~*~ HAVE YOU SEEN ME (or any SP) OUT AND ABOUT? ~*~

[Cami Parker]

I agree with you. I think that's most polite. I know I wouldn't mind, but I also know I'm in the minority. That's why if I did see anyone, Like BJ said, I wouldn't aknowledge them, for the same reasons you mentioned. I just would feel bad if I missed someone trying to aknowledge me, I guess...but we all know I'm a complete anomaly. :high5:

I go by the rule of not making any acknowledgement that I know an SP in public Cami. The privacy and personal risk seem too high to think about greeting a lady in public when she may have family or friends in the vicinity.

 

[Cami Parker]

I KNOW RIGHT!?! It's like "why are you so angry at me, just because you can't be bothered??" Nothing to be angry and jealous about. And funny when people don't want to make the effort to look nice but they have no issue with the effort it takes to walk around being pissy at other women. Anyone can throw on some make up and heals, it's not hard... I think all women are like art, meant to decorate the world with our beauty... nothing wrong with enhancing your natural beauty! I like to call it decorating myself". You wouldn't want a Christmas Tree without Ornaments, regardless of how beautiful the tree is, because then it's just boring...
I appreciate your insight very much. So glad I'm not the only one! Your ex and I would probably be great friends...

I know what Cami means by that and if you have been outside of North America you will notice as well.
In Europe and Asia it's common for women to wear outfits like they are out to a fancy restaurant or clubbing such as high heels, make-up when going out for shopping.
Here it's all about comfort and much less concern about looking good.
Have noticed women noticing my girlfriend/ex-wife when she is nicely dressed and almost jealous/angry that she went thru the trouble to look good while they have runners/yoga pants on.

...So have you ever seen me, or any other SP out in public?...

I'm sure that I have seen any number of SPs out in public, but if you mean "did I recognize them?", nope. Would I recognize an SP whom I had seen professionally? Probably not, actually. However, if I were to see a lady out and about in Vancouver dressed as you describe yourself, Cami, I might wonder if it were you, simply because as you mention, not many Vancouver women do dress that way.

Coming from Paris... I have to agree it's sad to not see that many women make an effort to look "put together" before going out the door. It doesn't matter where I'm going, I see it as a sign of respect towards myself and others to look like I took the time to get ready... Plus, because it's not usual around here that a woman would wear a pencil skirt, heels and lipstick to go get coffee, I get lots of attention... I like it!!!

Cannot wait for my photoshoot tomorrow!!! A sample of the outfits I would typically wear - in public and in private

 

[Cami Parker]

You know what?? I would REALLY love that!!!! I kind of miss being approached by friends and fans. Very common in the States, not at all here.

If I saw you in public. First off I would have to pick my tounge up off the ground. Second I would say hi! Introduce myself and say what a fan I am!! Then I would whisper in your ear all the things no one needs to hear!��������

 

[Cami Parker]

You took the words right out if my mouth. It's all about respect for yourself and others. We should totally go for coffee sometime, I bet we'd cause quite a stir! :eyebrows:

I remember seeing a regular SP at a computer store. We said hi as we met and I helped her with a laptop she wanted to buy.
Then she asked me if I had time to set it up for her. I said in a quiet voice YES but i work better if we are naked.
She then winked and gave me the little head shake stating Lets Go.
Her place was only 1/2 block away. So off we went.
Many things were done beside her Laptop...

When I was working in 2011 I had an old boss visit me not knowing it was me. Lol. Probably the funniest work story. Immediately both of our hands flew to our mouths as I was standing in lingerie and he was holding a bottle of wine. "Omg" was our mutual response. Followed by "You're looking good" from him and "How's the family" from me. My mind was working on overdrive and I actually think I would have been ok with it but he handed over the wine and left. I think it could have been hot!!

After I left the business I saw him once walking downtown; he was with his wife, I was with a girlfriend. We locked eyes, exchanged a little smile, and kept walking.

I also saw another gent while I was out of the business. I was sitting in a parked car on W 4th and he was getting into the car in front of me. He didn't see me.

And then yesterday I crossed paths with a long time client while walking to an outcall downtown. I recognized him first and it was nice to see his face brighten up when he saw me. We smiled and kept walking.

I have no idea how many times I've been seen. Would people even recognize me?

A smile and/or nod would be the appropriate response. I would not be cool if someone approached me and I would never.

I don't have any fashion sense whatsoever - probably because my parents were very conservative, and my mother picked what clothes I was supposed to wear every day until I was eleven. When I was finally allowed to choose my own clothes, I'd usually get sent back to my room after being told, "you're not going out of the house dressed like that!".

Part of my 'disguise', has been to 'dress down' so clients wouldn't easily recognize me when I'm out in public.

OMG I have seen you dressed down and my heart just races.
I sure hope you know CPR if I ever meet you all dressed up..

 

[Cami Parker]

That's FANTASTIC!!!! OMG I LOVE THAT STORY!!!

See everyone? Oppress your daughters and they will surely become SP's! :nod: I've heard similar stories so many times...

I've been to most major cities in Europe, Canada and the US, as well as numerous other urban areas.
I've seen many beautiful people well dressed and well groomed, going about their daily lives.
I've seen many more "regular folks" as well going about their lives, dressed as they see fit.
Vancouver doesn't stand out to me to be really any worse or better than any of these places on average.
I'm not an apologist or White Knight when it comes to Van City, nor do I have a thin skin when it comes to how the rest of the world views this town.
I do think that any so-called "sloppy Vancouver girl" stereotype is complete BS.
I guess whenever I've seen a gorgeous blond dressed to kill and made up, picking out a muffin at Starbucks at 7 AM, that's been you Cami!
Thank you for taking the time to make yourself presentable for us.

I delivered a presentation to some bank staff. As I got back into my car to drive home, I get a text. Was that you, Alex? Turns out the Assistant Manager was a client who hadn't seen me recently, and he'd just sat through my presentation. Yes, he came by my place the next day.

In one week, I saw a semi-regular client in two different locations, Chapters, and Whole Foods. Both times, we discretely chatted. He dropped by later that week.

I have seen a few ladies in the West End (not you yet, Cami) and I haven't said Hi, because I don't know if they'd be cool with it!
I've seen clients out and about a dozen+ times; it's usually just an acknowledgment nod.

 

[silenceisgolden]

In my old review of Simone in Yaletown, I briefly mentioned the only time I had seen an SP in public that I had previously visited: "About two days after our session I walked past her on the street, and we exchanged knowing smiles--she's the kind of girl that can pull that off and be cool doing it."

 

[pill49]

Sadly I've only ever seen one SP walk by as I waited at a traffic light. She seemed even more charming in real life and it totally made my day knowing that I also knew her so much more intimately. But, at the same time I did wonder if she would have wanted me to acknowledge her.

As for the "Sloppy Vancouver Girls" -
I LOVE THEM !! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
I'm in love with their natural beauty. The care free, confident, the radiating of a plain simple love of life. Women, girls in sweat tops, oh, so sexy tights of all shades, cute runners, hot boots, hair tossed into a crazy bobbing bun, some make up, no make up, jogging, strolling, shopping, walking dog, pushing baby carriage - all radiating a Vancouver-West-Coast kind of natural beauty and freedom.

In comparison, the European or other big cities etiquette makes me grinch. People confined to self proclaimed dress codes and proper make ups. Instead of admiring them I tend to feel sorry for their imprisonment.

Amen !! I too have seen and admired so many different women out there in the world and its far more about the energy they give off than what they are wearing that makes them beautiful.. mothers with their kids ( for example) wearing plain t shirts and worn out jean shorts who running around in parks fabulously filthy happy and glowimg while playing with their kids. Absolutely beautiful women !!!!

Theres an undeniable glow that radiates off of a woman when shes truley happy. That glow that moment and what ever it is that shes doing captures her beauty. Wheather shes picking up a news paper.. or elbow deep in dirt in her garden.. men appreciate women and see beauty in women in so many ways we dont even realize ourselves. If you are truley content and happy in life you can wear a garbage bag and still look beautiful to someome. Hell you domt even need to be a happy girl in that garbage bag for a man to think you are beautiful. Beauty and the word BEAUTIFUL the entire concept of it all is so deep and complex with so many opinions that it acuals exisist in everything and everyone at every moment at all times. It all all boils down to who is looking.

As for being noticed well personally as odd as It sounds I like to think that no one looks twice ! That no one will ever stare too hard and think -- is that her ?
Im sure some clients have noticed me out and about however I think that I might stand out more during the spring & summer as I hybernate more during the winter and fall.. I also enjoy wearing less clothes during the summer. Not because Im purposely trying to get attention, while I am well aware of the attention ill get but because I like wearing less. I like the sun on my skin the warmth.. .. During the fall and winter I like to be warm and comfortable.

Over all I think that men would notice me more than other sps as I think that other sps would be too invloved and busy with their own civilian lives to be plucking me out of the crowd. Unless they are playing spot the hooker of course while causally chatting over lunch ( I dont think Im the only one whos played that game ! fess up ) I believe I have seen 2 sps out and about on a regular basis but I wont say who

Hi Claire Monet:
I think there are a few men who would have reacted the same way your old boss did. There are a few girls that have worked for me over the years that I had a crush on but never made advances towards. If one of them became an SP and I accidentally booked her, I just wouldn't have gotten the image I had of her back when she worked for me out of my head nor the respect I gave her by not making the pass at her back then. Strange as it seems, I value the individuals who work for me so much so that making a pass at any of them would be putting them in an uncomfortable situation regardless if they had a crush on me as well. So meeting them later in the SP / Client role would require that same respectful act. Your old boss had a lot of class and was just showing you great respect

You know what's totally unbecoming? This post.

You know what's even less 'becoming'?
People spamming the board, CONSTANTLY inundating the lounge (and bumping archaic reviews) in a shameless attempt at self-promotion :/
We have ads for that, no?
If people want to open threads whereby it is blatantly obvious (to anyone with an IQ above room temperature) that their primary and ONLY objective is to cast a line with the intention of replying to the ensuing posts in a manner that accomplishes NOTHING but to pump their own tires? - perhaps such people could do us all a favour and modify the title of said threads to reflect this, so as to not drag other ladies through the mud while they sit at their laptop all day telling everyone how amazing they are.
Call me crazy, but one might speculate that such AMAZING providers would likely be too busy attending to their MANY adoring clients to carve out such a massive amount of time each day starting and replying to overtly self-promoting threads?

I wont say who but i have quite a few sp's around downtown at clubs,gyms,coffee shops,malls and robson st...no big deal imho
