Oh dear god... They're letting Madonna out of her gilded cage to perform.

Bingo. Now others are chiming in and it's becoming more personal. This thread should never have been created.

Ah, great song... And still a piano bar staple Heard one of the singers at Don't Tell Mama Vegas sing it a couple of weeks ago.

Sidetracking a bit... Marin's talent was incredible with a personality and genuine warmth to match. I felt lucky to have spent time with her on several occasions: She and Jason would come to Key West frequently, to help do fundraisers for local theaters. Having heard her in the OBC of Ragtime, it was the first time I had heard her sing Back To Before in a small room with only a piano. It was truly magical. That voice was a damned force of nature. Her vowel placement was beautiful.

You handled this well. What you posted didn't come across as a personal dig, but simply as contrary to what others said. No harm in that. If there's one thing I've learned in escorting, it's that no matter how hard you try, perfection is impossible and at some point you're going to let someone down. A massive string of glowing reviews is as much a negative as it is a positive. The best of us try not to show we're having off days, but it happens.

I just may... And I might even be sitting near you

Just change pizza to semen I'd buy that product.

Risk is a part of having sex. Hopefully both parties are aware of the worst case scenario and what options there are in that event happening.

This is exactly what I think of when I see thick chains (with or without padlocks). Not having anything to do with BDSM (to me), I just see it as a hot, masculine fashion choice. If a guy has the body to pair with the chain, it's something that's always been a turn on for me. I have a few, some with padlocks, some just thick chain. There's something about the weight of feeling it around your neck that really makes my dick hard. Can't quite explain why.

I remember seeing this as a kid and enjoying it. I wasn't a huge fan of ballet at that point and the physical production was just flashy enough to keep me engaged. It helped me begin to really enjoy the medium. That said, I feel like this production is now in the same category as Julie Taymor's The Magic Flute: At one point groundbreaking, but now trotted out as an 'old favorite' (that clearly sells) when they don't really know what else to do. Unless this Swan is vastly different from the various Bourne versions that have been floating around since 1995, I don't know if I'd race to go see it. Just my opinionated opinion

I knew the red-letter day would come when someone would give Loudon her own thread here. Here's a favorite of mine. This is how to sell a song.

Your hoop skirt is showing. I'm hoping to catch a passing glance of a bare ankle. I'm getting the vapors.

Halo fractional laser and BBL (IPL on steroids) tend to do you well on a semi-annual basis if you're willing to keep up with daily SPF and a topical skincare regime. Fat atrophy? No. Not in hands of a skilled laser tech. Do your research and make sure they have solid RealSelf reviews. If you're going to get major resurfacing done (CO2), I'd recommend going for PRP to help speed up healing. It's an added cost, but the benefits are huge and your skin will show it.

I mean, that's just smart business. I wouldn't blame them if that were the case.

Rentboy Statute of Limitations... 6 months. He's way overdue. Survey says: NO BUENO.

BAM!

If you're going to play in a big boy world, act like an adult. I don't buy 'chickening out' for a second. Be straight-forward. Be honest. If you can't do it, just say so. Don't be a fucking schmuck. We're dealing with people here. People have emotions and concerns. It's not rocket science.

For a community that so desperately wants equality, we inner-segregate to a point of absurdity. My current home city (Dallas) is far from ideal if you're wanting a welcoming, connected gay community. I find that going out 'in the scene' is something I do very rarely. I had initially tried to get involved with the fundraising groups (HRC, Black Tie, DIFFA), but they too ended up being just as inclusive and judgmental as the bar scene... No bueno. I have a group of friends here who serve me well. It makes Dallas tolerable.

If ya wanna be somebody, if ya wanna go somewhere... You better wake up and pay attention.

Thicker skin sir. That wasn't criticism. You'll know when I'm being critical. What I offered was the advice he actually needed to hear: Advice that cuts through confusion and will serve him well into multiple meets.

Millie will be sanitized and politically-corrected for the new generation, or so I hear. #snooze Mack and Mabel could be incredible. It's got a solid score.

This. Don't listen to the timetables of a dozen online guys you don't know: Think about your needs, communicate them and hopefully you've picked a guy who can take your cues and run with them.

Holy shit, some of these responses. Easy to be cavalier when you're faceless and hiding behind a keyboard, eh? First off, I'm sorry about what happened. It's shitty, but clearly you got through it. I just hope it wasn't a cash bar at the wedding. In the future, don't let this experience stop you from hiring, but use it as a litmus test. As was said earlier in the thread, people are people. The advantage you have in this niche is that you can choose to see highly-reviewed people that you can get a feel for before meeting. In reading between the lines, you can figure out if someone is a fuck-and-go kind of guy or someone who works well socially, sexually and for longer stretches of time.
