Some 2003 Toronto escorts and the pricings of the day!

[Tia Phoenixx]

Tia, I can count 7 girls that are still actively working from that list; Victoria, Tasha, Lucy, Kim, Candy (Allessandra), Amber and Carmen (Dita). Were you counting on your fingers and forgot to add the five fingers on the first hand to come up with 2 working?



Yep, that was original strip club location, up above Remingtons. I seem to recall that at the time the move was made from Yonge St. to Mississauga, that Amanda seemed to be the operator of the " Party Palace" as it was called, and if I remember correctly, she stated either on this Forum or maybe it was in her own newsletter, that the owners of Remingtons had wanted them gone and forced them to close.

It was a while before the new Miss. location was ready and Tasha seemed to be somewhat involved too I believe (as the hostess?), but again perhaps my recollection is flawed.

7 are still working..?
Ok sorry..i do not know all of tgirls..some of them even change their name(s)

Thx for the correction but hopefully the essence of my posts is still valid that escorting is not a good choice (if we have better choice) for a profession.

It's also funny to have different perception amongst us:
Some see it as a nice memory, and for me personally, i got scared when i saw that list.

Anyway, let's keep it easy...and yes..funny

I don't want to be too serious anyway

Ooops, methinks you took my post the wrong way.

Sorry if my reply upset you Tia. I did not post that as a correction, it was made entirely in jest, thus the laughing smiley. It was intended to be light-hearted!

Kelly/Panthera and Kara Mae are still around town. Kara Mae has posts on a dating site. Jade Scott met someone and retired to NY to be with him, Barbara/Suzy is married and out of town, DiWata had her SRS, so only Asia and Sandra seem to be unaccounted for as, well as Aisha who was in To. only briefly I believe.

There now, that isn't so scary after all, is it?

Of the three girls that remain unaccounted for, who knows why they are not active? They may have believed as you do, and simply moved to a safer line of work. Maybe some other member has information on these "lost" girls that they'd care to post.

I am ill equipped to comment on the validity of your asumption about the profession being a poor choice, though I personally believe that you are correct. It certainly has the potential to be a very dangerous choice to make.

No, ha..ha...i am not upset sweetie...and yes..thx for the updated info.

It sounds much better now....that's right is not too scary anymore..
Gosh..at least i know i can still take some vacation here and there without being affraid of my future too much...

I remember the Palace back then ....

My favorite back then was Natasha and Paige.

Always wanted to be with Diwata, never took the plunge and now she's gone.

Oh well, the good old times ......

That doesn't sound like the same lineup.
I think The lounge strippers had a downtown location at one time before Goodhandy's. They may have even started out above Remingtons, however the times I went there it was run by the owners of Remingtons and the Play was my understanding.

You never forget your first and my first lap dance with a Tgirl was Mercedes. I remember that I ended the night with a couple of dances with Nina.
Mia seemed a little stuck up.

[Tasha Jones RIP]

Those where the days!

I am not speaking for Amanda or Todd. I am just giving my points on this topic as to how I remember them.


Amanda started the Palaces Party's as online webcam shows. Then she started to host them in her recreation room of her building in Mississauga. Todd & Amanda then opened the first ever Shemale Strip club in Mississauga. Which lead to the downtown location above Remington's. Then she had the Shemale Spa nights. Now they have Goodhandys and are still running the Lounge in Mississauga.


I was lucky enough to be part of the first 5 girls at The Lounge. First I was a waitress, which I truly loved and should have stayed doing it. But I decided to dance, which to be honest I did not like. Working with the girls as a waitress and sending guys there way was easy and they all showed me respect and were nice, most did this, but not all. Then by changing to do dances myself changed how the girls treated me. I then became someone who was working against them and not with/for them.


So when Amanda & Todd opened Goodhandys, I jumped at the chance to go back to being a waitress, door girl, bar back and then a bartender. I truly loved working on that level, being able to talk to the guys and not trying to work them felt great. As well the girls did not feel I was ?cutting there grass? so the respect came back.


By the way, Remington's is owned by the same guy who owns Play on Church St. Remington's was against us girls from day 1 and really only made our time there as bad as they could. After they pushed to far & and crossed the line with there respect towards us, Amanda went to bat for us. Even though this made her lose money, her respect for us girls and our rights was more important then her making a fast buck.


As for myself, I have been lucky to have been part of most of the events/clubs & videos/websites that Amanda & Todd have done. As well had the opertinity to be a dancer, porn star, waitress, bartender & a small bit of hosting which lead me to meet some wonderful men along the way. Can not forget that I did meet a couple nice ladies as well.


I still escort and have kept the same name that I started with years ago. I do not escort as much with College/working a day job, but still do it when I feel like it. My choice in going to College and starting to work in the ?day life? was by choice and not by being forced out to feed myself. I think that if done right, escorting can be a respectful career and one that you can live a very good life. As for the other girls from way back when. Most are still around, but some are out of the lime light like myself and others like myself wish to have more in there life then answering phones and wearing 6 inch shoes all day long.


Just to give more information with what Tia stated. Yes, in this city there has only been one death of a Shemale from a client (That we know of). But, there have been at least 7 girls that I know of who have died from other things. Most of those girls are well known by other being online, Ads in the papers or working the streets. We are very lucky in this city because in other city's like Vancouver, there have been almost 15 deaths by a client. I am only going by the last 7-9 years, before those dates there were more deaths in Toronto.


As for rates, since I have been working the papers, corner, clubs and online since late 90's. I can tell you that the rates have really not changed that much. If you call a working girl who is online they charge more then they do from the paper. The paper's like the Eye or Now have always been a lower end market, so the rates are cheaper then online ads. As well if it is 3am you might get a break. Although I will admit that the Eye has been getting bigger and some girls like Lucy for one, she has kept her rates the same online and in the paper. But most girls do not!


For myself, I have always been between $100.00 & $200.00. At home it is normal for me to charge $100 for a ? and $150 for the hour. On tour I normal charge $200.00. Some girls think this is cheap, but for myself it is what I have always charged and I see no need in trying to make extra money to make other girls happy. Same as I will not go lower then $100.00 because so and so is doing $80.


But over all what a girl charges is her own business and no one should have the right to tell them other wise or look down on them for there own personal choice.


Thank you Toban, this was a very good topic!

i have to say something

well, i not just got a brake in in my apartment and got stolen around 800 dlls, great sunglasess, jewerly and my laptop

last summer i had the most terrible experiance in my whole life

i was walking over maitland street , but not homewood area, i live at alexander wich is just a block south of maitland, it was thursday around 2 am , and a car aproached to me, with two guys,
they were very hot ( middle 20's, regular car, hot white boys)

anywho, i went to see.... i was kinda tipsy and i liked the idea for a 3way

they say they were looking for a transexual, when i open the mouth to speak

they spray on my face like sorth of pepper spray but inestead of pepper was a sort of very fine powder.

it filled my mouth and my nose, so i did not breath for a few minutes, and i just laid on the ground to let me die.


the only thing went to my mind was: ""what a terrible way to die, death on the side walk like a street dog....""

For the love of God: I did it , I survived, i started to try to breat lil by lil, but the powred was getting into my lungs... it took me 20 to get back on my feet, everything was very fast.

anywho, two ppl helped me to make it to my building, wich it was very close
i washed my face (whole my body was cover by the white powred, i looked like one of those sugary candies), i had a bath and i tryed to spit out all the powder , it was the most terrible experience ever

i blocked my self for a few weeks, i wanted to belived was just a terrible neigthmare

and i did not mention to anywone never until last week when i told one of my best friends.

I also did not want to make a police report because i was walking on the street on high heels in a very provocative dress over maitland street, honeslty i was not trying to do prostitution, i do never will promote my self on the street, i thing that would be very clear because i have enougth with my clients i meet on line and the guys from the eyeweekly

so, i was afraid to call the cops because they would think and with very firm reasons that i was promoting prostitution on public at nite in area well known as a pick up area , and would be more drama for me, and toronto cops, they only take the reports but never find the criminal.

would be so much drama for me, to get nothing

anywho, i think we shoudl be very carefull walking on the steet, some haters really tryed to kill me, or hurth me in a very bad way

plase be carefull.

I want to let u know that I deeply regret also to dont speak up before, i think its my social responsability to make aware the comunity.

Please I hope u dont judge why i did not mention this before, I think it was my social obligation, but also it really freak me out, it fuck my mind for a while, and i dont not want to talk about.

Love u all, and deep on my heart I wish this never happen to nobody else.

i just copy and paste this info over and over again. these 2 numbers are very crucial for us, escorts:in Toronto, we have a special police to deal with this issue (bad dates). Here are the numbers (24/7): 416-808-7290 and 416-808-7446.

[far2crazy]

Do you keep that list on the fridge, beside your grocery list?


I went to the Shemale Strippers above Remingtons a few times.
It was great up there, very cozy and comfortable with a little bar.
Like the Lounge Strippers but a little more like what you might see in Thailand.

Mostly the Asian girls working there too.
Karolina, Terah, Karen, Cheska, Eva, Pantera etc.

Ahhh, the good old days.....

Remingtons was fun. I got picked up and taken home by Karen one time :-)
