Cristine. Agreed, it depends
[QUOTE=MBNewGuy;4324155]I used to see her regularly a few years back. Definitely YMMV, and even if you get excellent mileage, she can still be rather fickle. You can go from a solid GFE encounter (the view in 69 is spectacular) to being cut off on a whim. It's possible you'll go back and get GFE all the way, or she won't reply to your texts. Not sure what else to say.[/QUOTE]When she was on, she was fantastic. When she was fickle it was a very uneventful finish with no extras. Last I spoke to her she was going back home for 5-6 months.
Tapas Nailed It! Vivian Is Really Alice!
[QUOTE=Tapas;4323174]Just a hunch, but pretty good one![/QUOTE]I concur with Tapas' assessment. Submissive Vivian is really Alice.
I got suckered by Alice's advertised charms a few years ago and learned my lesson, never to repeat. But I must admit Submissive Vivian was beginning to entice me to open my wallet. That is. . . Until I saw one of the images she used in her Bedpage ad. I knew immediately she was, in fact, Alice.
My single experience with Alice started with texting to secure a one hour appointment and location of her AAMP. She seemed friendly and business-like. Scheduled a 5:00 PM appointment at her location in an apartment / condo complex close to Vienna Metro. Arrived on time and she talked me into the specific parking spot and apartment. Opened the door to a pleasant-looking Thai lady, roughly 30 ish in age / appearance. Massage table in a bedroom that was laden with shoe boxes and other clothing items. So, at least I knew where her money went. Massage was light and uninspired. She kept larding me with baby oil and talking about her ex-boyfriend from Switzerland when she lived in LA. Now, I do not mind a chatty masseuse, but please stop informing me of your love life woes! I want to escape my world when I go to a masseuse, not get bombarded by the details of failed relationships.
When the flip came there was an attempt to upsell. No sweet talk, no gentle touches and teasing; just more baby oil and a jackhammer. She then demanded a tip for her mediocre effort. I toweled off quickly and threw her an extra $20 just to shut her up.
Bottom Line: Alice / Vivian, or whoever she claims to be next week, is not worth your time, money, or aggravation. There are so many more friendly, professional, and reasonable AAMPs in NOVA to spend your hard-earned money and free time than that unskilled, talky grifter. Stay Away and maybe she will go away.
Flaky Eden Model and unresponsive BlueGems
In my previous post, I have documented that Eden Model is very flaky. I vow to never use them again last time. It's been a while and after seeing reviews about Sasha, I decided to try them one more time.
When making appointments on the phone, everything seems smooth. No extra questions asked. It got done fairly quick and a time was set. You would not suspect anything at this point. But with my last bad experience, I know this means nothing. I drove over with back up plan in place and with my mind set that if I don't go in within 10 min, I will bail immediately without wasting any of my time.
After I got to the apartment complex, alas, it happened again. They tell me to wait and I called them and tell them if I don't hear anything in 10 min, I will leave. They said they will go check with sasha and then went silent. I txt them and tell them my ultimatum again. They say they will check with Sasha again. At this point, I knew I had been flaked again, and so at 15 min over set time mark, I left.
Unfortunately, there is very little thing we mongers can do if providers / agencies are flaky. I really don't get it what would be their motives doing this. They gained nothing and it just pure bad business practice.
On a side note, BlueGems is no better than Eden. No one ever pick up the phone and answers in real time. It's always a grumpy voice asking you leave message. I usually never leave VM to avoid leaving any trace. This time, I decided to use Gvoice and went with their process. Only 2 hours later, I got a call with a caller I'd of unknown. But it's already way pass my schedule deadline, and I have made other appointments a long while back. I didn't even bother to pick up the call.
Lots of time, whether a monger can get good service from actual provider is already a wild roulette. If the agency or handler set another layer of barrier, it could totally ruin a monger's experience and I'd say this type of people should be totally avoided. Only PV place left is secret temptation, fortunately the guy at ST is always responsive and quite reliable.
