beggers can be choosers
clems,
cruise through some websites for pics. you'll get a vague idea of what they look like, unless they've squared out theri faces. going by recommendations on boards like this is like asking someone if they like hondas, toyotas or nissans better. everyone has their own tastes in looks and yours might not be the same as others.
speaking from experience, if you opt to go for the knockout lookers, you're going to pay through the nose, plus the service might be very generic.
if you go for someone who's good looking but not the stunner, you might get lower prices and better service.
it's all about relationship building here too. if you find someone you're comfortable with, then when you've been with them a few times, service tends to improve much as well.
as for recommendations, 2cums is right... go to an MP where you can view the lineup before diving in. usually if you don't see anything you like, you can just leave.
asians aren't really my type either, but sometimes i do have a hankering for chinese takeout.
