I don't post or review much but do read and hobby on a regular basis.  I think I have observed the following:

1.  Economy is in the toilet-- no worse it has been flushed and is in the septic tank.
2.  Nobody has much discretionary cash.  And "hobbying" has probably slowed--my has.
3.  Providers are hurting and you see them traveling to new markets.  Jade: back to Allentown and to AC.  Julie to Allentown for the first time.
4.  Reviews have shifted STRONGLY to CL and CV providers at reduced rates.
5.  More visiting providers from Atlanta, Tampa, Miami.

My thoughts-- support our local ladies- the Jades, Julies, Marlena, Alexandras, Lucy (yea, she is English but living here, etc.  They are hurting too and the $$$ we spend will stay in PA.  We don't need to send our $$ to another state!  Wait a couple more days and save to see a ligitimate provider and not a CL lister.  You will have better service, a better time, and  (LOL) will be hornier and appreciate more.

Just my thoughts

I agree!  Buy Local as Sloane used to say!  And yes don't forget Sloane and Natasha!!  they are hot!  Plus we all work together and are great friends!

I'm not a local, but I couldn't agree with you more. Very nicely stated.

That was very well said,The ladies are tryin, offering specials.

It's much appreciated!  I have always been partial to always purchasing local.  Local farmers, markets, etc.

BUY LOCAL!

if they want it local they will lower there rates and run specials  like every other business that needs to increase there revenue . lucy 2 hr 1000k  who is she kidding ?  the ladies can charge whatever they want  but sometimes i think they forget what they made before they decided to get into this business .

OK!  There are a few ladies that have reduced their rates..  I am not affected by the current situation since I am mainly low volume due to my career and chose to see only a select few.

The ladies who have reduced their rates are within reason of what they are asking for.  Jade, Marlena, Macy, etc.  You have to understand that they do have expenses they have to pay for, nice hotels, prophylactics, etc.  I think that they have been more than sympathetic to the hurting economy.

Also, I haven't been affected by the economy much because ladies like us have been around for a while, so guys are impressed by our consistency and choose to spend that extra bit of dough on us, as opposed to taking a chance on a new girl. What many hobbyists ignore is that even if we drop our rates a bit, it's still great money. We aren't hurting financially and don't live paycheck to paycheck.
