If you stand to make money out of the project, I believe the owner of the 'set' has a right to some share in the profits or a payment, so there's probably an issue there.
So I'm assuming many of you would consider it fine if the girl got all her friends to hire rooms aswell and turn the hotel into a pseudo brothel?
No, it isn't morally wrong to kick whores out of hotels if the owners don't want the hassle of dealing with the type of clientele whores bring with them or the rep of being "that kind" of hotel.
That part certain shows how far this present world has sunk.
The kind that charge by the hour.What kind, a motel in a mining town?
The owners being sweet little people may modify HOW you enforce the law, but being adorable doesn't excuse you from the law. Would YOU be fine Rugby if that sweet couple didn't want blacks, women, liberals, yankees, furryners, or whatever?I'm not so sure that those who agree with this would be as willing to enforce it if placed in the position where they had to.
Exactly.I don't think someone having sex with a prostitute is fundamentally different from them having sex with a random woman from a bar.
The real moral crusade you'd want to have is banning prostitution in the first place. That's your issue I think.
Just because nobody objected, doesn't mean it's legal. Sometimes people break the rules so often (and you may be paid so little) that you just can't be bothered anymore to reprimand somebody for the bajillionth time.At no time did the hotel staff object, or even really notice.
I want to see your sci-fi convention costume, as I'm sure many others do as well.
This is... very strange. What a queer feeling. What on earth's come over me? I think I... I think I actually want to see pix of a woman on the internet. OMG. OMMFG!!! I think I might be straight!!! Quick, quick, I need to reassert my homosexuality! Think of my gym coach. Not enough. Think of that guy in sales. Still not enough. No, mustfightit... urge to watch monster trucking grow...It's not like I was dressed as Princess Leia, guys - I was pretty well covered up, as I prefer to wear medieval-style outfits or D&D-style mage outfits (not the kind that shows a ridiculous amount of cleavage). Just imagine various-colored long dresses, gold, silver, or copper jewelry, lots of embroidered accessories (I made my own hats and other hair accessories and pearl-embroidered shoes), leather and/or velvet pouches, and Larry Elmore-type magic-user accessories such as feathers, bells, etc. (however, I never used bat guano or skulls as part of my costume - that's taking it a bit too far!). I also had various-colored cloaks to coordinate with my costumes.
A lot of my fantasy stuff also doubled for my SCA costumes (minus the strictly D&D elements, since I had neither the talent to make my own historically-correct outfits or the $$$ to pay someone else to do it.
So it's unhealthy to be with guys who sleep around also? Meaning all of them?quite frankly it probably wasn't healthy to be consorting with the type of girls who would be game for that in the first place!
Not sunk, Hero. Differed. American Christianity seems to have a very prudish attitude towards sex IMO. Some in the world look at the US's views on sex and shake their heads at our immaturity and squeamishness.That part certain shows how far this present world has sunk.
What do you consider to be the oldest profession? Thief?even though prostitution most certainly isn't 'the oldest profession' as often claimed,
The pictures I took were strictly of my roommates, in our room. The pictures taken of me were taken in the hallways on floors designated for our convention (the mezzanine where the Bacchanal, dance, and panels were held), and the area where room parties were allowed. I was always asked for my permission before they took their pictures - not because anyone was worried about what the hotel staff thought, but just out of ordinary courtesy. None of these photos were for commercial gain. People enjoy having photos of interesting costumes, either as souvenirs of a convention, or for inspiration for their own future costuming ideas.Just because nobody objected, doesn't mean it's legal. Sometimes people break the rules so often (and you may be paid so little) that you just can't be bothered anymore to reprimand somebody for the bajillionth time.Valka D'Ur said:At no time did the hotel staff object, or even really notice.
My understanding anyway is that taking pics requires permission if you plan to use them for money. The same applies for films. You can't just start shooting whereever you like. You need permission from private property owners, and state permits for public property.
I know, but forgot to pack any. Fortunately they have sand in Calgary, too.Rose petals work too.
You know, when you make a comment like that you have to elaborate on it.The only other rule I recall was no peanut butter costumes (yes, there is a valid reason for that).
That part certain shows how far this present world has sunk.
Also peanut allergies maybe.
Also peanut allergies maybe.
The hotels don't care about peanuts. It wasn't even the hotel that forbade peanut butter costumes, since it would never occur to them that anybody would even think of doing such a ridiculous thing.There you go, the hotels are protecting the other clients against peanut allergies.
Hunter, maybe?What do you consider to be the oldest profession? Thief?
