Hearing this, the piano nerd in me wants to know if it's a Hamburg or a NY Steinway

In a perfect world, the musical Tina would feature the neglected adopted child of an abusive golden-age film star. It's The Secret Garden, soaked in gin and covered with a thick coating of Comet cleanser. Susan Stroman would love working the wire hanger angle. 'Bring Me The Axe' has a nice musical ring to it.

Damn you for making me feel young again DAMN YOU.

... And the jukebox musicals just keep coming.

I read the title of this thread too fast. Thought it said 'Sinatra in Chicago.'

The difference between a hustler and a good escort is that a hustler will take advantage of that emotional baggage every single time. Sure, while it's fine to tell yourself that this is 'just business,' it's a lot more than that for some guys. Escorts can and do enjoy their work, their clients, the sex, the conversation, the friendship, a bond. Only the truly jaded think that that's not possible. Is this how many of us make our living? Yes. Does this involve the exchange of money? Yes. Does that mean that's all we focus on? No.

If you haven't had a chance to see the Broadway company of Waitress, I'd say now is the best time to go. Bean is with the show until early May. https://www.broadway.com/videos/159266/exclusive-watch-shoshana-bean-belt-out-she-used-to-be-mine-from-waitress/?page=1#play

Cranston gives one of those performances you remember long after you leave the show. His ability to go from near-silent to full on breakdown in a matter of two monologues is really impressive. The design of Network is interesting, if not a little over-kinetic. I believe that was the point. I'm seeing it again at the end of the month before it closes. Hoping that Tony Goldwyn has settled into the role. Wasn't a fan of Titiana Maslany at all and based on her resume, she's more natural on film than on stage.

If you thought this version of OK was bad, just wait until you watch British producers try to make Six The Musical the next Hamilton. It's making a US premier in Chicago this summer. It looks like a total fucking shlockfest, but that in itself could be entertaining (as long as the prices aren't too insane). The previews of this show make Showgirls look like Chaucer:

These guys aren't really escorts. They're assholes.

I'd agree. ... And this is why communicating expectations before a meet and picking up on in-person social cues is important

If you're fortunate in this business, you're desirable for how you look AND for what you say. I highly suggest to cultivate and keep all things in-shape

Are we talking traditional or emotional baggage?

I'm all for strong women of a certain age who give zero fucks about what people think of them. As long as she's not just another parrot and can post entertaining/insightful/interesting things, I'm all in.

He's a type... Clearly, not yours, but someone's for sure. He's got chutzpah with that rate, I'll give him that.

Love food. Hate assholes who spend a third of the meal taking pictures of their plate. Just eat. Even worse is when they use flash in a dark/dim restaurant. These particular types of people should be euthanized.

In the most LuPone way possible... [MEDIA=twitter]1113109540629856258[/MEDIA]

This whole revival is a case of The Emperor's New Clothes. This should have stayed off-Broadway. At these new prices, it's a damned farce that audiences are showing up to this.

And then there's the rest of us...

I have my mom's Vitamix from the mid-70s. Works like a champ. With these blenders, you get exactly what you pay for. Impressive long-term quality.

Eggshell. The bride wore eggshell.

Yep. My feelings exactly. Daddy has made this as quick and easy as possible: While snail-mail is great, it takes time and there is the very real problem of mail being stolen or lost. It's easy and quick to do an electronic funds transfer from a computer or mobile phone if you're able.

RM is nothing more than a listing site. To consider their review side fully credible is asking a lot. Too many hoops for clients to jump through. Too many caveats.

Self-improvement is always a good thing, as is your candor about your situation. You can't cure yourself in weeks, but you can start to make positive changes that lead to long-term lifestyle differences. You don't need 'the right escort' in this case. What I'm hearing from you is that you need a more 'right' you.
