Phantom

I love visiting homes with real trees. Like everyone says, the smell is special. I like a fake tree at my home. A lot less hassle and cleanup. I guess laziness wins over sentimentality at our house.

Wow, those are certainly some nice rooms for shoots Genevieve. Travelfreak, Not sure what your budget is, but if you think those rooms are expensive, one thing I've seen many photographers do is try and make a boudoir day. That way you make sure you have enough clients that day to make it worth your while.

A hotel should not have any issues with you bringing camera equipment in. They may look at you funny, but you could be in town for a shoot and just don't trust leaving it in your car overnight. They could not stop you from bringing it in. If you wanted to conceal it, you could pack most into a suitcase. (Some tripods fit diagonally within a suitcase most are a bit too long. Lightstands certainly wont) You could use a hockey stick bag / ski bag etc.. (A little early in the season for ski). As for other suggestions, go for a room at the highest floor you can get. If you are shooting with her beside the window, the higher up, the less other people outside can see in. Also one with a view not facing other hotels would be good. (Of course if you are leaving curtains closed if they are not the thick kind it would act like a nice large softbox. As for window shots, it gets dark pretty early this time of year so you'd have to be done the shoot before early evening ideally. If you are choosing the room, ask for the ones with the smaller bed if possible. (More open area to put lights and such. Also ask if the bed can be moved. You might want/need to move it a few feet so the edge does not appear in a window shot for instance. Before selecting a room, call and ask for the height. Hotels don't tend to have a lot of height and for lighting, if you can get even a foot higher from one hotel to another it might be worth it. The typical glamour shot tips apply, there are hundred of sites which would have some. If you have any specific questions, let me know.

The new $20s have naked ladies on them. How can that not be an improvement?

Phaedrus, Maybe if you post pictures of yourself in your underwear and invite your friends you might get something started. Or you may lose friends. Never seen you in your underwear, so I can't guess which is most likely.

Well it all started when Gorg etched a picture of Jaja on the cave wall followed by 4 stars. 7000 years later, the invention of the written word, the invention of the internet and soon cerb became as it is today. I might be missing a few details in between. Hopefully the mod can fill those in. :D

Going and going is Energizer bunny, I believe. Duracell is copper top. How about: Nintendo, Born to play. Additional Comments: Name might be odd but slogan works: Statefarm, you're in good hands.

Sometimes it's not just a matter of preference, but of necessity. Some of us might love to host, but with family around it could be a little awkward.

There shouldn't be any age limit. But people, both SPs and clients, need to be honest. Guys are perhaps looking for a certain age range for a reason. Unlike other jobs where you can't discriminate on age, you are looking for a certain service. Whether you like blondes, redheads, tall short, younger or more mature, we are seeking fantasies and the type of lady we seek are part of that. So it's fair to ask a "general" age range. We don't necessarily need precise. Same for the SPs. If a younger SP does not feel comfortable providing service to someone her parents age range or the reverse, a mature provider not wanting to deal with someone younger than her kids, her wishes should be respected. And neither Clients or SPs should feel upset for being refused based on this. There are others out that that are a better fit.

First job is a job we can get without experience. That means a job that is easy That usually means a job with very little pay and a lot of grunt work nobody else wants to do. And that's why it's usually a job we hate. Hopefully not also our last job Mine: The two standard first jobs. Paperboy (Not really a job) and "Would you like fries with that?"

I'm not stuck on a particular color, but I much prefer the black, white and vibrant shiny satin rich colors (Blues, red, green, purple, doesn't matter) Less fond of pale pastel colors or beige brown earth tones. I prefer high contrast. But then again a sexy lady can make pretty much anything look good.

Wow. You break the rules. (No posting personal information.) I call you on it. Others agree with me even though nobody seems to be saying anything (And I figure this because I didn't send you any PMs you were complaining about.) You say you want a safe environment. So do I. I just want it to be safe for hobbyist as well. I've been on this board six years and I don't think I've ever reported a post before, so I didn't do it without considering it first. I will not apologize for what I did, although I am sorry it upset you such. If a moderator can elaborate on the rules and whether "no personal information" should be understood as "no personal information unless vague" (last name only, first name only etc...) as others seem to be reading it, than I will abide by their decision, but until otherwise, I will call others out who would do the same. Discretion is must in this industry. To those who don't care if their name is thrown around, they can give it out themselves. They should not be flippant about others privacy concerns. Obviously I'm making more enemies than friends with this stance, so I am hoping this is the last I post in this thread. (Obviously can't say for sure, cause if someone asks me a legitimate question I will respond.)

Thank you Julie for removing your post. Hopefully those who have repeated his name, blank it out as well. I do hope you find your friend.

If someone came on here looking for escort whose real name is "........." and describes her, don't you think all the ladies here would be screaming mad??? Goes both ways. Would joe blow be able to find this guy? No. But anybody who knows a guy by that name and with that description.... Point is it should not be allowed. If I am wrong on this I fully do not understand the meaning of discretion which almost every ad I've seen here mentions. Additional Comments: That would be for him to post. Since she does not know his handle, hasn't seen him in months, do you think he gave her permission? I would suggest erring on the side of discretion if this is unknown

Is this supposed to be some sort of joke? Naming and describing a client on an escort review site is totally irresponsible. I've reported the post. It should be removed immediately.

There are plenty of lovely ladies from this site that I would love to unwrap over the holidays. Or if they showed up in nothing but a bow, that would be nice too.

An extra hour this weekend for possible fun :)

Sophia, Here's an old link to helping escorts calculate their rates. It's US based so there's plenty of talk about not mentioning services, which are more flexible in Canada. But there is some stuff about effects of reducing rates and such. It's a short read. You might find something interesting either for yourself or for the ladies you are helping out. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/95698874/howtocalculateyourrate.pdf

Oh and as for professionalism, other than those with allergies, I don't think many clients would mind. In fact I think it would be a step in getting to know the real you even more, a peak into your life, which would make the encounter even more gfe for some.

I would agree that anyone going to an incall should inquire regarding pets if they have allergies, but most would not think of it if going to a hotel to meet a visiting SP. Strong allergy to perfumes, yes, I would think the client would ask about as that could be expected, but pets are not a norm in hotels. In that case I would suggest it would be up to the SP to let them know. I myself have allergies and would not have ever thought a visiting SP would have a dog in the room. It would certainly ruin the evening with me sneezing all over her. I don't think it's wrong and would suggest bringing your pet along, but a caution to the clients would be advised.

I agree with out for fun regarding video certainly, but he stated T4 and T3 as well as the T3i and T4i and I just wanted to point out these are different models: (his arguments are still valid) T3, T3i, T4 and T4i (Also have the older T2, T2i, T1 and T1i) The "i" versions are the more advanced versions.

The next model (T4i) is actually out. for a comparison check out http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-Rebel-T4i-vs-Canon-T3i Note there is a recall on the T4i due to the grip turning white I believe. Is the T4i better? Yes. Is it worth the extra $$ for it. Depends on what you plan on using the camera for. Does the fact that the T3i is last year's model bother you? If not this is a good deal for the camera. And if this is your first DSLR, the T3i is certainly more than you'll need and is a good starting point into the world of DSLRs. As far as going to a local company, get your prices (including sales) from a futureshop and bring them to the local guys (Henry's). More likely than not they will match the price. And you will get much better service from them afterwards. (Do this for any extra lenses you'll be buying as well) Also, if they try and sell you an extra battery, the Canon's expensive (and yes will last longer). Look for a third party. I've used one now for a few years and they work great. Any questions, let me know. I'm very familiar with the T3i.

I'd say for most of us, it's a matter of availability. There are many users who create accounts for 1-2 days and never use them again. This makes common names hard to come by. I snagged Phantom here years ago. I've never been able to use it on other sites since it's usually already taken. So I create new ones. I like Phantom though, so I'm not going to get rid of it so that I have one ID for all sites. Besides I like having a thousand user ids and passwords to keep track of. Keeps the mind active.
