Blue Skies shining on me.
For many years I have enjoyed the DC spa scene, but, alas, it has been pretty much shut down. A friend from these boards suggested I look northward, and indeed it was a good idea.
I tried the Blue spot, and boy what a good time I had. In a nutshell:
Pros-The lady was as sweet as can be, the massage was simply great, I was there well over an hour (it was slow) , and I got all the services I asked for and wanted. At the end I got a ten minute head and scalp massage that left me floating.
Cons-No shower (I knew in advance and arrived clean) , thin shaky tables, and sort of odd location.
It is Chinese, a first for me, as my diet over the years has been purely Korean. Total damage. 1.7. Nice, very nice. I will repeat.
A reply from Baltimore city government.
A few weeks ago, I wrote Baltimore city government concerning legalizing sex work. Below is a reply from @baltimorecity.gov.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for your suggestion. Your inquiry landed on my desk and we reviewed email and did some research and some thinking. I appreciate your pragmatic approach. Attached are some thoughts about what you proposed regarding legalized sex work.
Legalized Prostitution.
Proponents of legalized prostitution fall into two camps. One favors legalizing and regulating prostitution similar to the brothel system allowed in 12 rural counties in Nevada. The other favors decriminalization of prostitution.
Nevada is the only location in the United States that allows any form of legalized prostitution. It is restricted to counties with populations under 400, 000 people. Prostitution remains illegal in large cities including Las Vegas, Reno and Carson City. Illegal prostitution is very prevalent in these areas. The Las Vegas Yellow Pages has 140 pages dedicated to escort services. The State Health Department regulates the legal brothels and requires monthly STD and HIV testing of the prostitutes but does not test customers and frequent infections occur among the women. The governments of the counties support the legalization because they are the greatest revenue generator for their counties. Brothel owners receive a higher percentage of profits than the female workers and many victims' rights advocates argue the system is state supported slavery.
There is also support for the decriminalization of prostitution. The main advocate for this approach, the ACLU, supports the decriminalization of prostitution and opposes state regulation of prostitution. The ACLU also condemns the abuse of vagrancy or loitering laws or licensing or regulatory schemes to harass and arrest those who may be engaged in solicitation for prostitution. While there are both male and female prostitutes, laws against prostitution most frequently refer to, or are applied to women. Despite the statutory stress on female prostitution, he ACLU's policy is applicable to prostitutes of both sexes. European countries have established the modern equivalent of 'red light districts' where commercial sex workers are allowed to practice their profession without interference from the police.
In Baltimore most commercial sex work is a symptom of the larger problems of substance abuse and poverty. The STD / HIV Outreach and the Harm Reduction Programs actively work with commercial sex workers to promote testing, increased condom use, needle exchange, and substance abuse treatment referrals. Testing is widely available through street outreach sites and in the jail. A commercial sex worker involved in street activity is more likely to receive Health Department services than those who utilize escort services and the internet.
Laurel, MD: Lilly's Spa. Kim: One of the worst experiences ever!
(Webmaster: Sorry if this is in wrong thread. Was not sure where to post.
Please move to correct thread, if this is not it.)
I am from out of town, and was the area recently, and went to Lilly's Spa in Laurel, MD.
It is in a shopping center, in a wide open location, with no discreet entrance.
It was one of the WORST AMP experiences I have ever had in my life.
I have no agenda, and no conflict of interest.
The mamasan who greeted me was rude and demanding. It was the mamasan's way or the highway.
The house fee was a high $70.
She required that I fill out a form, with my name address, phone number, and things like you fill out when you go to a doctor, about medical history. When that occurred, I should have left. Naturally, none of the info I supplied had any relation to me.
The mamasan said they did not have TS "because that was against the law." She told me they used to have one, but no more. When I heard that, I should have left.
There was a huge sign in the room "Tips are appreciated, but not required. No sexual activity occurs here."
I wonder how many times this place has been busted.
She gave me one of the first true lineups I have ever seen, and of 5 women, which the mamasan referred to by numnber, there were 2 very hot ones.
I chose number 4, Kim.
After that, it was all downhill.
While superficially attractive, Kim had one of the worst attitudes I have ever seen in an AMP provider.
We went to the stand-up shower (ugggh) , and Kim's idea of giving me a stand-up shower was holding the showerhead with a huge frown on her face, while, as she said "you do", meaning I wash myself.
I said to her, I'll hold the showerhead, and she should wash me. I did not think her frown / attitude could get any worse, but it did.
At that point, I asked her if there was any reason to continue.
She told me "You stop complaining!" I asked her to get the mamasan.
The whole standup shower lasted no more than 5 minutes.
I told the mamasan, there was no reason to be here with a pretty woman, with a huge frown on her face.
The only other hot woman from the lineup was now unavailable.
I went back to the room, and started to put my clothes back on.
The mamasan brought in another woman, who was not attractive at all.
I said politely "no thank you".
I said,"keep $20 or whatever you think is fair", and to my surprise, the mamasan returned with $50 (actually keeping $20.) I asked you are really going to keep $20 for a 5 minute shower.
An argument ensued, and "another mamasan" appeared who started screaming me at me, about how I was a bad person, and how I insulted everyone, by passing on them etc. She also said Kim helped wash me for 10 minutes, and then started to dial a number on her cell number.
I told the 2nd mamasan what I thought in full detail, and left.
This place is f'and horrendous, and the mamasans are horrible.
I go to these places occasionally to have a good time. When I go, I want the woman, I want, not who they give me, necessarily, and as bad as it sounds, I am not concerned about the providers feelings who I pass on.
I'm sure they will bounce back from the rejection.
I will be back in town in a few weeks, and definitely won't go near this place.
One the worst AMP experiences ever!
We need the Block restored to its former glory
[QUOTE=Drofnalb; 1164211]The answer is obvious and if a debate took place legalized sex work would win.
This would provide Baltimore with a LARGE new source of income and revitalization. The city would instantly become a global destination for high end sex work.
Right now, Baltimore city is NOT a hot spot for high end sex work but this could change.
Imagine the empty warehouses and row homes becoming new high end spas, clubs, and sex hotels.
The plan would be to decriminalize the indoor variety with commercial areas zoned for the activity, the outdoor variety within red light districts.[/QUOTE]When you look at all the damn hotels they keep building in Baltimore, producing such an enormous glut in housing supply that you see for lease / for rent signs *everywhere, someone at City Hall has to figure out that we need a decriminalized sex industry to fill up these empty hotel rooms.
In the 1950s it was fashionable for celebrities to cruise the Block. The City should take the brass knuckles off and embrace the Block, making it a likely destination for the conventioners that they have been trying to bring in with all the hotels that have been built.
Maybe it is time to start an e-mail campaign
[QUOTE=Drofnalb; 1164211]There were 3@baltimorecity. Gov addresses on my CC. I left them off this report as a sign of respect. But the reality is as follows:
This would provide Baltimore with a LARGE new source of income and revitalization. The city would instantly become a global destination for high end sex work.[/QUOTE]I think maybe just maybe if enough of us write the city government we could change their thought process. We all remember what the block was at one time. It has really gone down hill since I moved into the city just 4 yrs ago. I am sure the city is missing some of the revenue that they once had by changing their regulations on parking along Baltimore St. And the surrounding streets. If they are so worried about drugs then park the ATF van on Gay St that certainly cleaned up the block of drug salesmen, or better yet legalize it and enjoy the increase revenue by taxing the products. Maybe this would improve the quality of street drugs at a cheaper cost.
So Gentlemen and your friends, start writing the City representatives and expressing your opnion. Just look at the change in the federal governmnet made since new political activist started pushing their opinion. One would be surprised the effect of a few letters can make on government officals Give me back my liberty.
My advice: Read the appropriate forum
A few things about your experience: $70 is the average cost in Howard County, TS aren't allowed in Howard County, and reading the appropriate forum (in this case Jessup) would have provided all this information all more about the AMPs including Lily's. I can't speak for the mamasan's attitude if it was in fact rude to begin with, but your getting upset about misunderstand what is / isn't the norm in HoCo didn't help the situation.

Is Blue Sky Health Closed?
Yesterday it was locked up, no one answering the phone. Shoot! If it is. I just found it.
I just came back from here on Monday.
I am noticing more part time work, especially among my regulars.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tried 18 in the District, but they said they had a water problem and were closed for the night.
Tried 2nd in the District, but no answer.
Called for Cookie in HC, she was off that day.
Called for Toni in HC, she was also off.
Called for Kelley in HC, but I was not interested in breast relief that night.
Called ML in BC, asked for new girl, as I was driving up heard she would be busy for the next 30 mins.
No choice but to go to BlueSky, a place I generally try to avoid as I do not think they offer the full spa experience.
Saw Coco, who I have seen 2 times before, she runs the place and is as cold as ice. I tried to hint to her that I would prefer one of her employees, but no luck. She just got back from China where she spent 45 days and was in one hell of a good mood. She once took part in a double team on me (her and her employee vs me, I lost).
Anyways, she worked well and gave nice service. Left $70 for the house $80 for service. She seemed happy, I just don't know how to tell her that I do not think of her as a provider, she is management and too cold to be sexy.
[QUOTE=Smiling Fox; 1165901]Bluesky closed for repairs.
Open on Fri. God can I wait that long.
For a good massage.
