Actually, he is very real. A close friend of mine just hired him.  He drove up to Laguna Beach to meet my friend.

My friend will definitely be hiring him again and soon.  I do not want to post a review but just say my friend had a great time.

Wow! He's pretty HOT! Very sexy. 

Those Twitter pictures are great🏆

From his Rentmen ad, there is a link to his Twitter account with more pictures and videos.  Interesting young man.

He has an Onlyfans page.  If they stop hosting X-rated pages, Shawn may become more available to make up for the lost income.

Isn't he a young guy? How many young people save money, no matter the profession?

I know a number of escorts who were very goal focused.  I helped a few with investments so I know how much they saved.

One escort managed to save over a million dollars BUT he worked his butt off doing it.  He was a Gaiety “dancer” back in the day so seeing 5 or 6 guys a day was not unusual for him.😱. Being paid in cash was helpful, too.

Hard work and being focused on saving money can be done.  Others I know ended up with nothing due to their spending habits.

It really comes down to the individual person.  You are right that the profession does not make a difference.

Any clubs or bars lucky enough to have a provider hanging around in LA? I know rounds and numbers are both long gone,  but hopeful nonetheless.

The Nelson-Atkins in Kansas City has a fine Chinese collection, already mentioned.  But they are much more.  It is a large museum.  Their free audio guide was one of the best I have ever encountered.  Excellent 19th century American works, and of course new wing with 20th century art and outdoor sculpture.  Enjoy lunch in the beautiful Renaissance courtyard, which they imported in toto, while listening to a live concert of guitar music.

 

 

 

 

 

While lunch in the courtyard of the Nelson-Atkins is a great experience, the courtyard was not imported in toto from Europe.  It was built with the building.  It was built to look old.  The center fountain is Roman.  The food is excellent.  Highly recommend.

Originally open air, the Hall family (Hallmark Cards) paid for the enclosure.  The outside sculpture garden is worth the walk: many Henry Moore pieces given by the Halls and I believe the largest grouping of his works outside of Britain.  Also, the Halls donated one of the largest and most comprehensive photography collections in the country and it has rotating displays.

Another major collection is of English slipware and pottery: the Burnap Collection.

I imagine the bowling alley didn't have the high ceilings the Frick is noted for but some museums have used low ceilings space for more intimate works of art that need to be viewed up close. The ceiling actually enhances the intimacy of the experience.

In 1920 to 1924, the library was housed in the bowling alley:https://www.frick.org/research/library/history

Over the years, I’ve hired many escorts who were escorting for temporary reasons like university tuition or for a down payment to buy a house.  These men would never want an online video to come back to haunt them in the future.

Very Happy Birthday

..for many years we lived at 206 W 23rd St...Top Loft..we had 3000 Sq ft a 5 floor walk up...one street across from Chelsea Hotel...great history...I could ride my bike inside we had such room...the rent was $250.00 month with utilities...

Good luck with your business..

And Nixon was in the White House???.

I am old enough to remember that era as well. My company had an office on 23rd near 6th Ave. Use to stay at the Statler Hilton at 34th across from Penn Station and walk down to the office.

Thank you?

I personally know at least one escort with an Ivy League degree. Some of these guys come out of school with crippling levels of debt and not everyone from these schools winds up making great money in their day job.

Yes, going to an Ivy League school is no bar to being an escort. Had a few. Sometimes it is not just the money but the excitement and the pleasure of being admired and complimented.

You wouldn't believe how many 'uncles' I've visited on the UWS.

Edmund White tells the story of two older gay men meeting at a social event. One of the men was accompanied by a younger man who he introduced as his nephew. The other older gay man replied: “I already know him. I was his ‘uncle’ last week.”?

I have just seen this topic. I still don't want to believe it...

 

It was 2009, San Francisco, and my first ever review was published on Daddysreviews by a long-standing member here. I had no idea what this site was so I went to check it out and shortly after my cell phone rang. A gentleman introduced himself as "Daddy" and told me that my review got published on his website. He asked me a few non-intrusive questions that were geared towards finding out whether the money I make through this means is being invested for my future. Again, and I must emphasize this, he did that in the most non-intrusive way as one possibly could have. I felt that he just genuinely wanted to ensure that I am on the right path to creating financial independence for myself in the long run. We covered a few other aspects of the industry and he offered me a helping hand in case I ever needed a piece of advice.

 

Soon after my first published review came the second, third --- 20th, and 30th, and my business has exploded and I was full of quality inquiries. Surely, providing a great service doesn't hurt but without the ability for people to research their next "date" on a platform like his, how would anyone know about my abilities?

 

But business (while obviously in our lives is key) was truly NOT what Daddy was all about. He was in it to help people. Genuinely.

 

I had the pleasure to meet him on numerous occasions at a variety of restaurants and many times at his apartment in Las Vegas. We even met during the pandemic (the chair was waiting for me at the entrance to sit on) while he distanced himself from me by being in front of his computer on the other side of the apartment and we were both wearing masks. The "HOW" never really mattered, but every meeting with him was always highly insightful and entertaining.... and very genuine. Many of you probably didn't get the chance to truly know who was behind this nickname/website and I am very grateful that I had the pleasure of conducting more than just superficial chit-chats with him.

 

For those of you who don't know, he was a computer whiz and had incredible talents at forensics and used to be retained as a forensic expert in multi-billion dollar lawsuit cases back in the day. This speaks volumes of the in-depth knowledge he had about certain fields in computers.

 

Talking about talent, he used to be an escort himself (waaaaaaaaaaay) back in the day. He wasn't always overweight and was rather hot. He told me so many funny stories about providing services in LA/Beverly Hills to some of the Hollywood elites. They were extremely entertaining stories.

 

He never cared about the money. He went as far as to flat-out decline highly lucrative promotional/marketing/advertising offers if he disagreed with how the company conducted its business in the gay world, whether we are talking about advertising practices, treatment of others, or the mission the company stood for. He was a principles guy, yet - needless to say - non-judgmental.

 

Every time we talked - without an exception - he had his "routine" questions:

- Are you happy?

- Do you put a certain percentage of your money aside and invest it?

- Do you take time out to have fun and enjoy life too?

 

This should tell you about the type of person Bill was.

 

(With names redacted), he showed me all kinds of escort inquiries where the guys offered him free sessions in exchange for promotion/bad review removal/self-review postings. He NEVER abused his position and always maintained his integrity.

 

He was a big fan of Latin guys with muscles and cute butts. Who can blame him, right?! Yet... never ran out of compliments for me when we met.

 

We talked about a few side projects of his too. Some of you may not know, but a few years back he was running a website that was teaching the transgender community about proper accessorizing / makeup / wigs and how to start out. He was also running it on his own dime and received no compensation for it.

 

On my last in-person visit during COVID, we actually started discussing either a joint business venture or a certain promotional opportunity about a website that would have served as an extension of DaddysReviews. We have never finalized the details and sadly, that will not happen anymore. It would have been great to work with him I am sure.

 

I just want you gentlemen to understand how this person sacrificed most of his life to help our community. He never asked for anything in return and I know exactly how much of his life he sacrificed for others. He changed my life, and probably many of your lives I am certain or the very bottom line, his work made your life a little easier in this crazy world.

 

I hope that he is in a good place now, his contributions, his helping hand, his guidance, and the amount of care and love he put out for all of us will be remembered (at least by me) for a LIFETIME.

 

When @Cooper reached out to me, I was shocked to hear that I was probably the only person who knew his address. He was so loving, welcoming and open that I thought he kept company often times at his home. I also would like to take this opportunity to thank Cooper for taking immediate actions and for keeping everyone posted. I am so truly sorry it ended this way. :-(

 

THANK YOU BILL/DADDY/GUY FAWKES WITH ALL MY HEART! ❤

I have just read the sad news. This is one of the most beautiful eulogies I have read. Thank you for pointing out not only what he did to help others but also how he did so with integrity; that is a rare trait today. Rare is the man who can not be “bought” or cut corners but as you remind us, Guy Fawkes was one such person.

Not much can be added to the many beautiful posts of remembrance. In these pandemic days, the words “essential worker” have been bandied about. That only partly describes Guy Fawkes. His work was not only essential to maintaining this site electronically but also in creating a community where people were able to connect and make friends. As many stated, his work helped many on their life’s journey.

While everyone has the chance to touch the lives of others, Guy Fawkes spent the extra energy to actually do that. What a wonderful man to leave such a beautiful legacy.

Thank you Guy Fawkes for a life well spent.?

Thank you Cooper for all you have done.

Walmart did it in brick-and-mortar style before Amazon. I like to bring this up when people point to all of the negative aspects of Amazon because I don't know that it's any different having a conservative family controlling so much of the retail sphere and then using their muscle to control suppliers and force competitors out of business.

And Sears before Walmart.

I attended many baseball games at the Vet I remember when the announcer told the audience Grace Kelly had died in Monaco, a shock.

Historical point completely off thread topic:

I recall seeing Grace Kelly’s brother John on Penn’s campus back in the ‘60’s. He was involved with the Penn crew team. He drove a sports car with Monaco license plates which was impressive.

Years later, John gained fame for an affair with a transgender woman?:

My worst fear is.....these boring people aren’t going to go away.

Yes, instead let’s hear more about the Kardashians, America’s royalty????.

I saw that too @bigjoey. My only quibble is your use of “may have stretched”…but maybe you’re being kind to Delusional Narcissistic Meghan.

 

When DNM complained to Oprah about this, I did wonder just how much joy and delight she got from

- waiting at check-in,

- being inline to clear Security (even if it was the First Class line)

- showing her passport at Border Control before

- waiting for her luggage to appear on the carousel

 

Silly Me then realised she had just swept from the aircraft to the limo, while her staff dealt with these commonplace formalities.

 

I also recall the staggering cost to UK taxpayers of her ‘baby shower’ in NYC (when UK Police Protection Squad officers had to accompany her, along with armed protection from the State Department).

You got me?. I was trying to be kind.?
