perhaps you all have a different view of the word legend,
maybe a more appropriate word would be extraordinary?? [see defn below, see esp. the text i bolded].
in my experiences, some of the positively extraordinary woman have been mentioned and some have not yet been mentioned... [in no particular order]
dragonfly, fawnda, ms foster, lexy laye, jenna, indefinable ms. m, sirena dfw, natasha fame, ivy chick, italiana passion, stiletto kitty, tnt kelly, sam milone, dharma, loving kayla, vnurse, sloan mischief, bobbie [from june's tan & dallas spa]
what sets all these women apart, in my book, from the many women i have consulted with over the years is their down-to-earth-ness, their amiability, their total engagement in the consulting session, their willingness to experiment with techniques and/or boundaries, their acceptance [or at least tolerance] of my quirks and their incredible and specific skills!
legend? probably not, since i HAVE ascertained some truths about them that are NOT exaggerated or romanticized!
extraordinary? definitely!!
beautiful? yes!
gorgeous? "dont push it pig!" [joan rivers to ms. piggy in "the muppet movie"]

A "legend" in a provider sense, would have to have a few qualities, not in any order:
Consistent over and beyond "service" skills, through reviews and/or first hand knowledge
Absolutely no YMMV, nor "going through the motions" sessions
Consistency in being dependable, there when you need/want her
No drama while is session, just making sure the hobbyist is her world for the time he is there and treats him like he is a king, not a wallet
I am sure there are many other factors, but IMO, these are the top 4 qualities.
