I follow Kitten on twitter and think she’s pretty awesome. My biggest regret was never having the chance to see her at CMJ when she was available. Sucks because her screening process is too daunting for me to consider seeing her now. I’m not criticizing, I’m giving my feedback and yes I must move on. I wish her the best of luck and hope she makes a killing as an Indy.
This is my feeling too. Obviously she is free to do as she likes for screening, but I suspect that her requirements are almost unique in the industry and will be too much for many. Shit, when I buy socks at Mark's Work Wearhouse, I won't give them my postal code!
Regarding Brass and CMJ and their membership applications, I believe that the girls there believe that the business has all of the clients' personal information, and I know for a fact that this isn't accurate. They have "some kind of informattion" for sure, but the accuracy of it is questionable. I know IDs are not checked typically.
My concerns over this process don't really have to do with Kitten specifically (as I don't know her). My concern is that SWs seem to lose phones, get into dramatic situations, have insane roommates and boyfriends WAY more than your average person. While i might trust Kitten to keep my stuff safe, whose to say where that information may show up one day. My concern is more about my address and driver's license number etc.
This screening process that is done "on the spot" is also useless in terms of keeping her safe. It's only perhaps helpful if something happens to her and the police find a stack of "applications" with photos of licenses. Too little, too late. As someone posted on Twitter, screening that isn't done in advance is pretty much useless, Just guessing here, but I'm pretty sure if a guy harmed a girl in this situation, he'd be pretty sure to take his paperwork with him when he leaves.
All the same, I'm sure there are lots of guys that won't object. She looks great and seems like the real deal so I'm sure she'll stay busy! If her business is suffering, she can always modify her practices and it sounds like she already has to some extent.
