I think it was BB but it was about 5 years ago...

I didn't notice Australia mentioned in the thread. The laws vary by state there. In Victoria they have brothels. I went to one near my hotel in Melbourne a couple of times a few years ago. Pricing and service both comparable with Montreal. Both ladies I saw were very attractive and pleasant...

I recently replied by text to an ad on this site by an indy who advertises here very regularly. As requested in the ad I provided the name of a reference, and an appointment was made for the following week. The approximate location in Griffintown (not close to where I live or work) was given...

See Luchino Visconti's episode Il Lavoro (The Job) in the 60s Italian omnibus film Boccaccio 70. A young playboy aristocrat plows his way through all the top local call girls. His wife, the brilliant and sexy Romy Schneider, is nonplussed to read about his exploits in the tabloid newspapers...

Last night the Cinematheque screened the 1916 silent classic "Shoes" by the prolific early American director Lois Weber. A cinematographically and dramatically straightforward story of a poor shopgirl whose meager wage is her family's principal source of income. Her faineant father lies on the...

All wines red and white that I have had from the Pessac-Leognan appellation in Bordeaux have been very enjoyable...I also agree with the earlier post about pinot noir from Oregon...great stuff!

"Threat"?????? This thread is going in strange directions!

This thread contains some interesting and not incorrect comments on sampling methodology. Unfortunately, they of course do not apply to any online "poll", where no sampling at all is taking place. The self-selected respondants don't constitute a "sample" in any meaningful sense (indeed we don't...

Effective today the main auditorium at tha Cinematheque Quebecoise is no longer called the Salle Jutra

I believe the voiceover in "Deux ou trois choses" was provided by Godard himself. I consider all his films from "Breathless" to "Weekend" to be masterpieces. Maybe the greatest "winning streak" in film history. Personal favourites include "Band à Part", "Pierrot le Fou", "Masculin feminin"...

Mon Homme. (Bertrand Blier, 1996) Anouk Grinberg plays an independent hooker who picks up clients in a hotel lounge. This an unconventional and humourous farce that is very interesting and I would recommend it although it is not a masterpiece and the story falls apart a bit about halfway...

Another classic from Godard's salad days that focuses specifically on prostitution is Vivre sa vie with the divine Anna Karina. It's been a while since I last saw it so can't provide any detail. I think the usual English translation of the title is something like My Life to Live

Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'elle Jean-Luc Godard, 1966 Saw this one again at the Cinematheque last week. Prostitution is a constantly recurring theme in the oeuvre of Godard and is the central topic of this film. The beautiful actress Marina Vlady plays a housewife living in the bleak...

The Mayflower Madam Saw it the other day. Early 80's TV movie with Candice Bergin as Sydney Biddle Barrows, based on the latter's book recounting her experience as the owner of a top NYC escort agency. Sympathetic portrayal of Barrows, mostly believable. Her socially prominent family had seen...

if use of the veto is the barometer of a president's competence, then Reagan is by far the worst since 1960 with 78 vetoes. The number of Reagan vetoes that were overridden by congress is more than double the total number of vetoes used by Obama
