A lot of that is bullshit-- actually I've noticed that they often use our pictures, and many of them are European girls that I know for a fact haven't been back to the States in years. I figure it's a baiting technique: "No, that particular one isn't available, but we have a lovely blonde who looks just like her..."

Correct Holly, very astute of you to conclude this...it is exactly the type of marketing/bullshit techniques used by most "Impulse Buying" Industries and Businesses. Use a "FANTASTIC LOOKING" picture, image or display that casts your product or service in overly positive light to increase the chance the customer in a moment of vulnerability impulsively buys whatever it is you are selling...

PORN, and sex in general, are almost exclusively Impulse driven in terms of purchasing decision making goes....Look at the Websites of Porn Companies and the Box/Dvd Covers (including....*gasp shock* Suze Randall Brand stuff) ... It stands to reason that Escort Companies would practice the same thing.

Of course, none of this means anything in the long run from the girls' perspective who keep getting their pictures and images hijacked and plastered on random flyers and what not....I mean, isnt that to be expected for a porn starlet, when the girls pretty much sign away their rights when they agree to get paid to do the shoot in the first place?

I also think of it in terms of another impulse buy....food, especially fast food restaurants.....anyone ever notice how the pictures on menus, or above the counter, never resembles what you actually get in reality???

I always think of the scene from "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas, where he rants about his Burger not looking like the picture above the Cash Register....

Anyway, speaking of acting Impulsively...... "How's it Going Otherwise Holly?" I am sure I speak for many when I say I hope things are going well with you today...
