A suggestion.
When you highlight a photographer in the magazine. Put their URL for thier stuff in the Blog flier so you don't have to go back to the magazine to pull it up. It will save downloads on both ends.

By the way, the magazine is terrific!

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin take up real money.
It's all about how to choose a correct partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the income with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

A friend of mine mentioned 2012 last night to me and it's the first I heard about it so I jumped on here out of curiosity. I think it's kind of sick and sounds like a bunch of skeptical jargon.
I choose to live every day like it is the last because let's be real, WHO THE HELL KNOWS what is going to happen or when it's your time to go on. The past is history, the future is a mystery and now is a gift, thats why it's called the present. It's not healthy to sit around and trip out about when you will die. Stop wasting your time you have now.

2019.10.07台北知名酒店經紀觀察家分析:在如今的八大行業酒店上班職場上,居然只有4%員工渴望包養框出接S(性交易)嗎?這是酒店經紀公司在九月底發布的最新酒店兼差調查結果。這份酒店打工報告,一共訪問了6千名酒店兼職的酒店小姐分別來自制服店、禮服店、便服店、飯局、直播網紅等不同領域職場工作者,其中僅有4%期待在未來五年到十年可以賺到新台幣3千萬。事實上,這股「性交易」趨勢,早已在亞洲各地悄悄崛起。從暴紅的網紅金句:「趁年輕能撈就撈!」不然青春就白混了。接S(性交易)頻繁的討論相關議題,都可見其嚴重的落差性,台灣也不例外。換言之,表現優秀等於獲得機會、鼓勵酒店小姐從基層一路到被企業界大老闆包養的公式,已經出現了新的可能。

梁爵 said...

2019.11.03知名酒店經紀內幕爆料:近期台北市長柯文哲嚴查違規營業八大行業酒店,讓北市酒店市場版圖面臨不小變動。這2、3個月來市府動作頻頻,將非法酒店斷水斷電,勒令歇業。巧合的是,被查緝歇業的酒店,剛好都屬同一集團旗下店家,也讓業界出現陰謀論的耳語,知名酒店經紀透漏是有心人在背後操作,企圖搶占台北市八大行業酒店版圖大餅。
據了解,台北市酒店勢力版圖中,大概以4大派系「梁曉尊」、「何董」、「王董」、「譚董」等人為首的集團最為人知。其中最年輕圈內都稱他為(四少、四爺)的梁小尊集團一直是龍頭勢力之一,版圖則遍及中山區與東區,擁有900位酒店小姐以及約7、8家知名便服店、禮服店、制服店等..另外持有百分之70的股份。但在地方政府嚴打稽查後,大約在同一時間,梁曉尊旗下集團所屬的配合酒店,至少有中山北路段的「名仕」、錦州街的「麗都」、八德路的「敦南麗緻」等3家酒店,遭斷水斷電而歇業。就有業界人士耳語,在台北市通化街起家的「梁小尊」,原本混跡地方,在服完兵役後就到酒店當經紀人,後來認識了一名大金主,在松江路開設了第一家酒店,吸收了不少有力股東,多年來已成了新生代勢力,在台北市酒店市場版圖中,成為一方梟雄。梁曉尊/梁小尊擁有的酒店勢力,黑白關係有如同八大行業版本的雷洛。

梁爵 said...

2020.02.05根據2019年度調查酒店工作有6成4上班族有意願酒店上班,並盼藉此酒店打工加薪新台幣7萬6000元;除了陪睡接S(性交易)、為客人口爆(口交)顏射等酒店兼差工作受上班族歡迎,曾經酒店上班的知名網紅劉XX、雪XX首度擠進酒店上班在八大行業酒店成績排行榜前3名。酒店經紀今天公布台北風俗「上班族酒店兼職現況調查」,調查顯示,有6成4受訪者有意願酒店兼職,3成6的人擁有大學生酒店兼差酒店上班,4成6受訪者無兼差打算。酒店經紀觀察上班族想要酒店兼差或是已經有兼差工作的原因,主要有希望透過兼差增加收入、白天工作薪水太低必須兼差以及工時彈性自由。

梁爵 said...

2020.02.14武漢肺炎嚴重衝擊酒店工作,很多小姐怕染病都不敢酒店上班。本刊調查,台北市的酒店幾十年來幾乎都集中在中山區,直到十幾年前,才開始拓展到東區一帶,目前包括制服店、便服店、禮服店等近百家合法、非法酒店林立,其中以趙姓、鄭姓、林姓、梁姓業者的規模最大,四人除了擁有多家酒店,旗下的經紀公司也掌控許多小姐,其他酒店若想多做點生意,還得仰賴四人幫忙調兵遣將,可說是四分天下的局面。不過,其中隨著三人年事漸高,加上都已賺足「退休金」,因而慢慢淡出業界,就在這個時候,中生代綽號毛毛蟲的王姓業者以及新生代酒店經紀梁曉尊趁勢崛起。資深酒店知情人士說,年約40歲的毛毛蟲原本是在林森北路的酒店圈當經紀,後來為求生意平順,加入竹聯幫「日堂」尋求靠山,但不同於其他逞凶鬥狠的幫派分子,他一直專注在八大行業。另一位新生代酒店經紀梁曉尊,一個剛出道的酒店經紀梁曉尊,時間背景正於八大行業的戰國時代,群雄割據⋯人人都是幹部、人人都是經紀人,在這麼競爭的環境裡脫穎而出。再千百人之內披荊斬棘、越戰越勇,不斷的創造機會闖出自己的名堂,不少資深前輩認為梁曉尊潛在未來有影響力的人物不容小覷。坊間流傳梁曉尊的小姐人數有高達200位以上⋯。
中生代毛毛蟲在酒店經紀事業穩固後,也開始跨足經營酒店,他原本在中山區開金磚、金聰、金昌、金億等搖頭酒店,卻因屢傳鬥毆及吸毒事件,加上6年前轟動一時的「信義夜店殺警案」,許多嫌犯都隸屬「中山聯盟」成員,該聯盟也有負責處理毛毛蟲旗下酒店的經紀、圍事、泊車等業務,讓他的店成為轄區警方的眼中釘。
另一位也是酒店經紀帶小姐的後起之秀新生代酒店經紀梁曉尊型式作風反而行事低調,主要經營模式採用大規模大數據(網路行銷事業)來應徵酒店小姐,Google 搜尋:梁曉尊/梁小尊。獲得亞洲地區Google認證關鍵字達到全版面。不僅如此⋯八大行業主要關鍵字(酒店工作)、(酒店上班)、(酒店經紀)、(酒店打工)、(酒店應徵)、(酒店兼差)、(酒店兼職)每組關鍵字都在首頁榮獲前3名。雖然遇到危機,但中生代毛毛蟲卻在這個時間點,開始接觸一些政商名流,開啟了主攻高檔市場的契機。由於毛毛蟲的店收費較其他高級俱樂部低,「小框」4個小時,只需5、6千元,讓許多商務客趨之若鶩。加上新生代梁曉尊頗具生意頭腦以及龐大的小姐人數,光大台北地區兩位佔市場最大公約數。

2020.05.31酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容背滿學貸信貸,優渥人生對妳而言好遙遠?快來哈囉舒壓,我在酒店上班的日子給自己一個機會,不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因成就日收破萬高薪人生! 工作環境單純,安全更無憂。想脫貧?這次好機會別錯過。酒店上班-酒店兼職-兼差如何達成人生的第一桶金免繳保證金/免證件/不綁約。薪資超透明 月入10萬不是夢。服務: 安全面試, 最佳顧問, 單純保證, 安全呵護。一、酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?酒店小姐的收入有多少?有急用可以借支嗎? 職場須知 【酒店PT 】以一個〝單純〞陪酒的酒店小姐,一天的收入約3000~7000(不含小費)除非有〝額外〞的服務,一天可以領。而且只要做酒店工作,這些都是無法避免的「有人覺得做禮服店就賺很多,又不會出場,我都覺得是幻想。你不是模特兒等級的,哪間禮服店收?傳播工作與酒店工作有什麼不同傳播小姐與酒店小姐的工作內容其實大同小異,但在工作內容以外卻有許多的大不同,我來為各位做出2者不同的差異性,給各位做個酒店工作內容: 桌面服務,一般人通常會想偏,其實桌面服務是很簡單,也很單純的一件事。桌面服務有以下幾個要點: 看了很多篇酒店文,好像很少有男生寫經驗? 我是酒店少爺,在滿18歲那天開始上班雖然不是第一次進去酒店,不過以工作人員的身份倒是頭一次,有一些沒有接觸過酒店的姐妹來找我應徵酒店小姐的時候,我們談的都很融洽,實際上她們也很需要來酒店上班賺錢,可是後來卻沒有來上班,不是沒有休假?那個是有簽約的對吧? 不可違約?薪水大約多少?怎麼領的? 應該不是月薪吧? 女孩子去那裡上班會不會,這表示我還不夠好,而且不誨言的,我也希望收入可以增加!) 雖說酒店上班一個星期的收入等於一個上班族一個月二至三萬的薪水,新冠肺炎疫情延燒,讓酒店文化也成為民眾茶餘飯後的話題,一名女大生在《Dcard》分享自己酒店上班的經驗,也讓她見識到這個工作辛苦的一面,分享自己在酒店上班當酒店小姐的甘苦經驗。很多不懂酒店這環境的人,想來酒店上班、酒店打工、酒店兼差、酒店兼職,卻往往會被這八個問題所困擾著!在此酒店經紀琳琳姐為各位整理出以下幾點問與答,究竟要如何在第一天就上手酒店的工作呢?許多人都認為酒店是個複雜的環境,不過與現實社會的壓力相較,還是會有人選擇在酒店上班、酒店打工。

梁爵 said...

2020.08.25酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容一般人的觀念裡酒店是一個複雜、不好的環境,酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?其實在酒店上班沒什麼不好,工作性質跟一般在聊天的美眉是同性質的。
例如酒店小姐去酒店上班都一定要出場接s嗎?:像跟一群人去錢櫃好樂迪參加聯誼會那種形式,認識交際不同的人,一樣是跟客人單純的閒聊、喝 酒炒熱氣份,但只是變成工作,還有錢可以賺,不好的是因為吸毒而去做酒店,甚至賺錢去養男人這是最笨、最愚蠢的作法。
酒店經紀〝俗稱經紀人〞我們常遇到的女孩子大部分都是單親媽媽要養小孩、要還父母的負債、要實現自己的目標、還有解決自己卡債問題等,這些並沒有什麼不好,人總是因為環境的因素不得已,你只要知道自己最終的目標是什麼就行。另外補充一點,小部分酒店是有做黑的沒錯,但不想做黑的也是大有人在,賣笑不賣身應該有聽過還是可以把大把銀子賺進口袋。
常有女孩們因為報紙裡的高薪而吸引,卻不知道這家酒店的型態而付出更高的犧牲本身在這一行業也有一段時間,真的有像電影裡的故事情節發生,其實女孩們真的因為經濟上的需要而這樣的工作,除了心理要有充足的準備之外,還要先了解這家店的性質,才不會後悔莫及,許多的女孩子對酒店都有很多的不了解就誤入了這個行業,更扯的是有些女孩子被報紙上的小廣告所騙,九成九不是被騙財就是被騙色。

2020.10.20知名網紅小模 援交賺錢 超好賺!最近有位【酒店小姐】【酒店公關】F奶網美「 Aqq cami」 橫綱凱咪,在網路上爆料酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容,市面上我們所見到的網美,有超過七成都私下提供賣淫服務。這爆料看似勁爆,但其實真在網路上發酵時,其實所有網友都內心有底,只是驚訝於竟然真的有網美敢正大光明的說出來,甚至還將從兩萬到二十萬不等的價碼公開。網路上對這件事情的看法,大多數的人都是「不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因不意外」。並且總時不時看到許多人將酒店酒店小姐酒店上班到底都在做麼?賣淫的定義延伸到更廣酒店小姐酒店公關酒店上班到底都在做麼?,包含禮物、交往甚至結婚,都被廣義賣淫給囊括在其中酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?。這些真是老調重彈了,齋主也就不多費唇舌,我倒是想聊聊些個人感觸。我相信當代都市人,都肯定有些網美朋友。不管這些人是你的朋友、老朋友、小後輩或是朋友的朋友。她們靠著自身的美貌、進步的醫美,或是優秀的圖形演算法,在網路上展現自我並攢了大量的人氣。你總有機會和她在某次餐敘中見面。你是人,她也是人,你會在和朋友見面時抱怨工作,當然她也會抱怨些工作上的事情。她總會在最後抱怨起圈內其他人的道德瑕疵,其中總避不了討論其他網美私下接些有道德瑕疵的工作,賣淫、包養等各類於名聲有損的行為。然後朋友畢竟是你的朋友,你始終願意相信她不是這樣的人。齋主我問過無數次,所有人的網美朋友都自稱是清流。那她們口中那些賣淫或包養的網美,到底又在哪裡?就我看來,我相信網美圈內真有賣淫現象,但我不認為有到「七成」這麼普遍,當然也有可能是我對該圈子的文化不熟悉。但我想之所以我們會相信,多少也因為身邊有著太多的流言蜚語。當任何一個網美或網美的關係人,向你說些該圈子的羶色八卦時,通常的情況是傳播關係鏈上每多一個人,正如媒體本質,就會加油添醋一番。富二代男友送了一杯CITY CAFE給女友網美,經過一傳十、十傳百的加料後,就變成了土豪用北宋汝窯,裝了西王母瑤池玉露來送給網美,然後一番天雷勾動地火下,成就了一樁多人運動的美事。是,我認為謠言可畏。這些謠言之所以存在,多半是因為我們不會公開談論這些事情的真偽。久而久之,只有那些辛辣的要素被保留下來,又或者被新創造了出來。而我們最後也根據這些謠言,構築了我們對於這些網美世界的想像。對,我相信有網美將賣淫當作主要收入,但七成還是太誇張了。除非「賣淫」的定義很廣,廣到連收禮物、請吃飯、一起出遊,都能算是賣淫的定義中,不然我認為這種身價的女人,不可能還是一手交錢一手開腿。我認為橫綱凱咪敢於公開爆料此事,有著不容易的勇氣,也肯定承受了不小的壓力。雖然我不見得讚同她所說的「七成」,但她其中討論到的「沉淪」,倒是我親眼所見某個朋友的經歷。我記得十多年前,有個漂亮的朋友。她那時初嘗美貌所帶來的紅利,不管追求者的禮物,星巴克紙杯上的關心,甚至是小吃攤老闆招待的嘴邊肉等。某天,她就踏入了那時利潤還很豐厚的「Show Girl圈」。當時台灣展覽需求暴增,她接了大量的工作,從一開始的電玩、動漫,到後來的3C、工業、車展等等。那時我只感覺這名朋友好像開始走得很遠,遠到我再也不認識這個人。這幾年在臉書的朋友上,我看到了她。老實說,大概是因為接受了太多整形的調整,我已經無法在她與她朋友們的合照中認出她是哪一位。甚至過往單純而清新的美貌也已然逝去,取而代之的是滿滿的風塵味。我翻了翻她過往的照片,就是標準的在國外拍照打卡,在泳池畔與其他姊妹們的合照,再不然就是瞎拚的戰利品,唯獨欠缺的就是感情生活。這種女人的臉書和生命中,似乎從未有過一段感情,她們的照片中不會有男人,也不曾公開聽說她與哪位男性交往。而看著她曾經經營的臉書專頁上,還停留在當年還在Show Girl時的紀錄、活動和照片。我經常會想,她是否還認得過去的自己?又或者她是否還願意承認那段過往?
