  1. Happy Birthday YOW4. I hope you have a great day!
  2. [url]http://www.butterflysw.org/[/url] Remembering and Honouring Tammy Le Jan 29, 2016 -- Butterfly (Asian and Migrant Sex Workers Support Network) mourns the death and honours the memory of Tammy Le, fellow woman working in the sex industry in Hamilton. Tammy Le was found dead early morning on January 23rd at a hotel in Hamilton. Tammy Leâ??s death is not an isolated incident. Following the murders of Jiali Zhang and Evelyn Bumatay Castillo, she is the third Asian sex worker in Hamilton and Mississauga to be murdered within the past two years. Violence against Asian sex workers is a direct result of repressive laws and a climate of hatred towards sex workers and sex work. Because Asian sex workers avoid detection from police and larger societal stigma and discrimination, Asian sex workers are at once both isolated and targeted for violence. Repressive laws and anti-trafficking campaigns target, marginalize and isolate Asian migrant sex workers -- sex workers can neither seek protection nor respect for their rights from government for fear of being arrested, detained and deported. This creates a climate of fear for sex workers â?? they choose to work in locations that are less visible and with fewer safety protections. In December 2013 in Bedford v. Canada the Supreme Court of Canada recognized the harms and unconstitutionality of laws that criminalize sex workers and their workplaces. Six months later a more rigid and repressive set of laws knows as the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act was introduced. These new laws target women assumed to be exploited â?? namely racialized and migrant women in the sex industry. To accompany these new laws, the federal government has allocated millions of dollars for â??human traffickingâ? while neglecting to support the development of safety measures for women working in the sex industry. Much of this government funding has been allocated to police and law enforcement and used to conduct periodic investigations and raids on sex work establishments in the name of anti-trafficking. Asian sex workers are often the targets of these investigations and are subjected to surveillance, arrest, harassment, detainment and deportation. Since December 2015, six sex workers â?? also members of Butterfly â?? have been arrested, detained or deported. Sex workers with legal immigration status have been charged and harassed arbitrarily by city police. These conditions encourage sex workers to work and live in isolation and to avoid mainstream services and protections. They encourage a targeting of migrant sex workers and create a climate of impunity for predators who are aware of the vulnerabilities migrant sex workers face because of criminalization and their risk of deportation. We urge the public to pay close attention to the ways that anti-trafficking measures and repressive legal policies impact sex workers. We encourage creative responses that provide sex workers an opportunity to create safe and secure measures for their work and their lives. We wait with impatience for an end to a climate of hatred of sex workers that encourages people to violate and prey on sex workers. We honour and remember â?? Tammy Le, and the other workers who have survived and lost their lives to violent ends. May they live on in our hearts and provide us with great strength and integrity as we stand up for human dignity and the right for all sex workers to live free from violence, racism, and discrimination.

  3. I don't know. Isn't it 2016? I've never had a guy contact me and say "hey, I'm white, is it ok if I see you?" However, I do remember when I was in NB. Predominately white. So, I had someone contact me, to ask if I could see him as he was black. Of course I told him I'd love to see him. We had a great time. However, every time he called me after, he would say "hey, it's your favourite black boy, can I come over?" A little chuckle between us, as he felt lonely being the only black guy in the university course taking his mechanical engineering degree. The contrast of my pale skin and his deep colour was really nice. I miss him being out here.
  4. If they don't specify in their ads or website, go ahead and contact them. Many of us love seeing all races.
  5. For those that don't know about this gem website, here is a link. http://www.cowboysdiary.info
  6. I agree. I don't like negative talk. i truly love the guys on this board. They are a breath of fresh air - especially when compared to some of the other sites. Some feel it's ok to bitch here. I don't really get it. This site is meant to be a positive site, and it goes both ways. I understand when someone needs to bring up something obvious that needs to be mentioned, but reading thread after thread about negative stuff is a real turn off. The guys wouldn't be able to get away with it, so not sure why some statements are allowed here. Even if not mentioning names, if the guy reads it, he knows it's about him. I'd prefer those discussions be kept private "or don't say anything at all". A toast to the great guys of Lyla, for their contributions, support and adoration. Xo

  9. Happy birthday Monique. I hope you have a great day.
  10. When a recommendation thread has already been started, someone in moderation CAN add to it. He just would not be able to start a new one.

  13. Nope, they are one of the most expensive options for advertising. However, there is no verification of photos, no confirmation of ages, just send them money, and they can post. Craigslist however is free, and even more scams on that one. I just wish guys would use other resources to find providers. Once the guys stop using it to find providers, the scammers will either stop, or go legit. I know this won't happen, but a girl can dream.
  14. The original international was "your friends mom is so hot". So if your friend is at least 18, she would be at least 36 if she had her first child at 18. However, it seems that the age some women have their first child is getting younger and younger. I have a friend who became a grandmother at 35, so technically she would be a gilf. It has slowly progressed into any woman who has had a child, so, a 20 year old mother could technically be called a milf. Personally, I prefer the term cougar. She enjoys seeing men younger then her, and it is not dependent on whether she had a child or not. However, the term seems to have more negative definitions.
  15. Happy birthday Peachka. I hope you have a great day.
  16. I'm not in Vancouver, but am in Victoria. The fact that we no longer are required to have an escort license suggests to me that times are changing. Vancouver also has a dedicated police contact for escorts to contact her directly. So, I'm inclined that yes, Vancouver and Victoria (even though not part of this video), are not interested in actively enforcing the new laws like some other areas of the country other then those that are being trafficked or underage. Remember, both Vancouver and Victoria did not participate in the recent cross Canada visitation of escorts in their incall to confirm they were not being trafficked or underage. If I remember, it was called operation northern spotlight? http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ns/news-nouvelles/releases-communiques/15-10-22-144240-eng.htm

  21. Picking up something from the store. The car parked next to me was right on his right hand line and not in the centre. So when I went back to my car, I bumped his car. He comes storming out called my car a hunk of junk, then freaked when I told him it sounded sexy calling my car a hunk of junk. Didn't even get dirt on his car let alone a dent, but he's freaking saying I smashed his car. I wanted to show him what it was like to really smash a door on his car, but decided to walk away. Grumpy guy. If I had it I would have thrown a $100 at him and told him to get off.
  22. Happy birthday Jake. I hope you have a great day!
