Social Class matters !

Once upon a time I had a writing professor who said never begin an essay with a cliché. Too bad I didn’t listen huh ?

Sitting at lunch with a local provider at Matsutake in Frederick an excellent steak and Sushi bar I was answering the question of why Dreams has had such success with our target audience. The provider was regaling me about the problem clients she’s had and the number of bad calls of late. In the end she asked me the inevitable question, “ what is wrong with these guys”?

Biting into my Sake (salmon) I looked at her smiled and said simply  “ Social Class”.

“What” she replied?

“Social class”, I repeated. “Part of your answer has everything to do with social class. Of course the other part of the problem is “you” but I’ll come back to that.” Read the rest of this entry »

“It’s official” I said “were old fogies”.

Sitting back in my chair at Carrabba’s Italian Grill (one of our usual Lexington KY hangouts) with my business associate and bud, Mike of Fantasys, as we were talking about this new generation. You know you’re getting old when you start saying things like “what’s wrong with kids today” and “in my day we knew better“.

Recently Mike stated in his blog for Fantasys Escort Service a new quasi policy of “I’ve decided to go back to working more with the “mature women”. It’s always been against my better judgment to search out the “young-ins” because like it or not-they are notoriously UNRELIABLE and high maintenance. Hate the hell outta that! ”

Honest to god, we’re the ONLY Agency that I’ve ever seen that has real 18-20 year old girls and while they are easy on the eyes-they are a bitch and a half to work with. I’ll keep a few coming and going for new faces but I simply am not willing to keep up the pace to have them around. Wears me out.”

You would be amazed the number of applications I get from young women who don’t seem to get the fact our employment application is a “JOB APPLICATION“! Granted not everyone is a spelling bee champ however you would think proper use of English would be a given. Sad to say it is not uncommon for me to receive applications, which read like a teenagers Myspace page. Which incidentally it clearly states on the form the following: “Applications without photos, without a valid (working) e-mail address will NOT be given priority and probably ignored. ” I can count on about 20% of applications not having attached photos, the smart one’s put in the comments “I don’t have photos” which is acceptable. On several occasions I’ve had applicants literally tell me please go to my Myspace page to see my photo’s.

I’ve been in this business for 13 years my colleague Mike at Fantasys! has been in this business for over 25 with NO problems…. ever!. Between us we’ve been witness to a lot of changes and been at the forefront of many of them. Correspondingly we’ve also seen many of the same predictable cycles and common denominators repeat themselves over and over. Over time this has led to the Fantasys! Network operational paradigm which all “member” agencies and independents must operate under.Law Enforcement in most places is just doing their job, it’s nothing personal it’s just business. Most of them would rather go after serious crime however when they are given a directive with sufficient political juice to pursue a “complaint” they must comply. This is the system which most jurisdictions are basically governed by in “functional reality”. This also means all this stuff is very predictable. No matter what market you’re in we have observed there are behaviors and unsafe practices which given time will led to the inevitable negative outcome. At Fantasys and Dreams we are dead set against them and to us they are operational givens YOU DON’T DO.

Long time Fantasys Escorts clients know I’m a hard core flag waving Patriot when it comes issues of Americanism. This of course doesn’t mean I’m willfully blind either, I’ll be first one to stand up and say “hey there is a big pile of sh*t on the kitchen floor” ! Loving your country and being able to recognize it’s endemic faults are NOT mutually exclusive.

With the dollar on the decline against other world currencies and our government printing more money it’s no wonder why we’re all paying more for fuel these days. In reality the cost of fuel hasn’t gone up, what has happened is the value of the dollar has actually declined precipitously. Those of you who have trucks and SUV’s for business certainly know the impact and I feel you. Of course the group who I really have sympathy for is our truckers. The Government is there to bail out a failed brokerage house (Bear Stearns) but it seems our elected representatives have forgotten that trucking is a strategic industry in this country. These hard working men and women are trying to feed their families just like anyone else and it’s getting nearly impossible for them. Have you seen the price of diesel fuel lately ?

I’ve been in the Escort Industry for about 15 years. In this time I’ve had the privilege and honor to observe many aspects of the human condition. People can in a philosophical way be converted to a mathematical formula.

You know, A2 + B2 =C2… if you already know A and C you can solve what B must be and so on. In a sense it’s really not rocket science if you pay attention.

The other day I was talking to someone who doesn’t work for me and she was asking how am I able to tell the winners from the losers with such accuracy.

“Well it’s simple,” I said. “The women who will be winners I can tell in the first 3 mins of the interview. You see winners all have specific traits in common just as losers have theirs.”

From my observations which many may or may not share,
this business often attracts people with the least of amount of character, marketable skills and impulse control. For the sake of argument lets only take the lowest common denominator and ask where can someone with no education, talent or marketable skills make (net) well over $180.00 (figure is based on industry variances) an hour? This is NOT to say there are no smart, educated people with good souls in this business, there are. I hire them!

To mediocre minded I merely run an escort service. To them we provide a service they can get anywhere and from their model of the world this is true. Unfortunately, for those who share this belief system they do themselves a disservice. Dreams Escorts doesn’t begin with being just a service ladies and gentleman, Dreams Escorts is actually is the philosophical end result.

Let me explain.

Dreams is my vision of what an Agency should aspire to be. It is the result of an unwavering set of principles, which in turn is manifested by myself and the women who join me. This will in three years or less create the reality of being the respected dominant leader in the South Eastern PA, MD and DC upscale escort market. The Agency isn’t “the dream”, the dream is a direct result of my shared vision.
