So Who Lit Up Your Year In 2015?

Escort Of The Year 2015

 

Las Vegas, NV - Daddy's taking the day off and cooking a crispy duck for Thanksgiving. That takes about four hours because you cook the duck slowly so that all the duck fat makes it out and into the pan. The recipe I'm using can be found here: The Best Way to Roast a Duck (Hello, Crispy Skin!)

 

Just a few more weeks and we will have made it through 2015. It's been another rough year for a lot of us, but we made it to this day where we can be thankful for making it.

 

I often say: "If when I wake up, I can put my feet on the floor and stand up, it's a good day." Lately I've been having more good days than bad days. So my hope and wish for all of you is that in the rough patch that we're all going through, you have more good days than bad days.

 

Once again it's time to vote for those special men that manage to light up your life.

 

I would be most grateful if you'd take a few moments and me an email to daddy@daddysreviews.com with the names of the top three escorts on your short list and a brief reason why they made it onto your list. Or If you prefer you can login to the Forum and look for the "So Who lit Up Your Year" instead

• If you can list more than three be warned I'll only look at the first three and the order you list them in is important so your favorite should be at the top.
  

• If you're one of our MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) posters or you vote multiple times, you'll be cast into the special mailbox of shame never to find out that your vote didn't count.
  

• Yes, voting via email and in the Message Forum counts as a duplicate.
  

• Ballot box stuffing is routinely detected and those entries are removed with prejudice. Grandstanding, Flaming, and Hijacking will get a Raspberry. Haters will be expelled by the grinch until next year.
  

My very best to each and every one of you!

 

(To retain my sanity, I periodically remove non-ballots from the thread. Only one "Do-Over" will be allowed.)

Well since I talked about my nominees publicly for the last month or so...

 

1. Alec Andrews...

From the very first time we met, this guy has been an absolute dream. He is as sweet as sweet can be, but can be a devil in the sheets. I enjoy every second I have with him, be it talking about whatever, sweating it up in bed, or doing all sorts of fun things standing up in a shower/submerged partly in a bath.

 

2. Mike Gaite...

Mike is awesome... point blank. He is one of the most givingly reciprocal working guys I've ever met. It almost shocks me sometimes. As I mentioned in my (submitted) review... that bright smile of his almost never leaves his face. And with all this, there is also a warm, kind, sassily witty man that can talk about anything with you for hours on end.

 

3. I have no third. I wish we could nominate past winners for an all star/hall of fame deal. Anyway, some I would vote for either wouldn't want to be nominated (because they don't want the publicity) or have retired.

[tyro]

Sigh. I didn't get to cast the first ballot. I always want to because my nominee deserves that spot. My choice for this year is Raul G. Manzo from Chicago. He's just...this beautiful anomaly. Beautiful mind, beautiful body, beautiful soul, beautiful man.

[Lankypeters]

Rob Yaeger

Shaun Lagger

James (NYC masseur)

[John Krups]

Kerry Slate, Chase Stephens

I don't have a third.

[+ bigjoey]

There are two for me to say that have "lit up my life" however, one has retired and no longer escorts which leaves me to publicly name one:

Alec Andrews

He is beyond amazing as his many reviews can attest. Beyond the looks, sexual skills, intelligence and personally there is the man deep inside who is basically just a "good guy." Fortunate to have met him and have him in my life.

 

The other escort who has given up the business is just as amazing but there is no point in listing him as he is "off the market."

[Andy2]

Daddy, thanks for continuing this great tradition. Assuming I should not nominate a guy who has already won EOY (such as the spectacular A.J. Irons and Tristan Baldwin, eternal favs), I'd like to nominate these three, in order of enthusiasm.

 

1. Richard of PlanetJockboys, who travels a fair amount. He is devastatingly handsome and buff, as well as passionate and fun. He is a MMA fighter and so is rough and tough, if you like that (but he always respects your limits). Bravo!

 

2. Mike Gaite, certainly one of the smartest guys on this website, and buff, handsome, passionate as well.

 

3. Jesse Santana. Very sensual, buff, and wild. He is a bit flaky, but I have found that if you bear with him and make clear what you want, he is capable of delivering a passionate, wild, and (for me) safe experience.

[Jim Corrigan]

Tyger Hudson times 2.What a man!!!

[Despardo]

Standouts for me in 2015 to pick 3 as truly mind blowing would be:

 

J Ald0, formerly Jamie Anseloni in Seattle

Dan and Franklin in Las Vegas

Hairy and Friendly in Palm Springs

 

also excellent were:

 

Andrew Young in Seattle

Peter Hung in Las Vegas

Daniel Nicolaus in Prague

ACoupeur in Las Vegas

Derek Atlas in Las Vegas

SexyNFit in Seattle

 

See reviews on Daddy or on Rentmen.

[loverboy95]

Only one escort is getting my vote and that is the amazing Alec Andrews! He lit up my entire world and I am thankful he is making waves in the industry. He deserves to be EOY 2015!

[Tigger]

For my top three --

 

1. Mike Gaite of San Jose- you couldn't ask for a friendlier guy

2. Tatum Parks of Portland, Oregon- he's a sweetheart. He even picked me up from the airport for our overnight.

3. Andrew Maroc of San Francisco-another really sweet guy.

[+ tristanbaldwin]

When Daddy asks other escorts who've been around the block for their input on this question, I never cast a vote privately. Always tend to say things in public form, even if it leads to my demise / draws the ire of other members. Here's my three, and how I substantiate their votes.

 

Primary Criteria: -Escorting as their principal form of income / employment, they take it as seriously as they do their own existence

-Traveling Escort; their share their love across this nation. Although there are some guys who really are standouts who didn't tour as much and were able to draw a big reputation just by dominating one city(Chris Eisenhower, DC, etc.), it is the touring guys that really impress me. Escorting itself is not easy; factor in travel arrangements in addition to that, the 'risk' of paying for your own travel and hoping(most guys don't have to hope to make that money back, the stress of the road- these are the factors that really GALVANIZE and make a mature, serious escort in my eyes.

-Participation on the forum / Daddy's Review Events / Public Persona / Twitter / Adult Videos(not necessarily a deciding factor, but a bonus): You want someone who is bringing energy to this table, and hopefully in a positive manner.

 

1) J.D. Daniels. Throw tomatoes at me if you want, but here's my two cents. I initially wasn't so over enthused about the methods of approaching the EoY thing, but think past the METHODS and get to the root of the matter: this guy wants to be the BEST at something. Wants to contribute. There are far too many escorts out there that do the bare MINIMUM at a session; and here's a guy that is constantly not a clock watcher, not about business, and reaches out to tons of clients on the off time just to shoot the shit. That's the definition of a 'personal' connection, not a business one. Physically he's got a great body, great dick, has been in loads of XXX and knows how to use it, and moreover- his participation and energy towards escorting and Daddy's Reviews in general are exactly what this business needs. He may not be for everyone, and it started out that he certainly wasn't for me...but when you approach it with an open mind and see him for his energy and what it is, he's about as a decent of a human being as you're gonna find.

 

2) Alec Andrews. Stellar looking, really ramped up the travel in 2015, and has been making a ton of people that I've mutually connected with, smile. Met him in the Springs in May, and I can safe firsthand, this is the stuff that EoY are made of. It's not a question of IF he ever wins EoY, it's just a question of when.

 

3) Mike Gaite- This one is second hand, as I've Never met the guy, never communicated with him on phone...but some of my best clients have seen him and really enjoyed his company. Furthermore, I've taken a peek at his travel schedule, and the things he posts on twitter. It's one thing to be a good escort /good businessman, and another thing(and more important thing) to be a GOOD person. This guy has my vote, without ever meeting him.

[GaitedBear]

MIKE GAITE

By literally a moment’s coincidence, I met Mike, and I have been very fortunate and blessed by doing so. After several visits, in multiple states and locales, for multiple days, I can vouch for the incredible man, at so many levels, that he is.

Only one to vote for, in my opinion.

[+ mature_guy]

1. Dylan Knight - he stills brings a smile to my face when I think of our afternoon together

2. JustPaul from Raleigh

3. no third - it was a light year

[sutherland]

Matthew James. The comments about him have been rather lukewarm but he was very energetic with me and seemed to be enjoying himself. He is traveling more these days so he may be coming to a city near you real soon.

[romanz]

My vote goes to Mr. Mike Gaite. He is the consummate escort and a phenomenal person: perfection personified. He blows my socks off each and every time I meet with him. He has an innate ability to connect personally with his client physically, emotionally, and intellectually. A person could not ask for a sexier and more beautiful man.

[bigvalboy]

Killian James. Because...From the moment he climbed into the family mobile, I liked him. Handsome, personable, has a wicked sense of humor, straight talker, no bullshit, brought out the devil in me, and he is one sexy "MF"...and made this old man feel just a little bit better about himself. He renewed my faith in hiring and He will forever be "Number One Wife" ...Period...Oh, and did I mention sexy?

 

Tristan Baldwin. Because...Well because he's Tristan Baldwin. Enough said. If you have had the pleasure of being with Tristan, then you know what I mean, if not, he is hands down the best BF experience on the planet. Gave me 100% of his attention. He is gorgeous, sweet, kind, and made me feel desirable, needed, and I genuinely enjoyed his company. If you need further proof of the kind of person he is, just ask anyone who has had the joy of being with him, and take a moment to read what he posts on the MF. He's the real deal my friends...

 

Vin Marco. Because...hottest body on the planet. OK, never met the man, never chatted with him, but just read his comments on the MF, and see how he conducts himself here. His character clearly shines through. Not sure he cares about EOY, but just take a quick peek at his pics, Yes I know, unbelievable... so yes, he has my vote, because I see a beautiful man, inside and out, and because he lit up my life, and "Rocked my World"...

 

I now return you to your regularly scheduled programing...

[+ WilliamM]

JD Daniels, first place: amazingly kind and tours endlessly, very deserving of EOY

Killian James, second place: sexy and hot, had a wonderful time with him

Brian Kevin, third place: a real find, amazing sex

[Irtwo]

No personal experience with my nominations, but it's in appreciation of their contributions to the forums:

 

1.Brian Kevin

2.Kurtis Wolfe

3.Juan Vancouver

[+ Robster]

1. Alec Andrews

A class act and a beautiful man, inside and out. Loves what he does, and is great at it!

 

Rob

[Strafe13]

1 Ryan Thick in L.A.

2 JLA (JayCali) in Hollywood/LA

3 Marek in NYC

4 Igor in NYC

[+ José Soplanucas]

My choice is Juan Vancouver. I have never been with him (or anyone out of the escorts in the forum), but his input here is always thoughtful, honest, and interesting. I like his brain.

My second choice would be JD, because he seems to be a nice guy, and it looks like he does care about this nomination.

No third choice.

 

DO OVER

Let's correct my vote, as I've been advised I am not following the rules. These are my nominations:

 

1. Juan Vancouver

2. JD Daniels

3. Mocha

[Mikegaite]

1. JD Daniels. Well I did receive three unsolicited phone calls from him including one at 1 a.m., so I'm not a complete and total fanboy, but JD seems pretty close to the paragon of escorting perfection. Hundreds of reviews can't be wrong. I know he isn't seeing five times as many people as I am despite getting five times as many reviews bc there aren't enough hours in a day, so I can only conclude he's hitting a grand slam every single time he steps up to bat. Moreover, he has openly reached out to the community on how to become a better escort, which takes serious guts and would translate into great confidence with clients. In addition, his forum posts are incredibly thoughtful and comprehensive, which he doesn't really seem to get enough credit for. He has made the community a better place for everyone and set the bar so high I can barely see it.

 

2. Alec Andrews. Amazing looks, amazing personality, amazingly talented inside and outside the bedroom. Plus if you read his reviews, his hugs are "warm and safe," (as opposed to those escorts whose hugs are unsafe, but that's a whole different can of worms).

 

3. Dane Scott. He's received runner-up awards in the past and continues to generate great press. He still takes on new clients and wows them. And I would imagine you would have a better orgasm masturbating to his torso pictures than you would having sex with pretty much anyone.

[Guest countryboywny]

For me it's #1 DANE SCOTT who gets my vote.

[+ JayManLB]

For 2015, I would like to nominate:

1. Alec Andrews (a really beautiful man, inside and out! Alec is a stellar escort, beautiful body, great sense of humour, and knows how to please his clients! He is a total expert at the art of gentleman call-ery!)

2. Amir, OC (Amir is just about one of the best escorts out there... he is a true professional, beautiful, funny, and a really great masseur. He also is an excellent tastemaker-- posh, luxe, and high-end are words that describe Amir!)

3. Luca, Dallas (Luca is a beautiful, uber-muscular HUNGarian man based in Dallas, and wow is he sexy, fun, smart, and talented. I really enjoyed my first meeting with Luca this year!)

 

Good luck to all!
