LOOK on the top line. PHOTO GALLERY IS BACK!
Just noticed that the photo gallery is back.
Might be a few days until all of the glitches are worked out, but IT IS BACK!

[url]http://www.usasexguide.info/forum/fileslist.php[/url][/QUOTE]When the software on this website was updated, a lot of people were squealing like the proverbial stuck pig about the missing photo gallery. I wasn't one of them, and it wasn't because I didn't think the photo gallery was a useful thing to have. I figured that this website was going to be what it was going to be, and complaining about it wasn't going to change much. Besides that fact, I have my own private pic gallery both in what I publish here and what I have privately. 90% of the other pics on here that are worthwhile looking at are taken by a handful of mongers, and I already know who they are.
HOWEVER, I would still contend, as I have said before, that most of the pics in the gallery fall into the following categories: 1. Out-of-focus and / or long-range street shots of unidentified girls, some of whom may or may not be SWs, and so what if they are; they are just public eye candy and the pics are of little value in the way of intel as to names or performance. I posted just two public eye candy pics in my Jersey thread this past summer, and there was an uproar about it, even though I clearly indicated she wasn't a SW, and they were taken from the rear. It just goes to show you that when you are a big target you attract a lot of "envy shrapnel" even though others may be doing the same or far worse. 2. Advertising by internet girls. 3. Commercial photos (there are a LOT of these). 4. Photos that are way too tiny to see and aren't worth opening (the gallery should show the dimensions of a photo; it would save a LOT of unnecessary time bothering to open these). 5. Self-taken amateur pics. 6. Joke photos.
If I want to gawk at hot pictures there are FAR better on line sources for that. As a monger, there is relatively little useful I can glean from the photo gallery. If I want to find real SWs in other cities, with a few exceptions, SW pics are posted very few and far between. If I want to find real SWs right here in Philly and Camden, we have one of the most well documented pic collections of any city in the country, but about half of that in terms of number of SWs, reports and pics are already contributed by yours truly.
So, the bottom line is that having the photo gallery or not having the photo gallery is not a big deal to me. It is nice to have, but it could be a lot better in many ways, just like many aspects of this website could be better. I have made such suggestions in the past both publicly and privately, but after your recommendations seem to fall on deaf ears at a 100% rate, the effort soon loses its appeal. I have endlessly appealed to have a SW index back, and even volunteered to administer it. Hearing zero response on this over and over, I finally decided to do what needs to be done when you are trying to get someone to do something and they don't do it: you do it yourself. So, I created my own alphabetic index by year and by stroll to every SW report and pic series I have ever done. I am thinking of doing the same regarding different subjects I have written about here, because it has accumulated into quite a body of work.
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.

You are absoiutely correct
I cannot disagree with taking the utmost concerns for security. My point was that no problems were caused by bringing a street walker to my nice hotel. If I could have avoided parading her though the empty lobby at two am, I would have. The very attractive desk clerk looked at as as scum, but. Hey we caused problems. No noise, no traffic, no disturbance. Neither of us were high, drunk, or disruptive. All they can get me for these days is driving while overweight. I'm getting older. So what if my girlfriend looks a little shaggy? That just IMHO.

Embedding ONE Large Pic as an Attachment to a Report
I have had numerous members PM me as to how to do this. I hope this proves to be helpful instruction in this regard:
To embed just ONE large image with a post:
Left Click "Manage Attachments" per usual.
Left click the tab at the top right with the green circle with a plus sign in it that says "Add Files"
At the bottom right hand corner of the pop-up that appears is "Basic Uploader; " left click on that; you will get the familiar looking "Browser" box for adding an image from your computer.
Add the image you want and left click "Upload"
The image will show up in the "Attachments" area at the bottom of the page (if you add more than one pic to the attachments section, they will show up as icons with titles attached to your post; just selecting ONE pic will attach it as a large image to your post)
Left click "Done"
Proceed as usual to submit your post.
The image should appear as a large embedded one with your post
Thanks. Now help viewing embedded?
Thank for that education on posting embedded pitures!
Now can you tell me how I might adjust the settings such that I can see the embedded pictures without having to click on them and open a new window? I guess it would be the same thing that lets me see thumbnails in the posts. Something I lost recently.
I guess I'm a bit "challenged" in this regard! Oops!

Embedding and Viewing Pics
[QUOTE=Cephlapod Love;1079435]Thank for that education on posting embedded pitures![/QUOTE]You are welcome.
Just call me Professor Super, LOL.
Fbtom even sent me a funny cartoon about this that I previously posted:

I guess I'm a bit "challenged" in this regard! Oops! [/QUOTE]There are, unfortunately, no "settings" to adjust. When multiple pics are attached to a post, no thumbnail images appear as with the old software, but rather just icons that show they are pics, the title of each pic and the number of views. Maybe there is a further software enhancement in the works for showing multiple pic attachments as thumbnail images like before and maybe not. I don't know. I would imagine that a useful feature like this can be added, but we shall see.
The new software does have a handy feature of showing an alphabetic index of pics under each thread, which you can access by left clicking on the attachment icon (the paper clip) on each thread. That is a reason I have started to label each pic beginning with the SW's name, then a number, then a description of the pic so that you know the content of each pic both in each post and in the index before you click on it to view it. Of course, you also have the indexes I have created with links to every one of my SW reviews and pic sets, alphabetically by stroll and by year, complete with my overall ratings of each SW and a description of what is in each pic set.
Jenn RE: Money Shot Contest Winner
[QUOTE=Supereloquent;1076004]Sometimes the front-runner stays the front runner. There wasn't a "waterfall" of interest in the contest, but the pic that started the whole idea of the contest in the first place got the most votes: Jenn's "waterfall" money shot.[/QUOTE]Super,
Jenn's "waterfall" pic is awesome. Since your first review of her I've been watching for her. I finally found her tonight. I was cruising around 6:30 just north of the 7/11 and had to stop for a light. She crossed in front of me and I saw it was Jenn. We made eye contact and I pointed up the side street, where she then waited for me. She was starting to introduce herself, but I interupted her. I said "I already know who you are Jenn, since I saw some pictures of you I've been watching for you. " She seemed pleased about that. She has seen the pics that you posted and she thinks they turned out great.
My overall impression of her is that she is a genuinely nice / cool person. She was very laid back, not nervous, stressed, or high. I didn't have lots of time, so we went to my usual parking area for a BBBJCIM. WOW she is in my "Top 5"! She really understands what feels good, and also moves around enough to give good views of her skills.
I'm 'average' sized, and I don't understand how so many girls will only take 3-4 inches in their mouth. If I wanted half my dick sucked I should only have to pay half LOL. Jenn is one of the girls that can completely DT me. She started slow, and as I started getting fully hard she showed great technique. She didn't just DT for a second, but for almost the whole BJ. Nice and tight, and lots of tongue action too.
She kept looking up at me and seemed to enjoy the reactions I was giving her. When I came, she didn't make a mess. She swallowed. Very nice. We left the parking space and I drove her home. She is independent now and had to start over with nothing when she left her pimp. She seems to have a nice place now, I hope things stay good for her.
Super, thanks for reporting on Jenn, she is now one of my favs.
Play Safe,
SR
