Lets give credit where is due.
Jasmine of Unicorn tried one, although it was a big undertaking on her part but the end result was less then what we were used to
with the other VIP parties. (I think lots of people let her down so she didn't take the chance to try another one).
Although... Jasmin's / Unicorn Halloween party was very successful.
(High light of the night ?, I was greeted by Sonia at the door, didn't know her at the time, but became instant TDL)
The rest is history.
Cruiser777,
I was not talking about one offs. How many parties did Iggy organize and plan, between GG and VIP? I am guessing 15 or more over a span of 4 years? What I am talking about is someone coming along to fill the regular return engagement party. There have not been any successors. Elvis was succeeded by the Beatles and eventually the Beatles were succeeded by Michael Jackson. Elvis was not succeeded by The Surfaris. You are bringing up one hit wonders and I am talking about rock stars, guy. Iggy was, in the history of the Montreal escort party scene, Elvis.

Cruiser, you would say the Surfaris succeeded Elvis? A 1 hit wonder to 13 years of prime rock and roll?

Can't take anything away from Iggy's accomplishments
All I said was lets give credit to the person that tried to continue the tradition but didn't workout.
Although the comparison is little off...but just for the hell of it I'm going with this one.

PS: Regarding Iggy, if he hadn't organized the parties most probably some of us we wouldn't have the friendships we have now
and we would have never put a face on the MERB handles. So lots of credits to Iggy.
Unfortunately no more parties like these are planned or happening.
These parties used to happen few years back where SPs (Agency girls, Indies), agencies and owners, sometime MPs, clients (Mostly MERB members) used to attend, meet the girls in person, get to know them, meet the boys, mingle, have few drinks, and generally have a good time.
As you can tell from the previous posts on this thread, we all get together, read the Bible, listen to sermons, and get blessed by a Priestess. These GTs are very much like going to church on Sundays, and we sometimes sit by a bonfire, roast marshmallows and tell stories about our individual encounters with Jesus Christ, our Savior.
I did not go to that party, but I give her credit for trying. I thought it would be an uphill battle to do a series of parties like Iggy did, for anyone. Like I said earlier, outside of JoeT, Reverdy and a handful of others including myself, most of you do not know the full extent to which Iggy went in organizing and planning these parties. Whatever meager sum he made, if any, was not enough compensation for the blood labor he expended. I was his sounding board the entire time from the first of the GG parties he did to the last of the VIPs. When Iggy initially started emailing me about his ideas on the parties, I offered short and polite but uninterested replies. After I got to know Iggy and attended a few parties, I became impressed with his organizational skills, and his effort and enthusiasm. He would email me his ideas on new venues, and when one was chosen, I could sense the excitement and enthusiasm of challenge in the tone of his emails. It got to where I would come home and spend 4 hours emailing Iggy back and forth some nights. He bounced all kinds of things off me but I could tell that he had actually given a great deal of thought to everything before he ever asked my thoughts on anything. He would also very honestly tell me if he liked or didn't like any particular idea I would give him in these discussions. Sometimes it became point-counterpoint discussions until he figured out the best approach. He would make the decision and pull the trigger once he did with no second guessing or ambivalence.
One big turning point was when he started inviting MPs as well as escort agencies. I felt like that was the point when the VIP parties went to another level. Iggy used to email me who was coming from each place. There would always be a few no shows, and he would be extremely disappointed when they happened. But he got to the point where he knew what the attrition rate would be.
Perhaps even more creditworthy is he managed to invite people who absolutely hated each other to the same party- knowing of their mutual animosity - yet the hostile to each other participants would silently coexist and put aside their differences for the common good. Iggy never let these kinds of issues sidetrack him from inviting people who he thought would make good company for the invited guests. He also was not afraid to "lay down the law" and disinvite a few people from parties, in one case a guy at GG3 who got rough with the girls in private and they complained to Mike, in another case a guy who approached some escorts with a "savior complex", unnerving them and causing complaints. That latter person was spoken to about his misbehavior and, eventually, reinvited with restrictions. I respected the heck out of him for all of the above, even though truthfully Iggy and I were not really friends and I was never really in his inner circle. Outside of the parties, I do not think I ever socialized with him.
Its true as i said before i don't know everything about findind a venue, never did it myself in a place like Montreal. But i don't understand why it would be "so complicated". You don't have to mention its an escort party... It could be anything. Personally i would try to go with a venue that is PRIVATE, as in "no staff provided by the house". Simply renting a room. The only complicated aspect with that is the alchool. Cause if you sell alchool then you are technically illegal. Thus why i think a "BYOB" approach, or lets say "an all inclusive fee" is probably the best thing. Obviously you don't make as much money if peoples bring their own stuff, but i wouldn't be in to make money...
I think the most complicated things is actually to have the girls commit to come. As you mention Beav there is always peoples that will cancel. The most succesfull parties are the ones where the most girls attended. This is what bring peoples the most, putting new faces on your "list", and gauging if you will match with them in person, even tough seeing girls you get along and enjoy to be with is always pleasant.
Im not in the shoes of anyone who tried a party obviously, so i can't say what they had in mind vs what was delivered.
And altough you mention Beav that Iggy threw a lot of parties, and its true, i think ultimately it may have been too much at some point. Only speaking for myself there. But lots of the guest were not locals and could only come so often in Montreal. I think 1 every 6 months could very well be enough, but as i said, make it a BIG ONE.
Ultimately finding a good venue and assuring yourself that most of the guests show up i think is the most complicated aspect. You can always have guys pre-pay (Iggy did it once for sure) but with the girls, since its free for them, i dunno really how to make sure they show up. Ask for a refundable deposit? lol. Ultimately if guys don't show up but paid, i don't think its as much an issue as if girls don't show up
Honestly im serious when i say i would be open to devote myself into planning one. Im not a "local Montrealer" but i not far enough that anything can be a big issue (im in Quebec...). But it NEED a big agency to be the "attraction" and provide AT LEAST 8 to 10 girls IMO. Wich is not that huge when you look at the size of the rosters of the current big 3 agencies. Add to that the indies, maybe some agencies that could get 1 or 2 girls, and you could have a pretty solid ammount of guest.
From what im understanding in this thread, the "core" of merb would like another party. The question is, does the workers think they need it? If they are fully booked all the time (be it agencies and indies) then the answer will be no...
But obviously there is a lot of different levels of parties. What im speaking mostly is a fairly big merb party. If an agency want to throw a 20 to 25 guy "smaller party", they don't need me for that obviously.
On a side note, not a lot of us speak of the Mojo party because by the end this agency was well known to be "shady" and ultimately they caused their own demise. But gotta admit the only party they did was pretty kick ass. It was costly from what i heard to rent that, but it had so much cool stuff in it including a jacuzzi !! Altough i was not among the "choosen ones" to be able to go with the girls in it or even near it (only big clients were allowed) i managed to pinch a few eye shot at some of the girls (even saw one topless) and it looked amazing.
So thats why ultimately renting a house with a pool would be an amazing venue for a party... But i know this would cost a fair share so depend if the guys wanna pay for it or not. Cause a bigger, more glamourous party could be awesome, but a smaller, more intimate party where you simply meet the ladies and talk to them can also "serve its purpose". I know that some of you guys are older too, so maybe im fantazing too much with that pool idea.
Ultimately the choice would be yours anyway.

I've been away from this hobby for number of years now, but I did enjoy meeting lot of fellow MERBites at the VIP parties Iggy organized. I'd be interested in coming back to Montreal if new and better parties are planned. :canada:
Haha “these GTs are very much like going to church on Sundays” . @d3beats as someone who is an expert in Churches I would say that my friend Shyman’s comparison is spot on ,,, yup just a bunch of amateur theologians talking about the “good book “ which is a pretty good read by the way
, the mysteries of the world and the glory of god . And of course Jesus Christ our saviour , a pretty cool guy if you ask me since he could walk on water , raise the dead and the most impressive, something that I wish I could also do , he could turn water into wine and therefore make any GT or party a success haha here’s a quote from the bible below since we are talking about church
“ whatsoever thy hand findeth to do , do it with thy might , for there is no work , nor device , nor knowledge , nor wisdom , IN THE GRAVE , whither thy goest “ Ecclesiastes 9:10
Basically , we have no time in which to live but the present and we should not wait until tomorrow ,,, life is short “ do it with thy might “ , and don’t forget to have a good time once in a while
P.s. Times change and things change that’s the only constant in life ,,, the Montreal escort scene landscape doesn’t have these great GTs anymore partly because a gifted party organizer left the scene and the agencies in general don’t really need the exposure anymore
But it is evident from reading most people’s posts here how nostalgic they where of these GTs ,,, they sounded like a lot of fun and who knows maybe one day Halloween Mike csn pick up where Iggy left offf , everything is possible . He’s intelligent enough , is definitely trustworthy and most importantly he’s passionate about them which is the most vital
Primarily for reasons of discretion and privacy. The VIPs were held in public restaurants. First you need a restaurant with a liquor license and the private space apart from the restaurant proper suitable to accomodate the crowd. You may recall that Iggy had a bartender serving drinks. Bartenders need to be paid (and therefore deals need to be struck with them on what their tips will be), and you also need to have an open bar that does not interfere with the restaurant's regular normal guests and bar. No commingling. For this reason you need a restaurant with a separate catering area and an area where the bartender can set up independent of the actual restaurant. In other words a makeshift bar has to be created, unless the private catering area already has one. Iggy found 2 such locations that I recall and which were relatively ideal. The second of the two also offered appetizers/hor's douevres to the guests, which were good. My recollection is that the upstairs of one had its own bar, and at the other a makeshift bar was created.
The Lord Berri GG parties were smaller scale but had their own challenges, such as hotel guests commingling with party attendees. Once a hotel guest finds out what the party is about, you do not want him or her causing a problem. What if you booked a hotel party and forgot to check their conference schedule to note that the "Feminists Against Prostitution" conference was scheduled at the hotel that same weekend? Would you think to check the hotel conference schedule, Mike? Because if you invited a ton of escorts and that FAP conference was the same weekend, it would not be good.
Iggy would send me emails detailing his party planning efforts and he covered all of these kinds of issues.
How many guys went to the MUH Mansion party in February 2017? Do you remember the three hottest girls at the party that hung out in the early hours in the kitchen on the main floor. All three were wearing tight short dresses with heels and clung together for awhile. There was Erika Delarose, SweetOlivia/JustOlivia and one other girl. She was a blond girl from Toronto who was not as buxom as Olivia. Cloudsurf, Pat98, SteelyDan, Halloween Mike, NYC BadBoy and any of the girls like Melodie or Sasha, Julia, Judy etc...do you remember who this was? The reason is, I'm a lot closer to Toronto and I would like to see her if I could figure out who that was.
The only one who I can think of is Lya/Poupoune a French/Russian mix who was not from T.O. HM may know what happened to her.
She was a stunning blond but had developed a serious case of psoriasis that had put her out of action. I saw her when she was staying on Nun`s Island.
BTW H101, if you are going to T.O. then try to see SBJ (Sweet Baby Jaimiee ) from Allegra.

H101,
I remember exactly who you are talking about unfortunately I did not catch her name! I was talking to you in the kitchen area when I almost had whiplash from those 3 hotties who walked in together. However, I did manage to talk to Sweet Olivia for a little bit before I got grabbed by Nadia and disappeared with her for awhile.
At one point later on when I was still with Nadia I did run into you inside the garage where you had your hands full with a gorgeously shaped woman in a sexy outfit who I couldn’t see her face because you two were busy getting some mouth to mouth! :lol:

Personally i would prefer to held the party in a PRIVATE place. Either a room you can rent (with no outside interference) or maybe even a house/chalet you can rent for 1 or 2/3 days. Obviously the concerns of the civilians were always there when the parties were held in "public spaces". There was such concerns at the Berri with the hotel guests and the 1 or 2 parties that were held at a place im not sure of the name but had a civilians bar under us. I get that finding a suitable place could be the biggest challenge but hey, i wouldn't mind it. I would really aim for something private.
Thus why im saying the BYOB approach could be suitable. At the Berri from what i understand the room was provided free of charge and the bar was making the money on the achool sold. Seem like a fair deal to me and why we had so many parties there. If you allow BYOB (Bring your own beer) you don't need a liscence to sell alchool. Otherwise if you make peoples pay an all inclusive fee (drinks included) im not sure its 100% legal but it could be hard to prove against you as during the party there is no evidence you are selling.. Actually you are not, you sold an acces to your party... the drinks are graciously provided by you
(kinda like escorts don't sell sexual services, but companioship, what happen between 2 consenting adults... ) As for the barmaids... i really hope im not gonna anger anybody saying that, but i don't see why its of any concern. If you have them, let them keep the tips they make, pay them if needed a "salary", but hell just in tips they probably gonna make over a weekly pay of a regular job for 1 night of job. In a BYOB approach the best would be to let peoples serve themselves their own beer. I trust that peoples wouldn't start "stealing beer" from others as it would be pretty low IMO. At GG2 we all had our own beer and i don't remember anybody stealing mine.
Maybe im having a big vision and im wrong, its entirely possible, but im feeling you making it appear as much more complicated than actually needing to be. Montreal is a big city, their must be rooms to rent that allow the renter to be "independant" (as no personal from the place provided).
As for Hungry's question, it may very well possible it was "Poupoune Lya", i remember meeting her in a few parties, i just don't remember for sure if she was the person at that specific one, i think i may had fanboy too much over Erika
Sad to learn about her psoriasis problem (Lya) , i remember her to be beautifull, i wanted to see her for a while, but never happened. I did spent a fair share ammount of talk to her at one of the early GG event and again at one of the 2 halloween events from mtlgfe (think it was the second that was held in tandem with unicorn) . She was really nice.Thanks for the kind words. Who knows what the futur hold indeed. But it does not depend to me much. Im just down to provide my help on that, but ultimately its the peoples in the industry that would be the one deciding if they want to do it or not.
Some great and epic momments from the VIP parties.
Who remembers the small narrow pathway that was outside behind the kitchen of the Lord Berri where everybody used to go for a smoke, man, that was a great meeting and hang out place, there were times the place was sardine packed because it was so small, that was a happening and fun area to hang out, some wild mini parties occured there that were memorable, it is also were Mike from GG had his mini birthday party which I attended, it is also were he received his birthday presents.
The party at the condo where the gentleman that won the top prize which was a free hour with the girl of his choice from GoodGirls, he was so excited when he heard his name announced that he was jumping up and down with excitement, he was so thrilled that he won, that was an epic scene.
The face smothering that Maria Star gave to a few of the winners as part of the prize package.:thumb:
There was the party were everytime I turned around I swear I saw hungry101 either embracing or DFK'ing a different girl.
The time where I walked in and saw a tall very pretty girl who I never saw before who absolutely blew me away because she was so damn pretty that I said to myself !!WOW!!, I couldn't talk to her as I was being employed for the party so I had to return to my post and I said to myself that I will talk to her later but when I returned she was gone, I frantically went around asking a few people, "who the hell was that tall hot chic that was standing close to the door" , finally panthere was able to tell me who she was, "oh that girl, that was Thiffany from Vog".:thumb:
I told iggy many times that these parties will end one day and that all that we will have left will be the memories so we should enjoy them as much as possible while they were happening, he used to call me on the phone to tell me "remember when you said that we should enjoy these parties while they last, you were so right".:thumb:
