i've only been online four days and i have someone asking if i'd like to go into lounge 1000.
The only way for someone to let you *into* Lounge 1,000 is for them to give you the password to an account with 1,000+ reward points.
I'm more than willing to bet the member was asking if she wanted him to post her in the lounge. So many members think they're doing us models favors when they do that.
They aren't.
I think it is prolly the case, that yes the member was asking permision to pimp the model (Rosa_1347) in 1K. (by "pimp the model" I mean posting the model's name ((in Lounge, L1K, L10K)) linking to her room, and maybe something said promoting her.) If this is the case, the member had enough sense to ask you first, and whether or not it ever is of any benefit to the model, this member thought it could be, and wanted to try to do something to help you.
I would agree that the vast majority of the time someone pimps a model in L, L1K, L10k, that he/she is not doing the model any favour, and will not generate any extra tokens for said model, but I have to disagree that it never does any good. I do not offer to do this for models any longer. Mostly b/c it all most never is worth the time, but for other reasons having to do with not getting in a model's business. This was not always the case though, as I used to do it quite often. Only twice did this do any good that I know of, but it did work once to bring a good tipping 1K member to a model's room, and the other time the member actually became one of the model's regulars for a while. So it can help some times, if only rarely, though it is a practice best avoided IMhO. (Also one could reason that whatever chance it does have of working, that it is more likely to work better in 1K than lounge, and better yet in 10K than 1K for obvious reasons.)
As to the advantages of a Model hanging out in the lounges, I think they can be great. I do not think there are very many models who have the tolerance and right personality make up to pull it off, but I have seen it done with very good results. The example I'm referring to was a Dutch model who has gone by a few different names. At one point a few years ago she spent
quite a bit of time in 1K, (she was a known reg to 1K), and it drew me to her room. I visited her quite a bit for a year or so, and I don't think I was ever in her room when the majority of the other members there were not 1K regulars. For this patronage she had to deal with a lot of construction worker misogynistic bullshit, but she did it quite well. She was as big an asshole as the best in 1K and this seemed to buy her a good deal of comradery. As well as most of her income.
