old escort pics (<wipes off cobwebs>)

[lookin4hotties]

Thank God only a few guys including a certain blonde

who gets reviewed often (I am NOT referring to BN)

seem to think they are fooling us by posting pics

from the late 90's (also up to about 2001) that

never get updated. What is up with that?

Always nice to see cute pics of cute guys, but

*ahem* time to update your pic at least once

every Presidential election/decade/century.

 

Even if the client is fat, hairy and ugly, I don't

think they have the right to get "ripped off" by

someone who has posted a totally old pic...

Nasty men need love too and as long as they pay

fair market value, why should they not get what

they are expecting? Otherwise, why should anyone

put up with all of this crap?

 

I, as a client, want to know that what I'll be getting

is the same as what I THINK I'll be getting. Same

applies to fraudster pics.

They COMPLETELY piss me off.

 

Lookin4hotties :9

 

P.S.: I'm not the client I described above...

I work out and mom thinks I'm hot.

*whew* Thanks for not fingering me (ahem)...

 

And for the record, i'm back to my natural red hair. Blonde is nice, but it's too much to keep up with. Since it's getting closer to St. Pats day, i thought i'd stay true to my roots. *wink*

 

Warmest,

Red hair is my absolute favorite. I don't need any help with Viagra when facing a pretty pink hole tufted with lovely, sweat-laced red curls. Oh my, I'm getting hard as I write this. I may have to rethink my desire for a rendezvous with Mr. Nicholas, after all.

 

As for Escort pics,

 

NOTE TO ESCORTS:

 

GET RID OF THE OLD PICS BECAUSE I AIN'T PAYIN' FOR FALSE ADVERTISING. FEEL FREE TO SHOW THEM AS LONG AS YOU JUXTAPOSE THEM WITH CURRENT PHOTOS. IF YOU SHOW UP AT MY DOOR AND FORCE ME TO SAY, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?," DON'T BE SURPRISED WHEN I CLOSE THE DOOR IN YOUR FACE WITHOUT A DOLLAR IN YOUR HAND. I HATE LIARS!

 

IF YOU'RE NOT SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET A FREE PHOTO SHOOT OUT OF A TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHER THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT BEING A HOT BUSINESSMAN.

 

FIND A PHOTOGRAPHER YOU CAN TRUST WHO ONLY SHOOTS DIGITAL. THERE ARE PLENTY OUT THERE. I HAVE NAMES IF YOU NEED ONE.

 

NEVER SIGN A RELEASE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE FAMOUS FOR THAT FINE ASS.

 

ESCORTS WHO TAKE THEIR BUSINESS SERIOUSLY SHOULD HAVE PHOTO SHOOTS EVERY SIX MONTHS IF NOT MORE OFTEN. IN FACT, I RECOMMEND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF EVERY PHOTO OPPORTUNITY YOU CAN. GOOD PHOTOS ARE THE KEY TO GREAT ADVERTISING AND ATTRACTING NEW CUSTOMERS. THE MORE THE MERRIER.

 

Happy shooting! :-)

Better yet, escorts, just turn all of your business affairs over to Rock Hard. No one knows more than he does.

RE: old escort pics? Customers, JUST SAY NO!

 

Hard Rock... you said it all!

 

A couple of years ago I lusted over a certain guy’s website… Unfortunately by the time I hooked up with him the sizzling “six pack” in the photos had morphed into a hideous “beer belly”… Even though I was blindfolded for a good portion of the session it did not make for much repeat business!

RE: old escort pics? Customers, JUST SAY NO!

 

To be honest, some of the guys out there could really use 101 class on how to advertise period. How about the phrase "I am hot4you hire me". Saw that today that was it and one picture fully clothed from the side. What is the point.

 

I know a lot of escorts have not changed a lot, but what is wrong with finding a friend with a good quality digital camera or investing in one of your own. Please get rid of the grainy ones. Darker skined guys how about some light in your pictures. Pictures taken against mirrors when the flash goes off or pictures taken two inches from your face are not very good. Have your best clients take a look at them and see what they think. If you do not know how to post the right size picture or keep it from being sideways. I basically think you are not serious about this at all. Better than some choices some of you have.

 

I forgot the name of the poster who used to go digging out terrible shots and putting a little commentary to it I think there is whole crop of new ones sitting out there.

 

Most of you guys have lots of stuff to strut, so lets see it. You can post your new shots here in the deli for free. Free advertising. If you are going to show a face shot, how about a smile on one of those shots. Michael V and Anton are just recent examples of guys who invested in some new shots and came here with them and thank god for some fresh looks at some hot men. You can even ask your clients about taking some shots of you with your own camera of course or a friend's you trust, escpecially if you are on an overnight. The client might be delighted to help.

 

Honestly cock shots are nice but guys wearing some of that hot sexy underwear, even black and whites are so hot. Or wearing nice open shirt and tight jeans or under armor. Wow hot on most of you guys.

RE: old escort pics? Customers, JUST SAY NO!

 

I personally always liked Steven Draker's photos the best. He usually has at least a fresh batch out each year if not sooner. His website is the best too. Ricardo Milos does a good job of good fresh photos being added and who can deny that great smile on that hot latin body. Talvin DeMachio has fresh shots on his website too, the ones here are older. Small Town John has been adding shots all along too. I usually recommend Steven's site to guys when they are not sure what to do, that is very complete and fortunately kept up to date too.

 

Basically if you have to stare at the picture for more than 10 seconds to make it out, use a magnifying glass, crank your neck sideways, suggest they use their driver's lisence photo instead, than it is a bad picture. If they claim to be smooth and hair is in the photo, hair color is listed blond and now black, Georgie was still in his first term, and Brad and Jen were still married then get some new shots.

[Guest Jesse Dane]

I know I'm always on the lookout for photographers looking for TFP shoots. I get free pictures, they get to use the pics for their portfolio and we're both happy.

 

So for anyone needing pics, check out craigslist. You can almost always find someone on there looking for that kind of settup.

RE: old escort pics? Customers, JUST SAY NO!

 

Let me add one more thing and it’s just about as touchy a subject.

 

Please update your age!

 

It’s after January 1 and escorts, like horses, have surely gotten one year older. Yes, we gay men have this thing about age and turning older. But come on, some guys have not aged a day in years.

 

For example, there's a DC escort whose advertisement says he's 23. Well that's really interesting since I recently found one of his old ads from 1999 that said he was 21 at the time.

 

So you mean to tell me in nearly six years the guy has only aged two full years? Get me some of that magic elixir right now! Let's bottle it and make a mint if we can slow the aging process down by two thirds there's money to be made. :+

Rock. IF you are looking for Red Hair and Good looking check out Justin Carter/NYC.. He is definitely a Hot Guy, with a very Sexy Aussie/English voice! IMHO of course.

 

BOBBY/NYC.. Built like a Brick Outhouse, If your into that!

There are other's in NYC ALSO!

RE: old escort pics? Customers, JUST SAY NO!

 

Whip SO True. What I like about Talvin and Ricky and Ty is that their very Pro Photos show their Faces! Why go on these Exspensive shoots to hide your face? It definitely leads to someone Borrowing them, as we hear from some guys alot lately! Although if you have Old photos stolen, they don't look like you now ANYWAY.. So stolen really doesn't make a difference! LOL :7

Something crawl up that ass, dear?

 

"Better yet, escorts, just turn all of your business affairs over to Rock Hard. No one knows more than he does."

 

Well thank you for that ringing endorsement, however sarcastic. I'm not interested in every escort's business but I am interested in helping a few towards greater financial reach. Escorts remind me of models: their ability to capitalize on their talents is somewhat limited. I like to help when I can.

 

Too bad Lucky has no clue who I really am. Then his bitter sarcasm would sure make him look foolish (which is how he already looks to me). Any escort who reads my posts would be very smart to take any business advice I offer. I didn't become wealthy and successful by listening to sarcastic nincompoops. :-)

[Steven_Draker]

RE: old escort pics? Customers, JUST SAY NO!

 

Auggie, thanks for your kind words.

 

As for the pictures being updated every 6 months I must say that this process requires time and energy. At least once a year would be good.

 

As for the age, Arlington Guy - the birthday doesn't change and I believe the reviews show now the birthday - month/year and not the age anymore.

LOVING Steve's pics

 

"As for the pictures being updated every 6 months I must say that this process requires time and energy."

 

Every worthwhile endeavor requires time and energy, for sure. Photographers have to invest much more than any model. Finding a good photographer who'd be willing to invest is a challenge but they're out there. DO NOT HESITATE TO BARTER, if you have to, and feel free to set boundaries.

 

A productive photo shoot doesn't require a lavish production. Strobe lighting and a studio is fun but not necessary. Frankly, the less production the sexier.

 

Stay modern and play with more than one photographer. As long as you pick creative talent, you'll get a new interpretation of your sexiness each and every time. What fun for the viewer!

 

My simple point is: EYE CANDY SELLS, and I don't mean copyright theft. It sells the product. Ask any pro-publicist, a celebrity NEVER has enough photos. Every six months, eight months, twelve months; it doesn't matter, just get out there and take advantage of every photo shoot offer.

 

Show me one customer who doesn't love looking at numerous photos of the man he's about to hire, and I'll show you a blind man. :o

RE: LOVING Rick and Derek's pics

 

I always look forward to Rick and Derek's latest sexy photos! Nothing like pics of hairy muscular guys to drive me insane. Its just a pity they don't show their handsome faces.....or action shots!! :9 }(

[Chuck50]

Does that mean we will see it Green??? HUGS

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

RE: old escort pics (<wipes off cobwebs>)

 

Green would be sort of interesting...

 

You saying that reminds me of my grandma who would, every St Pat's Day, spray her hair green with temporary coloring.

 

She was a good Irish gal from the old country and considered that day in March to be her version of Christmas. Mind you, she did this well into her 80's. It was GREAT

 

Latha math! (for those who speak a little Gaelic)

RE: LOVING Rick and Derek's pics, almost...

 

"Its just a pity they don't show their handsome faces"

 

I agree: not only in the case of Rick and Derek but for all escorts!

 

I will NEVER hire an escort unless I can get some sense of his face, whether in his ad or via email. I don't need to see the whole enchilada in perfect focus but I have to know I'm going to like his mouth (especially his lips), his eyes, his jaw-line, and his hair.

 

I fully understand some escorts really need to keep their identity private. I respect that. BUT, there are so many creative ways to show parts of a man's face that would NEVER reveal identity yet still give the paying customer more worthwhile information. Producing more interest or keeping a lid on interest: it's a delicate balance every escort must ponder and, IMO, too many fall prey to self-imposed fear and paranoia. Or they have something to hide.

 

But here is a very simple fact: as long as a model is not looking straight into the camera's lens, it's VERY difficult to identify that person in real life.

 

The camera adds ten pounds, automatically, and the human eye sees a photograph differently than it sees a three-dimensional object. The location of light in a photograph is stationary, whereas, the location of light in life is vertiginous. It takes a certain amount of time and analysis, and a professional eye, to compare the two and make the claim that this person is one and the same.

 

It's different for film celebrities because the audience sees them in 360 degree lighting situations, which closely emulate real life. The same holds true for porn actors (obviously they're not concerned about hiding anything).

 

Unless you're a hard-core criminal with a lengthy rap sheet, law enforcement would have much difficulty trying to pick a man in a line-up from a creatively lit face in a photo. Then there's the question whether law enforcement even cares what goes on between consenting adults behind closed doors.

 

If you want my money for the attention, DON'T just offer me a headless body. I won't even bother to knock. I will automatically assume you have something to hide and will move on to the next ad.

 

ps I hear through the homo grapevine that there are men who prefer to not see the face and get turned on by the "not knowing" aspect of the encounter. None of these men exist in my circle.

RE: Something crawl up that ass, dear?

 

Who you really are? hehehe In Hooville, it doesn't matter. As far as I can tell, you are just another blowhard looking for chances to brag. What practical difference would it make to me if you were Brad Pitt or Bill Gates?

 

That doesn't mean that you are not a nice guy. You and I are probably in agreement more often than not. But in reality, this is just a gay message center. What we say here isn't going to change diddly squat in the greater scheme of things. So lighten up, have some fun. Leave the attitude at work.

 

It's not all about you! Or me.

Sweetheart, don't blame me for your low self-esteem. I don't share your feelings of insignificance. And judging by my inbox, quite a few others don't share your feelings, either.

Hope you escorts are reading--I, DIGICAMMAN, for the last couple of years, have made this trade with hot escorts of my liking--I do a professional shoot with lights, lightstands, and highest-quality digital camera, taking approximately 200 pics--you, on the spot pick out the dozen or so ones you like the best and I take those and do the manipulations and retouching in Photoshop® and send you the final product on a DVD. I don't distribute any pics whatsoever unless you want me to have the shoot submitted to various publications, in which case different rules apply such as model release as referred to above--but for the purposes here, in exchange, I get an overnight with no cash trading hands. When you consider that 2-3 hours of the overnight are actually part of the shoot and the time I also spend in photoshop at my studio afterwards, it's a sweet deal for both of us. I never reveal the names of customers done on this basis nor the PICS. I will say this--that some pretty well know escorts have taken me up on this and were pretty happy. This isn't' a solicitation for business, just a comment on a few of the posts}(

RE: old escort pics? Customers, JUST SAY NO!

 

What I now do when meeting new escorts who have sent me pictures or have pictures posted on the web is to take a printout of those pictures with me when I see the escort. If he differs a lot from his photos then I show him the pictures and say thats why I will pass.

 

Last month I agreed to see a visiting escort to DC. His pictures showed a full set of hair and a lean trim very defined body. When I arrived at his hotel room I noticed he had a lot less hair than his picture, and he also had a receding hairline which the picture did not show. Flabby was the operative word to describe him and he had a nice little belly that showed even with his shirt on.

 

When I pointed this out to him he said his pictures were 100% accurate and I must be confused. I then showed him the printout of his pictures and he broke out in a sheepish grin and said "a boy has to do what a boy has to do". He suggested we continue with the call anyway since I was already there and he was horny. I refused and he started whining about how he needed money since his time was valuable. I reminded him my time was valuable too and I had wasted a lot of it driving into DC, paying for parking etc so he wasn't getting a dime from me.

 

If anyone coming across this sort of false advertising goes ahead with the call anyway because they are horny, then they are indirectly guilty of letting escorts continue and get away with this practice. I don't mind if a escort doesn't update his pictures on a regular basis as long as he looks like whatever pictures he is using. Everyone is different, some people age very slowly and can look the same today as a picture taken several years ago. Others can age very fast, so in that case they better update their pictures to reflect current reality.

 

Bottom line is that if a escort engages in false advertising by using old pictures that don't remotely resemble his current looks, then he shouldn't get a dime from any of us. I am sure Hooboy (God rest his soul) would advise such escorts to start learning one of his favorite lines "Do you want fries with your burger"
