I've seen a lot of really bad ones, with the terrible detraction of a blurred, pixilated or blocked out face.
But what about the really good ones? I'm not sure which pics I might submit. but I'll come up with some if anyone responds to this note.
What are the best Companion pics on the Web?
Ladies, feel free to submit your own, from your site, if they're that good.
Here is my nomination...

If my dick was that small I wouldn't be sending out any pictures of it.
Oh I know...guess he expects a "pity fuck" or something. Didn't you think he looked a lot like Bruce Willis? Only with a smaller cock.

If not, he needs to be there since he likes to show it off so much.
Don't you just love it when you open an e-mail only to be startled by a giant photo of a veiny man-appendage? NOT.
The email that accompanied this photos read:
Hi,
I am going to be in your area next month and I wanted to know your rates and availability. I have enclosed a photo so you can see what I look like.

This is my favorite. How can I forget (or let you forget) the young lass who maced me in my eyes on the way out of her door as she screamed, "I'm a woman like everyone else" (irony in that she was violently attacking me while saying that). Again, I never touched her (that was the whole point!)
Riker, you can be harsh, and we know who you are (owner), but if you have successfully implemented term 'companion', I praise you, because it's much better. Hobbyist might remain, because it is indeed a hobby, I guess. But I'm thinking of alternatives.
The pictures are indeed good. Even the blur effect is done with some class, so she doesn't look like a mutated troll. Don't threaten me.
I always wonder how rumors get started. This one is one I would like to know about. I can assure you that Riker is just a volunteer at TER and out SF moderator. He has no ownership whatsoever in TER. (no to mention I live in LA, the company is LA Based, and he lives in SF)

Mostly they're SF pics, because that's what I'm familiar with:

I like the one I posted because the lighting is great, it's obviously not touched up, except for the face, which is nicely obstructed, and doesn't make you look like a freak. The location is attractive and frames you nicely. There's a soft lavender feel that matches your outfit to your surroundings.
The new pic you posted is nice too, except it didn't come through in the message, because of that damn geocities server.
This is it:

You have to login to geocities before you can see the picture, but if you cut and paste it into your browser, it should come up, past the login.

I gotta agree, Nicole can wear the HELL out of a cocktail dress...which reminded me of something...
Going back to strip clubs for a moment...when I used to hit them fairly regularly when I was travel on business for other people (with THEIR money...), I would always catch girls off guard with a special request.
In more upscale clubs that didn't have nudity (and few in the United States that serve liquor do) were to girl would where sexy evening gowns, I'd ask a woman who filled her dress nicely, with ample curves in all the right places, to dance with her dress ON.
The reactions I would get would vary...some girls would think I was joking, and I'd have to explain that I wasn't (once, even WHEN I explained I was serious, the girl kept laugh and peeling off her clothes, which of course annoyed me, until my buddy put his hand on her arm and said "no, really, he means it", to which she could only reply "oh). Some girls would ask if I was "real religious", others would ask if I was married (early on in my strip clubbing days I was, but that had nothing to do with it).
My reasons were simple, yet perhaps unique to me...I thought a shapely, attractive woman was MORE sexy with her clothes on than off, so if I wasn't going to get a true nude lap dance (most bars in the US also don't do true laps anymore, let alone nude), then she might as well do her "table dance" clothed. To me, it also freed her up to be as "sexy" as possible with her hands, her gaze, her mannerisms, knowing their was a "safety barrier" between us. Frankly, it also FORCED her to be more creative in that regard if she wanted to get another dance, because she couldn't just stick her tits in my face.
In my opinion, this tact often did yield exactly the result intended, with many women APPRECAITING the chance to keep their clothes on and rewarding me with very sexy, sensuous dances.
In paid off biggest however with "Karen", one of the two dancers I would over time date. When I asked Karen to dance for me with her dress on the first time, she gave me an inquisitive look, and asked a sincere "Why?" that I could tell was of the "explain to me what is going on inside that head of yours" variety, versus the usually "huh? I thought guys liked nekkid gurls" type.
So...I explained to her that while I could see that she was a very, very attractive woman, with exquisite curves, the fact that I couldn't yet see, but could tell they were there, was more erotic to me than a first hand show and tell could ever be...
She gave me an AMAZING dance (several over time in fact), spent the evening talking to me and my friends, and after a few more visits to that bar to see her, I got to see those curves up close and personal as often as our respective schedules would allow.... :^)
So...finally...my question...guys...do you ever feel like that? That a woman is sexier with her clothes ON than off? And no, I don't mean the type of woman whose dress sort of "holds her together"...I mean a woman who looks great naked...but somehow "sexier" dressed?
BTW...Riker...Julianna...ohmygawd...I worship you just becasue you have shared a bed with that woman...
I'm looking strictly at the artistic quality of the pics. The textures, the action of the composition, the lighting, the outfit: and how it all works together.
I'd like to do a list of the worst companion pictures I've seen, but I don't think that's fair.
By the way, there are lots I've left out - the list could get very long.
The point is I appreciate ladies who present themselves well in their photos.
There's one more I want to add:
http://www.performanceperfe.com/NewGallery1/images/JeanHatoutdoor.jpg
It's not an expensive pic, she's fully clothed - as you say, it's so sexy to see a woman dressed.
But this pic has a lot of character and is very inviting. I've never visited her either.

I'm just an original women...........when are you coming to see if I am real or not.
-- Modified on 8/20/2002 1:48:07 AM
I agree 100%. Most women look sexier clothed. Your imagination is a terrible thing to waste. LOL
riker, i like your taste in minx.
the more photos of lauren the better. however, my favorite is the extra large image of her cleavage in a bustier. killer!
what happened to julianna marie, by the way? her eros page and ad on centerfolds has been taken down.
but she's limiting her clientel, and playing in ponds beyond.
Hey - it's not even close!!!

thank God, this time it really ain't me! Now on the other hand, I am considering Laci for my boy yorkie, Jpeg. He is a really BIG dog. Just ask him ;->

and you're front as well, I would guess. Excellent submission of a great companion photo. I also like the ambiance girl angle of that Web site.
It's good to hear from you. Are you done with your traveling for a while? Or are you still out there in the wild blue yonder?

Hi Rike!!!!
It is nice to have been missed!!!
After a brief interregenum I'm spending two weeks "researching" the Toronto scene. I will probably be heading up there after my mother's 97th birthday party on the 11th. Only 1 night in S.F. with, as you know, My Lady Vivian. Korea would have been problematic, as you also know, and Germany's FKK clubs do not lend themselves to reviews in the format of TER.
Expect a couple of reviews from North of the border.
I caught up on all of your posts and, as always, really enjoyed them.
Congratulations to her. (give her my love) Enjoy your time here in SF.

All the pics on Hunks by Hoss are OUGLSIZED
... at www.Ahvani.com. She just updated, so even better. But older pics if still up were nothing to sneeze at. I admit to being biased -- she's my idea of the ideal escort, and her pics carry that feeling right through the screen.
I think your effort to swap "companion" for "provider" is misguided, at best. Companion is a term long co-opted by the gay community, as in obituaries where the significant other is referred to as a "long-time companion". Indeed, there was an AIDS movie a few years ago entitled Long-Time Companion.
I'll probably get slammed giving my imput since I am a female im this biz ... and the guys will call the ladies whatever they wish, but when I hear the word companion (and yes, I know some ladies call themselves that), I think of two things.
1) Someone who keeps company as an aid to someone elderly and infirm
2)A foreign invader (Gene Roddenberry's Earth Final Conflict)
Gee, Good Sport. I think those are good points. Why would you think you would be slammed?
Usually there are reasons for the common-usage of words, historical or otherwise. An individual attempting to invent new words, or change the meaning of existing words, is sort of like commanding the Mississippi to change its course. You can make the attempt, just don't be surprised if the river doesn't follow your directions.
But for me the word "Provider" brings up the same kinds of associations. Health care provider, is a common term. Maybe I'll just stick with ladies, women and girls. Who would be bothered by that?
see how it fit, and find out what kind of reaction it got. I'm not trying to change the world, I'm just playing with words.
I didn't make the word up, I just used it.
Thanks for your input, and sharing your reaction.
