Ok so I went once this week. It felt about the same as usual, minus paying a bit more up front.
I do think they could have done a better job explaining things. I also question why so many girls are starting at 210, as that seems like a perfect way to cut out the basic customers, who are reasonably common. If they were busy around the clock I'd get it, as it keeps the small catches from wasting a booking slot, but with the exception of just a few (Olivia, Helena, etc.), it's rarely the case that they're booked around the clock and don't have room for the little guys. For the rest, the loss on potential volume probably isn't worth the slight bump in revenue guarantee you get from a higher standard charge. Time will tell, but I do suspect 170-270 will become the norm sooner vs later. As long as the girls are willing to sacrifice their pride a bit, it's the better LR business move for the vast majority of attendants. I'm guessing that hubris and competitiveness vs other girls are the biggest reasons why so many girls are starting high and sticking to it for now.
My session was A++ by the way. And with a girl who for whatever reason doesn't get talked about on here very often. So go figure.
