I see that I've received 2 new bad reviews and that is ok.  Everyone has their opinions.  But I will say this.  You gentleman have a choice of who you would like to see, the ladies on the other hand have no control over what comes through the door.

I notice some hobbyist post bad reviews or negative comments about some providers.  Some may be true and some may not.  But alot can also be said about some of the hobbyists that we providers see.  The difference is, we cannot post it like you all can.

Let's be honest we are all human and there are times when we have bad days.  Trust me, our lives does not revolve around TER we have personal lives that come first.  I'm not trying to sound bitter about my reviews, because if the truth be told, I don't care because my good reviews outweigh my bad.  

I've heard so many tales of bad experiences with gentlemen because they were not attracted to the women.  But here is a news flash, not all of us providers are attracted to everything that comes through our door either.

Let me clarify some things to you about me.  Speaking for myself (Chanel), when you come to see me, MAKE NO MISTAKE YMMV.  If when you come to see me, you think that my appearance is less than what my reviews say, why would you stay and spend your hard earned money.  Please do us both a favor and decline before you step foot in my place.  I try to get along with and please everyone but that doesn't always happen, just like hobbyists do not like every single provider that they attempt to see.  I know that alot of hobbyists will be upset behind what I just wrote and probably will not come and see me because of it, and that is fine too.  Once again, you can't please everybody.

Chanel,

As long as you try your best to provide the best for your clients then you are alright with me.  You are right, you cannot please everyone who walks thru the door.  If you try to make the person feel good and important at that time, then you have done your best.  We all just do not click......  Keep up your smile and have fun!!!!

MonsterJazz

Chanel, don't be upset by the "bad" reviews. No one can please everyone. I have given 10/10 reviews to two providers, and there have been reviews on these same two providers, in which they got 6s and 7s. Go figure! As you say, YMMV. You know how I feel about you.

You know, I just love you to death.  I always appreciate your kind words.  I know some will be offended but like I said, you cannot please everyone.  I am a strong black woman and I am always going to speak my mind.  I've had many bad things said about me, especially in the beginning, but I never turned anyone away or refused to see anyone because of it and I hope that the hobbyist here will extend me the same courtesy.  

Chanel

And you know how I feel about you too Oxygen! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

XOXO
Chanel

Sweetie, I promised that I'd send you some Joe Williams songs, as you know, he's one of my favorites. I haven't been able to get enough of his songs downloaded. A lot of his tunes are with Count Basie band in which he's a band singer. I'll keep trying.... yes, I know, I'm very trying. Kisses.

I know they will.  I love you to death too!!!!!  You are very special....

Mj

Like the other men have stated don't worry about the bad reviews....I have always stated in the past that I am not everyones cup of tea and not every client is my cup of tea...Like u I try to provide the best service I can to my clients....You are an exceptional provider and your regular clients see that!!! Thats why in this business it is the perference of the client as well as the provider on who they decide to see!!!! Just my 02...

Terri

Chanel,

As you know, I was one of the a-holes who originally gave you a sight unseen hard time. I have apologized to you in person and I learned a very valuable lesson about my judgementalism.

The thing that impresses me with you is the way you stay cool and graceful in the face of difficult situations. Your way of expressing yourself is refreshing, you seem upfront and like there is no b/s. When you said that if a hobbiest doesn't like what he see's he should leave, I actually think you mean that and would not give him a hard time.

One of the reviews mentioned your pics must be old, well if that is the case then you have gotten lovelier. When we met, I was more than surprised with how attractive, sophisticated and poised you are. Many hobbiests have mentioned that your pics don't do you justice.

As for 2 people not clicking, that is always a possibility.

The whole piece about attraction of the provider for the hobbiest is also true. As a not so slender or good looking of a man, I have always considered myself fortunate that so many beautiful women will treat me with caring, respect and be so down right playful and sexy with me. I know that most 25 to 40 yo women don't find over-weight, middleage men that hot. God love the ones who do!!

Thats my .02

True pleasure providers will please everyone that walks through their door. Be it old, be it fat, be it little, be it sometimes big. A professional is a professional if that is her business. You have a responsibilty as a PLEASURE PROVIDER to please the client, if you do not "feel" his vib or the connection isn't there you owe it to him to inform him and ask him to leave as you refund his $$. Money does make the world go around and an hour of your time is $$ in your pocket. Like it or not if you are a pleasure provider then your "job" is to provide pleasure. Close your eyes if you have to or take it from behind, that's hoe101. Good luck with whatever walks through your door. By the way, if you loved them all it would be called dating. No course there just comon sense.

This is my personal view of the post by 8thatNthrewup is it is some what insulting (my precption).

The view expressed is clearly leads me to believe, money is the most important thing for 8thatNthrewup in the world and it is ok.

Remember there are people who vlaue, compassion, treating others as equals if not better with respect and kindness above all else including money, and it is called personal vlaue.

Last time I looked around, providers (i.e., pleasure providers) are people and I have met a few, I have become friends and care about them immensly.

Crude, rude and disrespectful behavior earns one the name such as AHOLE, Jack-Ass, Jerk and few other adjectives, even those with lots of money.

By the way, I have never heard of anyone taking money with them after their life ends on the earth.

Just my 02¢ and no intention of starting fight, even if any one starts one.

Peace!

If you have seen me before then you know that looks do not matter to me much.  The last comment was made that I should provide good service to everyone who comes through my door should be good.  First of all, I give all of my clients the same treatment to some degree.  I have a client who is about 560 lbs. and I have some who probably weigh 80 lbs., I have white clients, black clients, old clients, and young clients.  My client list ranges.  So it is not necessarily about looks but your attitude accounts for alot with me.  But like I said, I treat everyone the same pretty much so the question is not do I give everyone the same service but what you consider to be good because believe you me, my definition of what may be good to me is not the same as what is good to everyone else.  If everyone's taste was alike then everyone who gets a 10 will always get a 10, or a 9 or 8 (whatever their number may be).  And believe me, I have turned some clients away and it had nothing to do with looks.  I have principles that I live by too.  If a family emergency comes up, guess what comes first?  Everything in life is choices.  If you are upset for whatever reason, whether it is something that I did or not, then you should not come and see me, because if you are in a bad mood what do you think the session will be like.  Reschedule.  Believe me, when I'm in a bad mood I won't even answer the phone. If you come in in a bad mood, I will try to ease it as best I can, but if it doesn't work and we are 1/2 way through the session, I'm not giving anything back because I worked for it.

As for the pictures, I had on a blonde wig and they were not old.  I put them up 4 days after I took them.  No one even came to see me from Cityvibe until about 2 months later.  By then I took the blonde wig off.  

But as I stated once again, I'm not mad about anything.  It will take more than a review or a couple of bad words to bring me down.  Don't get it twisted.  Just because I state my opinion on something doesn't mean that it upset me.

Sorry, I typed in the wrong name on the subject line.  My apologies.

If it isn't about money then it would be a relationship not a hobby. Try to keep the business staight. "Meeting friends that I care about immensly in the business"? It isn't a place to make relationships it is a place to make $$. That is why it is the oldest profession around. No one plans on taking it with them but everyone should invest in their future. No intention of a fight here either, but most professionals can give you an experience of a relationship without being connected to you or forming a relationship. That is why they get rated "forgot it was a service". When it comes down to the bottom line, some make the money and others pay for it.

Chanel,
Your reputation on the Board speaks for itself. I still get totally amaZED at the stupid comments sometimes made here. All of us being human, ANY interaction with another person is YMMV. My experience has always been that if you treat people with kindness and respect, chances are, you'll get that in return. Not always-but the majority of the time. Don't let a couple of ignorant comments get under your skin.....Keep smiling!

What you just said makes no sense.  NO COURSE THERE JUST COMMON SENSE.  There is no way humanily possible that you could please everyone.  I'm 34 years old, school for me was over a long time ago.  I'm sorry, I didn't go to hoe school to take hoe101, but if you want me to make you feel better, I guess I could say that even though I did not attend it was good to know you were there taking notes.

What kind of pleasure are you offering to a man if you have to take it from behind and close your eyes???  I guess if I was a man that might turn me on to know that a woman wants to keep her back to me and keep her eyes close.  Yeah right!

You know what?  I don't even know why I am sitting here trying to have a conversation with someone who makes no sense whatsoever.  But here is a lesson in keeping_it_real101.  I'm turning my back on you and closing my eyes because I'm done talking to you.

or at least post under you real name.  It is so lame to past under an alias when you are cutting someone down.

Shouldn't say this-but I will. God-you're an ass! If all it took to make you happy was for someone to give you "hoe 101" (close their eyes and take it from behind), then everyone would be a 10. Obviously, your expectations are more than that. Ever stop and think about what YOU bring to your encounters( besides money)? If all you want is someone to close their eyes and take it from behind while you pay your $, go trolling on the streets. If you want more than that, look in the mirror and realize that YMMV.

I enjoyed the time spent with you so don't understand why a bad review.  (need to write mine when get the chance).   But I recommend her.

But like Chanel said, can't please the people all the time just some of the time.

Yeah, nothing turns me on more than knowing the lady I'm with is disgusted...

Chanel, stop cutting your prices, lady.  You don't need to "reduce" your service fees.  When you do this, it has a tendency to "invite in unwanted guests".

Bottom line, stop cutting your prices; you DON'T need to go "on sale" all the time!  Kisses & Hugs and keeping on smiling!!

Sweet lady, you know I supported you when you first got slamed, You are a wonderful woman, only ones who see you as you are can be the lucky ones.  You do not even need to respond to the few who complain as they would complain if Marilyn Monrow came looking.  You are one fine lady and I consider myself lucky to have been the one who TOFTT in the beginning and came back for more. We, the hobbiest are the lucky ones for you to allow us to see you.  Do not forget that.  You are an asset to the family. As you know, I also love you to death do us part.  Sometimes I thinks that may be soon as my heart has been broken so many times lately that I feel that I cannot go on anymore, but your memory will keep me afloat, thanks for allowing me to see you, hope to see you at the next board meeting,  Love to you, Jimmy

Chanel,

My review wasn't meant as a personal attack, and neither is this response.  I tried to post an accurate review of my experience for the benefit of others.  You have 3 pages of great reviews from respected hobbyists, and you have firmly  established a history for good service and meeting client expectations.

Unfortunately, we didn't have an enjoyable time.   As stated, it could've been me, could've been you, or a combo.  YMMV with anyone, and judging by your other reviews, I  got an atypical experience. Maybe it seems unfair to providers, but I'm glad that hobbyists aren't reviewed or commented on-- we are not the ones providing a service and getting paid.  

Yes, clients do have more choice of who they see, but providers also have a choice of who they let through door.  If you don't like a client, you can refuse entry just as easy as we can walk away.  In hindsight, that is what we both should've done.

Chanel, I'm sorry we didn't have a great time, but I wish you and your business the best.  You have a great & established clientele, a convenient location, & a superb building.

I have met you several times at the board meetings and yur brother once. You are a beautiful young woman. You know who your are and what you are about.

I have never seen you as a provider but from what I do know you, you should not be trying to explain anything to anyone.

My Best

Alexis,

Fees don't really have to much to do with it at all.  A person who c an afford $$$$$$$$$$ or a person who can afford $$ can still treat a lady like a lady and with the respect she deserves.  Money does not bring in home training.  I have had clients who have much money and have been so rude and and selfish.  Then I have had clients who had to make every penny count and were the nicest people.  Just because a person can spend more money does not mean the will respect you more.  Sometimes it's the exact opposite. If Chanel wants to run a special then so be it.  It brings in more business for her.  A sale is a sale and we all want to save a few bucks if we can.  When this takes place this not mean that her clientel has to treat her bad.  It just means more business for her.  The hobbiest still can treat her with respect and kindness.  It all comes down to who the person is and how they were raised.  Again home training.  Not fees!!!!!!

Just my .02cents ( oops, .03cents interst rates on the rise and gas too.)

MonsterJazz

Hi Monster Jazz!

Pleeeeeze understand that I was just looking out for Chanel when I said that she doesn't need to cut her fees.

You are RIGHT in saying that all hobbyists should treat her with respect, but apparantly that didn't really happen - so I just was trying to make her feel better.  I even called her last night to try and give an "ole pep talk".

OK, maybe fees don't have the entire picture here....and I'm sorry for presenting my.02 cents in a way that has touched you kind of in a harsh way, but I was just thinking that this little lady is worth "whatever she wishes" and doesn't it seem that her bad reviews came about during a "super sale"??  I could be totally wrong on this, but I was trying to see if rate reduction versus "bad reviews" were a direct/indirect corrolation.  Too much thinking, right????

MJ, it's just something for us all to ponder on??  OK, now I'll just hang my little puppy head & tuck my tail between my legs and go home!!  LOL

Kisses & Hugs, MJ

Alexis

Sweet Alexis,

You are so sweet and cuddly.  You are always trying to help a person and you are the sweetest.  I too should give her a call and offer my support as well.  I am ashamed that I did not do that the first time.  Chanel I am sorry for not calling.

I don't think fees had anything to do with it at all.  I think it was two peolple who did not click and it was reviewed as one person opinion.  Which is fine.  The reveiwer told it from his point of view and so be it.  You can't please everyone.  Chanel is very strong and resilant and it was just a bad day at the office.  Heck, we all have them.  Her reviews are very strong and they speak for themselves.  Chanel is a top provider and she will always stay that way in my eyes.  Alexis you to are a top provider and a sweetheart as well.  Your heart is always in the right place.....

Just a thought......

MonsterJazz

This kind of crap will never end until the TER staff and moderators sit down and have a chat. UH, that means communicate and watch out for the communities back.
This policy of giving

A. A free ride to some one that posts x amount of posts in a specific time period.

B. Letting PAID members post unmoderated.

I rarely speak here because I dont wanna get caught up in the drama. I have seen horrific things get posted here about providers,some true and some not.
It is absolutely time the providers pulled together and defended ourselves from TER.
Tis not the Garden of Eden here.....................
We as women are in control and if we are not well,then we should be. Indiscriminant posting by TER members looking for a free ride should be exposed by us in a forum such as this.
Put the POWER BACK IN THE PUSSY!!!!!!!!!
TYVM.P.T.

MJ,

Sorry I wasn't able to talk longer to you earlier tonight....  Thanks for such a wonderful response.  Looks like we are both on the same page and you are too kind (blushing now)!

Wet Kisses!

Alexis

In your post you said, " True pleasure providers will please everyone that walks through their door."

Ummmm....yeah, right....that's how things work in the world, but you forgot to mention:

All doctors have a great bedside manner, always correctly diagnose illness on the first test, and always cure any disease they find.

All waiters always have the demeanor you would wish, personable or professional depending on what each and every customer prefers, and never spill anything or get something with an order wrong.

All clothing stores carry merchandise that you like, look good in and can easily afford.

All movies are enjoyable, enlightening and entertaining to everyone in the audience.

All music speaks to each individual listener, is in the stlye each enjoys, and it all has a good beat and you can dance to it.

All books are written to every level of reader, and gives insight, and themes that are agreed with and understood by all.

All message board posts are intelligent, witty and correct, and only receive positive reafirming replies, writen by good and thoughtful people.

and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on ad nausium....


It must be wonderful being perfect, and never in the course of life, personal or professional ever disappointing anyone.  With absolutely no need for any amelioration, how do you manage to suffer having to share the world with us mere mortals?


On to the issue of "Hoe 101" (You took this class in one of those Central American Colleges that hand out degrees to anyone that pays their tuition didn't you?) Quote: "Close your eyes if you have to or take it from behind".....ummmm hate to break this to you but that's actually from "fuck-toy 101"  the latex/blow-up chapter  in the required text, "So, Your hand Ain't Doing It For You, But You Don't Know How to Treat a Human Being Like a Human Being."  

If anyone wants something that will just take it no matter what and not complain because of some monetary involvement, might I suggest a Real Doll (http://www.realdoll.com)?  They'll let you do anything....you get to decide how they look, how they dress, and how they'll take  you.  They'll always be exactly what you want, and it will alaways be just about you getting your rocks off no matter what you do to achiece that, and if you pop for the extra connector, they will even moan, and sigh so you can pretend they actually like you, and you're pleasing them.

I didn't even know that the Pussy lost it's power. As far as I'm concerned, the Pussy rules the world. It has more than 9 lives, and like the Eveready battery, it just keeps going and going.
I've always said, and great men before me have said,"there is only one thing better than Pussy, and that's MORE PUSSY"
Long live the puddy tat!

Thats too funny, took my breath away..................
Thanks Oxygen for makin my mornin hahahaha's!!!
tyvm,P.T.

Damn, P.T. now I've got to figure out who you are!!! You are the second mystery lady today. Are you the keeper of that hairless puddy tat??

Long Live Pussy and her Power.To paraphrase an old song:

"Did you ever see a Pussy walking, well Idid,
Did you ever hear a Pussy talking, well I did,
Did you ever have a pussy thrill you with "Will you be mine?"
Oh, it's so grand and it's too,too divine

Did you ever find heaven right between her legs, saying  I  love you, I do,
  Well, the the pussy that was walkin'
and the pussy that was talkin'
and the heaven between your legs was you.

Excellent point and the same thing I said when some simp tried to criticize me for saying the atlanta courtesans arent the sharpest knives in the drawer.

No we are not the same person. She lives on the west coast and that can be proven by staff here with an IP checkaroo thingy.
She is a wise and thought provoking woman. That was/is her only intention to create a space for thoughtfull consideration of the dillemma how to keep you guys from posting potentially dangerous things about a provider. Having observed first hand what can happen here she wants to help eleviate those mishaps. I asked her for help as she is a moderator at 2 other sites and she's a better writer than I am.

Very well stated, WT, and you really cracked me up with your 'Hoe 101' comments:
"So, Your hand Ain't Doing It For You, But You Don't Know How to Treat a Human Being Like a Human Being."  LoL !!

As far a Real Dolls go, don't knock it 'til you've tried it - they have male models too, ya know...
