It is appreciated. I can see that the effort will grow as the database grows and the rate of incoming reviews increase. I cannot say that nothing will ever get by me but I do try to give due care to each review. IMO the toughest issue is determining if there is sufficient information content to accept a review. I don't wish to fill the database with a bunch of PR announcments devoid of information content other than an announcment "He's open for business and he is a great time". Throwing chaff in with the wheat was one of my peeves with other sites. I settle for the criterion: does the review convey some substantative information about the escort that a client is better off knowing than not knowing. The second toughest part is trying to ferret out the fake and self-reviews. Some are obvious and an easy call. Others seem likely, yet there is no definitive evidence to make the call. In these cases I have to rely on readers to differentiate between the reviews that convey the clients experience from those reviews that highlight the escort's services. Reviews should stress the former and self-reviews tend to stress the latter. However there are enamored yet legitimate clients that tend to focus on the escort in breadth rather than focus on the experience. This is where the reviewer track record is helpful in assessing the veracity of the review. Presently, our rejection rate is running close to 25%, one of every four on average. This causes days without new reviews. We are dedicated to creating a credible database of reliable information without resorting to useless chaff to 'stuff our stats', or by adopting the philosophy of publishing everything and letting the reader ferret out the wheat from the chaff. (That makes it easier to process the reviews but at increased reader effort and frustration to locate valuable information.) When I was on the client side of the fence I was looking for a library of solid information, not just a field in which to prospect for nuggets where I can find them. Both perspectives may have their place but one is more friendly to more users IMO even if at added effort to provide. Our goal is to provide a service beyond a simple repository of unfiltered anonymous remarks. As the # of reviews >increase, I hope you'll still have a personal review of each >submitted. I cannot conceive of a way to automate the reviews without totally compromising the integrity of the database. Each review requires an individual read to validate as well as to correlate with the existing database. Consistency is also an issue if more than one person processes reviews. Different people make different calls. We keep the review process under a single individual. I will continue to give each one individual attention.
  2. Along with Kansas, the Age of Enlightenment seems to have skipped Mother Russia -- then and now. ;(
  3. In the past I had given some thought to starting up a video production company. Considered partnering with an escort that was looking down the road for what's next after.... Even considered taking video production courses to further the goal. The startup costs and beaucracy requirements these days (2257), and even more, the prospect of taking on a task akin to herding cats gave me pause. One needs a nitche to separate from the pack. Some choose twinks, some ethnic, some bareback, others good clean raunch. . Another issue to resolve. So I settled for a different path. Still have mixed feelings about that but happy where I am.
  4. Sorry I have no wisdom to offer here. My laptop experience is limited and my PDA experience is nonexistant.
  5. That is good news to hear for our Latin American fans. However, the bad news is that the dollar is still in the crapper pretty much world wide and Bush and the Fed has no incentive to give it CPR. It seems it is better to give China boat loads of our cheap dollars. Can you imagine the US and Canadian $s at parity? It's damn near there. Imagine US $ being declined in Montreal!!! .. if the trend continues. ;( Actually, I doubt that will ever happen. We are, by far, their biggest trade partner so we'll probably drag them down with us.
  6. I just discovered this site. A Brit flavored Corbin Fisher, more twinkish than CF it seems. For all the twink lovers out there: http://www.blakemason.com/filmmodels/Adam%...20biog%2001.jpg http://www.blakemason.com/filmmodels/Simon...odel%20biog.jpg http://www.blakemason.com/films/Adam%20and...amples/as11.jpg http://www.blakemason.com/films/Adam%20and...amples/as50.jpg http://www.blakemason.com/films/Adam%20and...amples/as77.jpg More treasure can be found at: http://www.blakemason.com
  7. I second that motion. Best of luck Jesse.

    Don't know... maybe a trend or maybe a single point but Brodie is raising mine. }( Enjoy. http://www.randyblue.com/images/caps/B/Vid...lip02_scene.jpg http://www.randyblue.com/images/caps/B/Vid...lip03_scene.jpg http://www.randyblue.com/images/caps/B/Vid...lip04_scene.jpg http://www.randyblue.com/images/caps/B/Vid...lip05_scene.jpg http://www.randyblue.com/images/caps/B/Vid...lip06_scene.jpg http://www.randyblue.com/images/caps/B/Vid...lip08_scene.jpg Better pics: http://blog.waybig.com/2006/05/23/brodie-sinclair-randyblue/ Brodie's Trailer: http://www.randyblue.com/videoupdate.php?vid=764&v=s

    >I always enjoy looking at the preview clips of Sean Cody and >Corbin Fisher because more often than not these >"straight" boys are rock hard as they are being >fucked. > >It's pretty arousing! :9 For the record and for my taste, I find Corbin Fisher the best of the sites of this genre. They have the hottest guys and they really seem to get into it as you point out. I think Sean Cody is a strong second but falls short of the lead by a head length. Also, I have stumbled across a Mike Hancock vid. I found it to be a hot duo. A second earliier vid with one of the same guys was not quite as good but then it was much earlier. In genearal, I find Randy Blue outpaced by all of these although they have a few hot hunks I've run across.
  10. Jesse, I second the thanks for sharing. TY
  11. >There are some answers. Cadillac has developed an in seat >cooling technology that will allow its cars to run without >airconditioning except in the most brutally hot weather. >Experts estimate that, if every car on American highways had >the use of this technology, the United States' annual gasoline >consumption would drop by approximately 7%. > I haven't heard of this. Interesting new development. However, having driven in the South and Southwest I cannot imagine how a seat could cool the ambient cabin air without giving my ass a case of frostbite. This cooling cannot be energy free either. It must be powered by the primary engery source for the car. Still, it will be interesting to see how this develops and if it is an affordable option to most.
  12. These gas prices leave me breathless!! I could no longer afford the 500 mile a week commute that I trekked for 24 years. Now I drive less than 5 miles a week on average. Thank god. But not to worry, I still get screwed to the wall for propane and electricity which are the highest ever!! ;( The interesting thing... I still see SUVs rolling off the lines and out of the new car lots. I wonder how high is high enough before this trend slows to a trickle. I can't imagine burning $100 a week to fill my tank. We had better get our ass in gear perfecting coal gasification and hydrogen fuel or this economy will be screwed eventually. We are up to our ass in coal and water. Nothing else seems practical for the big picture. Oil is very problematic -- logistically and politically even if there is enough to meet demand. I dont see a return back toward what was ' normal' as long as Iraq and Iran are political issues and as long as they remain so then Venezuela can be a real added irritant also. With China and India on the horizon, it is not sure that demand can be met in the future, even without the logistics and politics issues. We can drill in ANWAR and off the Flroida Gulf Coast and I support that but, in reality, those are short term band aids -- burps to relieve some of the pressure temporarily. We wasted the last 30 years when we got our first wake up call on this issue. Can we afford to sleep through this second call? Our work force is distributed away from work centers. That cannot change overnight. Higher fuel costs have impacted salaries and prices and this is going to get worse. City residential prices will skyrocket above already stratospheric prices as people try to locate closer. This is likely to cause an increase in telecommuting for those businesses and employees that can accommodate it. For the others... they are screwed for now. Someone please post an optimistic view for balance.
  13. Yummm... definitely my speed. Thanks. }(
  14. straycat, Thanks for the links. Some nice eye candy. }( The gay beer spot is entertaining considering how controversial it must have seemed at the time. I suspect your 5 years is more like 10, maybe even15, given that Farley died Dec. '97. Amazing how time flies faster every year.
  15. >Got a pair of jeans, a tight fitting clubbing shirt, and black >canvas shoes with stripes down the sides. > >Gonna try and get in again tonight. > >And, no Tampa, no one will be bringing a camera! LOL.... too bad. Would pay a pretty penny to see that. There is nothing you won't stoop to! }(
  16. I hope you informed them that you had been "thrown out of BETTER places than this" . :+
  17. Thanks for the update. I hear BA is beautiful. Hope you have another opportunity to try out those Men of BA and report back. I look forward to sampling the delights of BA, Rio and SP one of these days. }( This is the third rave review of Danilo as a guide. Good for him and good for his clients.
  18. Marc, I am impressed that the Special Forces and Police mustered for your inaugural foray into the Moscow Club Scene, clearing your path of undesirables and lines that would impede your access. Your reputation preceeds you. :7
  19. >See private email See reply.
  20. >Now I guess we have a problem with publishing a response to a >second review ? Why would you guess that? Actually there is a problem. For some reason the software is choosing to capitalize the first letter of every word. Weird!!! Should be fixed soon.
  21. Hi Heather, Sorry we do not list male escorts for women but you might try http://americanmale.net/ . They have a straight male escort section. You might also try a google search for various combinations of male escorts, escorts for women, straight male escorts, etc. and your city. An alternative is to check out http://www.craigslist.org/ for your city. There are classified ads for 'Men Looking for Women' ,'Women Looking For Men' and Escort Services too. There are often quite a few ads in the larger metro areas. If you have AOL then you might try searching profiles in your city for males and keyword 'companion'. You might try 'escort' and 'massage' too but AOL scrubs these profiles periodically. You might also try a Yahoo profile search for male and escort too although these profiles tend to be woefully out of date. Also if you live in a large metropolitan area there may exist agencies and individuals that advertise in weekly magazines, eg. the Village Voice in NY or The Phoenix Adult Insert in Boston, etc. Sometimes online versions exist. Again, google your location for alternative periodicals, and magazines. Please be sure to exercise caution when engaging an escort. You can never be sure who is on the other side of the phone, computer screen or email exchange. These are strangers and unless you can google a straight escort review site then you have to rely on your own wits to stay safe. A little caution goes a long way. Hope this helps. Good luck.
  22. Yes, welcome Jakobsen. I too become a Lara Fabian fan -- between Mark and Damian. Damian introduced the music and Mark, the name.
  23. They are back.
