I have no problem going out with clients in public. Everyone I have gone out with has been discreet. The only thing I have encountered when I was in Toronto and staying at a hotel, I would often have dinner dates and the closest restaurant was the Keg. At the time I had a brief relationship with someone in my personal life who was aware of my line of work. One night we went for dinner at the Keg and he introduced me to a a friend/acquaintance of his who was a hostess there and at that particular location and others around Toronto. I was staying by the airport and had 4 dinner dates in a row that week and every single time it was at the ( you guessed it!) the Keg. Well, this woman saw me with 4 different guys and I was supposed to be seeing a friend of hers. How's that for an awkward moment? LOL. I didn't know this woman but she knew people I knew. Those 4 nights wasn't the only time she saw me with clients. Another time she saw me with another client at another location and I had to tell the guy I was seeing at the time to casually mention how I told him that I saw her there when I was with my boss. These things shouldn't matter and wasn't really this woman's business but it probably looked weird. I did not eat there for at least a year after that because I was soooo sick of it. LOL.

Congrats Berlin!! Always a pleasure reading your posts! Keep them coming. Thanks for your contribution to the board. :)

This thread has nothing to do with religion and that it is only a factor in what's happening here and i see it more and more, it's called disrespect and ignorance at the higest level. How can you be intimate with someone one minute and in the next breath you're telling them that they are trash and should die? I am stunned. Beyond stunned actually. If someone was telling me ( an experienced SP btw) this in a most intimate moment, they would be at the maximum risk of having their balls grabbed so tightly he would wish he was the one who was dead followed by a tongue lashing with his clothes thrown out the door probably with a glass vase for good measure as well. I can't even imagine this happening. Her books, her belongings or anything else that was not brought up in a dicussion was not his business and he should have kept his big mouth shut or left if he felt that uncomfortable. But no... he still got laid while being able to verbally abuse her at the same time. This is the issue at hand here. No one should have to endure this and yes, it is abuse and it is not about having to hide your things especially if is not a topic of conversation for the client to even have a point of view. Does it really matter now about having to keep a fantasy alive even though the guy is a huge D-bag? No, of course not. He probably would have stuck his foot in his mouth by saying something else that was equally offensive. Sorry for the rant but this thread has made me really upset and disturbed ( and it takes a lot to get me to this pojnt) and I know Malika you haven't been in business that long so don't let this deter you. It is obviously a learning experience and what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Hugs to you. xoxo

I am available for fully interactive duos with Chanel Reign and Kianna.

My condolences to you Pete and you will be in my thoughts. Once again, thank-you for all your contributions to the board. Kisses..xo

When I had my website, I got the web master to put robots.txt file in my pictures so if it were looked up in the internet archives, they would not show up under a search index or when pages on your website have been crawled by search engines, they would be blocked. I have checked and with the exception of 1 or 2 pictures, the rest have been blocked. http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156449

This guy had no right to say these things to you just because he saw your personal belongings on your desk. First of all, it is NOT his business to be looking at your personal things and then to comment on them. This is why I hide everything. It's no one's business what we do on our personal time, if we are in a relationship, what we read or what we believe in especially if it hasn't been brought up for discussion. Some clients are nosy and like to snoop. I don't give them the opportunity. That's not what they're there for. If someone said these things to me that I was trash and should die because of what I believe in, they would be booted out in a New York minute with his stuff thrown out in the hallway. I would not tolerate someone attacking me personally and this is what he did to you. It is one thing to disagree with a person's religious belief but he should have kept it to himself or left if this really made him uncomfortable. To put it bluntly ( and because I'm rather angry after hearing this post) he is there to get laid, not for religious purposes. I do not know zip about Wiccans and forgive me if this comes across in bad taste but what does he think you're going to do? Put a spell on him because he thinks you're a witch? People are ignorant and it is not only in this industry, it is everywhere. Live and let live. And my personal motto to this guy... F**k him and the horse he rode in on.

Yes, it's one thing about worrying about running into clients who have met you but it's another thing to have to worry about people recognizing you from website pictures and the fact is you DO NOT know who they are which is what happened to me in the past. At least with a client you know, you can somewhat control the situation or go in the other direction.lol. I know I could make extra money if I did but I'd rather forgo the extra money and not be paranoid. It is also nice when you don't show your face and clients don't have this certain expectation of what you're going to look like. And it's hard to live up to a professional airbrushed pictures showing you face. Clients tell me my pictures don't do me justice and maybe they don't. I know I'm not a model by any means but it's nice when the client arrives and pays you a compliment telling you that you're pretty.lol. I can get ready, look good and be myself without having to think I have to look a certain way because of what a photographer did.

Yes, it happens to me at times and sometimes they see me or vice versa from afar and they say they saw me somewhere around town. I once saw my regular at the gas station buying propane.lol. I never approach them. Most of the time I don't encounter clients walking past them and usually have my radar on when I'm out. I'm always on the lookout.lol. To me, discretion is paramount and I will go out of my way to avoid an encounter with clients in public.

Happy Father's Day!!!

I would go to this type of social and bring a few other cerb members with me that I know. I like the idea of it being private and not open to the public or people that are not members of cerb. The social Angela and I had hosted last month was in a restricted area that was not open to other bar patrons and while it was more formal than say something like a private house party, it was still relaxed. The only other caveat would be to make sure this is strictly a meet and greet and members not having any expectations for any kind of funny business or hanky panky in the bedrooms. While the atmosphere at this kind of get together is more relaxed, I also don't want to feel like there are expectations for SPs to be groped or felt up when you are in a social setting. There is a time and place for that and it's called making arrangements to see an SP and paying for their time. If I go to something like this, I just want to relax and have a good time and not feel pressured to be on the clock so to speak. There are a few other things to consider like... -Being responsible that people will not drink and drive. Maybe make everyone leaves their car keys in a big bowl or something and have a designated person to make sure that no one will drive drunk. Perhaps have cerb members organize driving pools where someone will be a sober driver. Or take cabs. - Noise level - Discretion... where conversations can get loud in a back yard after people have been drinking. My neighbors are outside in their backyard right now and they are loud enough that I can hear what they are talking about. You don't want your neighbors to find out the nature of the party. -Restricting access to parts of your home. Keep it on the main level and in the backyard. You don't want personal belongings or valuables stolen.

I used to show face pics in the past and while it did increase my business a lot more and I made a lot of money, there are too many nut jobs out there who will take advantage of this. I had a situation happen to me in public where I had someone following me because they recognized me and after that day, I never showed my face again. Plus I'm sure when I had a website, so many guys downloaded those pictures and used them for their own purposes which I do not need to elaborate on. I had SP groupies obsessed with these pictures and the list goes on. When you put yourself out there like that, there are many consequences and it's something I'm not willing to risk. You cannot put a price tag on your privacy.

Does anyone from Ottawa remember Capital City Diner that was on Merivale/Hunt Club Rd? They had the best Chocolate Monkey milkshakes ever! lol.

Congrats Amelia. Thanks for your contribution to the board.

I just submitted some funny pictures of my kitties to LOL Cats.

I bought papa an ipod touch to replace his old one and a $300 gift card to Future Shop. He's been there for me so it's the least I can do. I tend to spoil the people I care about. :)
