If I go back to the original point of this post, I think I agree with what was said. LMP was an amazing experience, when Emma had close control and Moss would sit upstairs holding court. I loved the anniversary and christmas parties in particular.
Since the move to Phoenix, it has lost some of it's sparkle and is a bit more hit and miss. I have tried to engage with the girls and with Barbara when I am there (perhaps I talk too much) but on the whole I am made to feel welcome by them and they tend to treat me quite well.
I don't like the 1 room set up and it all feels more functional and a bit flat. Even small things like the selection of food and drink available has become more basic.
When Emma is there, I don't see her getting involved with the girls - unlike in the old days when she would bark instructions at them and at me (for not licking a pussy when i was resting).
Having said that, I still go back and I am looking for something that recaptures the old LMP.
If that makes me a tout, a pimp or a frustrated prossie then so be it..
If you attended the anniversary and Christmas parties at LMP when they were based in Lancaster Gate we may have met as I often attended both the 4 hour parties with the 2 hour break in between. The multi-room layout downstairs worked perfectly in those days for me, good to have a wander about from room to room with Em also always wandering about encouraging punters and supervising the WGs though most were good anyway, those who weren't got the push. WGs like Jewels, Antonia, Jennifer, Jasmin got on with offering their punters a good service, they didn't need telling.
What helped make an LMP party to me was Em being their and often seeing other punters I had met their before, as a very regular regular this happened a lot. It was party central then, I never had a bad party their, that's some going as Em and Moss were always on top of things and wanting to get punters return custom. When I first went in 2008 it was £120 for 2 hours or £200 for 4 hours or £300 for 6 hours, great VFM then it went up to £140 for 2 hours, £240 for 4 hours, i don't think i went to 3 parties on the same day after the price rise. Still VFM to me after the rise, i wanted 4 or 5 WGs that i liked to be at the party. The rota was rarely wrong and when i rang to check if there was a change i was always told. It didn't happen a lot that any of the WGs didn't show but Em got another one in most times.
Its a great shame that TPC isn't as good as LMP as punters i know and trust who have been to TPC have told me, its now hit and miss and for them mostly miss, hopefully for all punters this will improve. Em should be ensuring it does and i find it a shame she has allowed things to slip compared to LMP. And she is charging £160 for 2 hours but with 2-3 less WGs per party which is the same as LMP at his end. That's not VFM for me anymore, each and every party would have to be LMP level for it to be so.
