Well, the day that the world was supposed to end has now come and gone and I believe that it’s about time that we lay it all on the table and look ahead to the days ahead into the realities of post C-36.
Over the years many of you have met me at the various industry parties, spoken to me over the phone for one reason or another or you know me personally. For those who might be new and don’t know me, the one common denominator that you would establish from all who do know me is that I am a straight up, no bullshit, tell it how it is and how I see it, shoot from the hip kind guy. That can’t be disputed. And as the operator of one of Canada’s (not just Toronto’s ), but Canada’s, largest and most reputable agencies, we are considered by many, as being industry leaders. I have more than a few years of experience in this industry as well as operating in the USA where it is much more illegal in all aspects than here in Canada. The states is booming busy even with their stricter laws.
We didn’t start planning for this day just last week. No, on the contrary, Mirage along with some other popular and reputable agencies (friends of mine), have been on the go dealing with this for over a year now. Yup, from day one when this law was first introduced as a bill. And I’m sure even the agencies that I am not familiar with, along with the most reputable SPAs have been working feverishly all year to prepare as well. We have had countless meetings, spoken to many industry experts, law enforcement officials, politicians and many many lawyers, including some that were the key lawyers in the Bedford decision. We have spent an enormous amount of time, effort and needless to say…….money, educating ourselves so that we can continue to serve our amazing group of ladies, and our loyal client base in a safe, discreet post C-36 environment.
Changes. As some of you might have noticed, many agencies and SPAs have now cleaned up their websites. Photography has been toned down (no more patented Mirage snail pussy shots lol ), no reference to escorting, no references to sexual services or services available. It’s the new reality going forward, but we will all cope. New clients to agencies will just have to do their own research as to service levels, you will not be given any response to sexually explicit questions in emails, texts or over the phone. If you are a regular and or loyalty member and my phone staff has dealt with you before, is comfortable with you, they will be a little more entertaining to you.
The industry has now changed. The ladies at Mirage do not work for us. They are all freelance independent contractors. They choose their own schedules and set their own fees. WE WORK FOR THEM. They advertise on our website, and we provide security and accommodation for a fee if needed. We are no longer an escort agency, amongst many different divisions of our company, we are a companion referral and security service. EACH AND EVERY SERVICE THAT WE PROVIDE THE COMPANIONS IS OFFERED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. We are a multi service entertainment company and have amalgamated all of our companies under one umbrella and ON A NEW WEBSITE. ( KUDOS TO FEMME FATALE, amazing job)
Safe guards for your privacy and discretion. ALL of the staff here at Mirage are either family, very close friends of mine or have been employed here since the very beginning, DAY ONE. It is a very close, tight knit group of the best and most experienced in the industry. We have one central booking landline. No individual cell phones that store texts, emails, etc. to clients. At the end of each shift, all info on the phones that we communicate with the girls with are erased.
, IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF OUR PHONE RECORDS BEING SUBPOENAED BY THE POLICE AND YOUR NUMBER WAS TO SHOW UP IN THE RECORDS……… DON’T WORRY………… BECAUSE OF OUR NEW BUSINESS MODEL AND NEW WEBSITE……… YOU CALLED US TO BOOK A LIMO, BOOK A CORPORATE EVENT HOSTESS, ENQUIRE ABOUT A STAG FOR A FRIEND, HAVE SECURITY NEEDS, OR EVEN RENT AN APARTMENT FROM US. WE DO MUCH MORE THAN PROVIDE COMPANIONSHIP. WE PROVIDE ALL SERVICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. WE ARE MIRAGE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION.
We still require a contact number to make bookings. At the end of the day, if your booking went smoothly, we will delete your number. If you were an asshole and we consider you dangerous, we will keep your info for the security of the ladies. Should you want to join our loyalty program, we will give you a code, or note the last 4 digits of your number, the choice is yours.. Some of the guys that hobby use disposable burner phones for added piece of mind.
Agencies have had great value, we served a purpose. Especially to law enforcement. Over the years I have put a couple of pimps in jail ( had myself and my family threatened by them afterwards), co-operated with police with missing ,run away girls, sheltered girls from abusive relationships, gave them free shelter until they got back on their feet, and helped set one that was trafficked FREE. Agencies work very closely with law enforcement, we keep the girls safe, off of the streets, and in the end, that’s their biggest concern. Over the years the police have visited our incalls to check up on the girls, the police know me by name and have even been to my home. They know me well and how I operate my business.
TRAC (thereputableagencycouncil.com)……… I’m very pleased to announce a new organization that was set up by a group of reputable agency owners and myself to monitor our industry and to have an outlet for companions or clients to voice their concerns about their agencies and to get issues resolved fairly by an independent counsel.
Honestly, I had no clue what the first couple of days post C-36 would be like, but yesterday was busier than ever and today is no different than any other Sunday in terms of phone calls or bookings. Clients are still calling in to join the loyalty program. I have been hearing the same from some reputable SPAs and other agencies as well. Even with all the fear mongering and hearsay on the boards, it seems that guys have been reading the tons of articles from the press about this new law and have realized that it is a very unpopular law with not only many cities across Canada, but with many police services as well. This law is stupid, self-serving, and unconstitutional and will put many women at risk. This hobby has always been illegal, it was even illegal to have been found in a common bawdy house. Yet was never enforced…….. for the same reasons, that in my opinion, it’s not gonna be enforced any differently now.
Bottom line guys, do your own research, don’t listen to agency/Spa owners that have a monetary business interest in all of this, or listen to doomsday/it’s the end of the hobby types. Chances are very real these guys don’t even hobby anyway. Assess your own risk tolerance level with your own personal situation and make your own decision as how to proceed…. if at all………….. or just sit back and wait until you are comfortable again. As always………….happy hobbying
