They're in the same building as Rachelli. I saw this ad: [URL]http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/tlg/5727024646.html[/URL] and the wording and placement (Gigs) seems to leave open the possibility of extras <? It's looking for females and doesn't mention CMT and you need to have a car Outcalls.[/QUOTE]If you follow the Facebook link, Rachelli posted an ad as a visitor. I've visited her once but didn't receive any extras. Others have noted it's available but I didn't ask outright.

I've seen Rachelli a couple of times I did get a finish, BUT she was not at all interested in doing it which totally killed the mood. She said that one or two of her former girls opened their own massage biz in the same building on the first floor. I dunno Rachelli's is "Adore Essence" [URL]https://www.facebook.com/Adore-Essence-Massage-Spa-227988527582044/[/URL].

What was her name. Maria? I'm about 99% sure it's the "Selling Skills Not Thrills" girl.

Well, I was about 10 minutes into my 60 minute session with my all time favorite when the door bell rings. The MT answered the door and whoever it was asked if I was there. Full name, said he was a friend of mine. Even pronounced my name correctly. MT switched to Chinese and asked him "you want massagee? You want massagee", even tried getting him in a room. After a few minutes of that conversation the guy got frustrated and left. I finished my session and went out the back door. Think I should look for a new favorite?

If a monger asks for me by name, I'm going to see who it is, so are you saying you didn't do that?

As long as it is not your SO or uncle LEO hope you just laid back and had a good time, although I can see why you would be a little freaked out. If it was a friend you will probably find out eventually.

When the MMS tried to get him to a room for a masagee he couldn't get out fast enough. Not a monger.

Racheli (Adore Essence) and Maria (Soul Body Mind) used to work together but they had a falling out. Now Racheli (Adore Essence) opened her place upstairs. She is an odd girl but give a decent massage no extras to speak of. She has another girl working there that posts on Craiglist (Gina) . Her massages are awful and she just talks about her problems with her 5 dogs the entire time.

The office on the first floor is mainly Latin girls Maria (not her real name) is the boss. If you are looking for an amazing massage book with their office. (Soul Body Mind) Once again you won't get any extras they had a girl in the past that went that way but she left back in March. You will leave there with an amazing massage needing a cold shower after. I would take a real massage from them over an AMP any day. Just wish there was a little bit more.

Side not first time poster long time monger. Haha.

I know this is dated, but has anyone run across GiGi or Sue who worked at Pine? I haven't found suitable substitutes since they left, and would like to connect again.

But if it's something like $80 door plus another $20 tip or whatever, I may pass since that is higher than my other legit places.

Since it was close to my office, thought I would take a chance. Average looking middle age Chinese women, good massage, no hint of more. $65 [URL]https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/thp/5766982566.html[/URL].

Same ad as you-spa uses. Sounds like yet another location.

Total legit place.

OK. I've seen someone put the norm at $40 for happy and up to $100 for FS. As if that ever happens.

I'm thinking the going happy rate may be closer to $60 if a quality experience w mutual touch encouraged, and $40 only if it's mechanical.

The question is, what if a MT surprises you (dreamt this) and throws in a BBJ with the handshake without you asking for it? A nice surprise in my dream, but wouldn't know what to tip. Figured if it ever happened I'd go $70?

Enough rambling. Need to do a re-ranking of "best of lake county" soon.

I always stick to the same tip criteria. 1. $10 good legit massage 2. $40 tug 3. $80 lip service 4. $100 FS. For exemplary service, roaming, or hot little spinner, then you will return. For a bad experience pay the standard and never return!
