is that people in these forums love to make assumptions based on lies. if you look at Tobi Telford's responses to me, you'll see that clearly. it's obvious that someone who used to frequent here has told her lies about me. Tobi believes those lies. what can I say?

Re: Wow! I had no idea about Aldo's reputation here. To begin, thanks to a certain new friend of mine who forewarned me about how those "in the know" view Aldo's work.  I have wanted to have a shoot with him for years as his images are lovely and the feedback from others who have worked with him has been very positive, and said friend's input came about a week before my scheduled shoot.  
   
 Well, I did the shoot with him recently and yes, he was very nice to work with.  My stylist was almost 30 minutes late and he was very patient with waiting for her and allowing her to give him another set of eyes in posing me, fluffing my hair, etc...  
   
 When I saw my proofs, I was incredibly impressed.  I can honestly say that 90% of the images from our two hour shoot are usable, which rarely happens for me as I am SO awkward when it comes to being photographed (and I aim for three shoots every twelve months so that should tell you I'm REALLY awkward!)  Of those 90%, the only retouching that needs to be done is to maybe even out my skin tone (my spray tan had washed away on the lower half of my body lol) and cropping or blurring my face.  Okay, and maybe smooth out the wrinkle in my skirt or a strange vein popping out of my foot, but certainly not to give me a whole "liposuction/butt lift/plastic surgery makeover"...I can do that on my own in real life!  :)  
   
 Maybe I just had a really good day and chemistry with him and my stylist being present but I really aim to keep these images as close to the proofs as possible.  I'm communicating this to him as I make my final decisions on images.  I'm truly surprised to hear this kind of feedback about him here as if I'd known about this before, there is a chance that I would not have booked the shoot with him.  I'm glad that I just found out about this after setting the appointment with him and I am certain to work with him again, even if I have to fly to his location.

...that's not me.  I'm much older and fatter than the guy in that photo."

I've had two photo shoots with Aldo, and while he smoothed out my freckles and birth marks as I'd requested way back, I was actually that thin. I had lost some serious weight and very fast so I got a photo shoot for accuracy. (And because I felt badass. JK)

I got a second photo shoot (a long hair shoot that I never used because I decided against extensions,) and guess what? I was the weight I am now. Nice and vivacious curvy and fun filled packaged with... the point is, he didn't make me thinner and the photos looked hot.  

Now, on the other hand, while I'm assured the photos are/were tailored to the customer's request, it's only by request. Any photographer I've worked with, including Aldo, would know that a lot of ladies don't actually want the weight taken off.

I know one girl in particular where a reviewer totally lied about her. He's dead wrong in that review. I've spent two full weekends and some with that girl, seen her naked, at every angle, hair up, hair down, dresses, jeans, tank tops, bra and panties, whatever. The girl ain't lying. And if anyone knows, it's their competition - another woman.

Guess what - hobbyists lie too. Bet you guys never thought about that. The stereotype people are putting on Aldo's photos are affecting innocent bystanders who ask for minimal editing of skin imperfections and lighting to put photos up that simply erase identifiers such as face and marks on the body, and to have a certain coloring/look/professional, matching photos

I'm not mad at you, I'm upset about how a certain photographer is viewed by many, affecting women who accurately represent themselves while bringing professionalism to the table.

I usually skip providers with Aldo photos because I've learned the girl who shows up will look nothing like the girl in the photos. I've also learned that if the girl looks "thick" in the Aldo photos that she will appear much larger in real life. To me Aldo means, you're in for a BIG surprise and you may not like it.

Lets call it what it is, if a lady doesn't look like a anorexic waif in her Aldo pics she is going to be downright FAT IRL. No need to sugarcoat it. Except for that "stupid piece of wood" who claims to not even know who Aldo is, the rest of us have known this for years.

Personally I think any lady that still uses Aldo pics is doing herself a disservice, at least where it comes to experienced mongers. If her goal is to attract newbies who most likely have never even heard of TER, that's fine, but if her goal is to get the experienced guys to dial her digits, an Aldo photo shoot is going to have the opposite effect. Most of us who've been around for while will simply assume the girl in the pics will be forty pounds heavier when she actually opens the door, even if it's not true. Sorry, but those are the facts as most experienced mongers see it.

That's why so many of the gals work the room trying to get newbies to disregard the counsel of the more experienced dudes here.

Heck...some of the gals can still convince some delusional dudes that this is still a first run show as well  ;

No, about 40 lbs. heavier is about right.

You can't be serious?  If you are then you're my next bet for gambler's infamous SPOTY bet.  

Now that macai character is gone and JCA is aiming for the most cryptic humor of the year spot, I just might have to re-balance my SPOTY betting portfolio.  

I guess it's like managing a fund, we have to re-balance that every now and then in accordance to changes in the market. Our investment banker friend RT might pretend to know a little bit about that but I'm wondering if he's still using references from girls he has never met... without their consent.  LOL

GaGambler690 reads

and yes SPOTY portfolios need constant rebalancing.

He recently informed me he was lurking here.  I don't doubt he will be back to lead us from the Wilderness.

I think you meant "eradicated." But who knows.  As for the rest of your pathetic post, you seem to spend plenty of time here yourself.  And you have come back many, many times with different names when you screwed the pooch over and over again. Pot=Kettle=Black!
SPOTY alert!

Even more surprising is that this is happening in america, the land of the free.
Many other countries legalized this shit and people can hobby as they see fit without needing to worry about LE doing stupid shit like this

You stupid retard. What YOU are doing is slander and defamation of a character. Not that I give a shit about what some tree trunk says about me but get your facts straight.  

If your reading comprehension is lacking, let me explain it to you in a way that a tree could understand it.  
LE can use their resources to fight crime like DUI, homicide, theft, assault, etc.  

Posting pictures of suspected johns are a waste of time especially when the john and the escort were consenting adults.  

Go talk to some trees instead of accusing me of DUI when I never got one under my record. Fucktard

That LE shouldn't waste resources on what consenting adults do in the privacy of closed quarters.

 
My question is, How would LE fight Homicide, Theft, and Assault?...  

 
Especially homicide, how does an entity fight an action, which is usually an reaction to another action?  

 

premise  

as a premise in an argument, theory, etc

Or does he just assume that Vietnam encompasses all of Asia?

I wouldn't take it too personally, though. He accused me of posting "fake ads" and "attempting to fool the community" because I don't show my tattoos. I tried to explain to him that it's to keep lunatics like himself from identifying me, but you know...the whole reading comprehension thing. :D

GaGambler791 reads

Not only do all Asians look the same to him, I imagine so do all humans.

Maybe he is just mad that paper is made from dead trees, and that could explain his reading comprehension issues???

Re: I just love that he told him to "go back to Vietnam" like six times. I laughed my tits off.

Step 3 - buy an atlas (you'll see that not only do Ohio and Kentucky share a border, but also that Vietnam is a small country on the continent of Asia)
Step 4 - do some research to verify that not all Asians are Vietnamese. Google should confirm the existence of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Laotian, Thai, and many more Asian nationalities
Step 5 - you know what? Fuck it. Just re-enroll in third grade. It's a page 1 rewrite in your case.

It's funny cuz the stupid wood thinks he seems to think he's more American than other Americans including Asian Americans.  

Coming from the forest I doubt he can tell the difference though

Guess they're finally catching up to the technology age.  Locals like the gossipy, salacious nature of the disclosure, but the program fades out after a while.

the newspaper even prints the photos of people arrested and convicted for writing bad checks. In the major city I come from, somebody has to murder at least three people at once to warrant a photo.

Are these photos of johns convicted, arrested or...? I can't imagine a force posting photos of someone who's only been arrested. Lots of lawsuits.

GaGambler813 reads

As long as they only say that the guys who's pics they are splashing all of the paper are only "accused johns" there isn't anything slanderous about it.

Personally I feel you can only be "shamed" if you are actually ashamed about what you are doing. They can post my pic to their hearts content, as long as they spell my name right. i don't feel the least bit of shame for seeing hookers.

I am not familiar with this term.

GaGambler892 reads

Like fucking a fat ugly pig on your last day in Costa Rica. lol

The only way I would feel shame if "caught" attempting to book a hooker is if the hooker turns out to be really fucking ugly. Otherwise, while I might be irritated about the inconvenience and expense of getting arrested, I would hardly be feeling shame.

LE in america can surely use that budget to do something more productive with that money.

It's like that S8 inspector for a rental property I had several years ago. I already did the inspection from the city but the S8 inspector needed to come again to do a double inspection. The fuckin place was only 10 years old but he needed to find some really stupid minor things... JUST TO JUSTIFY HIS EXISTENCE.  

LE in america has too much fuckin time and money on their hands. Instead of fighting real crime, they want to spend their budget fighting two consenting adults where there are no human trafficking whatsoever. They need to justify their existence so they come up with these stupid slanderous bullshit.  

Just who the fuck do they think they are if they really think they can change all the johns in the hobby  by passing some stupid policy. It's only THE OLDEST PROFESSION known to man kind. Men have been like this for thousands and thousands of years and they think they can change how we are? ROFLMAO

Is the D. A. drunk?  Well, not me, I'm referring to the District Attorneys passing this bullshit.  

Maybe I'll move to another country one of these days if they don't legalize this soon. Many other countries have found a way to fight the real crime of human trafficking without trying to fight the oldest profession known to man.  America needs to wake up.

Getting in trouble with the law is like getting a tattoo.
Once you get one.. Its easy.

QuinnAdams777 reads

How would anybody get caught?

Now, please don't misunderstand me here: I am not that naive as to believe that people don't get caught, and I know it happens everyday.  

What I am asking (and this is really something I don't know the answer to; I am still somewhat of a newbie in the biz, only having been involved for 6 months give or take) is that, assuming:

1) The provider does her research and verifies the client's identity using P-411, TER, and/or Datecheck and 2 recent provider references (of course everybody has their own methods and requirements, but this seems to be pretty standard across the board), and...

2) The hobbyist sees a girl who is well-reviewed and clearly an actual provider as opposed to undercover LE...

Then isn't it highly unlikely -- although I don't want to use the term "impossible" -- that anybody would get caught up in a legal predicament as a result of their hobbying or providing?

Again, I don't mean to sound dumb here, or really naive, but I am just trying to understand the concern here and scenarios that are likely to increase the risk for either the hobbyist or the provider.  

It seems to me that the fine gents who use TER tend to be more schooled and experienced with the biz, and are therefore unlikely to run into a situation that results in legal woes.  

This also goes for the stories I have heard about BP Rip-Offs. It seems that most of the men who use TER, and especially those who post on these forums and are actively involved in the community, are too careful and experienced to find themselves either charged with a crime or robbed by a rogue provider.

Maybe I am wrong though and am looking at this with ignorant optimism...

U r right but there are individuals that don't use ter and get a street walker or gents that don't do their homework and get caught. These are the guys who usually get caught imho.

+1.....if you use TER/datecheck/p411 and 2 reference from well review ladies, what is the possibility to get caught in this LE sting??  This topic has been discuss many time in this board, and all LE does is using backpage, undercover street walkers etc to catch those "johns".
