On my way from the airport the other day I saw the blue billboard that has been much talked about.  

No, there were no pictures on it; just an ominous blank rectangle and the words "Your Picture Here if you are picking up a prostitute in Minneapolis" and then a website address.  I really hope they never actually do this but YIKES if they do!  So to everyone here, especially anyone "new" to this hobby, WOMEN AND MEN---be careful!

Ladies!  Be smart!  Know what you can and cannot say on your websites and be on the cleaner side of the law.  There are great legal resources around, and plenty of good people willing to offer advice. SCREEN SCRREEN SCREEN!  You don't have to be "mean" to do it, but unless you want to be the girl that gets busted and have all your CLINETS end up on that billboard, know who you are seeing!  

Gentlemen!  Please please please be careful! I understand many of you are thrill seekers, and not looking for a ATF.  You want variety.  Fine!  There are 1500 reviewed providers in Minnesota!  See one of us.  See hundreds of us!  But see women who screen, and who you honestly know or sincerely trust to be secure with your information.  TER is a great resource.  Get a membership and contact people who have seen the lady you are looking at, get thier impressions with PMs or read the detailed reviews so you know all you want to know without putting things in writing that smart escorts won't answer.  If you like to be spontaneous, get "pre-approved" with a few people, then you won't have the "last minute" problems of getting references.

Everyone:  Be smart when getting together.  If you meet out in public, don't shout out names!  Don't lurk in hallways. If going to an incall location, be aware of who is around you when you buzz in.  If things don't seem right, get out.  Lose a few bucks over losing your freedom.

Ugh, I could write a freaking book on all my thoughts, but I guess I'll stop now.  I love escorting, dearly.  I want all of you to be safe!

I had no idea those billboards were out there!  That is frightening!

There was a time when I didn't screen and have since regarded screening as my best and only option.  

Thanks for the heads up and the wise advice to all!

We all have too much to loss here.  Please be careful and vigilant with the screening process, both men and ladies.  This could become a domino affect, one bust could take out others (remember the Arizona agency) name all over the place.

Ladies please take precautions with our (gentleman's) information.  If you don't need it get rid of it.

It is time that we get smarter about what we are doing.

...the local immigrant, glue-sniffing, paint huffing, crack smoking, and meth head population should be shaking in their boots.

I wouldn't get so high and mighty. Just because they've gone after "low lifes" doesn't mean they can't come after higher buck "providers" and hobbyist.
