When i joined in 2009 they where the biggest agency, or one of them at least. I remember XXXtase was big, Eleganza as well, satin dreamz and mtl sex city controlled the day shifts, and there was some good little agencies. That was before goodgirls, mtl gfe, and many others that exist now. Even Angel Escorts didn't exist back then.
They had among the best pictures, they had lots of well reviewed girl (some very bad reviewed too tough) but there was a couple things i didn't like, first you could not pre-book a day in advance or anything, schedule would be posted very late(at least to me) like 4-5 pm... and it was first come first serve. I remember once a booker told me pict 4 girls on gof, 4 girls on devilish, and we will keep one of them first your meeting as more likely than not one of them will work that night... lol, not really my idea of pre-booking. Another thing was the no service listed policy, had to really check reviews. Woman of Passion, Satin Dreamz(back then at least) had a very clear and detailed list of services, and later Angel Escorts started with the same concept. And finally, they would often be very late in the bookings... my guest would be they would book the guys one after the other and do not take the 10 mins late time slot of the first clients into consideration or whatever. Or they simply had too much girls for too less drivers, i dunno, i waited once for almost 2 hours to see the SP... and i was very DOWNTOWN. I wouldn't be surprise the client just called to extend and they bumped me.
I remember that particular booking, it was with Chloe Milan, damn she was fine tough, when she finally arrived i was extremely happy, and she gave me an awesome time, but i had originally called them around 4 when they posted the schedule or something, i asked if there was any spot left, they mention to me 11 pm or 1 am. I say 11 will be fine, i jump on the city bus to the terminus, take the MTL bus and arrive in MTL around ... can't remember 7 or 8... I was supose to come on sunday for the metalica show but i decided hey i want Chloe, ill spend one more day in MTL. So i waited, waited... she finally arrived around 12:45 or something like that. Thanks god i didn't took the 1 am booking...
I must have called the booker like 8 times with my hotel phone ... :nono: alwys giving me the "in 15 mins she sould be there" ... I would had been so disapointed and so piss would i had wasted my night(no replacement could had been found that late) . At one point i started to play PS2 (that i brough on that trip) in my hotel room... lol
Anyway i really got carried away ... :/
In any case they had problems back then, but the choices when it came to night booking was not like it is today, so we rolled with it. Nowadays so many great options, so many better services... Instead of improving there game, it seem GOF/Dev has just keep the same problems but there roster even declined... they lost some of these very hot girls from years ago, never got any superstar since then... and as these threads seem to point out, they hired some very bad ones as well.
In any case to me its a mystery they are still in business. They never improved there services listing, they kept the same formula of nigh booking only (never offered much early bookings like 5-6 pm), they don't much reviews these days and when they do, its not only positive... Anyway... If they where once at the top, they are maybe among the lesser merb agency listers now...
