I was there a couple of days ago.  Even with timed entry,  it was uncomfortably crowded.  One of the glories of the "old" Frick was how you could have a whole room almost to yourself with unhurried time to linger.  I'm hopeful that things will get better once the novelty of the re-opening has passed.  Still one of my favorite museums, right up there with the Norton Simon in Pasadena.

I finally got to see it. The renovation is beautiful, but I thought the "new" second story was "meh". Getting to walk up the stairway has always been a dream, so that was cool. Overall, it’s was nice to see the old girl getting some tasteful work done. The crowds and lines were ridiculous. Either wait for the insanity to subside, or find a member to take you. 

So jealous. I’m out of town and missed the grand reopening. I guess I’ll just have to get in line with the unwashed masses when I get home. 
Don’t worry, it’s not my first (or likely last) time….grin

After being closed for renovation and $220 million, the Frick has turned the second floor which used to be private living quarters for the Fricks, then office space, is now new gallery space. Also a new cafe, a wonderful new performance space in the basement and a general sprucing up of what is still, in my opinion, the most beautiful museum in NYC. 
Happy to have a members preview today and they even served breakfast. 


 

I'm with @DznNYC and @Rod Hagen on this one, I don't charge extra for couples. My fee is for my time, whether it's one, two, or more guys.
In fairness, navigating a couple takes some special attention, as you don't want one to feel left out. But that's also part of the fun, making sure everyone is having a good time.

I never charged more.  I knew many others who didn't as well.  Also, it is absolutely understandable to charge more.

Watched that the other day.  Looks amazing.  It is very pricey.  Nevertheless, I might see it in the fall, it's been a long time since I visited Vegas.

Good for you!  Look forward to reading it.  Best advice I can give, as someone who loves to read and was an escort for over 20 years, is read the other escort Memoirs and Escort Fictions first so you can distinguish your work  There are a lot of them.  Congratulations.  Let us know when it's up.  I'm on my way out the door, but you can look for threads here, escort book, escort memoir, etc.
Assuming the Position.  Both Aaron Lawrence books, Boy Culture (movie is better, but book good too), most famously City of Night, plenty of escorts on this board past and present have memoirs but I'm blanking on the names, you can find them easily.  Have fun!
 
 
 
 

I've read a few escort memoirs and always find them fascinating. I can't wait to read yours. 

Gays usually call it a three-way, whereas straights call it a threesome. 😛

Good escorts / masseurs generally like giving. They are pleasers. If the client is happy then so are they.  The risk is they end up doing things they may regret or that they are not comfortable with doing just to please their client. 
Guys that are just foucused on their own satisfaction wouldn’t last long as a  provider. 
 

Hmmmm...That particular carve out just doesn't appear in any of the statements from Wikipedia, National Harm Reduction Coalition, American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International USA, The Sex Workers Project, Human Rights Campaign, and the National Network Of Sex Workers on what a "proper" sex worker is.
In fact with all their statements on risk reduction, empowerment, self-determination, codification of tights, and unionization, it seems that all these organizations favor the idea that "proper" sex workers have more power and control in the choices they make concerning what they will and will not do and with who they do them.
I am sorry that all of our feelings get hurt when we get rejected. But rather than blaming the other person, could we possibly flip the explanation to recognize ta least some culpability ourseves? Maybe we are not always "proper" mature adults, that we are not as resilient as we might be as a "proper" adult, that we need to accept that we can't control so many, many things in our everyday lives but our lack of control is not simply because someone else is doing something wrong.

Who?

I actually really get off on serving bigger men and older men.  
Very early in my escort life, I had a client in his 80’s.  I was admittedly a little unsure beforehand of how I’d react.  I’d always gotten off on age difference, playing with older guys, but this was extreme even for me.  Come to find out, this guy was one of my hottest experiences.  The gravitas he brought, and the breadth of life experience, made for a really intense sex appeal.  I still actively hope I maintain his level of sex appeal when I’m his age.   Ever since, I’ve actively pursued every opportunity I could to play with senior seniors.  
As for the bear aspect?   That wasn’t such a discovery.  I’ve ALWAYS been into big guys.  All the more to explore.  More places to bury your face.  😈 
I really believe you shouldn’t have any problem finding providers who are genuinely into daddy bears and grandpa bears. 
And please holler if you’re ever in NYC!  👋🏻 😏 

That’s because you’re poor.

I only saw movie credits on Helix going back to 2018 on the link you provided. Am I missing something?

I was blown away by this series: A really terrific screen play with amazing acting and directing. 

I saw it last night, going in with high expectations 90% based on Krypto the superdog being in the movie.  I was a little bit disappointed. Krypto did not disappoint, my friends were all very impressed with Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. I think the 1978 Christopher Reeve is still the best.  Final post-credits scene with Supergirl was pretty funny. 
I have watched with much amusement over the past few months as the fans of the Zack Snyder / Henry Cavill Superman absolutely lose their minds criticizing this movie 🤓

Fuck the antiques and the jewelry….go for the art!
His has one of the world’s best collections of post-war American art.
It’s valued somewhere in the $2 billion range. 
David Geffen: the most valuable art accumulation in sole ownership
WWW.ARTMAJEUR.COM David Lawrence Geffen, born on February 21, 1943, is a prominent figure in the American business landscape. He is widely recognized as a business...  

This guy on TikTok has offers LOTS of very specific & on-point advice.
Be sure to click the link in his profile.

As a 74 year-old widower, currently dating a 34 year-old, I find this thread to be interesting, with some comments amusing, and some cruelly judgemental ... like this one. Not sure why you view Geffen's decision as "stupid and mentally fucked up." Specifically, I most definitely wonder why you wonder why an 80-year-old would want or need the close emotional/personal connection of marriage. I had been very active on this forum, and in this hobby, in the years since my husband of 30+ years died ... and now cruise the site out of interest and, perhaps, nostalgia, because I haven't hired since I entered this new relationship. I am the kind of person who deeply and fundamentally enjoys close emotional connection (as well as satisfying sex). After becoming overly (and damned foolishly) entangled with a handsome, hot, charming provider, and then extricating myself from that connection, I doubted I would ever find the kind of connection I wanted.  And then -- precisely because I had stopped actively "looking" -- it happened. We met in a professional setting, and have been dating since. I am deeply in love. He says the same and, unless he is worthy of every stage/screen acting award on the planet, is genuinely in love with me.
While I make no judgements (AT ALL) about someone who would get emotionally (and legally) involved with someone described as a "porn star and go-go-boy" the age difference in and of itself shouldn't be an issue ... assuming that both participants are both honest and enter into the relationship with their eyes open. Is my admittedly admirable financial situation (though not even remotely close to billionaire status!!!) a mutually-acknowledged part of the equation? Of course!! I would be foolish indeed (even blind, perhaps) if I did not acknowledge that and take it into consideration. Such things are always part of any relationship -- gay, straight, same-age or May-November -- to a greater or lesser degree. I always earned substantially more than my husband, and I therefore paid for many things we enjoyed together, from real-estate to dining out and global travel.  If the extraordinarily intelligent and hard-working (and, yes, very handsome and sweet, and sexy) young professional I am involved with is willing to share a number of his prime years of life with me, I am more than willing to reciprocate with reasonable intellectual, emotional, and financial support ... including post-mortem asset-sharing, (with an appropriate pre-nup.) This isn't just a sexual fling, although the sex is wonderful.  (I prefer to refer to it as "making love" rather than just hot sex ... although it is hot, on both physical and emotional levels.) Having met in a professional setting, we soon discovered that we have similar interests in international culture, travel, food, and a wide range of intellectual pursuits.
Do I enjoy close and rewarding emotional connections with a reasonable number of friends and family member? Thankfully, yes. Do I have enough self-esteem to be self-sufficient emotionally if I choose to be? Also, thankfully, yes. Do I have some nagging doubts about the $$ issue? Of course I do! I don't consider myself to be blind, naïve, or foolish.  Did I have various doubts about my marriage that lasted for more than three decades until death parted us? You bet! And I've learned that one can either hold out for perfection (whatever that might be) or one can barricade oneself by rejecting every potential relationship with any inequities, or one can, with due diligence and careful thought, allow oneself to enjoy the delights of romantic and physical love -- rather than allowing something like age-difference and society's reaction to that get in the way. With full acknowledgement of the risk it entails, I have chosen the latter. Time will tell whether the decision to engage in this way will play out the way I hope it will.
In the meantime, I am thrilled for the chance to enjoy the delights of love again ... while making absolutely NO judgments whatsoever about people who prefer a series of blazingly hot sexual trysts, whether those involve financial transactions or not. Been there too, and enjoyed it immensely!

That was an awful awful awful dreadful shit song.   Please don't ever do that again.  Goddam, my earholes.

I'm sure EVERY time she tells someone who her mom was, they look at her chest.
