Antlerman, What you need is a breakfast rendezvous! It includes complete grooming, shave, and the ever delicous shower, then moves on to breakfast in bed with a send off to the office that will leave you smiling all week! It's just a great way to start the day, and can get going as early as needed so you get to office with no one the wiser. Keep it in mind.. Catherine

Darling Jillian, I have the girl! She is incredible, and it makes everything SO SOFT, it's amazing. After a treatment I walked arounds with my hands in my panties for days. LOL. As for the pain, it's relative. I had a full brazilian, and it's sensitive, but I have toys with more voltage so it wasn't a problem. It's just a different atmosphere for current play. I left a buffer above, but everything else to the small of my back is now like silk. Would do it again in a heartbeat. I will PM you her details. Now is a good time because they have an offer for great packages and with hair like yours it won't take long. Catherine, xoxo

Not if you have the touch, straight razors have their place and a certain flair seldom seen anymore. Retired mine, but bring it out when someone deserves the pampering barbershop experience. When detailing a coin purse I prefer the newer multiblades, the results are amazing. What I think most men don't know, is there is whole line of "after the shave" products to prevent razor burn, and the potential breakouts later. They need to be repackaged and marketed as unisex, I think it would encourage more men to indulge. Shaving is an activity that is far more fun shared!

"To bare or not to bare", that is the question! I agree that every woman I know, save one, grooms. With the onslaught of laser hair removal clinics, it is now becoming a given that women will no longer be the slave of the razor, and are finding the pleasures increasing. Having discussed this extensively with women, this simple option has opened up a whole new world for us. As for my preference in men, it depends on the type of hair, anything coarse, curly or prickly should go, as it really can effect the outcome of a rendezvous. One should never wince while walking away from a playdate. On the other hand, unless you are willing to maintain it impeccably, don't bother. I'd rather have long down under than prickles. Big fun is to shave together before hand....

LOL! Thank you both, a sense of humor helps when you have non linear grey matter like I do. I will see what all that means and take it from there. I just don't understand why it has just started recently. Must have hit a button or something.... Catherine

I know this board is FULL of people who's talents concern all things technical. I have a question; for the last week, my responses sent to guests with email addresses ending in @yahoo.com and @rogers.ca have been bounced back to my inbox with this message... This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE. Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed. Some have taken up to 6 days to deliver and some eventually come back as undeliverable, when I know the address is valid. It is not happening to any others. If any of you have sent me an email, and received no answer, this could be the problem. Am I doing something wrong? Any input would be sincerely appreciated... Catherine

Dear Leyley, I have sat on all three sides of the Agency/Indie fence, and I can say that it doesn't matter what area of this industry you are in, it is not easy. The work if far more challenging than people realize. It's alot like the theatre. All you see is the "show", but you don't see the hours of preparation that went into ensuring it is a success. Why some prices are higher... It is a question that often comes up, usually in the querie "is it made of gold?". In reality, there are several reasons that some SP's charge more. I would never speak for others, but I am happy to explain why my rates seem higher. There are several challenges for indies that have already been touched on. The actual man hours involved in the business end of things is more than most realize. When I have ads up, I spend about 3 hours taking care of administration alone. If I see 3 guests, that is 6 hours with my guests uninterrupted. Then there is the accumulated total of guest preparation which will equal another 1.5 hours. On top of that is the physical grooming required. 4 showers, plus all the little things that make being up close and personal so much fun add another 2 hours. It makes for a 12 - 14 hour day which if all 3 guests arrive makes it worth while. If something comes up and there are cancellations, then the profit ratio goes down. This business is like any other business in many ways, you get back what you put in. Unlike other businesses tho, we are sharing the most intimate parts of ourselves with people who have no true vested interest in our wellbeing. How much is taking a risk like that worth? One has to realize the toll this takes on our personal lives. Those of us who commit to genuinely providing for our guests, our personal relationships often take a back seat. I know that with the amount of physical and emotional energy I commit to making my guests satisfied, it can leave very little left over for personal interaction There isn't another business out there like this in that sense. How do you put a price on that? It's hard to do. The difference in considerations between Indies can be attributed to several factors; what their expectations are, what type of investment have they made to this financially and emotionally, and the final which I think is the main factor, is their self esteem. How much does a woman thinks she's worth? Over the years, the one factor in a womans charms that is listed over and over is confidence. For a woman to truly be at home her own skin, she must have a strong sense of self. Everyone will agree that playing with a woman who is happy with herself is so much more fun than an interlude with someone who questions her self worth. I look at this much like the career of an athlete. I have a small window of opportunity to maximize my income to provide for the future. We have no benefits, company RRSP contributions, retirement packages, job security, or regular paychecks. Without the investment of time and of ourselves, we will starve. Society shuns us, banks refuse to business with us, buying a home is akin to getting a face to face with the Dalai Lama. Everything learned and earned is done the hard way. We constantly have pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and keep going. There is no recognition or respect of this trade in the "real" world. There are few like Joyful C, who have the strength and fortitude to have a long career. She is a remarkable woman, and proves this can be a career for those who choose to make it so. This is a business that can be empowering, allowing women control of where they want to go in life (as long as no one in the future finds out once they get there!). Often however, the women get involved out of necessity, as a last resort. Some take it and turn it into something positive. But I have seen strong, intellegent women become escorts and it left permanent scars on them. Others, the ones too beaten down and broken are destroyed by it. You don't know what the long term effects are going to be until it is long past the point of no return. How do you put a price on a risk like that? It boils down to respecting a SP's decision. We all have the option of setting what we feel we need to make the risks worth while, and that is different for everyone. It isn't to be taken personally, it's not that we think we're too good to entertain guests who don't have the disposable income to visit with us. It's just that there are only so many days in a girls life, and she has to try to do the best she can with every one of them...

Once again, thank you! As you have proven thru example time and again, integrity counts and it is appreciated. Sometimes the high road is a bit of a rough ride, but in the end it is always worth it. Keep up the good work!

Darling Dummpy, Thank you! You could not have said it in a more clear, concise or accurate way! I am always open to answering questions, it's important to me that guests are completely at ease with chosing to come and visit. I try to respond withing the hour or the longest two. I will say tho, I have had some problems with Rogers and Yahoo the last couple of days returning my responses as undeliverable, and not delivering emails to my inbox at all. If you have emailed me and recieved no response, please try again, also PM's are a viable option, I check several times per day.

Gentlemen, I understand the position taken by all, and I respect the need to know you are getting value for the money. As I said earlier, I would have no problem with someone who was disappointed in my service to post and say so. I would prefer he tell me in person so I have a chance to correct the situation or make it up to him in some way. But a post would serve to inform me of how to improve my services. Rest assured, I would take it seriously, my guests are my priority and ensuring their enjoyment to the fullest is a responsibility I take very seriously. I would not assume to impose a reaction if someone choose to place a detailed review, is an open forum and we are blessed to live in a country where free speech is guaranteed. It is important to realize, we are all people first and foremost. No two of us are the same, and yet we are. Guests have the right to expect safe,quality service, and SP's have the right to take each guest on an individual basis. I have yet to play a game I didn't enjoy with the right playmate. Does it mean I have to play every game with everyone that walks thru my door? If I advertise a composite list of services and someone walks thru door expecting something that isn't going to work for the both of us, then he will be disappointed. I don't want to mislead anyone. Once there is an established level of trust, it opens up the opportunity to experiment and explore together. My above post was not meant to offend or evoke a reaction in anyone. I was simply trying to explain my point of view. I apologize if anyone assumed I was dictating what someone should or should not write, I would not do that. I realize some enjoy reading the intimate details of reviews, I simply don't want someone to be disappointed if they do not receive everything listed in a review being writing by someone else. I appreciate the feedback, until later, be full of care....Catherine

Thank you both so much! I appreciate the delicate way in which these compliments were paid, I know that posting a review can be a challenge if you try to keep it tasteful. As many of you know, when I first encountered the review boards I was shocked that so much information was given, but after reading the posts I realized the intention is good. I don't have a DO NOT REVIEW, I prefer the acronym DNRD, DO NOT REVEAL DETAILS. I also realize how valuable these boards are to the guests who use the services of companions. It has always disgusted me when I heard stories of the types of cons and ripoffs that go on, and that there was no professional accountablity on the side of the SP's, and I am glad there is somewhere to go to do the necessary research to protect your hard earned dollar, and ensure you have a good experience. I would not have a problem with a post that suggested ways to improve my service. I enjoy the comments the members make, and have found many gems that have been added to my already extensive list of games. As antlerman so kindly pointed out, I am not a spring chicken, and thank goodness for that ! Playtime has improved exponentially with the passing of time, and I have more fun now than I would have ever imagined. Once again gentlemen, thanks...
