Touring ladies are worthy of a look, but you have to be careful and picky. The top names are usually a great experience. However, if you are seeing them later in the day, as Mr. Customer #5 or in some case #10! :apologetic: then you may be in for an indifferent or even hostile experience. The first time I saw Vicky Vixen in Calgary, I was the first guy on the first day and it was superlative. My next and last visit with her was on her last day of a week long visit and I'd guess I was #3 or #4 that day and she was no longer into anything resembling a fun time. It was pure robot auto pilot and I swore never again.
The other thing that can cause me to take a pass is pure profiteering by the lady. Her rate in Montreal, 200, Toronto 300, Alberta 400 or 500. Sorry, but I will try to catch you at home, I am not paying that kind of premium. Vancouver is so bad with fake bookings and attacks from the local ladies and pimps that many touring folks just pass on it altogether.
As for the comments on the lady on lady drama (welcome Conway, congrats on your parole from hell, btw), there are very few ladies who can sustain a long time friendship with other providers, even at the high end. Competition is a fact of life, and I have seen even duo partners who are long-time friends fall apart over the "theft" of a regular or two. There are undoubtedly exceptions, but the ladies who fight are vicious, even evil creatures that are not to be trifled with. Outings are common, both on review boards and places like "the dirty" and other revenge sites. It goes without saying that the denizens on the blue board have elevated it to a science or nasty art form. It's a business after all, not a social circle. When you add in drugs, boyfriend/pimp issues, mental problems and ego, it can get bad, fast.
