What are some ideas you all have on avoiding the possibility of exposure? With all the clients that come in and out and taking pictures, as well as the girls it's incredibly hard to keep track of who gets captured in pictures/videos. We need to come up with a solution!
Several ranches have 100% bans on cameras and customer/lady use of cellphones in the parlor. This helps ensure that neither the ladies (whom may not want to have their pics publicly posted) or the customers are taking pics. Not 100% foolproof, of course, but MUCH better than having cameras out in the open.
In fact, the Sagebrush also has a laptop ban in the parlor. I've gotten around this once a while back (Carmen was sitting next to me the entire time I was working on my laptop, incidentally while I was showing her this website/forum, to make sure that I wasn't using the laptop camera), but as many laptops have cameras these days, this makes a certain amount of sense. Same for tablets and such, as some are camera equipped.
I'd recommend that only the MLBR do video/camera shoots with customers in attendance, while the Love Ranch North enacts a 100% camera ban. This way, those whom want to get famous can go to the MLBR, and those whom do not want to have to worry about such things can go to the Love Ranch North that night.
But, as Dennis doesn't seem to think that typical customer privacy is as important as promoting his brand, I'm not holding my breath. Rather than a heartfelt apology from him regarding the photogate incident, and demonstrating that he takes this issue seriously by changing camera policies, we saw a lot of drama and backbiting of the other ranches instead.
Sure, special precautions are often taken for the rich and famous that party incognito at the MLBR, to ensure that word never gets out about their trysts, but for us average joes, no special consideration whatsoever seems to be taken when cameras are about. At the very least, I would suggest that EVERY customer within sight range of a camera should either have to sign a release form or be asked to leave the parlor when special events are on, but this has not been the case to date.
Also, for IB, there was a more recent event reported on the Bunny Board regarding someone's photo/likeness getting out into the wild that had privacy concerns within the last several months. Of course, this was suppressed as soon as the BR moderators got wind of it, but the point is that this remains an issue.
And, as much as I'd love to meet some of the ladies that currently work for Dennis (Ally comes immediately to mind, as does Lady Aries), I simply will not compromise my values and need for privacy unless and until I see proactive and positive changes in this regard, and a formal apology issued to those whom have been harmed because of this.
In fact, I recently chatted with a Monger whom had a talking to after one of these incidents by his immediate boss, who DID discover the photos involved. He is now restricted from taking any trips to Reno, so even if he wanted to party in Moundhouse, or even at Exit 28, he can't, lest he risk being fired.
Way to go, Team Bunnyranch!
(With apologies to Ally, she's just an IC caught in the middle of this debacle).
