I just spoke to Emperors Club. They were very apologetic and offered a free session tomorrow (as well as champagne, which I declined politely) I could not ask for anything more, and I will report on the makeup session so that you guys can all see whether Cirano's cynicism, reflected in his post above re makeup sessions, is justified.
Wanted to share a really bad experience I had this evening with the provider Baylee’s agency. I called them late this afternoon to check on Baylee’s availability. The person I spoke with gives me two times. I ask him approximately where she is so I can check what will work. I tell him the time and he says he’ll call me back in five minutes to go through their verification process. No problem I say. Forty-five minutes later no phone call- STRIKE ONE.
So I call just in case he copied my number down incorrectly. A different person answers and says,”oh yeah, your in here in our queue for verifying. I say is there a problem he says, “No, I can do it now.” It takes him about five minutes and we have a nice conversation for another five and then I say okay so we’re set. He confirms that and gives me the info about where she is located, you guessed it, the location he gives me is on the opposite side of town of the one given to me by the other guy-STIRKE TWO.
But I’m okay with it, in fact the new location is closer for me. HE tells me to call him five minutes before the appointment and she’ll meet me at the elevators. I make sure of the time and then say I’m cell phone less these days, will it be okay to call from a pay phone. He says, “That’s fine.”
I hang up and get to the appointment five minutes before and call. I get a message that the voice box is full. I call again and again and again. Finally I get through and leave a message saying I’m there and it’s now exactly the time of the appointment. Then I check the massage box of the number I gave and no message. I go to the elevators just in case she’s going to meet me there, regardless. NO show. I go back to the phone check my number again, no message. I call their number and after three tries get through to their message I says it’s now ten minutes after the appointment and I’m going back to the elevators one more time. At that time I see a woman who, admittedly may not have been Baylee, but sure as heck looked a lot like her walk out arm in arm with some dude and get a taxi. It’s almost twenty minutes after the appointment, I go back and check my number, no message. I call their number, can’t get through. Finally, I give up and come back to my place no message from them-STRIKE THREE!
So be warned guys about this agency and this provider. Also on the initial conversation he told me they’re going to have someone else visiting next week. A HUGE WASTE OF TIME!

but I, too, have had problems making an appointment with Baylee. EmperorsClub, any problems?
I had an appointment to see Baylee tonight. Forgetting the preliminaries, I arrived at the hotel at the appointed hour. Took about three tries, but I got through to the agency. I am told to expect a call in one minute.
Ten minutes go by, and no call. Then I start calling. Can't get anything but the voice mail. I tried for 40 minutes, never getting through. Asked them whether they were out of business. Did no good. Told them that I would post my experience on TER. Still no response.
I called several times after I left (after 45 minutes) to give the agency a chance to explain. Never heard from them. They never picked up the phone
They will not be in business in NYC for very long.
Thank you for sharing that with us. I was going to try to see her but something about the site and reviews didn't sound right. Sorry that you wasted your time. There are many more better more reliable providers out there.

I had the pleasure of seeing Baylee on the first night of her tour. She proved to be a lovely, although a bit quirky young lady. She was very engaging, the photos were accurate and she tried her best to ensure that I had a good time.
When I set up the appt., I too was told that I would get a call back within a certain number of minutes. When that time passed, I called the agency. While I was on hold with the automated system, the agency appeared on my call-waiting. My appointment started within 5-10 minutes of its scheduled time.
Baylee told me that she is based out of California and only uses this Philly agency when traveilling in the NE. She also informed me that she had encountered some problems of her own with them which made her a bit cautious.
Hopefully the agency just had some problems that they will correct or she will either associate with another agency or go independent sometime soon. However Gentlemen, let me assure you, Baylee is beautiful, has a phenomenal body and can be funny if you like her sense of humor. During the course of our conversation, she shared her attitude towards the hobby with me. She is a positive girl with the intent to give top-notch service.
She tried her best to make my experience memorable (I'll explain why I use the word try in my review - definitely not her fault) and given the opportunity, I would seer her again.
Don't hold it against her if her handlers f'ed up. I'd be willing to guess that it wasn't her fault.
An agency that acts like this would not last 2 weeks in NYC
and I would hate to see Baylee branded because of the agency's faux-pas!

I agree with Bacca. I was with Baylee this morning. I had contacted her agency thru this message board (on a PM). I found them to be very helpful. I was going to try and see her Sunday. Never made an actual appointment but they were understanding that it would be too tough to come to NYC during the big storm.
They were even more helpful in setting up my session today. And she was very much worth seeing. My review should be posted soon.
Sorry about your experience Cirano, but not having a cell phone might have led to your fiasco more than anything else.
Have never used EC before today but my experience was a great one.
Sorry to hear about your bad experiences but, I saw Baylee last night and everything went smoothly. I guess I was just lucky. I definitely had a great time though (best BBBJ I've ever had) and I would definitely see Baylee again.
Left me a message that their phone lines were down. Very apologetic and offered to make it up. I now reserve judgment
i too received a message from the agency stating the problem was with the phones. very apologetic and offerred to make it up, but as i said with the other issues about saying they would call back and not and then the different locations might be better to steer clear. also I my experience with makeups is though the provider is nice it gives the meeting a wierd dynamic. but at least they called and I wasn't implicating the provider with my post earlier. though i did mention someone looking like her walked out the front, I probably shouldn't have speculated on that issue. i was wrong to do that. still think i'll pass on any further interest with miss baylee.

I'm reading the book you wrote and I feel like I'm at a frekin day care w/ all the crying. I have never heard of this agency, but aside from that it's part of the hobby and shit happens. Get over it!
AssMan1
you're welcome to your opinion. the point was to alert anybody here of possible hassles so they could make their own choices. that is what i believe this board is for. and wasting my time or somebody elses is a pain in the ...but then again you have no reviews listed so let's say your opinion isn't all it's cracked up to be either. what do you provide to the board other than using an alias which shows real guts.

It doesn't happen and maybe he doesn't wan't to get over it.
I realize they are a reputable agency but I had terrible experience last week. Left my info with them but I only have a cell ( no listed number ). Phone rep said they could verify since I own coop which seemed odd to me since owners of coop arent on public records like condos and other "regular" property. Phone rep assured me it would be no problem. Hour goes by and no call back. So I call and realize they had written my name wrong. I had given them some other info including TER handle and phone person told me to go to location. When I get there and call, she told me they couldnt do appointment since they couldnt verify me. WTF??!??
I can understand them refusing to set up appointment but to waste several hours of my time thru sheer incompetance is unacceptable.
they went from Julies to ophelia's, which was well run, then down to affairtoremember, so-so, now down to dressupgirls, very poorly run.
hi CIRANO this is BAYLEE IAM VERY sorry for what happennd to you today. I had a problem with my hotel room. the water pipe broke in my bathroom. so I had to change hotels .my morring did not start out so well. by the time i got to the W hotels. I was very upset this morring with everying that had happennd. by the time I got to my room I just pass out on the floor. I did not feel so well .I had never had anything like this happennd to me before. I'm very sorry for all the miss understanting . plz don't get upset with the agency.
I was the that booked that hotel. I shouldn't have. I'm very sorry. 'my stay there was very bad the first day. I should of left.
I hope u let us make it up to u. n those who I did not see today.
I'd give her another chance if I were you guys. She's smokin' hot.
I'm sure they will make it up to you guys.
They are reputable, and honest. My experiences have always been stellar. Give them another chance!
Monday, and Tuesday were the 2 most HORRIFIC days for flooding, power outages, phone problems, etc in YEARS!
first thank you for taking the time to post a response and I appreciate the offer to set things in a better feeling. as i said in my second post I didn't mean to impliicate the provider's involvement in the situation. I said i was wrong to have speculated that I saw someone resembling Baylee exiting the hotel while i was waiting there. So I'll say it again. I was wrong to have speculated that. And having read some of the early reviews I understand about the room change because one of the reviews states about the room being smallish. however, now I'm confused if the problem was the phones or the room and it's affect on the provider. also there was the fact that the agency never called back after the initial contact when they said they'd call back in five minutes. I'm saying that there's just too much confusion here for me. I'm not getting on a soap box here. so please nobody respond "get over it," i'm attempting to answer this provider's post about making up for it. again thank you, but just too many pieces missing from the puzzle. thanks again for the offer and response. no need for any more discussion on it from my end at least.

i know i said I wouldn't say anything more but wait,kornlover please understand that having done a makeup session another time with someone else my opinion on the makeup session itself is that they hold a wierd dynamic for me, personally.
i am not suggesting anything cynical about this particular situation with this agency. or anything other than I don't feel comfortable in makeup sessions and in confusing situations. and you have to admit this has been one confusing doosey. I wish you luck with baylee. obviously, i thought her initially worthwhile having made the appointment in the first place. The agency made a similar offer to me in the form of a message, but i admit i didn't speak to them personally. maybe that would've change my feeling about it. again good luck. i'm sure it will be a great time.
Cirano, you started this whole thread because of your cynicism. You even played umpire by calling 3 strikes and used capital letters in calling EC a huge waste of time.
Sounds to me like you rushed to judgement on them. No one should make a post like that the same night a date goes wrong. Who among us all has not gotten stood up once or twice? It happens. You really should have gotten to the bottom of the story before slamming them the way you did. What damage do you think you caused them by the original title of this thread?
Think about that.
