The worst hype is Brittany/Lynne at Eleganza in 2006. The pics posted by John in the members area were stunning. She's model material at the age of 18. Man and those gravity defying boobs were out of this world and she was 18! It took me a year to get to see her. She was impossible to book and left at some point and came back in 2007. By the time I saw her in 2007, she gained a bit of weight and was older. She didn't look as hot and her attitude left much to be desired. She wasn't really into it. I don't think I got all the items on the menu as advertised. She's too good for me In retrospect, I should have saved that 2h donation and stayed home.
For some girls, 1 year IS a long time. Bad habits and all... too much McD's, poutine, drugs, just generally not taking good care of themselves... they add up, and girls can age REALLY quickly. Especially in Montreal, it seems. John was usually pretty good though of maintaining high standards. It may be with extremely rose-colored glasses, and I may be guilty of romanticizing long-ago memories - but I had good experiences 90% of the time with John and Eleganza. Miss that guy.
I agree with an earlier post from Thor, that's good general advice for all - manage your expectations, and you won't be bitterly disappointed. Easy to say, hard to always practice...
