  1. I believe the answer is clear already. Let's move forward
  2. I agree about Flagship getting crowded. They need limit it to ck/explats and paid premium. It's why I love what AC is doing with their Signature Suite product at YYZ: Only paid J to access. No mileage awards, upgrades or status. It's one of the best lounges- if not the best lounge- in North America.

  4. If you fly enough, you realize how little flight crews see pax actually dressed decently. They appreciate it. This isn't rocket science. It's just human nature. You get what you give.

    I'm sorry... I can't make sense of a conversation when people speak only in platitudes. Like the gentleman we are, we shall agree to disagree

    Don't make assumptions about what I think: I said recovering addicts and then I mentioned current active users. Two separate things. I do know better than that, which is why I never said or implied all drug users are addicts. -Back on topic- The OP stated he wasn't keen on his escorts coming to appointments high as kites, especially when they can't perform, much less communicate. I'd say he's spot on.

    I don't condone stigmatizing recovering addicts, but commenting negatively on those not wanting to hire those still actively using? Oy. This over-political correct bullshit needs to stop.
  8. While Adler and I didn't always see eye-to-eye at one point, we've grown to like each other quite a bit since. He was a polarizing personality, but a needed one. Scott is whip-smart and I really admire that he stands his ground on things.

    I'm also equally as amazed at escorts who's copy says 'you can PNP while we're together, but I don't.' Yikes.
  10. Her Dressed To Kill tour was cancelled totally due to a 'mystery illness' and her attendance record for the Classic Cher show in Vegas has been a little bumpy. She spent a few weeks early this year with a lingering sickness and cancelled many shows. Don't get me wrong: She's 73. I cut her a lot of slack. I also know that a Broadway producer wouldn't be foolish enough to ask her to do a traditional 8x a week show. She'd likely get the Bette Midler Dolly deal, go 5-6x a week and also get a nice cut of the merch. Even in her 70s, I'd still like to see her tackle Mame.
  11. I've slacked on manicures this summer. Plus, lifting weights on regular basis ruins them. Now pedicures, that's another story. I get them weekly, no exceptions. Smooth, clean, handsome feet are important to me.
  12. I was just joking with you on the UA comment You say 'AA lounge,' but I'm not talking about the Admirals Club. I'm talking about Flagship First Dining. This AA product meets or exceeds what Polaris is doing and has rolled out faster than UA's product. The new location at DFW is well-designed and very quiet. Based on where profits are, United will keep Polaris around for awhile. Their biz class passengers talk it up, a lot (positively). That said, to compare Polaris's food to the finest restaurants out there is a pretty big statement. I've eaten at Polaris in Houston a number of times and while great for a light meal before a long flight, it's honestly just another Sysco-supplied eatery. American has some unique additional challenges in that they're the only US carrier who still runs a three-class cabin (four, if you could premium eco). Their Flagship product has gone through some changes, but what they have in place now is solid. I especially like the Casper bedding on the long-hauls. Not a fan of them switching from Bose to B&O for headsets, but if you're flying a lot, you've already got a pair of noise-cancelling that you like most. No links, not yet. Delta One Suites are finally being standardized and installed systemwide on widebodies and I've heard from a GA friend that they're going to test out a premium lounge concept at ATL in late 2020. They will be late to the party, but it'll be a needed thing consider how old many of DL's lounge spaces look. They're a victim of their own success and what started as a great concept has now turned into a constant zoo. Even the locations that have expanded feel packed, loud, messy. I don't think Amex was expecting this response and now they can't keep up with demand. In terms of their clientele, it's the airport lounge that I've seen the most misbehaved, selfish, rude and entitled people. Unless it's the only lounge available, I don't usually go into them.
  13. This was from a year and a half ago, so it's possible they've changed it up since. Dress code: No bare feet, no flip-flops, no ripped clothing, no obscene writing on t-shirts. It's a step forward from what US-based lounges have, which is next to nothing. I'm tired of seeing people look (and act) like total slobs when they fly. My real dream is seeing the airlines nut up about 'emotional support animals'
  14. Qantas's gin bar at LHR makes me a happier person, as does their dress code in their lounges. I'm glad to see they're pushing for a larger presence in the States.
  15. I did wonder for a second if his post was copy written by the UA marketing department
  16. Tveit played angsty teen very well. He had the floppy hair, the cute face and a reliable tenor wail. Playing 'grown men' kind of roles has never been his strong suit.
  17. If Cher can't reliably make it through her Vegas residency, Broadway is not in her future.
  18. United has Polaris American has Flagship Lounges Delta is toying with a premium-class lounge-within-a-lounge concept as well US-based airlines are finally getting smart and learning from foreign carriers: Treat your bread & butter better. As for Polaris lasting, they continue to build them in other airports and their J/F-class revenues are up. They'll be around awhile.
  19. @HornyRetiree posted a super hot story in the Deli the other day which reminded me that I needed to update myself. You keep bringing the heat HR! 15MinutesMore.com
  20. But it's really not. You remain anonymous, no one was the wiser and this was just a blip on life's radar. Let it be a lesson to learn to move on quickly to the next gent who will treat you the way you want to be treated. Finding the right escort can be a sticky wicket: I'm not saying you need to subtract emotion from the process, but in an unregulated industry like this one, there's a fair amount of rude behavior (on both sides). You've got to let the crap roll off your back and move forward. I wish you better experiences
  21. They cast a thick woman who supposedly has consumption. Strike one. They cast a male lead who's got the pipes, but the chemistry of mixing baking soda and water together. Strike two. I was all for The Duke throughout the whole show. He was well-sung, wasn't nearly as terrible as his film counterpart and was by-far the best looking lead on the stage. He also had palpable sexual chemistry with Satine. It's tough to root against that. Strike three. The dancing is fantastic and you can see every single dollar on that stage. I just think this is a show that's better suited to Vegas. I say pump up the production budget another $20 million, go shamelessly over-the-top and put it into the Venetian's showroom where Phantom used to be. [MEDIA=giphy]3og0IA4UgDDyU80VaM[/MEDIA]
  22. Umm, okay. Clearly I hit a nerve. You don't have to get so serious about it and call guys 'queen' That's just homosexual histronics.
