A bit of a rant, I suppose . . .
What I really miss about the Escape/Wildflower era was the depth and breadth of the short-notice options. A quick peek at the websites and you were on your way. Now, you've got to plan at least a day in advance unless you're an established client, and even that is no guarantee. And if you post something in the ISO forum, watch out for the stampeding herd! It is counter-intuitive, but the size of a girl is apparently inversely proportionate to the time it takes her to respond to an ISO. (I can just imagine the Cheeto-dust flying as her fat little orange fingertips dance across the keyboard, typing, "Pick me! I'm available!") If anyone has a short-notice system that (a) includes new talent (i.e., not ATF's and regulars) and (b) provides reasonable, uh, "desirability parameters" of the sort prized by the shallow male, I'd love to hear about it.
One thing that compounds this problem is the absence of accurate information regarding a provider's location. I realize there are some competing interests here and a provider cannot state her actual address in an ad, but holy fuck . . . neither the "Galleria" nor "Hobby" stretch out (in opposite directions) to the Sam Houston Tollway. And what the fuck is "Southwest"? Apparently the southwest quadrant of the entire State of Texas as measured from the intersection of Main and Congress (just like the original Houston Wards). Information that is just a bit more precise would be significantly more helpful, particularly when a client's time is limited.
I hope no one is offended (Ha! fat chance of that . . . pun intended), but I'm obviously pissed off on a rainy afternoon when I can't find any pussy inside the Loop (that's the 610 Loop, not the Grand Fucking Parkway!).
