Rachel, back about 19 years ago we decided to have a second gathering and we called ourselves Cyber courtesan Mongers Club for lack of anything better. The most popular lady at the time (who was popular because she was the first Internet pioneer of GFE) styled herself a Courtesan and we decided that we'd have an awards process to recognize her. it was all done in fun. Only reviewers who had posted party reviews of their favorite LPIN ladies were accorded a vote. Who better than the actual customer and not the ladies, the lurkers online or brothel owners or employees. Just the actual partying guys! How novel is that? But...in the evolving process over the years, in order to make more people feel included (cyber political correctness at its worst), we've opened it up so that people who have never even been in the state of Nevada have a say. That is fucked.
So...this all evolving politically correct thing has been a piss pot of divisiveness for years and years and in the realm of pussy, $$$, self posturing to be most recognized in the pecker-ing order....the all inclusive LPIN Gathering Awards means something to the winners (a trophy that collects dust on a brothel mantel) that means less and less. COurtesan of the Year winners usually try like hell to win and some don't but whomever wins it retires within weeks to a few months after getting it so I submit: if you like being a regular to a COY nominee that its best to NOT vote for her so she sticks around. And brothel owners who do want to win BOY and don't get pissed off and disaffected with the process.
And its a lot of work to run a LPIN Gathering Awards and try to make it fair and please everyone and you end up pissing people off cuz those who don't do it aren't going to be happy with those who do. I know cuz I been on both ends of the stick.
Last year we had the one guy use lots of names. He's a POS elitist that was a stalker and got run outta town and he's still around we believe. The two primary guys running the awards kinda pissed off guys who didn't and it was more of a Keystone Kops deal than anything else so LPIN Gathering19 was the weirdest of awards. This years awards being the 20th LPIN Gathering and the 18th in the series is running fairly smooth and I hope committee has fewer headaches.
