Assured Discretion

Doesn't that depend on how high you are?

Control, dude. It's always about control. I can mix and match with the best of them.

My mother (herself 100% Scottish) didn't think I was keeping house well enough myself so she hired the neighbor's gardener's wife (Mrs. Jimenez) to do it for me twice a month. After two months of that, I felt guilty, cut Mrs. Jimenez down to once per month and now I pay her myself.

 

She does dishes and laundry, so you can imagine how I nearly run out of clean dishes and undies by the time she comes around again First Wednesday ;-)

Another high-priced, high-class Los Angeles Escort chimes in ...

 

>>We can't even be bothered to park our own cars, clean our own

>>apartments, or bag our own groceries.

 

I ride my bicycle frequently; the only time I have had to valet park my car was twice, to two different Sunset Boulevard condominiums, the kind with marble floors and 180 degree views of the city, and six other times, all of which were to visit clients at hotel rooms where there was no other parking and thus no choice but to use the valet service. On three of those instance, the client was kind enough to pay for both the parking and the tip. In the other three instances, I paid for the parking and left a tip. Insert patented Franco di Santis tangent here. As a point of fact, I tend to tip and tip well, having been a waiter and bartender in a different life.

 

I wash my own car, not as frequently as I should to avoid dirty looks in West Hollywood but as I pointed out elsewhere, I am stopped at the La Cienaga/Santa Monica Boulevard crossing and asked why I still do not shave my forearms and legs, so I have resigned myself to not being one of the in crowds in my adopted homeland.

 

I often bag my own groceries into my book bag or "bag pack" when bike riding, I almost always ask for paper and I often bring back the paper backs so they can be re-used on my next shopping trips to either Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. I have been thanked only twice by a very smiling, much too cheerful for 10:00 a.m. and clearly straight young boy at Trader Joe's who said, "You just helped save a tree today!"

 

In San Francisco, I had a cleaning service come in once a month but have always done my own laundry. I clean my own rented condo here. I also empty my little girl's litter box myself.

 

>In other countries, you not only have to

>bag your own, you have to bring your own bag!

 

It is true that for California, San Francisco might as well be another country. In San Francisco, I also shopped at Rainbow and often boxed my own groceries, including milk bottles and juice bottles, and took them home with me on a bicycle. I never owned a car in ten years of living in The City.

 

>I'd have to say that LA is unlike the rest of California, so

>maybe this laziness is concentrated there. I'd have to agree

>that the L.A. lifestyle and the media promotion of it create

>a pretty lazy culture. What was that movie with Steve Martin

>about LA (people ordering diet water, etc)? I guess there's

>actually a lot of truth in jest in this case.

 

There is a long feature article in this past Sunday's New York Times about health clubs with expensive -- over $1,000 initiation fees and highly monthly dues -- where the staff will valet park your car, wash and detail it -- by the way, I had never heard of detailing a car until I moved to Los Angeles -- walk your dog, cut your hair, arrange theater tickets, etc. One woman was quoted as stating that she preferred "hanging out" at the gym more than her own small apartment.

 

I believe North Americans in this country who make a certain amount of money have gotten the message that they are somehow entitled to have certain expectations, to demand certain treatment. It inures them to the deprivation that exists and when they are confronted with it, they want it to disappear, not to be dealt with much less resolved, just simply not to be visible to them. That is not to say that this culture of necessary luxuries is particular to this country and does not exist elsewhere, but that this country has made an art and sport of this existence.

 

 

>When I lived in Atlanta - nearly everyone had a cleaning

>lady, or was one. They even had public buses with special

>unpublished routes which dropped the maids off along West

>Paces Ferry Road.

 

I even horror of horrors have taken the public transit system in Los Angeles.

Coincidence?

 

I have yet to have a brush with fame during my experience escorting now, however some of my clients in Palm Springs worked with and for individuals like Helen Hayes, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Red Buttons, etc.

 

In San Francisco, when you could only find me listed in a text advertisement in the back pages of the Bay Area Reporter in the mid-1990s. My two experiences with celebrities were in 1994 and 1995. One telephoned me himself, he was a mid-level movie actor at the time who has since appeared in some blockbuster films and has been nominated for an Academy Award. He asked me to arrive at his hotel room and to come straight to the room, at the Westin Saint Francis. He was very polite, very cordial, no semblence of ego. I did not realize he was an actor until I saw the scripts by his toilet and he mentioned the next project he was working on -- the first of his blockbusters.

 

The second experience was set up by the bar manager of the nightclub I had worked for, he had been contacted by the theater manager of a Union Square theater, who was a friend of the business manager to the celebrity. We met at the Fox Plaza in a rented executive apartment while he was in town for a performance run. This gentlemen was neither friendly nor polite.

RE: A middle-priced, earth friendly Houston Escort tangents

 

Bilbo's tangent: Here in Houston, they won't let you bring your paper sack back to the grocery store, any more than they would let you go through the buffet line a second time with the same plate. My beloved Cub does let them give him paper sacks, which I use some of to recycle my newspapers. But, Di, paper sacks, even reused, must wear out eventually. I always have a supply of canvas bags (with various nice pictures on them) in my car and use them for my groceries, etc. I am often a bit, well, surprised isn't the right word anymore, shall we say offput when the sacker has obviously never used them before. In fact, this week, as the checker handed my cloth bags to the sacker, said sacker took them in one hand and asked me if plastic would be all right, not realizing what he was holding! :7 , but true, Blanche, true!

Kenneth Lay really ruined Houston for the rest of us. And the Lady Diana no longer has the choice of either plastic or paper.

[Guest Ant415]

Chris,

 

May I suggest paper plates. No need to let dirty dishes stack in the sink.

Good grief! What's next? Plastic wine glasses and paper napkins?

RE: Dust to Dust

 

Kenneth Lay is left in the dust by the wonderful people who continually renew Houston. Kristian, Athan, maybe me ....

 

Sorry I abreviated your name wrong. Oops.

A monster devoured his character.

To answer your question about "the other Tom"

 

I have heard a lot of rummors about the hireing of escorts in NYC, how true those are is beyond me. I for one would never divulge information about any of my clients as to who they are exactly. I know for a fact that "stars" use agencies, since they are almost guaranteed discretion. And, after all who's going to believe that you fu*ked Tommy!! LOL

[Dbltrblescorts]

It has been my experience that there is a legally binding discretionary contract signed usually before meeting with a client. I had this happen about 3 months ago and as odd a request as it was from the gentleman, I wanted to respect his need for discretion. He overnighted me the contract, I had a lawyer friend of mine look over it and he approved. I took it to a notary and signed it and sent it back. He is now a regular client but for a celebrity these things need to be done for thier protection.I would say that even for a regular business man or anyone wanting discretion this is the way to go. It may seem like a hassle but it took an hour out of my day to complete and I have made many gains from that small task. I hope this helps.

 

Sincerely, Adrian Adonis of Orlando

Yes - but then you can't just run cold water over them and re-use

;-)

[Guest Jordan21]

So the next question (aside from who is it), is whether this celeb is totally hot, and his being a celeb has made it any more exciting for you?

[Guest Ruben]

Adrian,

 

If you did violate this contract some day and revealed information about the client, what penalties in law might you face? And were these potential legal actions against you spelled out in the contract you signed?

RE: Coincidence?

 

I'm half Scots (and half Irish. And on forms I usually check "other" for race. I am not Anglo-Saxon. I am a Celt.)

 

And the one time I was hired by a recognizable actor, when he was visiting Houston, he called me himself, his very recognizable voice "hanging out all over the place."

 

There was one time years before that when someone contacted me asking me to meet with a well known name. But he mentioned the name over the phone. So I didn't believe him. I mean, when you go for discretion for realies, you go all the way, right? (Actually, I was much newer in the profession and even if I had believed him, I didn't think that having a third party know about the assignation was discrete enough for my taste.)

RE: Insured Discretion

 

What causes a thread to get revived almost five months after the last post? The Most Expensive Item on the Menu thread also got revived after several dormant months.
