Hi!
Some callers got me really excited, but then I found out the truth.
You see, originally it looked like Craigslist is complying with the demands of the many states, and they are removing the erotic services category.
But… and here is the but, good news for most, not so good for me 
that the adult services category is wide open. There are two differences: 1. the photos must have no nudity on them, lingerie is ok, 2. the new post price is now $10 per post, it cost $5 to repost.
What does this mean? That nothing much changed, it is just blowing smoke up people’s arses… Craigslist reinvented the wheel. good for them.
My opinion, the amount of advertiser is going to go back to how it has been within a week or two. Girls need to get new pictures with coverage, so the photographers will be busy, but that’s all.
If you need a photographer in NJ, my photographer from my Mentertainment Magazine, Keith Terracina is available, his number is 908-361-5606, Then Nichole in NYC. If you were near me, I could take some pictures of you too, I used to take most of the cover shots for the magazine, so I know what I am doing… 
I am working on another craigslist type site, http://www.yourcityescort.com and I’ll make this link active once it is ready… a day or two or three…
The good thing about this type of sites, that you can use the page as your website, and you can add a link to your ad on outcall.net… so it’s a great solution to a lot of you that don’t have a regular website.
I just wanted to put in my two cents worth…

I was listening to CNN (also sometimes known as Communist News Network, LOL) when the subject of the state of CT threatening to sue CL, basically because of the recent murder of the young masseuse, came up. I am not going to speculate and say that this unfortunate young woman lost her life because she didn’t screen properly. There are agencies getting busted and for the most part they are pretty thorough with screening. When I worked for an agency, I wound up at client’s homes that were less than desirable. This business is riff with all walks of life, men and women alike. I’ve met a few providers that are a few cards short of a full deck, LOL. BUT, I have to say this about Craigslist. I advertised with them a few years ago. The reason I stopped was because of the sudden (or so it seemed) influx of young women, with no sense of class, who permeated the sites with graphic pics, their exact location (ie; “Hi, I’m Hot Lips and I am at the Village Motel on exit 21, cum see me baby”) and then there’s the money shot. If I WERE a guy, I would move on to the next ad, only because that would not be the kind of woman I would want to be intimate with, on any level. These ads are screaming “I have a substance abuse problem and your money is going to help me get more”. Some of the girls don’t look any older than 16. It was becoming an online sweat shop for escorts.
I’m a member on another well known board. Some of the girls who had been advertising on CL were asking this morning what had happened, as they were having trouble posting. One asked where else she could post, besides, Backpage, etc. I told her, for my money, outcall.net and bestgfe.com was all I used. I get more than enough business and I feel “protected” in the mere fact that both Sophie and the administrator of the other site monitor what is going on. They take an interest in how the machine works. And the men who frequent these sites seem to have a little more going for them. The bottom line, if a girl is going to choose this profession she should be educated in all areas…and let’s face it, advertising should be the first lessoon. Just like when you walk into an office the receptionist is the first person you see….so you only have one chance to make a good impression. Your ad is your first impression.
In closing, I wouldn’t worry too much about CL…there are so many other avenues to pursue and doing so will place you so much higher than your CL counterparts. It would probably be best to steer clear for awhile anyway until the dust settles. (or the powers that be wind up getting caught with THEIR pants down..)..LOL
