i have been seeing Broadway Daddy for a few months now and deal with him alittle differently than I am accustomed to. Typically i am much more of a "show me the money" baby. Not because i am money-hungry and don't care for my daddy but just because I am a practical baby. I have been working and earning a very good living for quite a while now. i earn enough that what I consider to be my financial needs are probably a tad different then most sugarbabes. "Gift-Daddies" and "Travel-Daddies" generally don't even register on my radar. For the most part I have found that kind of arrangement for me to be pretty useless I much rather the cash. thank you very much
I can easily buy my own gifts, I already travel extensively, in fact I am a platinum or higher elite traveler on a number of airlines, I have a solid collection of high end bags (Vuitton, Chanel, Balenciaga), shoes (Giuseppe Zanotti, Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik), and a jewelry collection with a VERY IMPRESSIVE appraisal value--particularly my collection of men's and vintage watches (Rolex, Brietling, Hermes, Chanel). The overwhelming majority of these items were purchased by me with my own money. They are luxuries...nice to have, pretty to look at but receiving them gets me no closer to my real goals in life. Getting these items on my own is not a hardship for me and I'm a difficult cookie so shopping for me and getting me a gift that i'm really excited about is HARD...
I never really see eye-to-eye with "Travel-Daddies" because I find that generally they expect you to be happy to be along for the ride with little regard for any additional compensation for your time outside of throwing you a few chits for shopping. Meanwhile you are expected to take time out of your schedule, pack up your little sugarcase or rollie bag and be at their beck and call throughout the trip. Unfortunately, first class air and luxury hotel stays don't impress me and aren't nearly enough for me to really feel like you are making it worth my while so I don't even consider these offers. i have a real job and real obligations outside of SUGAR so i simply dont have the time to jetset without some reasonable quid pro quo for my time. I would rather a strictly monetary arrangement to help me offset my expenses, save up for a rainy day and continue to pay for school in cash the way i have been managing to do for the last year.
i say all this as a preface to telling you about my relationship with Broadway Daddy. i found his sweet refined ass on craigslist of all places lol! i answered his ad looking for a female companion to join him for a private VIP showing of the Broadway Play Revival of Fences at the Cort Theatre on West 48th. I had been dying to find time to see the show for weeks with delicious Denzel Washington and the genius of Oscar-nominated Viola Davis in starring roles. There was no real mention of sugar but i thought it would be fun as a one-time thing because i really wanted to see this particular play, was free that evening and I found the tone of his ad endearing. i found it amusing that he indicated he was a white upperclass Brit but he specifically requested an african-american woman...
I am not african-american but I am brown and i am beautiful and I was pretty sure that is what he was looking for and i was right. :)
I figured maybe he wanted a black date because he thought a black female would fully appreciate the black themes that run throughout most August Wilson plays (I remember reading his plays in college) but he assured me that no that just happened to be a coincidence that this is the play he selected. He in fact is almost exclusively attracted to women of color, always had been since he was a young boy in London. I sent one photo, he said he found me beautiful. He sent 3 or 4 pictures and i thought him cute but he seemed VERY anxious about my response as if he expected me to think him unattractive (which he certainly is not). his exact words were "here all the recent photos of me...so there can be no dashed expectations" lol.
he also has concerns about whether I would think him too old for me (late 40s), which is actually skewing pretty young for the daddies i have been meeting lately so again NOT a problem for me.
So we met and had a dandy time...
In his ad he was looking for dinner and a broadway show maybe more...obviously with no sugar I was not even considering the "maybe more..." part but it really has never come up. So far we have seen Fences, Memphis, a Little Night Music with Catherine Zeta Jones and the legendary Angela Lansbury, as well as Fela. i know right?!? what a lucky find! we were supposed to see a Behanding in Spokane but never got around to it. He is a Tony voter so he HAS TO see every single broadway show...isn't that amazing and I get to tag along and sit in his great seats. We usually meet for a quick dinner beforehand at a nice restaurant in the theatre district which all happens to be just steps from my office workplace so i can just throw on some higher pumps, re-gloss my lips, grab a smaller bag and go downstairs to meet him afterwork. We've been to Bond 45, Bobby Van's, Sushi of Gari on 46, and Sardi's. Thank God that he's partial to a good steak so I can easily keep away from eating carbs otherwise I would be a round little butterball rolling down broadway with all that good eating. lol
Anyway, we chit chat easily enough during dinner, he tells the greatest stories about his crazy days growing up overseas and the funny people he's known in the theatre and places he's seen. he's a gentleman, polite and every story is just funnier and cuter when it's told in his adorable english accent. We spend alot of time talking about what we liked, disliked or LOVED about the last show we saw. airy topics certainly nothing heavy, we watch the show and right after he pops me in a waiting car outside the theatre (paid for by his company i gather). no lingering, no feeling me up just a quick peck on the lips or on my forehead as he helps me in the car with a promise to call and set something up next week or so and i'm off to my townhouse alone. Not that I'm complaining I mean sex with him would be no hardship but I dont exactly feel like ripping my panties off when he's around either
...with him it's all very 'neutral'--I would say i'm "fond" of him and dont get me wrong i'm a fan of "fond" but it doesnt make me feel strongly one way or the other about being physical with him.
at first i found it alittle odd that he never put the moves on me...he's not a shy man, but as time has gone by i have stopped reading into it. I know he's attracted to me and that he continues to enjoy my company and the fact that i'm not being financially compensated make it go down easier
even last week when he offered to provide my wardrobe for the tony awards he sent me to saks on fifth avenue and 50th for everything but i saw no cash. i just showed up on friday and everything was prearranged with a shopper there. i tried on and picked out a dress and shoes, got my hair blown out and set up a makeup appointment for sunday afternoon and never saw a bill or signed a receipt. Broadway Daddy took care of everything. even when the louis vuitton boutique on the first floor of Saks didnt have the clutch i wanted the shop girl made a call and came back to tell me that Broadway Daddy gave her permission to call ahead with payment so that I could walk down to the Vuitton flagship on 58th and pick up the clutch there. it was all very sweet and well thought out.
now i have known of some men that have no problem being extremely generous but they just do not like handing over a wad of cash and feeling like they a john or like are paying for the company a callgirl.
I confess that I usually do not have the patience to deal with that kind of guy.
I would much rather be straight forward and upfront. i like to SEE my money and do with it as i please. i need the help, you would like to enjoy my company, I rather know what to expect, settle it right upfront and then never speak of it again when we are together. then i can just expect the same monthly and stop worrying about it and relax. otherwise I would find myself worrying about whether you fully understand what my needs are and will take care of them or whether you are just going to try and get over on me then toss some token gesture my way. I don't deal well with any situations that are left vague. I deal in definites. Definites are what I deal with at work and it's how i am comfortable dealing in the sugar world as well.
So dealing with Broadway Daddy has been refreshing. i see him when I can fit him in and it's all very low pressure. Even though going to all the new shows and nice dinners are perks, I normally I would have expected anyone else to offer those things PLUS alittle something for my piggie bank but i find myself not minding the absence of cash with him. he is so easy-going and makes absolutely no demands on me. I love watching broadway plays and could never find someone to go with so every year i ended up missing shows i really wanted to see because i cant imagine going to a play alone. The little shopping generosity he extended for the tony awards added to my goodwill towards him and probably bought him at least another 6 months until i ponder our little siituation again so it's all good
Here is the Sue Wong feather gown I wore to the award show. I'm not sure what his final bill for Saks was including the Salon salon visit but I'm pretty sure at least the dress may have been on sale at the time so I was mindful not to totally scare him away with the total
