Lounging Around!
Hey Queenie, I would think working a hotel bar, upscale or no, could be fraught with all sorts of dangers, from LE to less than gentlemanly chance meetings!
Personally, I think the face to face bar pick-up, pardon the crassness, while allowing an SP to be selective based on looks, does not afford her the opportunity to really know who she is dealing with!
There is no screening process and such action would put the lady at just as much risk as the street walker!
That's how I sees it!!
Willywants (to see all the ladies stay safe!)

Willywants (to see all the ladies stay safe!)
A lady I know used to work in upscale downtown hotel lounges. She found it worked very well, the guys were polite and would approach her. It is relatively safe for the SP because she would only go to the room of a guest, so the hotel has his ID, so he is unlikely to misbehave. She never had any trouble.
4 seasons
Interesting comment Diane. I love the 4 Seasons lounge, the one in the back as oppossed to the small one right in the lobby in view of the front desk. However, I haven't tried working it, YET. I've had luck at the King Edward and the Royal York (Americans who felt the need to spend American cash!). You'll have to let me in on your 4 Seasons secret.
I appreciate Willywants safety concerns, they apply at all times, but as C Dick said, guests at the hotel are registered under their own name and usually aren't looking for trouble, rather the opposite. That's also the beauty of the barside screening, which is sometimes easier than walking into a room cold and not knowing what to expect. And I always have someone who knows exactly where I am and expects a phone call within a specified time. The real problem with the whole thing is that it's a hit and miss affair as far being in the right place at the right time.

Q.
whooshing
Good advice Diane. I've always been a whoosher, even though I'm not considered tall by conventional standards. Heels are de rigueur for my whooshing. But I'm taking your scarf advice to heart and thinking of the colour scarlet--I think it helps accentuate the whooshing. And who knows, scarves may become the secret international signal between the lounge SP and the "lonely businessman." Look what the rainbow did for the gay community.
Anon, I'm leaving town tonight for the holidays.
Whooshingly,

In the 30's & 40's in England the "signal" was the ladies wore a pair of silver foxes(the stole ,not the live animals!) over their shoulders.
My mother had a pair but was not from England. When she went there & realized what it meant to wear them she tried her damnedst to "lose " them but people kept running up to her to return them! Finally she put them in the incinerator of the hotel!
