Merb get together

[urquell]

Your logic on the economics of these parties and how they worked is off. Too much analysis of this from the Indy point of view. The Iggy parties of past years were dominated by agencies and MP ladies. The ladies didn't make the call on whether to attend- the agency owner did. They got publicity and free advertising on MERB. I would suggest you go back and read some of the party threads. Let's please stop the revisionist histories and economic analyses.

Due to the success and size of the parties, some indies, who had been invited, started attending. From what I saw they picked their spots. I can remember one lady (hate to say this but I forgot her name, but she was great- 5'11" black lady from the Caribbean, I saw her maybe 3-4 times- someone remind me of her name). She wasn't really into parties but came to a couple of the Iggy parties. She didn't stay for the whole of the party. At one of them I persuaded her to come and told her I would be there. I bought her a number of drinks and she ended up getting drunk. This was one of the Lord Berri parties. Anyway my sidekick who came to the party excoriated me for not getting her a taxi or Uber after she left the party on her own. And Iggy was not happy with me either. I didn't actually see her leave (or maybe I did), but because I had gotten her drunk I did feel responsible. I texted her and apologized and the next day we texted and she made it home fine. I think she took the Metro. The other party she came to she didn't stay long, just long enough to be seen. She wasn't comfortable and felt it was a meat parade, which in truth is kind of what it is. But she understood it was good for business to bite the bullet and be seen. The party where I got her drunk she stayed longer because she was mostly sitting with me at the bar. But after she got drunk she actually gave some other guy a grinding lap dance right at the bar. This was kind of out of place with her personality and one reason I got my ass chewed out for not getting her a taxi or uber.

If you are buying drinks and getting someone drunk please keep this in mind.

It's not revisionist history. It's evolution to the present day and not a grip on the nostalgia of how things used to happen. I've been to a couple of hundred of these things. It's just not the same world now that it was back in the day, and priorites are not the same. What was sufficient then is not sufficient now to bring the girls out . Times have changed and they simply don't look at things the same way anymore. That's reflected in the current SP offerings in general now too. I think that's in large part why the get togethers don't happen often these days. Where the offer of presence and free drinks and fun and likely a client at the end of the night still exists is internationally, but that's just not the mindset here anymore.

Maybe, but it was not all that long ago when the Iggy parties peaked- 2014 and 2015 if my memory is correct. Have things changed that much in 10 years?

Is that sarcasm?

Fun fact, the spvm once paid a visit at one of those gts, but they didn't stay long.

They did not like the girls?

Yes, very unfortunately, but they have.
