Taking pics of girls with customers ~ LB-69

Guys, this is a serious question. I have been posting photos for some months now on the Ladyboy Venues section (Cocktails & Dreams thread) , on a daily basis. Sometimes the pictures include/feature our customers. I always ask the customers if it is ok to show them on the site. About 50 per cent agre, 50 per cent do not.
My intentions are to show that C & D is a fun place and you should make Phuket one of your holiday destinations with C & D the focus of your nightime activity. All has been going swimmingly, with many BMs coming for the first time or for a repeat visit. There have been just 2 dilemmas crop up as a result of showing the girls in the company of customers. I wont go into the full details, but obviously it was a shock seeing "their" girl fooling with another guy. Niether guy complained to me, but i heard the stories from the girls involved. In one case he was a sponsor and stopped the supply of money. I really dont give a damn about that as i hate the Thai way of lining up a line of sponsors, and am only too happy when it comes to a halt.
However, it could be that i lose these guys as customers too! That is a risk i am prepared to take in the interests of showing what a fun place the bar is. But i dont want to cause too much pain, and break any hearts.
So, my question is: should I continue the current format, or should i revert to the standard bar format of doing monthly updates of the girls in solo poses a la Stringfellows/La Bamba/Guess? Before you post what seems to be the obvious response, just think how you would feel when you see the girl you spent a week with, showering her with time, money, and presents, sitting on somebody else`s lap. On the other hand, bear in mind my purpose, which is to show a fun bar with fun people.

For the next few nights I will post only solo shots, until I know the result of this poll.
Thanks for your help.

Jimbo,

I don't think there is any problem with posting pictures of the girls with customers, as long as you have the customers consent. It's also a good opportunity to see some of the forum members (again, with their consent).

It's nice to see the girls 'in action' rather than just posing. But obviously ALL LB PICS are welcome!

I am in favor of taking pictures of LBs WITH customers BUT their faces should be electronically changed (black square) if you publish the picture. I suppose you ask the customer first if you may take the picture. I do not have problems with being photographed with LBs, but there are other guys that might get problems with their families or friends. Just remember the post of a friend whose wife discovered photos of LBs on his laptop. What if she discovered photos of him with LBs? There are LB huters that did not say to every friend and/or every member of their family about it. Imagine a nice Sunday family get-together, organized by your sister, where your nephiew comes with his laptop saying to everybody: "I discovered pictures of uncle Bobby with nice girls!".

Firstly, anybody who is foolish enough to regard these ladyboys as their ''girl friends and send them money is naive in the extreme Shocked

infact make that downright stupid, it is simply not necessary.
Rather than write about the tiny negative aspect of your wonderful thread Jimbo, I would prefer to concentrate on the two major benefits; It promotes both the bar and it's staff to such an extent that patrons tend to actually plan thier trip based upon information and pictures seen here Smile

I know that is true because that is (to some extent) what I do Laughing

Also, to us blokes this business of shagging ladyboys in Thailand is an expensive hobby and how nice it is to be able to keep abreast of the ongoing situation back at headquarters while the countdown continues towards the next escapade.
In the final analysis, I would suggest that ladyboys working at bars in Thailand which are promoted via these forums earn far more money from the provocative photography posted here than those few thousand Baht wire transfers.

your doing just great jimbo !
if the consent of customers is there, then no problems.
stevie.
you should put up some of my pics, the guys will see how good c&d's really is and the girls who work there.

If the girls and the customers are cool with it why not...not that worried about the Uncle Bobby scenario but for some the goings on in Phuket might have an adverse effect to one's welcome in Bkk or Pattaya.....

Hey Jimbo,

You have the right idea, with both parties consent go for it. Your place is great fun and the pics show this.

yep, agree with everyone, keep up the good work.
without info from people "on the ground". life can get a bit boring.

i am on the fence regarding upsetting the girls income with sponsors.
if they can hustle a few dollars out of a stupid falang even when he,s gone home, good luck to them. i am a fan of the hustle programmes,
and nobody does a long con better than an lb.
but your bar and business comes first.
you number one big boss.

Very Happy

Ok if the customer doesn't have a problem with it. Ok if the girl doesn't have a problem with it. Amen.

Never ok with me...

I think you are doing fine , however maybe you should do solo poses of the girls that object because of sponsors .
Although a Tart in a Bar is a Tart in a Bar whether shes posing with a customer or not. Confused

I really like seeing the LB's enjoying themselves with customers but as I'm not a sponsor it does not hurt me . I think Batman has the right approach . Cool

I like a mix. By all means show the bar with consenting customers having fun. I think the pics of me pretty clearly showed I was having fun without showing my face! Wink

But PLEASE DO also show shots of the girls without us punters just as you have been!!

I don´t need to see the drunken faces from the costumers to know that "C&D" is a great place to have fun.I only go there to meet some LB,not to chat with the BM,so keep posting solo pictures from the ladies and don't look for problems taking pictures from people who are living a double life(one public with their family and job and the other secret only for themselves)

I personally wouldn't want my picture on the world wide web Embarassed

Good to see a few comments, and some intelligent arguements. Most of the comments suggest that i should continue in the same vein, yet the poll (so far) only shows a small majority - 57 per cent.

The jury`s still out on this one.
