I had a wonderful conversation with an SP and we were discussing the Ontario COA proceedings. She defined hobbyists in a clear, concise manner that I had never considered before. The term "John" implies someone who is intentionally anonymous to the SP. That's where the term John came from. The purchaser is never identified and if there is violence or issue, he is not held accountable because the SP cannot identify him. The term client is applicable to someone that initiates a business relationship with an SP, providing his name and information to verify who he is, thus allowing us to take precautionary steps to ensure our safety. I have always felt there is a huge difference between a client and a John, I simply never defined why. Her clarity was dead on. This article is offensive to me on every level. I don't know where they find these guys or what questions they asked to elicit such responses. cat

I agree with Elizabeth, age the military man by 20 years. There is something about a man who lived his life his way and doesn't overthink everything that really catches my eye and gets the juices flowing. I have issues with men who use more hair product than I do anyway. They are just way too much maintainence. cat

I have shaved my head. I have never been a blonde... cat

Well get to it then! cat p.s. Just make sure to ask her if she even wants a reco thread before starting one!

Gentlemen, The comments here are wonderful but don't forget to add them to her reco thread as well as that is her bread and butter. Most newbies go there first before venturing into the fray... cat

I can't comment on Shara of CMJ as I have never had the pleasure of meeting her but Trinity is absolutely divine and fits the bill perfectly!!! cat

Exactly. Well said WIT. This far from over, everyone needs to stay informed and be prepared to voice what they want. Take advantage of the online comments sections of newspapers when relevant articles are written, send letters in to the Editors, vote in online polls. Whatever it takes to get the point out that there is a voice of sanity amongst voters. We will see an increase in articles in the future... cat

I visit a friend at a nursing home and I always see someone who is there with their loved one even tho it's obvious the loved one has lost the mental capacity to recognize the family member. They sit and hold hands, laugh and interact. Watching the love thats there regardless of what happens... cat

How many of us have worded things without thinking of the different ways our writing could be interpreted? I know I have, literally hundreds of times. I prefer to err on the side of "no malice intended" when reading threads that have statements that could be interpreted in different ways. Life is too short to nit pick and assume people are hurtful by nature. cat

My gentle suggestion is go and spend some time on the STD/STI websites; look at pictures of the diseases and infections that will be prevented by the use of a condom. If this a mental hang up, you simply need to familiarize yourself with why a condom is your friend... cat

That's easy. You should have added Aerobic Oxygen to the Nettie pot and also added it to your daily water consumption. I also would recommend trading the pot for a nasal rinse bottle. Mine is from NeilMed. If you are now on antibiotics then add a good probiotic to ensure your internal flora survive it. cat

This aspect of the business always amazed me. As an agency girl I was always the last one to go home and made good money from 5am to 8am because I was the only girl on. Now that I only service established guests, they all know that I can be available for them at any hour if the appointment is prebooked. I am usually up by 5am and have several that like to visit before work so anytime from 6am on. My last appointments are supper time unless it is an extraordinary circumstance or a fantabulous evening planned. cat

With bacon! cat

I agree entirely Megan.... cat

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!! I love it! cat

Why is there a need for a gift? I've never understood the expectation that a present be given altho I love to buy, wrap, deliver and watch said gift be opened; I do not feel that receiving a gift is mandatory. Get him a really wonderful card and write him a letter. Communicate to him what he means to you, how much you appreciate him as a person and how much you love him. He sounds like he already has the material things in life so give him something that is a truly unique gift from a child to a parent...a genuine thank you. I think it will mean more than anything wrapped in tissue... cat

This works every time Nicolette! When I had the agency I would simply go out for a bite to eat at a sit down restaurant. As soon as the food was ordered the phone would start ringing off the hook. I always told my girls to go get something to eat and as soon as they ordered, they would get a call. Never failed once... cat

Miss Madison, I understand your motivations completely and you must be such fun! I to don't quite grasp the offense taken when a provider changes names or developes different personas for different venues. There is often method in the madness that we should not be forced to justify or explain. Perhaps making all your personas members of the Sparks family would work. Branding quality whether they want to rock with a punk princess or a debutante is always a good thing... cat

As I have always said, when push comes to shove our industry will need to organize and that is coming sooner than later. If all of the sex workers in Canada sat down and compared little black books there isn't a government, industry or region that could claim they aren't listed. Don't for a minute think that there are not as many Conservatives in our little black books as anyone else and they all know it. I think that with a united presence and careful planning it will all work out. cat

If I posted about all that I may find offensive on CERB everyone would be sick of me. Bad taste, crass, crude abounds and there is only one way to deal with it. Enjoy it for exactly what it is and do not ask it to change to conform to you. It is what it is and therefore is exactly as it should be. cat

BIZARRE!!!! cat

I would like to know why the voters are listed in the poll? I didn't realize that with my original post or else that would have been an issue as well? Ladies, DO NOT VOTE!!!!!!! IMHO, of course.... cat

We need a book club! Maybe Sex Fairy can handle it... cat

GFE DOES NOT INDICATE SERVICES AVAILABLE. I REPEAT...GFE DOES NOT INDICATE SERVICES AVAILABLE. Now I have your attention, I would like to clarify that GFE does not indicate services available but the attitude and feel of the experience you will have. A GFE will come in and be glad to see you, she will be warm in her attitude and ensure you feel like she is a girlfriend. It DOES NOT MEAN ANY UNPROTECTED SERVICES OR ANYTHING THAT MAY COMPROMISE HER HEALTH AND SAFETY. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=52545 as SA mentions.... Just sos ya know... cat

This is Ottawa's own Koston Kreme who performed at CMJ's first Mingle Mangle... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOoFSbBABeM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toF4CaqGDMM http://www.facebook.com/people/Koston-Kreme/100000281003440 She is a delight, but with an edge. All of these girls embrace the more dangerous elements of the sensual today. And for Rockabilly we have the amazing Ginger St. James and the Grinders who just released SPANK, sparkle & GROWL. A great little album btw. I love it!!! Miss Ginger performed at Mavericks when they had their their Burlesque review. These shows are about performances. These artists are dedicated and professional in every way. http://www.gingerstjames.com/ The feel is described today as a "Betty" at best from my dinosaur perspective. They have a 50's feminine feel with some spice mixed in. Expect some tattoos and piercings, but you will get stockings, push up bras, sweaters and peep toes. Girlie with a touch of pepper. What more can a man ask? Today, Burlesque and Rockabilly are a tandem team that I personally love. Again, Cleo and Berlin best fit the bill.., cat
