Question of the day: Who's your "hobby hero"? Guys, is there someone- a reviewer, a friend, even a fictional character- whose opinions, reviews, life choices, etc, have influenced the way you hobby and the providers you see? And ladies, who was your mentor? Or was there a particular provider that you really admired when you first started out, or that you still always check out?
Amanda Brooks is my hero! Well, one of them anyway- she is an independent escort and she has an awesome, incredibly informative blog (and book series) that is different from anyone else out there. She's smart, witty, and isn't just another random scam artist trying to cash in by writing a "how-to" book on a topic she knows nothing about. She basically works in all these different capacities and travels all over the world as an escort, then writes the truth about it- very rare indeed.
And last but not least, I count Terrilynn as one of my "heroes" (although technically I didn't start reading her posts til long after I started out), for her sweetness and genuine kindness to just about everyone. She is always amongst the first to enthusiastically welcome a new or traveling provider to Atlanta, and although we have never met, I am damn sure that she hasn't got a selfish bone in her body. I think that almost all of my peers (that means independents AND other agencies, they are all my peers) involved in this "hobby" share these traits, but Terrilynn raises the bar, and sets a great example for us all to follow.
I'd also like to nominate YOU for such a great post, thanks!
xoxo Caylee

Mrs. Warren of George Bernard Shaw's play Mrs. Warren's Profession--sorry no italics in here. Mrs. Warren, a dignified, upscale, Victorian England, blackgaurd of an old woman who secretly made her fortune managing brothels after working her way up the prostitution chain. She uses her newfound fortune to afford her daughter a Cambridge education (unheard of in her time), and the truth of her situation is brought to light when the daughter rejects the marriage proposal of the son of an old Mrs. Warren-flame/customer--now the local Reverend. Some great quotes of Mrs. Warren:
"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them."
"There are no secrets better kept than the secrets that everybody guesses."
And of course, to the local Reverend as he pleas to purchase his old love letters to Mrs. Warren: " I may sell my body, but fear not -- knowledge is power, and I never sell power."
Mrs. Warren is shameless and way ahead of her time. Great writing elements, and the play openly criticizes a society that both creates and chastises Mrs. Warren. Written in 1893 and still relevant. Mrs. Warren personifies the constant mental battle of a feminist working in what is CONSIDERED an anti-feminist industry. Free on Google Books!
Great thread idea, Dynasty! I'm a big fan of The Texas Golden Girl too.
First I read the "Rumor-gate" thread and then several posts up I find one of the most interesting (and best) posts I have ever read here - quotes from a George Bernard Shaw play. What a contrast!! Thanks for the tip - I am off for on a trip later in August for several weeks and will take Mrs. Warren's Profession with me.
I wouldn't really call playing yourself on camera "acting", but I enjoyed the show completely. I hope it comes back, with him in the lead of course. I won't watch it with anyone else in the lead. Us horndogs have to stick together afterall. lol
I do believe I have tears in my eyes now. You all are awsome! How do you respond to something like this? With a huge SMILE!!!!! Well DynastyCo I would LOVE to meet and have a cold drink. Such a great post and such sweet words that hell I feel like buying you dinner! I agree with Caylee that you are a hero for such a fabulous post. As for my heros? Hhhhmm lets see, That would have to be a woman named Steffani from years ago that I did my very first appointment with. She was beautiful and taught me a lot! I would also have to concider my hero to be SEX!! I know sex is not a person but without it none of us would be here on this board now and it feels OH SO GOOD!!! Other than that I also concider my fellow providers as heros as they are the most giving people I know and all you wondeful gents that I know that F%$*K me good and help me keep my bills paid. You are definitely heros to me. And oh yea Caylee, I dont know what I would do without you either. Love you girl! Hugs and kisses TL
I don't think there is any more doubt about his drug use than there is doubt about him seeing prostitutes, or me seeing them, or you seeing them. lol
As for the drug use, he is finding out what many of us did at a similar age, Your body can only put up with so much abuse for so long. I had to give that shit up as well, not in as dramatic or public a fashion, but I might still be filling my nose if I weren't so sure that not only would it send me to an early grave, but it would diminish the years I had left. Pussy or drugs? not even a question worth asking.
Khori- who taught me how this SHOULD work, as she made me feel so comfortable and I just love her attitude when I first saw her (guess that's why i went back 4x in one month after I moved to Atlanta LOL). I gauged all my future encounters from how she treated me (with class). To this day, when she shows that sly smile my heart just melts (and other things respond). The best ever (total package)....really. Spending time with her is sheer joy- and I know others that will agree.
TLynn- not a negative bone in her body. She is a caring individual that gives back to her community. PLUS- fantastic experience with her in this business.
Not a 'white knight"- just appreciation for 2 fine ladies in this business.
When I first noticed her I was blown away! I absolutely love reading her stories! They really get me HOT and READY!!! Also DynastyCo! You are awesome! I'm very lucky to know you! All my guy friends here are the most wonderful I've met... you guys are definitely heroes in my book!
