More sexy boots:

Doc martens are perfect for everything .... But, if you want a sexy heel you can get it with your Docs now? The boot is too sexy for words!

Welcome Lauren ... I'm sure the fellows here will be happy to welcome you home!! Porthos

Not being in Ottawa to give Meg a full body massage for her aches and pains. Porthos

I also think it's a lesson in why it's a good idea to take a deep breath and wait a while before posting something. In your original post you gave more than enough details that with about 3 minutes of sleuthing I knew who you were talking about. It was fairly negative about the lady's attitude, etc., etc. I'm really glad you had a great time, and posted a nice for the lady, and corrected things in this thread. Still, now there is a somewhat negative post about the lady, whereas had you waited, nothing but nice things (the mantra of this board) would have been said. Porthos

I'd like to read part 2

lipstick ... always!

Indeed ... Couldn't agree more!!

Getting antibiotics for a bad bronchial infection. I love the pharmaceutical industry!!!!

The lovely and beautiful Sophia Varoushka ... her posts always leave me grinning from ear to ear. She brings so much joy and positivity to this community. And her albums are so creative and sexy. She is a Naughty Alice that I would love to follow down the rabbit hole. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/member.php?u=38592 Julianna ... Julianna is a relatively new member of our community. She is smart, sexy, and is already making a great contribution here. Her pictures really show what a strong woman she is, and how incredibly hot! I love spending time with her, and she is such a welcome presence in the local Newfoundland scene. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/member.php?u=63561

I don't have a specific answer to this question, but I'll hazard a guess. First, though, what you are describing are not tax brackets, but rather different ways of classifying employment and the income you get from it. For taxation purposes, a bracket refers to the rate of tax paid on earned income up to certain amounts. In Canada, the tax brackets used to calculate your income tax are as follows: 15% on the first $42,707 of taxable income, + 22% on the next $42,707 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over $42,707 up to $85,414), + 26% on the next $46,992 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over $85,414 up to $132,406), + 29% of taxable income over $132,406. Now, of course, deductions operate to reduce the total amount of income earned, which then can have an effect on which tax brackets you fall into. These brackets apply to all earned income, regardless of source. In that way, there is NOT a separate bracket for adult entertainers vs self employed escorts. The same rate of tax will apply. I'm not sure about the designations you use Peachy, but it may have to do with employment status. So, for example, if a stripper gets paid by the club a set amount per shift worked, then she could be considered employed by the club. The money she makes from private dances are essentially tips. An escort, who works for an agency could be considered employed. Her share of each call becomes her "salary". However, she could be considered an independent contractor (self employed). The agency's share of each call, would now be thought of as an expense she pays the agency for services rendered ... Administering calls, setting up appointments, etc. it's probably to her benefit to do it this way, as the agency fee would be deductible from her income. In other words, it would be better for her to characterize herself as self-employed as she would be able to maximize deductions. It would also be to the agency's benefit, otherwise they'd have to do CPP and EI deductions and issue T4 statements (maybe they do, I have no idea) An independent escort is self-employed, running her own independent business. You can still call that business adult entertainer or entertainer. For tax purposes that is irrelevant. The key is whether or not you receive an income (paid on a regular basis to do a job for an employer). If not, you are self-employed. Call the job whatever you like. As a self employed person you maximize your deductions. For example, I'm employed. I can't claim a deduction for the costs of running my car, or for getting to work. But if I'm self-employed, and I need a car to conduct my business, then I can. When I go on a business trip my employer pays the costs and I submit expenses that get reimbursed. If I was self-employed doing the same job, I would deduct those costs from my income. Don't get hung up on the terms .... They are just ways of describing what you do, and, from what I can tell largely irrelevant for tax purposes. Perhaps someone else can add some further insight!

And speaking of awkward situations, who can forget Howard's little experiment with the robotic arm. I wonder what the shuttle crews are really doing with the Canadarm

Definitely not cool: Lessons to be learned: a). Don't go to the gym and b) if must go to gym, don't go with SO!! Porthos

A gorgeous day and I'm inside sick

Mmmmm.... Pancakes

Burgers are so hot:

Strawberries, chocolate, and sex: That's fun, but a bit tame ... This on the other hand: Is very hot (but very messy) Or what about chocolate bondage

Cooking, cooking can be a very sensual experience http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2knkEiyD0bM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Save me a spot!!!!

High rises are definitely the way to go, and as others have said trust is critical. I don't know what rent is like in Fredericton, but start off with how much rent and associated costs will be and then what you need the apartment to generate in income. You might find that you could regularly rent it to touring ladies for less than hotel costs, but sufficient that you could cover your rental expenses in x number of days a month. Then see if the remaining days a month give you the income you need. Talk to the respected and regular touring ladies. There could be a deal to be worked out. Porthos

My first serious foray into this lifestyle was in Winnipeg. The lady I saw most regularly shared an incall with another lady. It was a two bedroom apartment. Most of the time when I was there I didn't see the other lady. My SP always greeted me at the door, we sat in the living room, moved to the bedroom. If the other lady was there she usually stayed in her room until I was in the bedroom. Only once did I hear her entertaining. Must confess I found it kind of hot! Eventually I saw both ladies, both individually, and as a duo. So it became very comfortable for everyone. They were very good friends, and seemed extremely good at working out the scheduling to minimize overlap and two clients knocking at the door at the same time. That seems to me to be the key.

Gabriella, I'm so sorry this has happened, and the offending party should, in my view, be ousted from the board. Reading the two sets of text side by side (thanks Cowboy) it is very clear that your words have been stolen. The transparent attempt to hide it by changing a few words here and there doesn't succeed. Although it does rob the original of it's elegance and the sparkle that we know to be the one and only Gabriella! Porthos

Way to go Spud ... I love your posts!!
