my mother today because I do not get to see her often and we sat outside and talked for over an hour and went for a walk. Damn, I found out she watches the same t.v. shows as I do! lol. My sister took her to dinner since I was being taken out for Mother's Day. She seemed happy that I came to see her.

Thank you for your kind words.

Lets make it an afterlife party at Old Dog's place!

I love going to Old Dog's place for party. I promise to be there for the next one. You're the bestest! lol..

Hahaha! You smart ass! But I still love ya.lol

I'm going to be in a truck like this having a party and singing "It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine".....Hahaha. Who wants to join me in the end of the world truck? Oh yeah, what happened to those bible thumpers when Judgement Day came and went?

Yup. I always find money from my belongings no matter what the amount. Found $600+ in a drawer before.

I'm very good at making myself invisible because I've seen clients around town and they never recognize me. Most often I am dressed down with sunglassses on. But in any case, when I notice someone I've spent time with, I usually just go the other way. I don't want to approached and I'm sure they feel the same way.

A guy calls to book an appt.. I start to give him the nearest intersection and he seems confused. I found out the guy lives in Ontario, California!!!! LMAO!! Guess he got confused.

I can give you advice but I was advised by a former tax auditor to NOT declare yourelf as an adult entertainer. You will be red flagged on the spot because then you're considered a cash business. I've got a good job title you can use and because you travel, that means a lot of writeoffs! Start keeping receipts for everything.

Try to find an SP that works out of her own place and pay her by the appt but make sure it is a fair fee. This is what I have done in the past. No one had a problem with another SP being there and she was very quiet and in another part of the house. They were more worried if someone's bf or another male was there which certainly wasn't the case. This is also good for your safety. I also split the rent on a new condo with another SP in Toronto and everything was split down the middle because neither of us lived there.

Me too! My Great Aunt is 96 years old and she has dementia as well. I'm going to visit her in September. She has survived her sister and brothers and many of her neices and nephews who died in their 60's and 70's. She says she doesn't want to live to be a 100 but I'm sure she will. I hope you have fun Sophia and enjoy every moment with her. Family is important.
