OK, so the voting ended in a tie.  I think that indicates that the two providers each have a loyal following — good!  So why try to decide who is the "better provider"?  They are apparently both very good (alas, I have seen neither of them).  If we are going to have such a runoff vote, I suggest that only those guys who have seen both of them should vote.  Otherwise, how can you possibly have a meaningful opinion as to who is better?  My $0.02

Or.. like me, I didn't vote the first go around, but have visited both before and decided to help break the tie.

Well said Bailey; voting almost always becomes a popularity contest when voting for a "winner" including our presendential elections. 

BTW, I do like cream and maybe cooking ability should be a criteria for POY.  I know who'd win hands down then…LOL.

I was talking to Jessi this weekend and have come to realize that the distiction/honor of being voted "Provider of the Year" is as much for advertising (for them and for Tom) than anything else. Both Billie, Jessi and Tom use it in their ads.

There are some exceptions of course, but most of us who provide a personal service don't actively, or outwardly anyway, feel a need to compete with each other. We each bring a little something different into our sessions and we well understand that variety puts spice in our lives; we also share some of the same clients.

 I agree with you 100% Bailey, as you know, and love all your ideas. But that puts Tom in a position to have to know who has seen who and personally I think that should remain private. He obviously knows quite a bit since he fields all the verified client requests but I don't know if that is a criteria to vote or not. I thought for sure Tom would have been in on this thread by now but he seems to be just watching. 

Oralguy, that's an excellent suggestion too and last year when Billie was runner up to Angel she worded her ad about it perfectly… and so has Jessi. Speaking of Jessi, I helped her move into her new house this weekend and it's awesome. Big, airy massage room, very private, lots of parking and you can see in her face how much happier she is there. If you haven't seen her yet, you should and if you have… you need to book an appt and check out her new digs.

Sorry I don't have an ad up right now (slow month) but will soon with all new rates and hours and such.

Love you all 

can I add my 2 cents

1.  Yes It is an honor to have won, does this title give you advantages??

2.  I also do see that competing has it disadvantages, like peoples feelings get hurt and it stirs the pot. Its too bad theres            always gonna be hatters.

3.  What happens to the WInner after provider wins?  (just ask me)  Does providers flow of business leave the next year? Has provider peaked? clearly provider can't compete again.

4.  Does it make other providers treat her differently? causing jelousy, upseting other providers clients that feel their favorite provider should have won. 

5.  Does it attract LE?  Is provider licienced/ insured? 
6.  Does provider pay taxes? Does it attract the IRS?

Just a few questions to think about
