I have visited Prague twice, but spent more time in Munich, Berlin and Vienna. I disagree about the quality of music available in Prague. And Germany is not as American as you wrote.

Berlin has far more to offer in terms of museums, a world class orchestra, theaters than Prague. Germany and France are major Europe countries with world class authors, composers and politcal figures. I like Prague as much as you, a wonderful city. But, it cannot compare to Berlin. I am not all that impressed with Prague as a major porn city. I seldom select a city or county to visit based only on escorts.

Berlin is about ten times larger than Prague. It is Difficult to believe there is so little to offer now in the bars except thugs. What about blue collar German guys?

Why is Prague getting so much attention rather Berlin? Berlin is far more more interesting and sexual.

The last post in this thread was October 2018.

When I was in college in the early to mid-1960s, all male and all female colleges were still the norm for most private schools. There were fewer opportunities to meet women.

My comments could have been read as disagreeing with you. It says a lot about you, @marylander1940, that you were ok with it. Thanks!!

I have only bargained once. And it was with someone I knew and liked here. He quoted a much higher cost for an overnight than I had ever heard, or paid. I tried to change the location to where he lived - nothing seemed to work. I really wanted to see him. But eventually, I had to give up. Given that experience, I seldom take sides in escort-client discussions in a forum on the site.

@Mocha, this is a Forum to discuss various issues. I disagree with you about a deposit. That does not make us enemies!!!

A provider selects a very difficult and competitive occupation. I knows it is not easy from talking to a few providers over the years. Ninety-five percent of people I have hired have been wonderful, but there are occasional flacks too. Asking for a deposit is not the answer unless many providers have the exact same policy.

@Unicorn, I responded to another member about getting my Visa with the total total assistance of a tour company even though I went to St. Petersburg by myself. I was there during the White Nights.

If I can figure it out so can you. I asked a tour company to help, was not expensive, and I had the visa a few days later.

Kevin was raised by a white family. Second, we do not know enough about him to draw final conclusions. You may well be right, but we do not know for sure

It is relatively easy for Americans to obtain a visa, even for Russia.

I saw Elaine Stritch many times including as Lillian Helman in a play, and a brief revival of musical "Sail Away" on what would have been Noel Coward's 100 the birthday in 1999. She was wonderful on stage, less so off-stage.

,,, visit even minor gay destinations with their parents.

At this stage of her career, I can not imagine Barbra performing a musical live on TV. I remember talking to a performer who did six or seven musicals and plays live on TV in the 1950s, it is difficult getting to the different sets during the commercials even for someone in A+ physical shape.

I did not read the reviews for "Tootsie," and was surprised the musical was so funny. Michael's agent leaves after firing him as a client. And he returns quicky to find Dorothy there. He is thrilled because he loves her star performance on Broadway.....then. Santino Fontina is wonderful as Dorothy/Michael. He must be exhausted by the end (a long show).

I am seeing Tootsie today. Last night was supposed to be Burn This but I fell coming out of a restaurant. The theater did give me the backstage number, so I can check back tomorrow.

@marylander1940 covered it in his response. @Mocha, I greatly respect you, but escorting is not easy and requires a dozen or so skills. You have all the skills. But your examples seem routine, except your dumb client who did not even notice you while his ass was being played.

Kate was very I'll during her last yeards and lost much weight. She did appear during an Emmy Awards Show. She was in a wheelchair; Bob Hope helped her get on stage, and stayed with while she was honoured. Kate seemed to understand, but she never spoke. Sad.

Kate Smith on the ice singing "God Bless American" at a Philadelphia Flyer game.

Philadelphia Inquirer Flyers cover Kate Smith statue, dump ‘God Bless America’ over past racist songs by Rob Tornoe, Updated: April 19, 2019- 6:54 PM The Flyers are scrubbing their connections with Kate Smith, the late singer whose music is linked to the NHL team’s success for many fans, as the club looks into racist lyrics she sang. That includes covering a bronze statue of Smith that stands outside Xfinity Live! and removing her iconic recording of “God Bless America” from their Wells Fargo Center playlist. C’mon, Sixers, what’s the harm in playing ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ during halftime? | Jenice Armstrong “We have recently become aware that several songs performed by Kate Smith contain offensive lyrics that do not reflect our values as an organization,” the Flyers said in a statement. "As we continue to look into this serious matter, we are removing Kate Smith’s recording of 'God Bless America’ from our library and covering up the statue that stands outside of our arena.” Since 1969, the team had played Smith’s version of Irving Berlin’s "God Bless America” before must-win games, where it proved to be a good-luck charm. According to the Flyers, the team went 101-31-5 in games where Smith’s version of the song aired, including 3-1-0 when Smith sang the song live at the Spectrum beginning with the Flyers’ 1973 home opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Flyers erected the statue of Smith, who died in 1986 at age 79, outside the Spectrum in 1987. After the Spectrum was demolished in 2011, Smith’s statue was moved to the parking lot of Xfinity Live!

Kate had long been associated with the hockey team. She sang "God Bless America," the song most associated with her, at important Flyer games in the 1970s. She died in 1986. Thousands of Philadelphian signed a get well card to Smith when it was known she was seriously ill. Smith was surprised because she believed her performances we're not enough to deserve such a significant response. She had recorded songs like "That's Why Darkies we're Born" and "Pickaninny Heaven" in the 1930. The "Darkies" song was a satire from a Broadway show also recorded by black singer Paul Robson.
