Stripes? They May Not Be the Type You Seek, BUT, an Interesting Idea Nonetheless
[QUOTE=Freshkoast]Hello, all,
I'm obviously new to this board, but I am very eager to contribute and earn some stripes. [/QUOTE]It is wonderful that you are so "eager to contribute, " but the best way to do that is to date SWs and give us all some useful intel about that in terms of reports and / or pics.
[QUOTE=Freshkoast]I'm new to the advanced mongering that this board is obviously on, but I have a idea that maybe would interest some of you on here.
About me: I'm a 25, black male with the "hood" look.
I'm interested in doing some upclose and personal recon work under the guise of "research for school". I still have my college I'd handy, and definitely have some money to throw around for compensation.
I'm willing to walk the K, take some pictures and ask some questions to the working women if this board thinks it would be usefull. Would this be interesting to anyone on this board? (if this doesn't interest anyone, il save my time and money. LOL) [/QUOTE]Your efforts might help identify SWs who have not been reviewed, or previously reviewed without pics. But I think you would be better served to travel the K by car to do so. You may have a "hood look, " but you are not immune from possible perils. In some ways I might even be safer than you if I were inclined to do this. I have seen drug activity come to a complete standstill when I appear on certain K corners. There is often an immediate assumption that I am undercover LE. I must look the part because I have heard that from numerous SWs who were absolutely unable to cop when I was in the vicinity, and most SWs that I pick up for the first time are very wary of the same.
Besides being safer, driving is also a lot more efficient for your purposes than walking IMHO. I also don't think the "interviews" would be of interest or help to many readers here. I think most just want to see and hear about the actual performance of good SWs to try, or mediocre / bad SWs to avoid.
I believe that you take some big risks walking the K to ask questions and take pics. Word would soon get around on this and who knows what bad dudes or gals or other dangers could befall you, not to mention the LE attention you might attract.
I prefer to take my pics in private. I admire that Street Steve gets a number of his pics on the "street" as might seem appropriate to his screen name. It helps identify many of the girls in their "natural habitat. " But, I am pretty sure he doesn't walk the stroll to do this.
I am writing a book, and part of that book is about my experiences on the K. More background information on the working girls on the Ave would be very useful to me in this regard. Pics would also be useful as illustrations. Without signed releases, however, the entries would have to be anonymous and pic-less. I know from discussions with many of the girls, that several of them would be pleased to tell their stories and sign releases for both the rights to publish their stories and pics. If you wanted to pursue your "contribution" in that way, then I think there are some interesting possibilities. Many readers here may not want "interviews" with SWs clogging up the threads dedicated to performance reports about them and pics of them. However, a separate thread for that purpose is a very interesting thought, and I would personally be very interested in such material, most especially if it came with signed releases.
RE: One of the best areas for SW I have ever seen.
[QUOTE= Dirty BJ]Let me start off by saying, I have lived in NJ, Brooklyn, Los Angles, Texas, Miami, and even in Juarez Mexico for a short time and the K may be #1 for at least quantity of SW. Miami and Juarez Mexico SW are the hottest but I must say the K provided the most I have ever seen.[/QUOTE]You won't get any arguments from us!
[QUOTE= Dirty BJ]I live in North Jersey so I don't get to Philly very often, I was at my parents house which is down near AC so I decided to check that out. AC sucked and was dead...[/QUOTE]I haven't checked out the AC SW action recently. There was a special on HBO about it. It led me to believe it is dead except for after dark, and that it was pretty expensive near the casinos (BP or CL type rates with mediocre-looking girls, bad attitudes and poor service), but one might be able to get K-type rates and services at the fringes of the stroll, far from the glitz of the casinos.
[QUOTE= Dirty BJ]... so I decided to then head across the state to Camden since I had been there one time and thought it was cool. I think my perception changed, Camden looks like a friggin bomb went off in it. There were many SW there but I was too damn scared I would be murdered if I parked on a side street.[/QUOTE]I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, and I actually think it is easier to avoid patrolling LE at night in Camden as opposed to the day. It certainly is much more difficult for them to target you as a visiting white monger, especially if you have tinted windows. However, we can't look past the fact that Camden has a very high crime rate, particularly robbery. I would be VERY careful about doing a parking date there either day or night.
[QUOTE= Dirty BJ]I decided to go and try to find the K. It did not take me long with the gps. Litterally as soon as I turned on to the street there were SW everywhere giving me the look. After driving up and down for like an hour I finally felt like it was time. I found one on a corner and sorry but I don't remember her name. She must have been in her early 20s and she was not bad at all. Found her at the end of the road near where the dunken dohnuts is. (I think that was what was near. Got a nice BBBJCIM and was not rushed. Loved it and will return in the near future and I will try to remember names.[/QUOTE]You have discovered what we experienced K mongers already know well: the Ave has a wide selection of SWs most hours of the day and night. (BTW, when were you trolling?) By the "end of the road" near where the DD is, I assume you mean near where the K intersects with Erie / Torresdale, as there is a DD there. It isn't really the "end of the road" as the K continues north for a while and eventually intersects with Frankford. But, that area is generally recognized to be the end point of the northern part of the stroll.
Your guess on the girl's age, no description, no pic, no name and no details of your encounter doesn't give us much to go on as far as useful intel is concerned. There are some mongers who don't think some or all of these little details are important. I don't happen to be one of them. But, it is so nice that you had a good time in our fair city. :)
I have to respectfully disagree.
A lot of times the street walkers look a little bit too street. Whether it's their clothes, looking strung out or out of place at a business hotel. From my experience as a business traveler I would use motels and always get a room that was down and out as they in the hotel business. That is a first floor, drive up room. In my Philly experience I used to stay at the Airport Towers / America's Best Value Inn and now known as the Skyview Plaza on Penrose. That was a wild place and generally anything could and would go on there. I also used to stay at the Holiday Inn on Packer and on a couple of occaisions I would send the girl in ahead on me so as not to draw attention to myslef going through the lobby. I would have the girl go the elevator and wait for me on whatever floor I was staying. This is when South Broad and the 10th Ave area, off of Oregon, were very productive.
[QUOTE=Love To Monger; 1079148]Most SWs would have no problem going back to your downtown hotel. However, you have to make sure that your hotel wouldn't frown on bringing her through the lobby if she looks too obvious. That's why a motel is often a better option.
This part doesn't really bother me. I treat the girls well. All your doing is walking through the lobby with a street walker. Most hotels have a side door that opens with your key. Only one time did I have to escort a girl through the lobby. Hold her hand and make the best appearance possible. Head high and all that. Act like you know. We know what we're doing and so does everyone else. Getting laid! As long as there is no drama at the hotel, the hotel employees don't care either. They are just trying to get through a shift without any hassle.
Stay Alert.
Stay Safe.
